Now THAT is how you summarize.

By manually numbering each item of <ul> instead of simply using <ol>?

test every strut

That is, sort of, an argument for TCP. But UDP is often preferred nonetheless... And increasingly so even for the traditionally TCP-applications, such as file-transfers.

While it is not a vendor's responsibility to control what a buyer does with the acquired product

Anti 2nd-Amendment zealots would disagree.

And, although the above lists mere tort-claims, there are movements afoot towards criminal liabilities for gun-sellers as well. For the Greater Good.

That raises the question, were people really more trustworthy then? Or were women simply not permitted to engage in as much economic activity, and consequently not exposed to as many frauds?

A read of O'Henry (himself a fraudster) or Jack London reveals plenty of fraud in 19th century America — and plenty of males falling victim to it too.

Was there more of it back then than today is harder to say — literature does not allow for quantitative assessments...

There, fixed the title for you. You didn't really think, it was only the Military, that wastes money — or that satellite communications is the only sinkhole?

"I'm not stupid, but I was totally naïve," says Cook, now 76, who was swept off her feet by a man who called himself Kelvin Wells [...] In all, she sent him nearly $300,000

Much as hate to appear victim-blaming, even an utter polyanna-style naïvette would've ended at $3,000. Beyond that, it is stupidity.

"He" (and am not at all sure, there is an identifiable "he" to this scam — more likely a work of an enterprise) is a crook and should be hung alive by his rib on a rusty hook. But, boy, the lady is stupid...

What we have is a mystery.

Yeah...

I read an explanation, that the reason for the observed absence of craters is that the (dwarf) planet remains active — like Earth and unlike Moon, for example.

And that means, it may be possible to burrow deep enough into it and stay comfortably warm. Would not that be nice?

In that sense, nothing is "perfectly legal" in the Statist nightmare we deteriorated to over 200 years.

use of a solenoid trigger would class the device as an automatic weapon under ATF rules

What's ATF? A bunch of busybodies seeking to control our use of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms — all perfectly legal things. Dissolution of that agency is long overdue — it should never have been created in the first place...

The idea of promoting unstable work arrangements

Ah, so government is the fount of stability, good to know!

Promoting it as "flexibility" with a Potemkin Village

Throwing around terms like "Potemkin Village" without knowing their meaning reveals utter ignorance.

Perhaps you might want to read up on your historical friend, the company town

Friend or not, I fail to see, how the rise of Uber and Airbnb have anything to do with "company town" reappearing. Quite the opposite, actually.

But that sort of work comes with its own problems, she said. "This 'on demand' or so-called 'gig economy' ... is raising hard questions about workplace protections and what a good job will look like in the future,"

Translation — despite our best efforts, people insist on taking care of themselves. Worse, some of these companies demonstrate, that the kind and benevolent government organizations of the past are obsolete and now block progress.

This deterioration of government's control and can not be permitted. The government's role as the source of benefits must continue to rise and can not be allowed to ebb.

do you truly not know any women in software or gaming who've experienced the kind of awful "boy's only club" attitudes and sometimes downright literal sexual harassment

I do not. I'm willing to believe, the attitudes exist — as do women-only clubs, but I don't see anything particularly wrong (as in "this must be illegal!") with them. Nor do I know a person with a claim of having been persecuted over being a woman supported better, than something I can claim on the basis of being a Ukrainian expatriate.

Such claims are bogus and the laws they are based on — tyrannical. I do not believe, we've become a better country by adopting such laws — they target the symptoms (and do so poorly), while allowing various scammers (both private and governmental) to blackmail innocent employees into various "settlements".

The attempted limits on encryption are of a kind with (unconstitutional) attempts to restrict citizens from keeping and bearing weapons.

The very same loving, caring, and benevolent government, that provides our children with "free" public schools, is also the one with a Federal Department of Education having its own SWAT team.

Other examples abound. You can not claim consistency in your thoughts, if you approve of one, but not the other...
