the German government was prohibited from having heavy weapons by treaty, so they in turn decided that they didn't want a civilian population as well armed as the government and began taking away people's right to own weapons. This in turn left the civilian population vulnerable to the type of thuggery that the Nazi party used in order to intimidate people at the local level.

Note that it was Hitler who deregulated gun ownership for all people except the Jews.

Note also that Hitler and the Nazis came to power democratically. So there wasn't a moral majority who would have resisted had they only had weapons.

Could be. A product that starts with a layered photoshop file and ends in a web site is a valid product idea. Not automatic at all, but starting with slicing and going from there. And making it easy to allocate the slices and layers to DIVS with a useful hierarchy, and the right metrics.

I write code in the editor of my choice, then I open chrome and look at my results.

Presumably as you continue to tweak the code, you have to save and wait for the browser to notice one of the source files has changed. An IDE like browser could update live and instantly from memory, every time the source changes to something legally parsable.

And of course browsers already have built in developer tools, and/or plugins. But there's so much more that's possible.

And you can die from being hit by lightning on the golf-course, out of the blue. But that doesn't stop people playing golf. Things with extremely low probability aren't worth altering your life to avoid.

Note the probability here isn't just being persued for a crime you didn't commit, but that you also have something on your phone that provides convincing but false evidence of it.

Let me resay it. Fucking stupid argument. This meme that we're all breaking arrestable criminal laws all the time without knowing it is nonsense. It's libertarian nonsense.

(Which isn't to say cops don't overstep their powers on occasion. But arrest is not the same thing as prosecution with adequate evidence.)
