Being fully aware of the biases is important. But when the competitors are biased against the truth, and/or towards corporate interests, then an exception to that can seem like it is unbiased in comparison.
Between the longer lives of CFL and LED bulbs, and the fact that modern rooms have gone from a single bulb hanging from the center of the room to multiple bulbs on the walls and a 3 or 4 bulb cluster in the center (wiping out the electricity savings from the more efficient bulbs), it is a long time since I kept a spare supply of bulbs. If my toilet light goes out (which is about the only room it makes a difference, since there is only one bulb there), I'll take one of the three ceiling lights from the bathroom until I get around to buying a new one.
It used to annoy me how fat my wallet would get with useless coins every time I travelled to Japan until I learned to use Suica for most purchases. Here's a better idea; the penny should be made of nothing, like it is in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and a growing number of other countries.
Liberty minded means willing to act like sheep, and follow all the other liberty minded sheep to NH, and willing to vote the way the shepherds say to vote, so you get to impose your libertarian policies on all the rest of the NH voters, who obviously must believe in all the wrong kinds of freedoms.

A better solution, rather than naming the browsers that the page was "designed for", which would just make users change to one of those browsers when they see the message frequently: "This page contains obsolete experimental tags for features which have since been standardized", and have Webkit based browsers display the message as well.
Part of the "standard web" push has always been: Broken sites will sometimes be broken, and it is up to developers, not browser vendors, to fix them.

At the very least, they could phase them out after the standard is final and all browsers have added non-prefixed versions.
And break the internet? By now there are thousands of pages, perhaps millions, that are relying on these non-standard prefixes, and like pages designed for IE6, it is going to take years for enough of them to be updated that the prefixed attributes can be safely phased out.
First, browsers were built and made public - released out of closed environments and into the open - built upon WebKit with these proprietary prefixes.
-webkit- is only the problem because it is widespread. Pretty much the same set of attributes are similarly available with -moz- prefixes, and some are available with -ms- or whatever it is that Microsoft uses for its browsers. So you can't blame WebKit developers, all the browser developers were doing the same thing.
The blame for this lies squarely with the W3C. The CSS3 standard was too slow evolving, and the W3C requested browser makers to prefix any non-finalised attributes with -browsername- to avoid non-standard implementations polluting the global namespace. While a noble goal, the result is that developers who want shiny new features have to use the non-standard prefixes, and with standard browsers on iPhone and Android being WebKit based, and a lot of the latest features being aimed at mobile, we end up with -webkit-* being the new default. It would have been better to introduce a single prefix like -draft- for items already under consideration for the standard, so that all the browsers could use the same prefix from the start.
That can be easily proven by taking an actual blood test.
I don't know about the US, but in a lot of countries, you have the right to request an immediate blood test after being found to be over the limit on a breath test. Mainly this is due to the fact that a breath test will measure high for very recent consumption, as evaporated alcohol from the stomach may be mixing with air exhaled from lungs. The same process is probably occurring here, and her blood alcohol level may be much lower than expected from that breath alcohol reading, though it is likely that her body/mind has adapted to a higher base level, which is a bit more problematic from a legal standpoint, as the blood alcohol limit has no allowance for different tolerance in individuals.
There ought to be compulsory licensing available for fictional worlds and characters, as there is for music. Studios should not be able to control derived works like fan fiction or charge arbitrary fees.
Like you say, it is an economy of scale. If your scale is low enough that you are outsourcing the manufacturing, then the balance tips towards software enabling features on the same design. If you are doing your own manufacturing, then the actual hardware BOM cost is more important.
The key here is "failed a test". So the disabling of features in software in that case increases yeild, and therefore allows for increased profit margin - until the competitors start doing the same, when it turns into lower prices.
This might be true for makers of small volume specialist equipment, but for consumer goods, margins are too low to include unused functionality which is disabled by software.

You can still check your email from an internet cafe using the backup codes which you have a printout of in your wallet, and still have some protection against the keyloggers that are installed on those publically accessible computers.
I kind of expect them to stay in Syria, and take up arms against a sea of troubles
This is what caused the sea of troubles in the first place. Do you think there are not enough groups in Syria fighting against the oppressors from the government and Daesh already?
The editors were too busy chuckling over the irony of releasing a story about an Outlook exploit involving a Flash infection vector, with a link to the details in a PDF doc.
So in your worldview, people who do not have the economic means to own their own property are the equivalent of slaveholders, and landowners are the equivalent of slaves?
So the government using force to oppress the slaveholder on behalf of a slave is not a right, it is an entitlement? What exactly is a right in your narrow world view?
So if you sign a lease and then you have a child you must seek the property owner's permission for your child to live there with you?
I'm not sure about Queensland, but a lot of places have laws about renting out overcrowded properties. So yes, I think the intention of the law is that you do have to seek permission from the owner for your newborn child to live there, but probably there are other laws that apply which effectively narrow the scope of when the owner can say no in this case to where the property would become overcrowded. Often the laws on overcrowding only count children over a certain age, so the tenants can be given plenty of notice.
In Australia, your case would be thrown out of court, because tenants have a legal right to quiet enjoyment of the property they are leasing from you, including the right to sublease. Contracts cannot overrule law. Running a hotel on the other hand, probably requires permits and stricter fire regulations etc, and if the courts decide that airbnb qualifies as a hotel, then the tenants may be in breach of other laws (which may become a breach of your contract).

This is how a lot of people feel about America these days.
