Their example is poor, sure. So, better example would be to "deprioritize" any traffic to/from PizzaHut to the point where a pizza could be delivered from another company before the page loaded.
It isn't a difficult concept. There are things that are better legislated at the federal level, and things that aren't. Basing your argument of whether it should, solely on whether the states can is wrong. Just because something CAN be done, isn't a valid argument that it should be done.
I have absolutely no issue with the states having control over their laws. I have a problem with people assuming, without and justification, that it's automatically better for everything to be handled by the state. There are things that should/need to be regulated at a federal level. People may argue about what does and doesn't need to be, but only an idiot would argue that the federal shouldn't only on the grounds that the states can. THAT was my point.
It's a terrible argument. Why allow the states to regulate, when the county can regulate? Why allow the county to regulate, when the city can regulate? Why allow the city to regulate when the person can regulate? Just because something CAN be done by a smaller group of people, doesn't mean it is inherently in the best interest for them to.
Yes, because Apple has never had hardware trouble with their devices. This includes the fact that Apple has had a non-zero number of battery explosion reports. I'm not going to defend Samsung, nor am I going to say Apple hardware is shit. I'm just pointing out that companies are made up of people and people screw up. This is true, regardless of which side of the fence you're on.
As for reboots fixing issues, you're acting like the same isn't true of Android in most cases.
Tapping an icon, is tapping icon. It doesn't matter whether it's iOS or Android. The settings are where the only real major usability differences are. On iPhone, within a version, the settings are going to be the same for all devices. Even between versions, the changes aren't usually that drastic. I'm an Android user, and more than capable of handling the differences between version and manufacturer. I, generally, know what I'm doing. But when I help someone over the phone, I'll hope they have an iPhone.
The problem is, this goes against the capitalist nature of the country. A lot of people assume that welfare systems will be abused. They'd rather pay more knowing the money is going to working people, than people that hypothetically are abusing the welfare system.
As has always been the case, if you want the best of everything (or an Apple) you are paying a premium. If you're willing to accept a step down in one or more categories, the price will drop off greatly. It isn't anything unique to this market.
In the case of the Moto G4 plus, you're talking a smaller and lower res screen, slower download/upload speeds, much slower cpu and gpu, and an older version of bluetooth. The $250 Moto is only 2gb of ram and 16gb of storage. $300 for the 4gb and 64gb. You might of gotten a deal or just generalizing. All that said, I'm not knocking the choice. I'm just saying there is a trade off.
You're the one that insisted that making a statement about one of the groups was insulting to the other. I said making a statement about both groups is insulting. Now, you're trying to claim it doesn't matter. This wasn't about defending them from your idiotic comments. This was about pointing out where/why you were wrong, and hoping you might think about it. Barring obvious exceptions, anyone that serves deserves respect. Your comments, at the very least, disparage the service of drafted men.
When you say that people who didn't run from the draft showed courage, you're insulting people who volunteered.
Whatever his actions, your extreme stance isn't the right approach. Regardless of your intent, your statement insults both drafted and enlisted. It implies that enlisted people feel they're superior to drafted men and that they feel insulted when drafted men take pride in serving when called upon. You're also saying drafted men shouldn't take pride in serving when called upon. While I cannot speak from experience, I doubt that enlisted vs drafted is their biggest concern during a war.
That is complete bull. Attributing courage to one group doesn't inherently diminish another. If it was explicitly stated that the people that were drafted were just as courageous as volunteers, then you would have a starting point. Further, it doesn't always take courage to enlist. Lack of perceived options also factors into it. Also, having courage to enlist doesn't mean you actually have the courage to risk your life out there. Drafted or enlisted makes very little difference at that point.

Counterpoint: It's succeeding for many, many people. However, I do understand the plight. I'm at the other end of the spectrum. I want a flagship with 6" screen and they are putting out at best 5.7". Google Nexus 6/6p/Pixel XL dropped from 6" to 5.7" to 5.5". The regular Pixel at least dropped to 5" for those that want smaller screens.
I looked through a few myself. I didn't see a single one mention that providing breaks was a large, or any, part. In fact, one of them mentioned business were leaving for states such as Washington. Washington has breaks as well, so obviously that wasn't a large factor.
That's reasonable. But, they made the switch without adding the security part. If you are going to the trouble to redo the infrastructure of credit card processing, why not, I dunno, make it more secure while you do it? It's not like entering a PIN number is a foreign concept to people.
Honestly, because people hate change. It's going to be easier to force one change on people than two. I don't know what other reasons were involved, but that can be a big one. We want things to just work, and work like they always have. For most people, credit card fraud is someone else's problem. People only want security as long as it doesn't inconvenience them.
While chip alone may not be as secure as chip and pin, it is still more difficult to skim than the magnetic stripe. Further, the hardware change to chip is still required for chip and pin. It can always be implemented at a future point when the hardware migration is complete.
You're misunderstanding the issue here. This isn't about them promising some feature down the road and it not being present yet. This is the developer promising a feature and not delivering the feature. That is very relevant.

"States can" isn't necessarily a good motto for why federal shouldn't. There is technically no limit to what states are capable of regulating.

You don't have to sell me on that, just the rest of society.

I get that it happens often enough. However, generally speaking, isn't that a terrible idea? Last thing they would want is to draw attention.

Considering most people purchase their phones from a locked carrier, kinda hard.

Well, sure.. if you're not a fan of pedantry.
Well, not forever....

Well, no. The ISP wouldn't normally have access to the VPN logs.
