Variation of third verse: And all the teachers are dead

Mass debt is profitable to the ones pulling the strings of our government.

"A poison—so subtle, so insidious so irreversible. It won't even kill you unless you stop taking it."

You're allowed to do whatever you want, I'm not the debate police.

pro tip: it's not necessary to put sarcasm in quotes.

Oh for sure! Running any of the jailbreaks for iPhones has mostly meant installing a huge heap of packages from Gwd Only Knows Where

Useful for having a run-time environment to study an application from you do plan to use on an uncompromised device, perhaps for reusing older hardware for some other non security critical use case, but no frigging way would I consider using a jailbroken phone as my actual phone, with real contacts and access to real data and accounts I care about on it.

This is a case where regulation KILLED.

Basically this a was thing that was essentially marketed to wealthy tourists. It WAS done under a regulatory environment, and so those people had far more trust in it than they should have. I bet had they been forced to drag the thing out to international waters and do some sketchy bitcoin transaction to pay or whatever they would not have found takers!

Regulation of this kind of stuff simply does not work. What regulator has any experience inspecting a deep sea sub? - None.. What engineer could draft what appropriate safety standards are for something like this? - None at least not without completely stifling innovation.

Yes we know from the post incident analysis corners were cut compromised materials were used and engineers and officers on the project should have know better, but that is negligence and it is why we have torts.

Modern rail roading is a good example, we have a lot of regulation. Mostly it works, but there are still the occasional accidents. Pretty much every rule in the book has one or more corpses behind it, it isn't like someone say down and just wrote out the FRA's inspection schedule, we learned the hard way the inspection frequencies required to catch certain problems before they turn into dead bodies -> then -> we said ok everybody is going to do that.

Honestly the DOT (US or CANs) should have exactly one regulation covering something like this, something akin a product safety label that says, "the safety of traveling aboard a device of this class is not well understood, proceed at your peril"

I am fan of owning your own device so I generally consider a positive thing when this stuff happens, provide the exploit path requires physical device access that inst possible to do superstitiously, IE tether then thing and put it in DFU mode, with the full restart that implies, vs pairing some bluetooth thing or something and exploiting the running OS.

Yeah I get it it means it isnt secure to travel with it - fair argument.

This though is almost cruel to release. Most of the affected devices are old enough Apple will probably just move up their end of support plans for them. Probably harms more people trying to save a buck and hang on to old kit, than helps people who might like to play with it without the lock down..

Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

Statism creates billionaires.

While I agree with you the poster's hyperbolic analogy was off the mark. And perhaps now I'm being a bit off topic, but I do need approval from my county government to add an electrical outlet to my house. I think the permit was around $150. Luckily I am allowed to do the work myself, so I don't need to hire anyone licensed.
Turns out having a society means there are rules in order to coexist. Ideally rules that benefit people in that society and if it is democratic in any way, that people mostly agree to follow on principle rather than on threat.

When ADHD negatively impacts your life, it is time to seek treatment options. Medication can be very effective in most individuals, and both children and adults have a lot of self-doubt tied up into the troubles with executive function that ADHD/ADD bring.

While it is true that modern public school systems, especially how they operate in the United States, was in many ways designed to create obedient factory workers for the industrial revolution. That sufferers of ADHD don't thrive in that environment is a symptom of a greater challenge that individual is facing, simply removing our arcane repressive education system doesn't suddenly fix everything for someone with ADHD. I completely agree with the sentiment that public schools are not looking out for what is in the best interest of the children. A problem that exists for children that don't have ADHD as well. But even in a home school environment, the outcomes for someone with untreated ADHD is not encouraging. Not just academic outcome, but psychological, emotional, and relationship outcomes as well.

Loss leader is a strategy of using the power of capital to win market share. Instead of innovation, production, or hard work to produce a better product or better value for the consumer. Winning on your own merits hasn't been part of our economic system as far as I know. (while China claims to be communist, they readily participate in the same global market as everyone else)

Punished for not being fully on board with building killbots for the government. Hesitation is treason.

I semi-retired on NVDA. And you can see them on the bottom of my link.

it's more that we're not talking about the same thing and you mislabel it. And then when you go to compare Democratic Party platform to your mislabeled socialism, you conveniently slide over to a completely different definition. In short, you're not arguing in good faith.
