There seems to be a large issue with Tahoe styling, it seems fine to me. This article seems like someone has nothing else to focus on. If you don’t like the styling, switch OS?

should this same logic apply to someone like say, Hitler? if you hide behind the “sovereign nation” (while denying the US the same) then you can justify all sorts of atrocities.

this is why people carry guns in america

I thought these were for mass shootings

They are for BOTH.

Only if you’re insane.

Maybe we should let people learn that actions have consequences. The kind and uplifting are seldom shot.

Take Isabelle Robinson from parkland. Paraphrasing: "It's not my responsibility to "befriend" a person who is showing violent red flags; it’s the school’s job to intervene and provide professional help or remove the threat." So she did notice the red flags, but didn't do anything, she believe the school should do something not her. The failure in this line of reasoning is that every institution is made up of individuals, if they all think the same way nothing will change.

This is literally a school shooting victim saying she doesn't believe that she should personally have to pay... well she didn't have to pay as much as some of her classmates.

The school of will find their own people to blame.

Pretty much every major religion teaches something like: If they slap one cheek show them the other, and that we are all one.

Nevertheless, very few people will take any amount of responsibility for another "individuals" actions. The logical conclusion is that we sit in silod VR pods until the life support systems fail

I think no americans are afraid of venezuela, so what could possibly come that we don’t want? you think venezuela can stand toe-to-toe in a full scale military engagement? you see how we just walked into their country, took the president, and his wife, and walked out without issue? have you seen how many venezuelans are celebrating?

Have you learned absolutely nothing from 9/11?

Considering I was in a war over 9/11? Venezuela still seems like a a sunday walk.

if you were in a war over 9/11 which we lost just like we lose them all other potential wars should concern you

I think you and your parent think that people have more of a concern of others than actual reality. Most americans walk past homeless people and think nothing of it. Most americans, and certainly those in wealthy cities, care about others at a superficial level. For instance you and your parent complain, and that’s where it ends. You will not sacrifice yourself or your life for others, asking others to is just negligent.

This is hardly a uniquely American problem. People have been writing about treating the poor better for millennia.

>You will not sacrifice yourself or your life for others, asking others to is just negligent.

I'm asking about 218 elected representatives and 67 senators to do their job. This isn't a matter of "we (the people) need to start a civil war to show our disdain for these actions". At least, not yet. There's so many channels to address this that doesn't involve "sacrificing ourselves", but the channels are at best clogged and at worst compliant, despite what they were voted to do.

You and those politicians understand their job descriptions very differently.

Because you don't know what you're getting yourself into with a stranger, and most people aren't social workers or drug counselors with experience helping the homeless.

thats nonsense. I hang out with the homeless all the time. some of them are really just mentally ill, some are real shitheads, but there are alot of perfectly normal people out there that are just reacting to daily trauma. if can live through not having a place to sleep where you dont have to worry about getting fucked up or raped, and having your shit jacked by the police and other homeless all the time, and still keep some semblance of sanity, then you're a stronger person than I.

I don't understand why your comment is phrased as if it contradicts me?

which other company spends as much investing in UX? there is not a single other company on the planet with as polished of a user experience as apple, so who would develop a better workflow?

It removes incentives to differentiate a platform because the EU will just come in and make every company exactly the same by forcing others to allow other companies access to their R&D budgets. Why bother? It’s easier to just avoid the EU market

> In the iOS market, apple have a monopoly.

So if a company creates a widget and sells that widget, thereby creating a market, they are automatically a monopoly? how is anything invented without creating a monopoly?

Also why is it an iOS market and not a mobile phone market? if we compare features of devices then there’s not a lot of difference between modern phones, so segregating them by what OS they run seems odd.

Pharmaceuticals have very large margins.

Most people also complain about how pharmaceuticals are greedy corporations that seek to exploit monopoly status for profits above human health. Hardly a good example of a well functioning market.

Complaining doesn’t mean action. To affect prices people need to vote with their wallet, and they won’t do that when their life is on the line.

Or to put it another way, find an alternative.

I think the EU believes they have more of an effect on the rest of the world than they actually do. Complying with every law in every jurisdiction that has access to a product sounds like a nightmare that will only stifle innovation.

Between this and the USB-C iPhone, I think you're very wrong.

Mmkay, now do something important. If the EUs fame is forced USB-C adoption, that’s very weak and almost narcissistic since we have to congratulate the EU for minimal effort. Also realize the USB-C standard is chaos and all that did was confuse people about what’s a data cable vs what’s a charging cable vs what is thunderbolt. Chaos is what the EU did there, brag more about it!
