Heck, I live in the burbs and do Costco delivery all the time. I dont want to carry them either :-)

But, this decision didn't take those powers from Congress. It took those powers from federal agencies. Congress empowers the agencies, yes. But, Congress also deferred any technica…

Today it is. While not the existential threat to the US that communism/China are or perceived to be, Japan was very much a threat to the US in the 80s/90s. All kinds of concerns no…

I understand and generally agree with your sentiment but people are safer. Violent crime is down substantially since 2001 and even more since 1990s. https://www.statista.com/statis…

Off the top of my head.... -How was the labor sourced for those services? -Child Labor, illegal immigrant labor? -What are the working conditions for the labor?, is it sweatshop -w…

You can look at it like this... They jury was concerned about the speech by the think tank. They don't want anyone else to have to suffer through it. The plaintiff though didn't ha…

So, I think you are correct. The jury messed up, wasn't explained to properly, etc. There are thresholds on how much punitive damages can be awarded and they are some multiple of t…

They can be fired but if so the school is still on the hook for paying out the rest of their contract....so, maybe easy to do but painful financially. Football coach but the same p…

And it's not like it hasnt been known for a long time how dangerous silica can be. I worked in a chemical manufacturing plant as an engineering intern in the 80s, at a plant that m…

I am only half serious about that....should have pointed that out. Interesting links though. Correct that not everyone with income is required to file, though they should. I did no…

I am curious what you think could happen. I did a lot of looking after all the allegations and all the lawsuits. It is remarkably secure today, all the lawsuis that have been filed…

There is a lot of things wrong with this but I have said that in order to get your tax refund you have to show proof you registered to vote. I'd like to say proof that you voted bu…

One of the interesting by products of all of this is that elections are getting less secure instead of more secure. After all these allegations came out and if you dug into how ele…

I have the same issue and just now found it was because of Private Relay. I did not connect the fact that I had no issues accessing archive.is when I had a VPN on - which disables …

Ohhhh, now that is interesting. I think I'd say you don't have an expectation of privacy when you park your car on a public street, people can look into the windows and if they are…

It has been a bit but I believe you can log in to Music and Messages with a separate appleid. I believe you have to login to the app store though with the ID assigned to the machin…

thanks, could not remember it and my google fu was poor trying to look for it :-)

There is some statistical thing about fraud and the frequency of certain numbers being made up. I don't recall it specifically but made up amounts, dates, number have certain clust…

Not the poster you asked. But, a lesson we continue to ignore is that there are other options to tame inflation besides raising interest rates. The problem is the option isn’t poli…

The issue is under what authority does the government have to put such a ban in place. There isn't one today. The article discusses some attempts to work around that issue, all of …

Not so fast....In Illinois anyway. You cannot do any of that without consent if you use that data for any commercial purpose. https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=…

Yes, it is an ad. The only distinction is the boosted "ad" starts life as an organic post instead of a created ad. Yes, Apple modified the status quo...they didn't enforce this for…

I agree about the over reach part. I am not an Apple apologist at all and agree with others that when device growth stalls (it will) and then services growth stalls (it will) Apple…

Not just Safari but all web browsers on iOS, they all have to be webkit...all are handicapped to push users to apps from the app store.
