That's true, but it likely has more to do with pollution from industry and cars and harmful habits like smoking, and less to do with eating baked goods.

I really wish people like you who _are_ billionaires would stop making threats and just do it already. Taking your ball and going home because you can't play nice doesn't work in grade school, and won't work in adult life; bu

The Capitol is a literal building in Washington DC, which is the seat of the United States legislative. Even if it _was_ true that "people were roaming the streets smashing windows" when Trump was elected, no one was storming the

Waze is a mobile phone app that I get access to and maintenance of for free. If manufacturers think they'll get the same reaction from me on a car that I paid $40,000 for, they're in for a nasty surprise.

Yes, Facebook could do that. There's probably many laws in many other countries Facebook operates in that are a lot less reasonable than this one, but I guess if for some reason this was the specific hill they wanted to die on, they wo

The Israeli government has absolutely no say in how any of this plays out, that is the entire point of an independent judiciary. The lawsuit and sanctions are decided by the courts based on existing laws and precedent, and for them Facebook

You're either a troll, or _really_ confused about what Socialism is. I know this isn't the spirit of comments HN encourages, but I really can't afford to waste the time on writing a thoughtful reply to someone who is, most li

You can't land/takeoff an aircraft from public roads, for obvious reasons, but it's perfectly legal to do so to/from suitable open terrain, which in the case of light aircraft isn't hard to find. So while you'r

AFAIK a VFR flight requires neither filing a flight plan nor talking to ATC, and I doubt this thing is going to get much IFR time.

_Commercial aviation_ has a stellar safety record. The safety record for private and general aviation flying is pretty atrocious, and non-airline commercial operations (part 91, part 135) have varying levels of safety somewhere in between.

If jailbreaking could be done the same way I can unlock the bootloader for my Android device, you would have a point. Unfortunately it requires using security exploits, which Apple is doing its best to plug.

No, because "ducted fan" has a very specific meaning in aerodynamics. But yes, a bladeless electric fan isn't actually bladeless, the blades are just hidden inside the fan body. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

I think you're confused. The historic part isn't the postponement (not even cancellation) of the annexation plan, but the official signed peace treaty between Israel and the UAE. That's objectively historic, whether or not yo

Officially, the annexation is not off the table, just postponed. Practically, it doesn't look like annexation was ever realistically on the table to begin with. It's much more likely just a campaign slogan Netanyahu leaned on to w

Technically Palestine is split between Fatah/PLO in the West Bank, and Hamas in the Gaza strip. The two don't see eye-to-eye on a great many issues, although it's a pretty safe bet this is not one of them.

Your comparisons are patently ridiculous. Jews were persecuted for personal beliefs that hurt no one and affected none but themselves; this is very much not the case for Brendan Eich, whose views and actions were explicitly intended to take

In addition to everything pseudalopex said below, which I agree with 100%, I'll just add that, yes, some things absolutely are and should be black-and-white, my-way-or-the-highway. Particularly, issues of human- and civil-rights. The o

Brendan Eich was in no way destroyed, and it certainly wasn't over speech. The anger against Eich was because of _actions_, specific and concrete, the entire purpose of which was to deny people like you basic civil rights.

I see no misinterpretation of the GPL here. The document explains why the FG team thinks FGMEMBERS is harmful and a bad idea; at no point that I can see did they imply what FGMEMBERS are doing was illegal. Care to elaborate?
