What if the social pressure, is in part, a result of the better experience one gets with iMessage? Photos, videos, group messaging are all a significantly better experience with iMessage in my experience. This is not to say that other apps

There is some truth to this, yet after spending time with Android from first release to 2014. Spending the last 9 years with iPhone/iOS. I've yet to encounter as many issues as I did with Android phones. The dialer crashing, the l

None of our bought/sponsored politicians want to create laws enshrining right-to-repair and availability/access to repair and activation tools. This is political theater, in coordination with a large company. "Look we're

"Right to repair" isn't all about demanding modular parts, in most cases right-to-repair proponents aren't even asking the manufacturer to sell them parts. Right-to-repair advocates want the "option" to repair

Where are your sources? “This is FUD” without doing any basic research or consideration or PAC/lobbying efforts is just as poor a response.

It has to scale to the population and functions that it serves. I’m not saying the current form(s) of government are doing it right or that they should be as big as they are. I don’t appreciate the simplistic rallying cry of “small governme

Then let’s fight corruption, let’s fight to spend those budgets on educating our populace and having amazing public services. Let’s stop dithering about taxes and create a system of government that punishes corruption and is policed by a wh

I'm fine subsidizing education of any form, as long as what I'm subsidizing meets all the same standards and burdens that the public option does for the same amount of funding. The idea that they can charge a tuition greater than

I think you may have missed that Florida passed a school choice act, and that tons of funds are now flowing into private religious schools. A ridiculous waste of money, especially considering a majority of said schools raised their tuition

I think all economic and political systems have pros and cons. They all are subject to corruption and greed as well. The problem isn’t capitalism alone, but corruption and greed as well. We’ve reached the point where those at the top are bl

Agreed! I believe price gouging is behind most of the inflation we’ve encountered the last couple years. Companies reduced the workforce, forced the remaining employees to maintain the same amount of production and increased prices. They th

Because this method of judging inflation by using “equivalent” substitutes completely ignores the change in quality of life. Real inflation is what happens when my behavior doesn’t change at all, but my costs increase. If I keep making adju

We try to only shop BOGOs at Publix, but I was trying to pick one of my children’s favorite foods, something we always purchase, as an example. There are many other examples though, goldfish crackers, nacho chips, tortillas, ground beef. Al

Since the beginning of 2020, yes. Even the delayed statistics appear to support my anecdotal evidence. However, thanks to Publix sending receipts to my email account I can provide a more concrete example. Kellogg’s Fruit Loops “Family Size”

This can’t be a real, thought out, response. I’m living in Florida. I will agree with you that rent-seeking and increasingly abusive landlords are a huge problem here. However, the largest drivers of pricing out retirees in my anecdotal obs

This just reminds me of what originally got me into PHP as a teenager. Creating a site for our gaming community in PHP-Nuke was all too easy. Extending it with plugins, and eventually writing my own plugins to show live data from our game s

This is great, and I'm glad for the PHP developers out there. But if I go job hunting, it's not PHP skills that offer the highest earning potential. At least not that I've encountered. How much revenue generation occurs on PH

You hit the nail on the head with OS upgrades and longevity. Android consistently found a way to stop offering me OS updates. Whether it was the manufacturer, or the phone carrier, I would by a flagship phone and within 2 years stop receivi

We need to stop electing people into office who are a generation behind the rest of the world. In the US we’re (re-)electing octogenarians. In the EU it seems the average lawmaker is 10-15 years older than the average citizen. Experience is
