for some certain models it offers updated android versions (while the company doesn't)

gambling is a little bit different, as you have to pay and receive money (easily enforceable bans). But here we are talking about a free service which is also offered by many foreign alternatives (which of course are not going to cooperate.)

"Writing is thinking. The clearer your thoughts, the better the output. It's kind of the main reason why writing is an essential part of the learning process (especially in schools)."

Or perhaps probes to the Mars?

Great job! There is a form to report typos. Anywhere for duplicates and more complicated errors?

It seems even more suprising when you realize that the then almost magical Siri was released 12-13 years ago! What a wasted head start...

Though kidney stones are the most horrible experience of my life time (worse than being shot), you should take care of your bones as well.

Some studies linked high consumption of apple vinegar with early osteoporosis.

"But the onus would be on the German government to build the overhead cables, which cost an estimated 2.5 million euros per kilometer, or about $5 million per mile."

“Numerous studies have come to the conclusion that overhead cable trucks, despite the high infrastructure costs, are the most cost-effective option,” the ministry said.

I doubt that. I mean, I see a very little difference. We even had a harsh anti-hijab dress code then. And we still have elections. Perhaps the oil industry made the real difference.

As Daron Acemolgu stated beautifully, in a country with an absolute economic power (a family, a corporation, a foreign country, etc) which controls the Army at the same time, there is no hope for a real change. Even a gradual one. It all starts from the moment when a king or a government starts to 'need' their people and give them some real power in return.

No doubt. In fact the current speaker of the parliament clearly stated this some days ago:

It's way far more complicated than simply a coup. Though it defenitly was a terrible thing to happen.

Iran has never had an effective justice system (religous reasons / kings' economic monopolies). Without one, nothing like a democracy is possible. It was democratic just on the paper.

The morality police is here to stay (and it's not only about hijab!). They just renamed the department to "public safety police". It's said that the hijab patrols (gasht-e ershad) is gone. Not officialy yet. They are about to decriminalize having no hijab. No further arrests, but there will be a fine for those who have no hijab (believed to start from around $15. The minimun wage is $1/h here. The median is ~$2/h).

There was no hijab law for the first 5yrs of the regime. The normal police officers were to enforce the hijab law afterwards. It wasn't effective enough so they came up with the idea of having "hijab patrols" by the so-called morality police.

I’m not a fan of Google, and you might hate to hear this:

Sometimes here in Iran AMP is a lifesaver for us. Almost every single useful website/service is banned here due to government’s mass censorship (unbelievably, including tech news websites, some wikis, some regular Linux repos, tweeter, FB, YouTube, and even DuckDuckGo!) and AMPs might help you visiting a webpage in case your VPN doesn’t work properly.

PS: Google services are not filtered here.
