    Sure, but those conditions existed BEFORE Google picked the city but none of the incumbents (humor, spell checker suggested encumbrances) were interested until after Google announced.

    So you figure people will spend a couple hundred to a thousand on a drone and faced with it's eminent destruction they'll say "Meh, fuckit".

    Perhaps the hard line stance isn't too important where you liove, but here we have law enforcement that routinely breaks the law (including blackmailing the president). We absolutely do need absolute protections to back up our often ignored Constitutional rights.

    When all apps must be signed by Apple to even load on the vast majority of fruity phones, there can be only one channel. You're in or you're out. And even when you're in, Apple can and has capriciously decided that you're now out.

    Side loading is an Android thing.

    Wow, somebody needs to put the cool aid down. Objective measures show that the U.S. has by far the most expensive healthcare in the world but only manages to rank 16th in quality of care.

    I can't imagine how many times a day you have to perform a mind wipe to remove ideologically inconvenient objective data.

    You know what you call an indie developer with no distribution channel?

    Failed.

    A small developer really doesn't have the resources to devote many hours to developing an app that will then get approved or not by a single gatekeeper with no recourse.

    That's why the iGold rush produced so many press a button, hear a fart apps.

    One VERY important thing to keep in mind: Not all firearms related deaths are wrongful. If you shoot the serial killer on your porch, it's a firearms related death.
