I think the whole point of OP is to have completely separate installs (e.g. system apps installed in one root and user apps in another). If you go installing latest apps from different sources/repos, you're bound to face conflicts

Low IQ immigrants have not caused most of these issues, they simply compound them and add to the overwhelming burden that already exists. It takes a special kind of stupid to not realize that these increased costs eventually have to be pa

Japan's population has the 4th highest IQ of any country in the world (105). The homogeneity also lends to a very high trust factor, so if any country can turn itself around, I think it's them.

Young people already in the West might like to have kids as well, if not for the massive looming burdens already upon them in part because of these subsidized social costs, not to mention growing college education debts and home ownership f

It's important to note that these are the sort of people who directly profit from gun control: gangsters and politicians. To say nothing of law enforcement, the legal system, or prison systems. The Philippines (apparently where the wea

I hope that's not a common use case (among the technologically literate). I would expect said individuals to have far more passwords of sufficient length and complexity (not to mention duration) than could reasonably be remembered.

While this site is new, the underlying basis is not. I recall using PayPal Credit via G.E. Capital nearly a decade ago. Albeit not for a bill, but for an online purchase. The terms were the same. I was in college at the time and even though

Doesn't the secure update mechanism simply permit access to the system partition? This late in the game, how can that possibly give Apple user filesystem keys? Those require the PIN or password. An OS update at this point can only perm

Per the California Coastal Act, you're free to walk along the waterline (below the high tide line). However this particular beach is surrounded by rocky cliffs so it's unlikely you'd get very far. Closest access would probabl

The surf there is treacherous. It's not the sort of place you'd want to ferry people to. Besides, there is other beach access in the area that is accessible from land. Perhaps such an action would have value as a form of protest.

Many people use third-party email clients via POP, IMAP, or an application-specific password. Just think about all the people using Thunderbird, mobile email clients, etc. The day they stop permitting that is the day they no longer offer an

Very few people in the U.S. see the value (and necessity) of production. Classical economics is dead and in it's place people seem to think wealth can be created through consumption. It is absolute madness. Unfortunately government ben

There are a lot of (POS) counterfeit goods as well. It is very difficult to be certain you're purchasing the genuine article. At least this has been my experience purchasing electronics from merchants on Amazon in recent years.

There's been some legitimate concern over what Uber does with the customer data it collects. Spying on and blackmailing journalists and whatnot. Who knows what else. They don't exactly have a "do no evil" motto. http:&#

I wholeheartedly agree with you. A world of centralized monopolies is quite a scary prospect. Less so when they are not enforced by government, but concerning nonetheless. However not everyone in tech feels this way. I detect this sentiment

The U.S. taxes citizens on worldwide income, so becoming a Russian resident is not likely to help. There is also a significant expatriation tax for those wishing to renounce their citizenship. I suppose you could move to Puerto Rico or expa

People with higher education, largely left-leaning, make that trade every day. They have a strong desire to bend others to their will in a manner eerily similar to that of religious fundamentalists. They don't mind advocating for tax i

I guess a used vehicle purchase would be the more likely scenario. At least in the U.S. with person to person sales, you can usually negotiate much more favorable terms with cash.
