    I think it would be reasonable for the typical person to believe that when you click a button labeled "buy", you are buying the item, not renting it. Don't defend theft/fraud based…

    No one in law enforcement is trying to help you. That's not what it's for.

    This is true in the same sense you don't need to own a pair of shoes. Technically, sure, but there are jobs that require you to have a phone (at many different career points too), …

    The feds don't own state IDs in the US, at least.

    And arresting the users solves none of that. Maybe it hides it from casual observers, but if you actually want to help people, treatment programs and assistance, not cops, are what…

    8 years ago I bought a house. My monthly rent was 1300 and mortgage/escrow/repair savings were instead 2000. Rent went up $100-$200 a year. My son is looking for rentals in our sam…

    The issue is not that companies don't have the funds to chase these bugs (which will impact future trust/revenue), it's that they don't want to spend it chasing these bugs. Next qu…

    Not free, but this was one of my favorite things when learning to program. https://everybasic.info/lib/exe/fetch.php/basics/vbdos-3.png Visual Basic for DOS.

    The report includes notes on certain messages having durations set before they would disappear. This indicates intent.

    A broad UBI plan would likely not have every single person's income going up by a known amount, either. Most of the plans I've seen taper off and then become a tax at certain incom…

    I agree with you, and I support archive.org, but let's be clear. The US gov could shut them down tomorrow. Illegally, but that's not stopping them elsewhere right now. So support a…

    Support is looked at as a cost center only. This policy was meant to make people give up, it's literally anti-support.

    Imprisonment is worse, being kicked out of university is also worse, but a company taking your money for a product and then banning you from use of that product without a reasonabl…

    Our town has Installed several crosswalks with flashing lights in common crossing areas away from traffic lights. It feels many times safer.

    Don't misunderstand me, I think it's fine he gets the treatment he needs to resolve his pain. It should have happened without death, is all.

    So responding to you and the parent post both... I have my own thought and also one in response to the "taking a photo" type tasks. I'd like a drop down of some tasks I predefined,…

    I don't disagree IF they make tooling available for reuse. Of course, I'd prefer they do that all along.
