Google, who would never favor its own apps, and Microsoft who would never favor its own apps, would like to investigate whether Apple is favoring its own apps.

All points of view must be respected and represented. Toward that end, some people's non politically correct point of view must be suppressed so that all points of view are represented.
> You agreed to this when you made the reservation.
Wow! That magic mantra has unlimited power to allow you to do anything.
The hotel can sneak in the middle of the night and harvest your vital organs and sell them to China. After all, you agreed to it when you made the reservation.
It's not like you would have a case in court. After all, your vital organs, plus the money you paid are the consideration in exchange for your use of the room during your stay as a hotel guest.
It's not like you can claim irreparable harm in court, because money is always considered a way to repair damages. You can always go acquire new vital organs on the open market. It is not the hotel's fault if you didn't understand the terms and conditions of the contract.
Do you want to allow us to track you all over the internet using cookies, scripts, malware and zero day exploits?
[x] Yes, please do not exclude me from your list of people not on the list of those who you do not track using less harmful techniques.
[_] No, I do not want to be included on the list that tracks people who do not want to be on the list of those we track using invasive and harmful techniques.
He's not necessarily saying it is OK. Just saying how it actually is.
For example I can say: Trump is president.
That does not mean I am saying it is OK or Not OK for that matter. It is just a simple fact.
It is a simple fact that Apple, like any publicly traded corporation, will do anything to make money without any moral consideration whatsoever. That is their legal duty as a publicly traded corporation.
Now that Unicode includes a large set of Emoji characters / glyphs, can we please dispense with the Roman 26 character alphabet and communicate and reply to one another using only Emoji characters? Could a new Beta version of Slashdot please enforce this?
As an actual Java developer, I can't even remember what a compile time error is. A modern IDE flags compile time errors before you build anything. And the IDE keeps compiled classes up to date at all moments. I could make a change in the current file, which now causes some other files to no longer compile, and they instantly start turning red in the file tree right before your eyes.
A modern IDE even uses a variation of the compiler which compiles code with compile time errors -- so that when run it will produce run time errors explaining the compile time error. This is not the compiler you necessarily build your project with -- although you can -- because when you build you have no compile errors.
Syntax deficiencies, any any language, are not minor. I could say that C++, or any language, loves to whine and complain about minor syntax deficiencies.
Syntax errors simply mean the programmer doesn't know the language well enough. Yet.
>That isn't stupidity either, so long as it is a conscious decision being made.
Just because something is a conscious doesn't exclude it from being stupid. See "Jackass The Movie".

I would kindly inform them that they are wrong. Almost anything is edible. At least one time.
Lack of awareness that Google does more tracking than that 2/3 expect Google to do.
But 1/3 do expect Google to do that. So if they are users, then the 1/3 is stupid. But the 2/3 are something, but not necessarily stupid -- although stupid could be included in the list.

What I really want is a phone that I can fold eight times. That way it is so small it would easily fit in a neck charm when folded up.
Oh my! A phone with a folding screen. What could possibly go wrong! go wrong! go wrong!
> I wonder if it's possible to copy and paste the entire bible in a single post.
Perhaps more practical is to copy and paste one book of the bible per post.
Or one chapter per post! That would be over 1100 posts, each of non-trivial length.
But then you would need to find a site worthy of such treatment -- like Conservapedia.
And a bot to fetch the chapters from some site such as biblegateway or other.
Capitalists understand that morals are a valuable resource, and as such have marketable value to be sold to the highest bidder.
When I read the first three words of that headline, I was shocked, until I read the rest.

OMG!!! What are the 'social media influencers' going to say!
We can not tolerate intolerant people. And I dislike biased people so much that I am highly biased against them.

Do they make money from these accidental leaks of your data?

Think Different!
Just like everyone else. Don't rock the boat. Rebrand 'prison camp' to 'walled garden'.
How dare you think you should be able to make a repair instead of buying the latest thing we tell you to buy!
Complaining about the lack of a headphone jack is a sign of cowardice comrad.
Will the redesigned Helvetica have the courage to omit a headphone jack?

I think the green zebra line printer paper is easier to find than the Hollerith 80 column punch cards.
In "The Andromeda Strain" (movie, book) there was some fictional regimen for cleaning humans.
This problem was well known on Mir. I think the ISS took precautions being aware of it. Yet the problem develops, albeit more slowly.

We could eliminate lying straight people too.
But what a disaster -- no politicians. Maybe very few surviving lawyers.
> what happens on ISS stays on ISS.
What happens on ISS stays on YouTube.

I don't care how simpler C++ thinks it is.
I can write a bigger, slower program in Java, in less time, any day of the week.
