However, I feel it necessary to point out that the logic being used by these industry trade groups boils down to
This is a "Lobbying Group." And much like most such groups, 1) Claims to represent companies|people that it doesn't, 2) Chooses a name "Security Innovation Center," that is the polar opposite of it's actual intent, 3) And like most Lobying Groups exists soley to bring about specialist protectionist legislation that will screw over the most people for the least amount of money.
It's pretty f'n simple: Don't buy your phone from a carrier. Anyone buying from Verizon directly is unfortunately ignorant, as it's likely the GSM radios don't even exist in those "specialty phones" for ATT | T-Mobile and non-CDMA (GSM) MVNO's.
Trump and [Rex] Tillerson seem determined to tear down the U.S. Department of State, an irreplaceable pillar of American influence around the world, saving a few dollars in the short run at the cost of a more dangerous world.
Downgrading diplomacy: The secretary of state is deconstructing and downsizing the State Department. Secretary Tillerson has pursued a “reorganization” that has delivered little and lost the trust of U.S. diplomats, while pledging to cut the department’s budget by nearly a third even before his initial review of the department’s missions was complete.
Diplomats racing for the exits: Senior career officers have been forced out, numerous senior jobs remain vacant, the incoming class of new officers has been cut back, and the department’s influence on foreign policy in Washington is the lowest in modern memory.
Simply put, American diplomacy is weaker under Trump and Tillerson, and it will take many years to recover after they are gone.
I don't know about "AmericanProgress" as a source, but most of the content of the article in question meshes with the news that I have watched and read over the last year from Axios, NYT, WSJ, WashPo, Reuters and others.
Now I doubt you actually want facts, as it's easy enough to look this state of affairs up.
If you paid attention to the news (which I don't recommend, it's depressing as fuck) You would know the answer to some of those questions. For a more recent run-down of how Trump and the Republicans are single-handedly dismantling the FBI to cover their respective asses and distract the public -- watch Rachel Maddow's most recent Jan.29th episode, or even last weeks Jan 24th or 25th episode.

Proclivities, sure, to listen to new music|artists that don't suck. There's certainly enough of it.
I've never listened to the bolded artists, as very little rap interested me at any stage of my life.
Most folks stop listening to new music well before middle age. I suppose it's a fine balance between trying to find new music and listening to music one already knows the patterns of.
And to call people like Idina Menzel, Calvin Harris, or Prophets of Rage "relative unknowns" is fucking hilarious and sad.
Prophets of Rage is an American rap rock supergroup. Formed in 2016, the group consists of three members of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, two members of Public Enemy, and rapper B-Real of Cypress Hill.
Just because you personally haven't heard of an artist doesn't make them, "one hit wonders" | "relative unknowns" | "untalented" Most have already released a minimum of 2 albums, and many of the artists have put out 4 or more. I'm not going to delineate them, but one specifically example would be, John Newman:
John William Peter Newman (born 16 June 1990)[2] is an English musician, singer, songwriter and record producer. He is best known for the track "Love Me Again" which peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart in July 2013 as well as co-writing and singing on Rudimental's 2012 singles "Feel the Love" and "Not Giving In", which peaked at number one and number 14 on the chart, respectively. In 2014, he featured in the Calvin Harris single "Blame" which topped the UK charts.
At the 2014 Brit Awards, Newman was nominated for three Brit Awards, including for British Male Solo Artist.[3] As of February 2014, Newman has sold over 1.3 million records in the UK alone.[4]

My phone regularly falls back to 2G, or the 2000-era "3G Edge." Then there are swaths of the interstates that don't have any cell service at all.
So what does an Uber driver do when he has a significant "gap" between customers?
Sleep at a 7-11.

In 1999 I switched from DOS to Win 98SE, and drag n drop worked just fine. I need not comment on horridness of Windows 95 or earlier.
Unless Adam Williams owns one of these "used" / "demo" vehicles, how does he have any Standing to bring this lawsuit about at all?
It also seems like it would be pretty easy to query the owners of said vehicles to see if they've had unusual, or frequent problems with their cars.
This sounds like little more than a disgruntled ex-employee abusing the Wild West US Court system.
WTF is this bullshit? "Drag & drop actually worked!" OP sounds like a flaming moron.
Drag & Drop has worked as expected on Windows for at least 20 years.
Where are you subjected to commercials these days? Aside from the odd billboard or bus shelter.

Refurbished Pixel XL (128GB) ~$399.
Isn't it the same marketing strategy as Allo, Duo, Hangouts, and Messages?
And the US company vaping products are garbage compared to the European companies like Innokin, Vaporesso, etc.
The US products seem more concerned about "looking like a cigarette", than actually working decently.
Unlikely, I'm pretty sure the Big T has more pressing concerns.

No wonder Google switched to Debian as a distribution base. Shuttleworth has turned Ubuntu into a major clusterf*ck.
Who's laughing now??
Broken Alice.
Sure, if the only measure of "successful" is has the biggest pile of rotting money.
I would say the most successful company was AT&T/Bell Labs. But you know they actually made shit.
