Talking about why it is happening is helpful. I’m just surprised nobody is talking about the reason the government claims it has limited access to information: preventing disinformation. Not a single person here has commented about disinf

It depends on what you mean by “like this.” The usefulness of a theoretical app that might be able to stop high-power exploits isn’t being debated. The claim I’m objecting to is that everybody should be running (available) antivirus sof

I just looked, and your claim is very misleading. Sure, “AVG Mobile Security” is available, but nobody needs it, and it isn’t anything like antivirus software on a computer. It provides... a photo vault, a VPN, and “identity protection.

“raw sewage loading” is, I believe, an example of an organic carbon input that should be reduced. In other words, stop letting raw sewage out into rivers. We’ve been working on that for decades.

Wut? You can’t run ClamAV on iPhone, can you?

That should have been a huge scandal. I hope it doesn’t happen again, ever. Why do you think it will happen again, soon?

Toyota trucks are very popular. And big. I’m not sure what your point is.

Are you telling me that the top three best-selling vehicles in the country are all pickup trucks, but people actually want small sedans?

He claims the expert estimates have been wrong every year (too conservative).

Birthrate has declined dramatically, and even if it hadn’t, we wouldn’t have had enough babies to increase intelligence that much that quickly. The only way to increase the amount of intelligence on earth is by having children.

"The last tolls were collected on 31 December 2005.” Let that sink in. They paid for the project and then stopped taking everybody’s money. That was the plan in Chicago, too...

I used to work on breaks, but then I realized I was more productive when I actually stopped and walked around a bit.

My argument is that we have been lax with the separation of powers. Congress is required to declare war before the President can direct the armed forces into combat, for example. This has failed recently. Congress also must not declare a pe

Who is pretending otherwise? Also, when those executors of the law are determined to be the sole arbiters of what the law means without any appeal or restraint, then the “they are experts” ideal has been mistaken for reality. Imagine if the

The whole point of courts is to be the place of judgment as to whether a law is actually being violated or not. Let’s try it like this: “If Congress doesn’t like how police implement the law they are free to pass laws to clarify their int

Congress already decides how much to spend and on what weapons systems for the various branches of the military. Meanwhile, you need to brush up on your civics knowledge. The authority to command the armed forces is directly under the exe

Nevertheless, the constitution does forbid this, and the decision is correct.

by jtbayly 2y ago
I assume so, as they should, since the constitution forbids it. This was the whole point of the separation of powers. If Congress thinks they shouldn’t have to do the work of legislation, then they can all quit and we can elect people who a

Perhaps you don’t use it, but it is built into the OS and I bet a lot more people use it than you suspect. I find it quite useful all the time. Did you know it works many places, not just the Finder, including places where there is no pre

Then don’t visit dozens of sleazy sites if you don’t want them all knowing about your porn habit. Or better yet, end your porn habit.

It doesn’t matter. The account was marked with an age. IG pushed sexual content to it. You can add as much other information to the picture as you want, but that’s the black and white issue. Besides, how often do 13yo’s have their own wifi

But the number of account takeovers is not necessarily high enough to destroy the business model, is it?

I think this is the first clear correlation I’ve seen between microplastics and any health issues. I’ve seen lots of guesses and assumptions about how they must be bad for us, but I’ve not seen anything like this. And of course, this is jus

That’s interesting. The thing is, the Baffler continues to create new words and ideas, and I pay for those new words and ideas every month if I subscribe. No new words or ideas show up next month on your software, so why should I keep payin

I have had kids thump loudly onto the floor falling out of bed in another room with the doors closed. Loud enough that it woke me up. But they didn’t wake up. I check on them, and they are sound asleep on the floor.
