Linux is not just another word for Unix or Unix-like and Mac OS X/macOS has never used nor shipped with the Linux kernel.

Consolidating Spaces and Exposé is not one of the things they did that hurt Mac OS X.

It’s politically touchy here too. Don’t let that stop you.

“They” is a private profit-seeking corporation. Local governments claim monopolies on roads and public transport in the places Waymo operates. Existing public transportation infrastructure is also being heavily underused as both MUNI and BA

One correction I want to make on the point of slavery: slavery as practiced in the antebellum South through the end of the Civil War is gone. Slavery is very much an alive and active albeit illegal in most parts of the world trade, and the

Well, that's how it should work. Qualified immunity massively complicates this in favor of the cop and therefore the city employing said cop and the residents of the city. It is technically not impossible to win such a case if you get

Well the unknown variable is whether like Trump he would prove to be more popular than the party he ran under after a successful Presidential election effectively taking it over so you got me there; but they were in 2016 both outsiders who

I don’t disagree, although I’ll go a little further and say 1) parties should run their own damn primaries if they run them at all and 2) do so without spending a single cent of public money to do so.

Counterpoint: after World War II we still have troops in both Germany and Japan who are now our allies . Any kind of occupation, and our occupational forces were small, was always going to be a long term commitment. Instead we just strai

This is undoubtedly one of the few times the Democrats collectively did the right thing and defended against an outsider from taking over their Party the way Trump took over and undermined the Republican Party. People like to imagine that t

That and the election for the President is functionally independent of the House and Senate elections because they’re serving terms and controlling Congress does not mean controlling the Presidency and vice versa. In the UK, y’all put the l

Hypothetically, but parties are also incredibly weak right now. In California, we run an Open Primary system for every partisan office outside the POTUS so parties can’t even guarantee they’ll get a candidate into the general election even

You have yet to make an actual argument, only gesticulate in the general direction that you think it is problematic for people to choose not to vote in every election on every ticket. This is not a well developed position, only one that is

I mean if you fail a logic check and treat equally an automobile accident with a cavalcade of knuckleheads running to acquire power, you are absolutely correct. Just not in this reality.

I think by third choice he meant an outcome other than Trump or the Democratic nominee (presumed Harris, I guess?) winning this election. One of them will definitely win and the other will definitely lose; I’m with you that they don’t have

I'll check it out when I get a chance. As irritating as this particular election is to me, I'm still fairly into the history of our elections.

Elections occurring and people voting in them is necessary for the continuance of a democratic society. The actions of individuals who are qualified to vote within said democratic society choosing not to vote does not nullify this. > Abs

Same things as what Washington and Adams had to deal with: state-building. There were the very contentious issues of the Bank of the United States (the Democratic-Republicans under Jefferson and Madison were originally opposed to a National

Voting is using a share of power borne of your citizenship to express a political preference. I too used to think of voting as more of an obligation, but it really isn’t. It is a choice. If you’re staring down two candidates you don’t want

You are correct. What motivated the change was Aaron Burr campaigning against Jefferson in the 1800 Presidential election and both were part of the Democratic-Republican Party. For subsequent elections the Democratic-Republican Party contin

The great thing about an adversarial court system is when the challenge before the court is that a private party is challenging the agency’s interpretation of the law, they have to make their own case about it and convince a Judge that they

In an indirect manner, we do mark having lived the 27th year in the following forms, we just don’t say it exactly the way you phrased it: 1. On your 26th Birthday, when you say you turned 26 what it means is that you have now lived 26 years

Yeah, but giving too much deference to agencies is also a recipe for peoples' rights to be trampled by a regulatory agency acting unlawfully. Acting in accordance with their policy goals is fine and all, but they still have to do so wi

Well they’re not trying to produce any policy. A District court is trying to resolve a case brought before them.

Yep! And District Courts are bound by the Appellate Circuit Courts above them.

This is stare (“starry”) decisis, and while it is absolute vertically, it is less so horizontally. Basically the court can decide that it got it wrong before, but the 9th Circuit is bound by a higher court’s precedents (SCOTUS in this case)

You have a compelling argument. The only reason I’m suspicious of it is that it is just that compelling.

This is the most optimistic spin I’ve ever seen on how we pulled out of Afghanistan and while I’m not sure I believe it, I kind of want to.
