Because of axial precession, does this mean that Facebook will drag the moral compass of its users away from truth, too slowly for them to notice that it's happening?

Asking for scientific reasons...

With comedy, the timing of spoken lines is vital to the humor. Captions often spoil the effect by showing the punchline before it's spoken.

I'm older too and often turn on TV closed captioning to make sense of the less-audible dialogue. But I have to leave the captions off for comedies (at least the ones I care about) because otherwise, as I listen to the spoken dialogue, I'll glance down at the captions and see what the actors are saying before they say it. Punchlines and timing are ruined.

There exists technology to show captions on a seat-by seat basis, without glasses and without showing the captions to the entire theater, but it's more expensive than just just turning them on for everybody.

That telephone appears to be designed for satellite voice calls, which require substantially more data bandwidth than is needed for a brief text message. The gain provided by a larger antenna can be traded off for a longer transmit duration, which is not an issue for short messages. SPOT devices also use Globalstar for short data messages and don't have the big antenna seen on the phone referenced by the parent. https://www.findmespot.com/

Globalstar's RF spectrum is just above the GPS band, so it might be possible for Apple to design an antenna than could be used for both GPS and Globalstar, and yet be the same size as the GPS antennas in current phones.

It's not like Globalstar has the bandwidth to support all of those iPhone users who happen to be wandering in places with lousy cell coverage.

Supporting satellite-based communication on an emergency basis only would require far less in terms of the limited bandwidth available.

Teleprompters. We have the technology.

How soon until bad guys start surreptitiously sending offending images to the iPhones of people they don't like? Apple will do the rest of the work for them.

Operating systems at least try to keep malware at bay, but images? Consumer devices are designed to suck those up from the web, social media, e-mail, texts, and what have you.

And some tech savvy cretin with too little regard for humanity is going to code up a way to disguise the images so that the recipient never sees them, but the bit stream will match hashes in the government database.

Good luck explaining all that to a jury.

But then everyone on the opt-out list will be put on a child porn watch list.

And no one will be able to remove the software in question from their iPhones because of the nature of Apple's cryptographically-enforced walled garden. The walled garden keeps you safe, remember?

Trade secrets are a form of IP, so you'd probably want an IP lawyer if you're going to fight on those grounds.

If this is the same Keenan Nix, https://www.forthepeople.com/a... his practice areas are: "Business Tort Litigation, Medical Malpractice, Personal Injury, Premises Liability, Wrongful Death".

IANL, but unless he had Delta sign an NDA before he showed them his app, he's probably hosed. You can't go telling people your trade secrets and still have them be secret.

An interesting question is if Delta makes its employees sign an intellectual property agreement. Most large companies do, but airlines may not see it as necessary. If the guy did sign one of those, the company may own his invention anyway.

"A fungus called Massospora, which can produce compounds of cathinone -- an amphetamine -- infects a small number of them and makes them lose control."

So if I claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto I can sue for billion$$$?

I am Satoshi Nakamoto!
