    The Canadian health care system makes a good enough model for Americans.

  2. Trump's economy.

    Good old equality, American style. A person shouldn't be blackmailed with their own life.

  4. That's a lot of people with your password.

    Enjoy your pollution.

  6. He's probably not even upside down!

  7. When they ask you, you just say no. It's that simple.

  8. You mean to tell me people give third parties access to their bank accounts? Wow, that's dumber than using Facebook.

    I don't get it. I didn't say anything about buying used?

    Listen, it's all a moot point. There is just no simple way to do file copies to an iphone via a cable.

    My main media library is a linux machine and I have several linux VMs.

    Installing an open source software library is not an alternative to a usb cable. I hope you can see some ways in which installing an open source software library is more complex than the desired solution here.

  15. I haven't seen the movie, but that sounds like what I would call a parlor trick. Nothing but talking anamitronics.

  16. I thought Amazon was master of efficiency. Why don't they have an app that tells you the exact time your package is arriving?

  17. ...because the AI we have now are parlor tricks and there is no strong AI yet.

    You don't remember the iCloud leak? How many images would have been there to leak if Apple didn't make uploads to their servers practically automatic? How many people even knew those pictures were on their servers?

    I just want to use the method that makes the most sense, is the most secure, and is the simplest. A USB cable and a filesystem copy.
