I don’t know that Ukraine could have done this well in 2014, even with help. They had 8 years to prepare for the next round that they knew was coming.

No, it really doesn’t. I expect Obama, W, and Biden were all kind people.

Either way, it certainly wasn’t a Democratic administration pushing for them to be unbanned.

I feel betrayed that a democrat administration pushed to repeal that ban.

I guess you can feel a little less betrayed.

Today, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled 6-3 under its conservative supermajority that a bump stock attachment does not convert a semiautomatic rifle into a machine gun, which is prohibited under federal law. Under this decision, civilians now have access to bump stocks again.

Well, yes. But I meant for medical purposes, not judicial.

It’s actually really valuable. It can be a great alternative to a tracheotomy.

I don’t know if this is in practice yet, but I’ve heard of it in recent years.

Kessler Syndrome trumps this application of Moore’s Law.

Probably not worth it in the electoral sense, but you know what? I’d rather have a human than a robot calculating the electoral effect of every interaction he has with another person.

This wasn’t strategic. It was just human.

Also it wasn’t a “unity gesture”. It was a funny moment for the people in the room and/or was intended to make the Trump convert more comfortable.

Either way, it was absolutely fine in context. The only concern is how it could be taken out of context, and fuck that. I’m tired of walking a tightrope worrying about what Fox News might say.

If it was a “unity gesture”, it was for that one guy. It wasn’t for the Fox News audience.

Oh no. Are we forever to dance around the next moronic thing they decide to turn into propaganda? I hope you don’t have a cat.

The payment scams aren’t going towards food in any way. The tradeoff you’re suggesting doesn’t exist.

Important government secrets will be strictly separated from personal/civilian devices. The only classified information being transmitted by personal devices is the location and human knowledge of the owners.

He doesn’t. He may serve Russian interests at times, but he’s not a direct report the way Tim Pool and many of our government elected officials are.

I like the idea of Android stealing enough market share that Apple is forced to be more open.

The one that really blew my mind was the Find My network. Android tried to cooperate with Apple, and Apple stalled and dragged it out until Android gave up.

The effect was that Android got “Find My” about a year later than it would have otherwise, and the networks won’t be compatible. But isn’t Find My network compatibility relatively better for Apple? At worst there are places where Android and Apple devices split market share evenly. In most of the world, Android has the larger network/market share. Apple was willing to sacrifice that win to stall Android rolling out a major feature for a year.

legally required to increase the shareholders’ value.

First, this isn’t really true. Corporations are not required to increase shareholder value at any cost. Second, even if it were true, why would you still excuse those actions?

Disagree. I prefer XML for config files where the efficiency of disk size doesn’t matter at all. Layers of XML are much easier to read than layers of Json. Json is generally better where efficiency matters.

There are a small number of complications that can arise, including some that require the procedure to be done later. Obviously this is more traumatic for a teenager than a baby that doesn’t have modesty issues and heals much, much faster.

But what you do with your kids is up to you. I’m not gonna be there standing over your shoulder.

Oh. I assumed you meant as a baby. I guess this is a rare reason to have this done as a baby.

That’s not a circumcision related thing.
