Nor is Onion.

Heck, nor was the Space Shuttle, unless you consider killing the crew one time in sixty to be 'human rated'.

You're talking about Britain, where they recently let a man convicted with thirteen life sentences leave jail for a weekend and were surprised that he didn't come back.

When was the last time a shoplifter was jailed in Britain? When was the last time a persistent burglar was banned from the Internet?

It's not self-incrimination in the same way that the intersate commerce clause gives the Federal government the power to regulate absolutlely anything that might have any impact on interstate commerce even if it never leaves your house.

That is, it's clearly a blatant violation of the Constitution, to everyone but lawyers.

So long as you're allowed to leave out everything that's actually going up in price, yes. Like houses, or food, or gas, or... well, pretty much everything you actually need. But if all you buy is Android tablets, wow, inflation is low.

He's the reason compiler writes invented pragmas to turn off warnings...

You forgot the explosions. And the time travel.

Yeah, so?

Road accidents happen all the time, and cause damage/harm to anything that happens to be in the way. The response to a new method of transport shouldn't be 'OMG! NEW STUFF! BAN IT!', it should be 'OK, is this more or less dangerous than delivering stuff by truck?'

So, are you going to explain why a hundred drones delivering packages is magically much more dangerous than a truck-load of Amazon packages crashing into a packed school playground?

Considering these are basically miniature electric helicopters, I'm not sure a crash is really that big a deal; certainly no more so than a truck crashing in the street while delivering the same package through the FAA-approved route. Plus, whoever it crashed on would get free stuff as compensation.

And everyone now hates Windows because Microsoft pushed a phone interface onto their new desktop and laptop in a vain attempt to convince people to write phone apps.

The only person I know who had a Windows phone couldn't wait to get rid of it.

But, that aside, even if it's the best phone OS ever, it's still lumbered with that 'Windows' logo, which most people who've used computers read as 'cheap crap that crashes all the time'.

But no advertiser wants that used as a metric, because people with an IQ higher than a watermelon only click on ads by mistake, or when they're offering free stuff.

It means advertising to me is worthless.

Besides which, I don't use the same brands as my parents; I use the brands which work best for me out of those I've tried.

Uh, yes.

It sells a billion times better because it's available just about everywhere and people know that it tastes like crap, but they don't know whether Joe-Bob's Home Cola tastes better or is recycled pig slurry. Joe-Bob could spend billions advertising Joe-Bob's Recycled Pig-Slurry Cola, and it still wouldn't sell as well as Coke does.
