Some of your arguments keep getting repeated in these kinds of debates but they never make much sense. Mobile phones are cheap. You can get one for $150 which is about a week's worth of groceries and you only need to buy one every 2-4 years. The ownership of one has absolutely nothing to do with how well off somebody is, and how safe they are from hardship. It's not like if you get cancer you can sell off your mobile phone to pay for treatment.

And while 24% of American households might have three or more cars in their possession, I very much doubt that they own them.

If a married couple has a shared account, and upon knowing that a divorce is incoming, the husband starts spending the money like a madman in order to have less to distribute on day x, then what do you think should a judge be doing?

And even today, with all the gender equality progress we've made in the last decades, it's still not unusual if it's the man who continues his career after marriage, and the woman is the one who puts hers on hold in order to take care of the kids. After divorce, she's the one that has to deal with a huge gap on the CV while the husband is just fine.

I got banned from those anti-misinformation subreddits for posting that the AZ vaccine sucks. In a context that makes it very clear we were talking relative to mRNA vaccines.

This absolutely isnâ(TM)t just about the horse paste eaters and bleach injectors but about a very strict enforcement of authority regarding any Covid opinion that doesnâ(TM)t match their orthodoxy.

They want to collect money from Indian advertisers so they have to have a local office. They could of course go non-profit and ignore Indian laws but fat chance of that happening.

If your power generation capacity is below consumption, you have to shed load. You can either do that catastrophically by waiting until failsafes trigger and eventually knock out your entire grid, by cutting off entire districts at once (preferably ones with people that can't afford political connections), or by lowering average energy consumption over the entire population.

The last method is the least invasive one.

Sure, they should've fixed their situation earlier by integrating the grid with neighbors, investing more in crisis management and lowering energy usage. But that's all Captain Hindsight stuff that - while it should still be done now in order to fight the next crisis - is completely irrelevant to the current one.

It used to be significantly different from like 1930 to 1990 which is what most people think about.

Not all that hard but expensive because youâd need a million jammers and would also block that frequency for your own use.

Much easier to instead drive along a road with a detector truck and if you see signals coming out of a house you search it and throw the people there in jail for possession of illegal telecoms equipment.

If you fire two people that had a nominally independant auditor role within three months that's usually a pretty big warning sign. That needs to be followed up with an clear commitment to the original goal, or everybody knows that there's something fishy going on.

And it's not like you can actually get clear evidence here from anybody. Even the two people were fired becaue Google was literally planning to run an AI controlled baby grinding machine they wouldn't be able to make that public due to NDAs.

The bigger issue is that there was remote access without MFA

Sometimes they even go for a drive together!

Its not just the look and feel. They have to replace the backend of the UI too.

Windows 7s WinForms based UI reacted to every click within like 100 milliseconds. Meanwhile Windows 10s UWP UI reacts like youre browsing a website hosted on a raspberry pi in Pakistan.

They cant just reskin the UI to look as before.

The state of California decided that carry permits should be rare, so that's the law until overturned. If Apple doesn't like that, they can lobby for a change of laws for everybody instead of dropping cash in someone's pockets to themselves an exception through the back door.

Also, if you normalize paying bribes, you encourage authorities to find ways to fish for more. When police departments find out that corporate security offices are suckers for dropping a million bucks off the books for a permit, and such behavior isn't punished, they'd make permits artificially scarce.

This is such an American opinion :)

You look at somebody that maybe barely makes the cut from being obese and can barely shuffle down a 10 degree ramp and say that hes in good health...

Anywhere else, 74 year olds in good health are defined as those that still climb mountains, ski down black slopes, and swim a kilometer every Sunday morning.

Windows kind of does. If you use Restricted Groups to set the administrator groups you can manually add someone to administrators and theyre automatically removed 15 minutes later on the GPO refresh.
