They're welcome to try. I don't mind. But as EFF explains, it's much BETTER to run your own WiFi hotspot as a public service. I'm already paying for the bandwidth, so who cares?

It's part of the battle which will decide whether we will be a friendly, cooperative society or permanent slaves to corporations.

Make your own choice. I already have, and I don't really give a damn which way you go.

In many parts of the world taxis are private vehicles with a sign stuck on top, drivers hold their own licenses and companies act as advertising agencies and dispatchers. A recent trend is for one driver to join a company then keep their car running 24-7 as their buddies illegally act as taxi drivers in shifts, splitting the profits. This is an actual thing. Whether or not it's predominantly immigrants, illegal or otherwise, is another question mind you.

Google has a non-beta release track for something?

Nope that comes up just fine too. Try it for yourself? This list of redacted pages do not appear to have been redacted, every one I try comes up on google search results.

Their convictions in a court of law would be the reason. I'm as against feminist rape culture bullshit as any rational person, but the fact remains that rapists do exist, do go to trial, and do get convicted. I don't stand in their corner.

Even weirder I just googled the name "Eve Carlile" and google turned up the BBC news story just fine - and I'm in Europe.

Watch CSPAN and you'll see just what kind of ridiculous things adults can believe in and support - what kind of serious things they won't.

There are some very nasty pieces of work on that list, rapists and murderers who presumably managed to get a removal order from within prison, but some are just weird, like "The news that lesbian couples in England and Wales who start a family through fertility treatment can now place both their names on the birth certificate has been welcomed by a gay couple with children. Eve Carlile describes the move as "practically really helpful, and ideologically great". "Why would they want that removed?

Mind you others are pretty silly, like the hacker who recorded a rude phone message after being left on hold for too long. Not sure why posterity needs that little tidbit.

... it would be more useful if it could detect "Bad Touch" vs. "Good Touch".
As far as "Force Touch" goes, remember: No means No.

If those are remotely controlled wouldn't it be easier to just jam the signal?

It was a *feature* not a "glitch" and that was/is the problem.

Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning? I think it's pretty neat, and even better it's not costing me a thing. Personally I'd enjoy watching hoverboard races even if they're confined to specialised parks, or even better some kind of hoverboard/gladiators crossover, or football, or whatever. Let's strap these things to boots and take basketball and hockey to the next level.

The "Founding Father" - geesh. A bunch of unelected lawyers setting up a Democracy. Scalia would be soooo pissed. :-)

And if they and/or their supporters actually believe anyone could get 3/4 of the states and a super-majority of the Senate to pass such an amendment, then they're: (a) really drunk, (b) really high, (c) really stupid, (d) all of the above.

Do Republicans even care -- at all -- about anyone who's not: rich, white, old, and heterosexual?
[Hint: They don't and if you're not in all those groups and support them, you're an idiot - just my $0.02.]
