Connecting the dots, if Airpods are successful in adoption, this could answer the awkward "You'd look silly holding a watch up to your ear" argument, same with "It's inconvenient t…

IANAL, and I'm reading between the (redacted) lines. Did anyone get the sense that Uber's lawyers line of questioning was leading towards the possibility that Alphabet let this the…

Not trying to throw salt in the argument for democracy, but isn't your argument the digital equivalent of "Why doesn't everyone do everything for themselves to overthrow the depend…

Is the argument here that if "net neutrality" goes away, carriers will provide service to "poor, rural area" because they are able to serve their content better than the generally …

I'm very new to the single-payer idea, but Vermont rates 49th for population in the US, California ranks 1st. I thought one of the strengths of a single-payer system was to leverag…

Not trying to start a capitalism war, but would an Earned Income Tax Credit be a more viable alternative to higher minimum wages? I've not done the leg work, but the IRS has a lot …

Late 20's(mid 1990's as a kid) here in Northeast US. I had the same experience growing up, days when it was nice outside, we were expected to not stay in and watch TV, so we would …

Fair point, my misinterpretation.

If this is an attempt by the UAE to prevent TOR connections via DPI, who would the primary target(s) be? I recognize that's an awkward question to ask of an anonymized service like…

The title isn't misleading, "the estimated number of directly-connecting clients" is what is meant by "users". I'm not very familiar with TOR, but does this reaffirm what OP is ask…

> Helping people feel safe should be the #1 priority of every effort to help someone with substance abuse problems. Exactly this thought. I've helped a lot of kids over the year th…

Not OP, but he's not saying Elon doesn't deserve credit, he's just saying he doesn't deserve all the credit. The quote makes it sounds like Elon himself build everything alone, rat…

Right? I was wondering if it would be possible to build something to guess what these redacted lines(at least for the not-8-page-part) say. Since they redact mid-sentence, could yo…

Any idea of what the cost to, say, buy up all the case laws would be? And what is the law on republishing said copies?
