Liquids do compress, but in general we say they don't because it's so tiny and such huge pressures.
The pressure you feel in the water has nothing to do with compression. An "incompressable" metal anvil still feels like pressure the more anvils you stack on top.
What you feel in water, is literally the weight of the column of water directly above your 2-D silhouette viewed from above.
If pedophiles are people who CAN'T control their natural impulses to have sex with children. Maybe we should 1) accept that they exist. and 2) advocate for safe outlets that allow them to deal with their "urges" without actually banging our children.
Are child sex robots disturbing? Probably. But what's more important? Not having to "think" about something disgusting, or actually stopping pedos from banging children?

Only in a world where you kids grow up in a "everyone gets a trophy", can you somehow think that the conservatives ardent, militant support of Israel's "can do no wrong" people, can also be Holocaust deniers.

So you're welcome to come up with a new reason for why everyone uses it "even though it sucks." But your reason of "nobody knew it would suck" is complete bullshit.
Clearly men sleeping less is an important gender issue and I can't wait for all the social justice kids to start writing 8 articles a day about how women are clearly sexist and things need to change. After all, feminism and social justice isn't anti-male.

WHY DID THEY NOT TELL THE PUBLIC?
Think about that. If it was such a threat to our elections, why wouldn't you let us know? If this was Trump, the media would be ripping their hearts out and slapping them on the table while screaming "COLLUSION!" for not telling us.
You're right. If my car is going 70 MPH on the highway, it's super safe to simply slow down or stop regardless of conditions. Surely nobody will rear end me and end up suing the shit out of Tesla.
There's a huge difference between a TOOL ("stay in the the lanes" ala essentially a next-gen cruise control), and an autonomous machine capable of making DECISIONS that override the driver.
A Tesla is NOT a self-driving car. It's not autonomous. It's a CAR that has a next-gen cruise control. That's it.
There's no difference between falling asleep with the cruise control on in your Lexus and eventually driving off the road, and falling asleep with the Telsa next-gen cruise control and eventually driving off the road. The DRIVER is supposed to be watching and in control at all times. The TOOL is simply taking care of the redundant activities of pushing the pedal to maintain speed and adjusting the wheel to maintain direction. The tool is not a navigator. The tool is not a brain legally permitted to drive on the US highway system. The tool is a freakin' tool! The real brain (the driver) is supposed to watch the tools and ensure they act accordingly.
We're talking about "common sense"? We're talking about a vehicle that is driving "within the lanes" (not some magical self-driving, autonomous car). How is this car supposed to magically know where to pull over? How is the car supposed to know it's safe to pull over and not a cliff? What if the road is being worked on? What if there is subtle but dangerous debris? What if X/Y/Z? I mean, are we really pretending that a current generation car is smart enough to know 100% that it's safe to pull over? And if not 100% or close to it, what kind of deep shit would a car manufacturer be in if their car OVERRIDES THE DRIVER and causes an accident or kills someone?
I don't know how LOUD the nag screen is (if it's audible at all) but that's all you can really ask of a dumb car that's only capable of staying inside a lane and not rear-ending the car in front of it.
The driver is 100% legally responsible in this situation. The vehicle was never designed to be, or legally cleared, to be autonomous and decision making. If it was, it wouldn't be on the road yet. Because AFAIK, there are a total of ZERO autonomous production/consumer vehicles on the road. Why? Because who do you blame when an autonomous car driven by "algorithms" (written by hundreds of people) ends up killing someone? The Tesla isn't an autonomous car. It's the next generation of "cruise control" or automatic transmission. It's a tool. It's not a brain.
... but honestly, any company working with China has to employ EXTENSIVE measures to not be completely ripped off. One thing you never do is give them a complete design. You have two or three manufacturers and they each get a piece of the design--never the whole thing.
We live in an age were knowledge is MONEY. Our social security numbers. Our medical records. Our personal information is _valuable_ enough for hackers to spend the time to steal. Now, imagine having a patent or new design in one of the (if not THE) most watched tech companies in the world. Anything they do, has immediate ramifications. Any new API and the industry reacts and adapts, and/or competes. There's tons of interest (=money) in knowing what Apple does before the general public does.
The task of keeping Apple secret, even when an employee is disgruntled or fired, must be a monumental task.
Call me an old fart, but I absolutely hate that about mobile interfaces.
How am I supposed to know that a menu needs to be swiped, then double pressed then held. At least with desktop UI's you can hover the mouse over a button and get a caption.
I had my Samsung S5 for over a year before I realized that the drop down top bar with the wifi/location/etc buttons can actually be HELD and it'll go into a sub-menu for configuration. Whereas just pushing the button turns them on/off.
And, furthermore, the second you utilize TIME in your clicks, you're now forcing time to be a component in their usage. I can press as many radio buttons on my car radio as I want... as fast as I want. I don't have to press one button, and then HOLD IT to have it move radio station. I don't have to watch for the "Context" to change.
If you ask me (and nobody is), user interfaces have gone ass-backwards and keep getting worse. When I had a flip phone, I could send text messages on the FULL KEYBOARD without even looking at the phone. I knew people who could hold conversations AND send text messages like some sort of dual-core human savant. Now, I have to freaking type texts with my fingers pressing ON THE SCREEN that I'm also supposed to be reading from. (Enjoy playing a game where 1/4th to 1/3rd the screen area is your fingers.) Moreover, there's no haptic feedback. So much so that "haptic feedback" is some new age buzzword research field for what we used to already have... a freaking audible/feelable CLICK when you depress a button, and ridges so you can place your fingers in the right place.
Stare at your keyboard right now. Notice the bumps on the F and J keys? They're notches so you can place your hands... the same place... every time. And they work so well you probably never even noticed them.
Meanwhile, how many times have you tried typing manual keys (or god forbid a PASSWORD with special characters) on your phone, and looked down and realized you slightly missed a key and hit a completely different letter as if you're hands are made of fat, unwieldy sausages.

If feminism was about equality they'd care about the drastically falling graduation rates of men.
If feminism was even remotely reasonable but still selfish, they'd at least ensure men can get degrees so they'd have better men to consider marrying.
But nope.
