Did the founders follow the process in breaking away from England? There was no process that would work for that, so no.
Did the founders foresee that we might have to have a revolution every few generations? Yep, some of them wrote about it explicitly.
Keep blaming victims, it will cause change ANY DAY NOW
Slashdot ID is correlated solely with account creation time.
We've all known dumb old people, right?
"Apple has some of the best hardware you can buy."
As measured how?
Union can't protect workers who don't follow safety standards. That tells us that nobody was checking up to make sure they did because it might affect the bottom line, which in turn tells us it was management's fault and had nothing at all to do with any unions.
We already knew this because of all the cost cutting crap Boing has done over the years. Notably, they shifted a lot of production to contractors on whom they never checked up.
The challenge and verdict were based on freedom of speech, not interstate commerce.
I didn't say anything was "okay", what I Said was that it's legal.
Work on your reading comprehension, it is important when you want to communicate with text.
Tablets can have keyboards attached, apple even sells official keyboards for the ipad. Typing on these is no more difficult than a laptop keyboard.
A tablet with its official keyboard sold separately tends to be more expensive than an entry-level laptop.
Studying computer science is the very definition of a niche for geeks.
Several American public schools are experimenting with making the introduction to computer science course a requirement for high school graduation. (See "Should High Schools Require a CS Course Before Students Graduate?" from July 2023.) If the operating system of a tablet is inadequate for a student to complete a course required for graduation, that makes the tablet less valuable to a high school student.
"forbidding it to everybody is clearly not a matter of national security. If it was, they would forbid ALL actors (e.g. facebook, google etc...) to gather data and sell it to everybody which, they do."
All national social media services are known to be part of PRISM. They are literally part of the panopticon. Therefore they are essentially defense contractors. What they sell and to whom is probably under a lot more scrutiny than you think. Anyone buying that data and trusting it to be accurate is as dumb as those who believe that Facebook targets their advertising accurately. That is to say, spectacularly.
It doesn't have to say it anywhere in practice. What matters is what has been done historically, we call that precedent.
The precedent is for the 1A to apply to humans everywhere, but only to US corporations.
There is ample precedent for doing basically anything in the name of national security as well, so good luck with your argument. Normally you're not even allowed to know about it (See: National Security Letters - wait, you don't GET to see those...)
Regardless of whether TikTok sells their American subsidiary or not, the bill will prevent Americans from accessing a site on the Internet where they currently exercise their right to free speech. It's not TikTok's right to freedom of speech, it's American posters.
A Montana judge already ruled that Montana's TikTok ban was unconstitutional on freedom of speech grounds.
A sudden abundance of caution?
FIRE those developers. Out they go. Here's your box and get the polka-dotted fuck OUT!
Can't be retrained. Can't be re-assigned. Only put them through six interviews. Gonna cost 200% of their salary to find a replacement but there's nothing better than oiling up and mmmmmmmmmmm look at them honey-dripping layoffs.
China love you long time. Eat shit.
You'd have a lot more credibility if you hadn't destroyed your company pursuing the opposite strategy.
You fired the guy who saved Marvel from being broken up 25 years ago, you asshole.
You are not qualified to manage the Walt Disney Company. Resign.
Work continues in this area. -- DEC's SPR-Answering-Automaton
