Crazy that the Verge doesn't do enough fact checking when writing their articles that they thought Jacob Blake was dead. It was common knowledge at the time the article was written that he wasn't dead.

Just seems like anecdotal data to me - not sure why this needs to be a post. The world is in turmoil right now - I think we can put expedient immigration on hold while the USA figures out what exactly it wants to do.

I'd be okay with the order if the trains were specifically routed away from densely populated areas - similar to how nuclear waste products are transported AFAIK.

What a short article... When they mention the large drop in ventilator usage - isn't that because after a month or two, medical experts said it probably does nothing or even could harm the patient if you put them on ventilators?

I disagree... It's the same thing as saying "the n word" to me. You're still telling someone the word and it shouldn't matter in this instance, because they're reporting on what was said, written, or done. Cont

It's like sticking your foot in the door on the small level, except translating it to the big picture, where spending a paltry few million on a custom iPod could lead to billion dollar contracts in the long-term.

I would like to see a source for that if you could provide one :) If I was working full-time and could live comfortably off that plus extra UBI, I think the majority of people would spend it on more luxurious goods (phones, laptops, drugs,

I'm not an expert (so I might be wrong here question-wise), but it seems to me that using the same type of encryption "key" to lock down firmware on various devices sounds like a very ill-advised way to do things. It seems li

I have ADHD (and chronic sleep issues) that were undiagnosed until I was in my early 20's. With a less than stellar childhood under my belt with an abusive, narcissistic father and enabling mother, I ended up being a social recluse and

The points you're making have been known issues of freedom of speech since the drafting of the constitution. I think American society as a whole understands this, and is willing to make these sacrifices because otherwise you open yours

How would you suggest we limit the surveillance and active attacks on American infrastructure by the Chinese government? They show no signs of letting up and/or respecting how America works in the slightest.

One could say your data is your property, so you could say it's not a human right, but a property or legal right.

I've also seen scummy tactics like changing the headline to be less "clickbaity" some timeframe after the article is released. Then there's also the disgusting tactic from news companies on social media like Twitter wher

I wonder if it would be enough to have global moderators create "issues" like: - Do you like Havarti or Cheddar? - Do you support using metric or imperial as a standard in the USA? - Do you ... ... ... Have the users fill out thes

Probably because the physics wasn't well understood at the time. California probably isn't the best place to put a nuclear plant anyways, with all the earthquakes.

I know it's a bit of a aside, but somewhat related: I wonder if the lightening of regulations has something to do with China starting to gain a foothold in the African markets. I wonder if the next first-world war will be fought in Afr

So in other words, Germany (with some the most serious "green tech" laws) is basically forcing France to shut down their plant, even though it's been operating mostly fine and has been actually helping fight climate change fo

Microsoft recently renamed a majority of their products yet again because if it wasn't confusing enough already, it's even more confusing now! "Microsoft 365" now includes all of Windows 10, Office 365 (Office on PC) and

Cisco had their Meraki MDM free for small numbers of devices - but that was a while ago and I'm not sure if they still offer it. Was only compatible with I believe Samsung phones as they had the best hardware security built in (KNOX?).
