If you have to "discover" the parts of the UI they wrote that you actually need, perhaps they should be forced to "discover" their paychecks. "Under the rug? Nope,not there...perhaps behind the wall poster?..."
Ubuntu did the same damn thing with Unity. Giant buttons, forcing all programs to be whole-screen -- fine for a phone, but on a large monitor? Losing both a big swath of screen to buttons four times bigger than needed, and the ability to see multiple windows at once was a HUGE fail; big enough to drive me to Mint. Shuttleworth finally saw, or was clue-batted into seeing, the light, and dropped that; maybe Google has enough clueful folk around to follow the rest of that example.
I wonder why Google cares what Turkey wants - surely Google can't be making much money in ads from Turkey. Perhaps Turkey has an ally here in the US who *could* do some damage to Google? Hmmmm..
six low level jobs replaced by a number of high paying jobs is better for the majority
Only if the higher paying jobs pay enough to put the money into the economy that the eliminated jobs did. That would include jobs sustained by that new spending. Otherwise, all that happens is the rich get richer, one person's life improves a bit, and 6 become worse off.
Watched the entire vid. Rear two stacks are real, connected to the two engines. Front two contain observation platforms, with the radar and comm systems placed on top.
Mere damage to the leading edge of an aerodynamic surface can, and has, caused a crash, eg Continental Express Flight 2574 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
"...the sudden in-flight loss of the partially secured left horizontal stabilizer leading edge and the immediate severe nose-down pitchover and breakup of the airplane."
From the article:
We make these claims based on a classification of households into those in extreme poverty (households spending below $1.90 per person per day) and those in the middle class (households spending $11-110 per day per person in 2011 purchasing power parity, or PPP). Two other groups round out our classification: vulnerable households fall between those in poverty and the middle class; and those who are at the top of the distribution who are classified as “rich.”
11 -110 per day, when already adjusted for purchasing power, is clearly claiming that only having 11/day per person is NOT poverty.
From the study, it appears that they set their definition of 'not poor' to support the desired conclusion.

$11 per day is middle class??
Do note that one of the first bills Nancy Pelosi pushed through the House was a repeal of the tax break US companies get for moving manufacturing out of the US and adding a tax break for returning a factory to the US -- and the Republicans in the Senate filibustered it.
Study some history, there were fully automatic weapons available at the time (like the Belton Flintlocks, Pickle gun, Griandoni air rifles etc) some of which had ammo capacities higher than 20 rounds (like the Girandoni air rifles etc).
Those would have all been fabulously expensive hand-made weapons, and therefore not something that would generally have been available to even rich citizens, let alone the general populace.
From Wikipedia:
"Despite having a remarkably fast fire rate for the time, the Kalthoff could never have become a standard military firearm because of its cost. The mechanism had to be assembled with skill and care, and took far more time to assemble than an ordinary muzzle-loader. Also, all the parts were interdependent; if a gear broke or jammed, the whole gun was unusable and only a specialist gunsmith could repair it. It needed special care; powder fouling, or even powder that was slightly wet, could clog it. Since it was so expensive to buy and maintain, only wealthy individuals and elite soldiers could afford it.
The Royal Foot Guards of Denmark were issued with about a hundred of these guns, and they are thought to have been used in the Siege of Copenhagen (1658-59) and the Scanian War. Others were ordered for private use or for demonstration."
It should be noted that this gun was in NO WAY an automatic weapon, it was a semi-automatic that required a lever to be worked to reload for each shot. Likewise, the Puckle (not Pickle) gun also required each shot to be manually rotated into place, having been loaded into a giant brass cylinder.
"...you can accomplish the same results of having the vehicles that use the road the most pay the most through fuel taxes." This will need rethinking with the rise of electric cars, though. A dedicated watt meter on all charging stations, including home ones, to calculate a usage tax might work , or perhaps a mileage tax on one's car, paid monthly or yearly.
However, the Palemoon site only has Palemoon explicit addons/extensions. When Firefox drops support for current addons, one would expect them to delete them all from their site as well. Someone better mirror before they are gone forever.
Amiga programs that still have no equivalent today:
RGS: Realtime Graphic Synthesis
Using build-in primitive paint program, you painted a sonogram of a sound, and heard it synthesized in real time.
Later on, another programmer coded a companion program that would let you import/export those images to other graphics programs.
I don't recall the program name, but there was a 3D sonogram program that would let you draw a box around a time/frequency area, then change its amplitude. This made things like removing a 'pop' sound dead easy - just look for the single spike poking up, and push it down.
So do you have to 're-sync' your face with your phone if you didn't shave, or grew / removed a beard, or had / resolved weight issues? Further, with 3D printers becoming ever cheaper and more capable, hacking this sounds even easier than the gelatin fingerprint hack.

I wonder if the "updates" aren't specifically designed to make the phone slower, so as to encourage you to buy a newer, faster one?

That works in a business environment until you have a lecherous thought about the cutie who walked by.
More like, Google analyzing your response to every article, image, and ad, and developing a personal brain map the'd then use to super-market to you.

Actually, as a safety measure, some kind of ramp-up sound prior to firing might be good, in case any crew members are in its line of fire.
