End to end encryption is vital for security and should absolutely remain legal, but that doesn't mean there isn't space in the market for services with backdoors that collaborate with law enforcement. If I had a kid I'd be mo

You think he's not busy? There are simply more pressing matters. The clogged up ports, the trucking shortage, the fact that everything is understaffed due to omicron. Not to mention administering hundreds of billions in new grants for

Yeah, that's just not true. I'd say it's at least somewhat true of the past 300 years or so, but for most of the history of civilization, economic growth was negligible and generally not an important consideration for governm

That is why it must be handled by the legislature (though good luck with the worthless good-for-nothings in the Texas legislature). Realistically, you'd probably want to limit liability for veterinarians and pet product manufacturers t

IMO, this is a problem inherent to electoralism. The types of leaders that are best at winning elections tend not to be very good at actually leading. That is why we need to start gradually moving away from this outmodded version of pseudo-

The right to repair movement is gaining steam. Even if regulations don't get passed, consumers are sick of being ripped off by planned obsolescence and gouged for first party repairs.

It doesn't have a singular corporate philosophy. MS has long had a reputation for inter-department rivalry and even animosity. From what I understand, things have gotten somewhat better, but there's still a lot of tension and disa

Debasing a currency is not necessarily a bad thing so long as inflation rates are kept under control. Sometimes it is necessary to print more money. I'm moderately pro-crypto myself, but I generally trust the Federal Reserve to do a go

It's antithetical to the very idea of culture. Humans have been modifying and retelling stories since before the dawn of civilization. Imo, it's profoundly immoral for the state to restrict ownership of culture to its creator for

I see there is no final weight yet. With an i7 you need decent cooling and larger batteries, which adds more weight. This thing looks like it has the potential to be really cool, but if it's so heavy that it causes neck pain, it's
