The only reason for Apple to need their own satellites is if they wanted to offer a replacement for cellular providers. Having something that works around the globe would be a good selling point. You can already imagine the sappy commercial set to He's Got the Whole World in His Hands they'd use to sell it to the masses. I think I can hear Jobs weeping in his grave at the mere suggestion.

Too bad it'll never come to pass. No government would permit such a thing.

That would be a terrible idea. Imagine it's your case that just got completely tossed because your lawyer used AI. How is that justice for you in any way. Worse yet, if the case were high enough stakes it creates an incentive to bribe opposing counsel to use AI and have the case thrown out. If it's a case worth billions someone would do it.

There are examples where rulings have been overturned or trials had to be redone due to someone having ineffective counsel.

Yeah man. You guys are shining paragons of clearheaded rationality. It would be criminal not to hand over the reigns of power to you. It's so obvious you won't run away to crazytown with it either.

Biden followed that very same line of thinking and let in several million "farm laborers" during his time in office. And in Massachusetts at least, they were all entitled to free stuff to the tune of over $1b per year out of a state budget of about $55b.

You can have a welfare state or you can open borders but you cannot have both at the same time unless you want to make yourself destitute out of principle.

Seems you don't care about users either. There is nothing in your post that shows you even thought about them. You're not an engineer, you're just an asshole.

Engineers think about user requirements.

Wow, just take a statistics class. You are embarrassing yourself.

If done correctly, the inclusion of Rust wouldn't break anything. And yet here we are.

Clearly things are not being done correctly (ie, with established engineering practices). If he actually had an engineering license, it would be revoked because of decisions like this.

Breaking architecture to improve parsing security on files that are almost always received from a trusted source is really a horrible choice. It's saying, "Fuck you" to those users.

The engineering decision is made worse by the fact that making a fallback to support those platforms would be simple, and is already mostly implemented. It's a bad enough decision that I'd have to say the person who made it is not an engineer, he's just an asshole.

How do you know that the summary is accurate?

This should be emphasized. Douglas Crockford says, "breaking compatibility is an act of violence."

Desegregation is refraining from the following:

Ascribing moral worth to race and then codifying that ascription into laws that take a person's immutable accidents of birth and condition their rights on those immutable accidents of birth.

Modern DEI tends to do quite a bit of that in practice if one looks beyond the propaganda.

blowing up a small portion of it.

In a similar vein:

Achieve inter-ethnic harmony by dividing people along ethnic lines, assigning moral worth to ethnicity, and then doling out punishments and rewards using ethnicity as a criterion.

Remember folks: the alternative to racism is *not* "anti-racism" but simply "not-racism." Which DEI as practiced is decidedly not.

Yeah Trump 2 is about as disappointing as Trump 1. Along the dimension of to DEI or not to DEI, he's not wrong.

Boogie Woogie? AI can't beat this or this. Not yet.

IT can provide a tremendous amount of slop.

You were clearly replying to a troll. Proof, he/she said this:

There wasn't any time TV shows had heart, but definitely not in 2005.

The Bell Curve is filled with bad math.
