This would all be much more reasonable if literature genuinely supported lockdowns, but in reality it's a toss-up. Studies looking at quality-adjusted life years have not discovered a meaningful COVID-related benefit from the lockdowns

The pandemic didn't kill those businesses, that's just straight up dishonest. Government enforced lockdowns killed those businesses.

You can also buy so-called pre-activated "Anosims" in Turkish shops everywhere around the country, no need to do KYC.

Why is it such a pain? You can print hundreds of good enough fake IDs every day with a sub $1000 printer.

Do you think the government can't be criticised for their covid response?

In the case of this particular forum, it's primarily because they're children.

There's the raidforums indictment, but as I remember it does not directly address the "intent to defraud" question wrt access device fraud https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1493586&

Are you saying that Adam Savage had his bank accounts closed? As far as I can tell, that was only a civil case and entirely different from the parent commenters story.

How would background check services get hold of this information before trial? Were you arrested? I'm sorry, but based on my experience with these systems, this sounds like a fake story. Even the detail about your bank accounts being c

Has there been a single documented interception of an Iskander ballistic missile? Iskander-K cruise missiles have almost certainly been intercepted, yeah.

by gggggg5 4y ago
Cruise missiles, not ballistic missiles.

by gggggg5 4y ago
It's also about the wrong kind of missiles, cruise missiles and not ballistic missiles.
48.
by gggggg5 4y ago
I don't think there's been a single documented interception of a ballistic missile in Ukraine. Cruise missiles are an entirely different thing and largely irrelevant when it comes to delivery of nuclear weapons.

I would think that facebook being nonchalant about battery usage has far more in common with cupholder diameters than with seatbelt designs.

No, neither of those are even remotely comparable.

Are we talking about boost phase, midcourse or terminal phase defense? In all of these cases, a successful intercept will happen tens if not thousands of kilometers from the target. A boost phase interception would happen above the launch a

>they kill people though at their scale just by the fact that people can't call 911. In the same way that everyone who drives a car is a murderer, a ridiculous appeal to emotion.

What significant local physical presence does Apple have in Thailand? They're setting up a factory there, kicking that out would hurt Thailand way more than it would hurt Apple.

How else could it be? It's simply not possible that all worldviews are equal. It's undoubtedly true that my view of the world is simply better than someone else's and vice-versa.

> If Apple breaks laws isn't that what Governments should do? It depends.
56.
by gggggg5 4y ago
I was specifically suggesting doing this for Apple-bound communications, not for all traffic. In that situation blocking private relay would just break app store and other important functionality, rendering the devices borderline useless.

by gggggg5 4y ago
There are significant costs associated with something as visible as banning the sales of Apple devices. Governments are certainly capable of doing this, but the cost-benefit analysis does not necessarily add up.
58.
by gggggg5 4y ago
There are fairly successful companies like Telegram and Signal, who are aggressively using technical measures to evade censorship. Apple certainly could do this.
59.
by gggggg5 4y ago
From a purely technical perspective, they could just force private relay for all Apple-bound traffic. Thailand would have to choose between working iPhones and blocking private relay.
