So what? Doesn't mean we aren't allowed to criticize them representing their "own interest"/rent seeking.

Blocking VPNs is a government demand? I'm highly skeptical of this.

Being able to visit the emergency room and having to pay whatever they want isn't remotely the same as "provide healthcare for its citizens".

I don't think that disables the "online" flag. As far as I'm aware, it's not currently possible to disable that one.

You can't disable the "online" status display when you're active in WhatsApp. Their settings page doesn't indicate this. So it's still possible to profile your contacts even with everything set to "maximum

You are affected: There's no way to disable the "online" status display when the app is opened in WhatsApp.

Plenty of small laptops with a dedicated delete key. Don't see why Apple couldn't add one.

Because having a user-replaceable battery is much more convenient?

I don't think "we" knew that.

Problem: That GPU wasn't particularly desirable even back in 2013. Just because you can put in a needlessly expensive "workstation class" GPU doesn't mean it's worth it.

That sounds like an issue of transmission capacity and redundancy, not energy production.

It's more expensive to get the subscription even if you do upgrade regularly. And I don't think most people buy the latest version of Office with every release. And what "monthly improvements" are even needed? Office see

The problem with this is: Office is pretty much feature complete for most uses, people don't need regular updates to their word processor. Microsoft has even removed quite a few features since the Office 97 days. Retail Office gets upd

Well, MS removed quite a few ridiculous features from the Office 97 days. Like auto summary or Cliparts.

I don't think you understand the term "popular vote". In a popular vote system, every vote is of equal worth, no matter where you live.

But that's the same pretty much everywhere. The Austrian Railjet Vienna - Salzburg, for example, isn't subsidized at all, but still much cheaper than DB. Or check out the prices of the Austrian operator "Westbahn". They

Doesn't everyone know this? It's still a useful gauge to have.

We're beyond the point of "sometimes". And I don't think anyone is advocating copying the Italien governmental system?

by jmanderley 10y ago
To the contrary, it would decrease lobbying influence. And every vote should be equal. One man one vote. Not a sideways move in any way.

Does "stability" mean "constantly gridlocked"?

As opposed to now, where they only visit places in a handful of states. Getting rid of the EC would mean that candidates have to pander to voting blocs more. This would likely empower the rural population.

This makes zero sense. The way the electoral college works means a handful of states dominate all others. The electoral college is useless in preserving "liberty"

Do you get all your tech knowledge from marketing material? And what is specific to Apple about wide color gamut displays? These types of displays have been common for years. Apple didn't invent 5k screens.

by jmanderley 10y ago
This is only half true. Current external 5K displays require two DisplayPort cables.

You should be infuriated about the fact Bush won with a minority of the popular vote (the electoral system), not the Florida supreme court decision.
