..."I have a pen and a phone" presidential orders suffer from the same problem. The next president can negate them. Legally. That part of the civics lesson was missed by the rabid left. Obama had been dismantled one executive order at a time. And it's all been legal.
And each XO by the previous prez was legal. Another part of the civics lesson was missed by the rabid right.
It appears we have dumbshits on all sides of the political spectrum.
"My question is why, and what makes it worth spending all of that taxpayer money on?" "But I honestly don't see why it's suddenly a responsibility for governments to preserve it."
Absolutely. I agree. I (nor our populace) have come up with a good solution in keeping with our free speech values. Obviously, other govt types such as dictatorships can get away with it more easily.
I remember similar arguments during one of the serial killer periods in the past. And after, oh, f'rinstance, the OK City bombing. The logistics of suppressing the press (and public) feeding frenzy didn't work much then. Now, with all the tinfoils on the iNet, it's even worse. Main outlets won't report it? "Well, come to my website! I have all the news fit for my imagination to print!".
The populace *will* support this kind of thing during war, not to mention that serial murderers can't compete with professionals.
You are on top of a pyramid, surrounded by slippery slopes.
First, yes, I too would like to "Stop publicizing school shootings!". It would be nice to have some kind of deal where this type of news is buried page 10 with just a statement of basic facts. It used to be that govt would work with the big news producers to suppress information, a state of affairs from WWII. Now, "everybody" is a news producer, and "everyone" is an editorialist. Lack of information will not suppress them--they will make up their own.
"...gag orders in place so the proceedings are entirely secret. When they put them in prison, it needs to be done silently, they need to be put in solitary permanently...".
The US has spent many years criticizing countries that do this type of thing (despite dabbling in it ourselves). I guess we could send them to our very own penal colony Guatanamo Archipelago.
The liberals tend to be the scientists, professors, and artists for some reason.
So... people who aren't real world and live off the government.
Yeah, govt or a patron of some sort. People that are good at that type of thing tend to not be so good at the making money part of things. Rich folks used to support these types. Back in the last millenium they helped to produce the Renaissance. After WWII, the US govt, generally with the support of the voters, made a big push for science & engineering (and arts) to compete globally, which produced a period of Pax Americana.
Supporting a Pax is very expensive: we are seeing the pendulum swing back to the rich guys again, with a large amount of support from the voters. Will we see Pax Koch or Pax Soros? Or will we be happy with a Pax Chinaca?
idk, we knew nothing before, so it's something. They put some thought into it. Somewhat more thought out than what I did when I was looking at buying a new phone. I'm at the apple dealer, I toss my caseless BB on the ground and it goes bouncing along the carpet. I say to the salesman, "can you do that with your iPhone?". He says yes and does so. In this case it was a "poorly designed test", though, because he didn't take the case off, and he made sure it landed flat on its back.
So, the trick is to add this data point, and Tom's Hardware's data points, and I think there's an app you can buy that makes a game out of finding out how high you can throw your iPhone so maybe we can get data points from an online feed; bake in some statistics and see what we get.
I agree with both. I got a case both elastic on the edges yet with a stiff back. I'd say it weighs a goodly percent of the iphone8s, but it handles the butt: I sit on it all the time, with no concern. I considered getting just an edge bumper, but I knew that, for one reason or another, I'd end up sticking it in my back pocket, forget about it, then sit on it and shatter it.

I'm still waiting for the interesting part.
"The reconstruction machine wraps thermal bandages around Leeloo's body, yet she ends up with an extra bandage between her crotch & neck. "
You're welcome.
Mi two.
I agree. Getting rid of the waste would be simple if it weren't for all the paperwork. BTW, where is your back yard?
I wonder if scientists use tools to account for confounding data.
I thought it appropriate for the posting. With your permission, I plan on using that spelling whenever talking about hospital germs :)
Yes, that sounds about right.

Ha! "staff infection"! You kill me.
Yes. That is the primary purpose. Any technical reason is simply a justification for data munching^W^W enhancing the user experience.
Yeah. Didn't realize what your point was until I figured out the central person involved. A quick google shows a only one other site picking this up.
Found this in my surfing and thought I'd regurgitate it for my amusement: from 2017, "Google admits its new smart speaker was eavesdropping on users".
Anyways, as always, I offer my condolences to those with first world problems.
The U.S. wasn't a terribly polarized place back then compared to now.
You don't remember the Generation Gap, do you? Four dead in Ohio? Silent Majority? Damned Hippies? 'Nam?
"My question is why, and what makes it worth spending all of that taxpayer money on?"
"But I honestly don't see why it's suddenly a responsibility for governments to preserve it."
Maybe a little refund on what they took?
Well, I guess it is just going to show that; size doesn't matter, the same principle can still prevail both in the microscopic and macroscopic worlds.

Oblig. car analogy: Cars have both a gas pedal and a brake pedal. Without one you don't get anywhere, without the other you get there dead.

Yep. In 5 billions years, give or take, our sun will become a liability. We will *have* to move our planet if we want to keep it.
My iPhone & Blackberrys both do alerts through the speaker. Is this an Android thing?

You've been watching too much interpretive news, apparently, and not enough studying in civics class.
