When you do those comparisons, you should also include the things that Americans pay for separately that they may not have to if their taxes paid for it - particularly healthcare.
Adding my personal tax rate to what I also pay for in healthcare insurance premiums puts me right in line as a percentage of income with many European countries.
That was supposed to be a feature, not a bug--indeed, some of our founders believed that a Bill of Rights was dangerous, as some would see it as a list delimiting exactly what rights were protected, rather than what it is--a list of examples.
I'd say it's more accurately a set of restrictions on the power of the federal government. The preceding articles of the Constitution specifically grants powers to the various branches of government. The first 10 amendments then go on to say that in spite of these powers we've granted you, these actions you may not take. These laws you may not pass.
Even if his charges include 2nd degree murder, the jury has the option to convict on a lesser charge instead. It's not all or nothing.
Correct, and interestingly this is exactly what happened in the case of Mohammed Noor’s shooting of Justine Damond.
Initially charged with 3rd degree murder (and 2nd degree manslaughter), the murder charge was upgraded to 2nd degree.
He was then convicted of 3rd degree murder.
Zuckerberg, in October 2019, answering a question from Rep. Ocasio-Cortez during a congressional hearing:
“If anyone, including a politician, is saying things that can cause, that is calling for violence or could risk imminent physical harm—or voter or census suppression, when we roll out the census suppression policy—we will take that content down.”
I read them on a 12.9" iPad Pro, the screen being pretty close to the correct size and shape. The battery life does leave something to be desired when compared to e-ink, of course, and it does get heavy.
However, they look great on it.
It still doesn't have a USB port
Why do you need one? That's a serious question.
With the exception of charging the battery, everything I do with my iPad I do wirelessly. Connecting a cable to it for any reason seems like a step backward.
Curiously enough, you can actually have something a lot like this, right now.
We've stopped subscribing to cable/satellite, and now watch everything on an Apple TV. Through iTunes, you can rent (with a budget of $100/month) 20 movies in HD (at $4.99 each), or buy 30 TV episodes (at $2.99 each in HD, if bought individually); or any combination. You get to pick what you want, and you pay only for what you watch, so in months when you're busy with other things you can pay nothing at all, if you like.
Apple did recently remove the option to rent HD television episodes at $1.99, but you can buy full seasons ("season pass") which typically offer decent savings.
That directory also houses applications that are not usually directly invoked by the user, but from another event (apps like Installer, Bluetooth Setup Assistant, Keyboard Setup Assistant, and so forth, most of which are started by taking action within the System Preferences app.)
I'm not certain how you'd invoke Wi-Fi diagnostics, but it might be part of the troubleshooting path which also contains the Network Setup Assistant.
They did the exact same thing with iMovie a couple of years ago. They built a completely new product, and let it take over the name of a popular and established but long in the tooth product.
Yes, but they left iMovie HD 6 available for download - for free, if I remember correctly - until the new version of iMovie reached feature parity. The problem here isn't really that FCPX removed features, but that FCP7 is no longer available at all.
