People are eyeing the salaries they can get with that education. I can see plenty of people willing to swallow that cost in exchange for not having the government tying an anchor around their legs.

That would also create more incentives to simply do one's education south of the border, rather than risk being shackled by government efforts to halt one's movement.

By "shady government", does this not include the UK government itself at this point? And we don't yet know which other governments will be represented, but we can apparently expect around 60, as per the article. That's a

So what happens if a ban occurs, and it is inevitably discovered (via future Snowden-type leak, or whatever) that [government agency] ignored it all along? Nothing, as usual? Will legislatures once again retroactively protect those who viol

It is unfortunate to see the jump from 16 GB to 32 GB of ram cost so much. I realize this isn't anything new for Apple, but I would have hoped for the base 16-inch model to have 32 GB at this point.

The US couldn't even stop its own intelligence services from breaking the law with regard to spying on citizens. Do people expect it can or will enforce this on private companies? I'd expect such measures to be equally toothless.
