Great! If they believe something different, then they can start voting that way. Otherwise, I think I'll just keep saying what is obviously true and justified and fair to say about them. As for "unrelated" political issues: s

No. I imagine you already know why.

Very timely post given the threat of the fascist movement in the US right now. Especially interesting that Orwell mentions the right to birth control, since that, too, is now being threatened and destroyed in the US. Orwell understood the l

Since nobody else has brought them up yet, I would recommend ALL of Orwell's Essays, which can be had in various editions.

Easy for me to believe. Highly intelligent and skilled people are often also very arrogant and think they can't get caught. Or, they have blind spots. Or, they just get careless about certain things.

We don't have a "failed welfare system". Welfare works. The only "failure" here is our failure to keep adequately funding it.

Getting from 0k to 47k is not the challenge or the impressive part, though. That should be typical, and increasingly is. More impressive is getting from 100k to 147k, for instance.

Carrier-provided, not without third-party stuff, as others have explained. But the vast majority of users are on WiFi most of the time they are using their phones. When on WiFi, you can control the DNS quite easily.

It's a little bit better but it's still a crap aspect ratio, and turning it vertical doesn't fix all of the problem. Now it's too tall and not wide enough.

Except Apple hasn't prevented others from opening a market. You're aware of Android, right? It's not "my definition". It's THE definition.

Someone needs a tutorial on what "monopoly" means. Controlling app distribution solely within your own platform is not a monopoly. You might wish it were. You might not like it; you might want it changed. But that doesn't mag

I have never, in 15 years on iOS, run into a single "kind of software" that Apple has supposedly "locked out" that I actually wanted or needed.

Is "the market" going to magically provide all the substantial benefits of an Apple-run store for apps, too? No. It's not. "The market" is going to say: sorry users, fuck that, y'all can just magically research

Did you research Apple's costs for running the App Store, screening apps for security, etc., before making this blanket statement? I'd wager not.

If you're going to level this accusation about what Apple supposedly "wants", you should at least have the common courtesy to support it. In any way. At all. Or just admit it: you're making it up, especially the part abo

You're still wrong. Design counts. Apple has a huge design lead here. There's no way to successfully obscure or distract from that fact.

I'm pretty sure "Apple" was not adding that thermal paste. ;)

Let me see if I have this straight. Apple has a tiny slice of the overall market, but you are terribly, terribly offended, and so your proposed solution is for Chrome to get more than 90% market share, because that would be a better situati

Basically same experience for me. CalDigit TB 3 dock, 2019 16" MBP. I use 2 external displays, a 27" Dell and a 24" Dell. Works very reliably. Dock settings, window locations, everything is solid. Most of the cheaper docks AN

You think the average Glenn Beck viewer is going to sit still while you "show" this, or "show" anything, and then change their views based on what you have "shown"? If so, you have been asleep since the Reagan

And how precisely did you arrive at your little "estimation"? How many so-called "abortionists" did you interview? How did you gather your data on what they "care" about? Did you interview condom manufacturers,

Dawkins says that we "need to persuade" them. But he's wrong. We're the majority. They managed to change the law, even though they are a minority. This cannot stand. If they want to change the law, then THEY need to pers

Could you please at least do two minutes of research before coming in here with this take, using a brand-new burner junk account no less? This is the most polled issue in American politics and has been for half a century. We know with cert

No, it's not. The Court has "acknowledged" no such thing. This court will use its power however it wants. It recognizes absolutely no concept about "overstepping". It will do what it wants. That has been made abunda
