Back with the original Mac, Jobs wanted it to have zero expandability. The engineers had to sneak it in.

Jobs really popularized it though. The PC thrived on being an open platform, and most systems at least allowed third party apps if it was practical.

Jobs actually didn't invent the smartphone, he made a feature phone. The original iPhone didn't have third party apps, it was similar to other touch screen phones of the era. He resisted allowing third party apps until it became obvious that there was a lot of money to be made.

False choice, those are not the only 2 options.

Capitalism does not actually exist in nature, we made it up. If it's not giving us the outcomes we want then we can change the laws around it and have many, many, many times.

Because they are acting illegally.

That's what the court is for. What do you think an immigration hearing is?

If you think the US the land of free stuff not only do you not know how immigration works but you dont know how the USA works either.

Oh, you're just a 12 year old. "Big wall! Big men! Bad thing always other person!"

How about when schooling was introduced? The population went from largely illiterate to largely literate. More books were written, more books were bought.

No, it didn't. Requiring accounts did. The posting delay is shorter on mobile and so it's largely irrelevant, and also bots don't care how long they have to wait to submit a form.

Women tend to experience greater levels of poverty though, so I'm not sure you can say that men get more stress due to earning. On average, obviously.

Maybe women are just better at admitting that their relationships have reached an end, and dissolving them. Maybe them being less likely to have children provides less incentive for them to stay together.

Marriage for life is mostly a religious concept, it's not necessarily the best or healthiest or ideal model for human relationships.

The delivery robots I've seen and the ones in TFA seem like they wouldn't do as much damage as a cyclist at low speeds. Aside from the low speed, they are blunter than a narrow wheel or handlebar, so the impact is spread over a wider area. They should have plenty of sensors to avoid that though. The main improvement I'd make is to have the wheels enclosed, rather than open.

Swyer Syndrome is a specific result of these kinds of chromosome issues. It's not the totality of them. It's not hard to imagine that if someone can have different parts of their reproductive system develop different sex characteristics, that it's also possible for the brain to develop different sex characteristics to the rest of the body too.

I'm not sure where you get "several percent" from, most estimates are under 1%. Even if this is similar to the number of gay and lesbian people, or the number of left handed people, in that it recovers to the natural level once social pressure is removed, several percent seems like a very high estimate.

Even then though, Safari was crippled to limit what web apps could do.

Gender dysphoria, to give it the medical name, is not a mental illness. It was originally classified as one by some medical organizations, the same as homosexuality was. That was a mistake, in both cases.

As for the arbitrary test of if they can give birth, which many cisgender women would fail, we are not far off being able to do a womb transplant. It will never be enough, of course, because this isn't a discussion about science.

That's not biology.

For a start, your entire body doesn't have to be strictly male or strictly female. One cause of infertility is that key parts of the reproductive system do not match the sex of the other parts. Women can have internal, non-functional testes instead of ovaries, for example. It's not hard to understand that if that is possible for reproductive organs, it can be possible for other organs, like the brain.

Some people don't have the same chromosomes in every part of their body. Some women have XY chromosomes, and they can even have children: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fa...

Human gender and sexual development are complex processes, with many variations and subtleties. Biologists tend to think in terms of sexual characteristics, not binary sex. The transgender population includes people with a whole variety of somewhat unusual variations, some not all that well understood, but none the less biological in nature.

No. Just because the police won't investigate doesn't mean it's "legal". The police are still investigating the operations that take these cars and cut them up or ship them abroad. If you have a tracker, they will investigate if you can tell them where the car has been taken.

They are essentially saying that you need to secure your own stuff and pressure the station operator to install CCTV. Otherwise it's just a waste of police time, because they have no leads, and no real prospect of recovering the goods. It sucks but if you are willing to pay for security to hang around checking ownership when people collect their bikes, you should get the station operator to employ some.

Toyota's BEVs have been a bit mediocre. Not terrible but not particularly good either. You would think they could do better with all the experience they have, but it seems like they are mostly just dabbling while they wait for their solid state battery tech to mature.

Many Japanese manufacturers got left behind with EVs. They invested a lot in hybrid tech and want to continue making those for as long as possible. It's not just the big brand names like Toyota, it's the whole supply chain. The guys making clutches and gearboxes are facing a future where those things are no longer needed.

Nissan looks like it is finally releasing some decent updated EVs, but Honda gave up after a strong start and the others are floundering.

If they put in watermarks, people will just use another AI to remove them. A friend did that with his kid's school photos. They sent round watermarked samples with an offer to buy the originals, but AI removed the watermarks perfectly so he didn't pay.

If they block certain faces, people will use another AI to deepfake them into the video.
