So you think adding a middle man such as Apple or Google doesn't increase fees for the users in the end? What do we say again, I have a bridge to sell you?
I wish they don't, because they charge a fee to the banks, and banks end-up passing that fee to the consumers and/or merchants (which pass them to consumers) one way or another.
I also wish banks drop support for Apple Pay for the same reason.
Did Wikipedia pay mobile network carriers to offer Wikipedia Zero for free? Or did just they wrote letters to them asking them to offer Wikipedia Zero for free?
Your source is wrong. Just because property taxes are at 0.73% in California doesn't mean they are lower than the 1.65% in Nebraska. You have to compare property value. If an average standard bungalow home is 1 million in California but only 100k$ in Nebraska, California property taxes are much higher.
(Some) people may know their phone is not repairable. However, they do not consider the environmental cost since the cost is passed on to the rest of the world. This is exactly the kind of situation where you need government intervention. To fix a market failure.
of course we should plan now to adapt to the effects of global warming. It doesn't mean we should stop effort to reduce CO2 emissions. It's still worth it.
Fuck that. When there's smoke coming out of every window in the house, it's too late to raise the alarm...
Future generations will live into that house whether you like it or not (it's not as if we will be ready to leave for Mars any time soon). What you are saying sounds a lot like "the house is going to burn anyway, so why not start a second fire to grill some marshmallows in the kitchen".
"Global Warming Will Kill Us All." Is probably a lot more likely than most climate scientists would like it to be - as unfortunately, the most accurate Climate Models tend to be the most pessimistic
Even a 20 Celsius rise wouldn't kill us all. Those of us still alive would only be living closer to the poles or higher in the mountains. The question is what is the cost of the warming. And how does that compare to the cost of reducing our greenhouse CO2 emissions. Altough it's still debatable, the general consensus is that it's cheaper to act now to reduce our emissions (especially in high per-capita emission countries such as the USA, Australia and Arab gulf states).
The plain, uncomfortable truth is that the Paris Accord goal is unreachable. [...] the average global temperature is going to rise by considerably more than 2 degrees C in the next century or so, regardless of how quickly electric vehicles replace internal combustion-based transportation.
No matter whether the Paris Accord goal is reachable or not, it's still a lot better if we manage to limit the temperature rise by say, 3 degrees C, than do absolutely nothing and end-up with a rise of 4, 5, or even 6 C.
You forget the period from 1760 to 1960 or so. That's about 200 years where French culture was actively destroyed in North America. It included French schools bans, Acadian deportation, assimilation (successes and attempts), and much more. That's about half of the French history on the continent, so it had consequences.

The news is that some countries are actually worse than the US regarding patents.
Macintosh had its Adobe Suits for desktop publishing
which was used by what, 1% of the desktop users? That's not how you become popular.
their last version is in 2018
doesn't sound abandoned
I am pretty sure that outdated boot loader code will have pretty low impact. It could even have been open source like OS X kernel.
The bootloader of a phone would be the biggest leak in history?
Wasn't the whole Windows code leaked? I think it was Windows 2000.
maybe this has changed, but it clearly wasn't the case when they first launched "NAS" and "RAID" drives.
It's because you shopped for NAS-specific drives. Seagate often makes much cheaper non-NAS drives.
Still, $250 is good, it's now about $300.
who cares, there is nothing special about a blue moon, it looks exactly like any other full moon
gasoline is cheap
This is part of the problem. Put the same taxes on gasoline as you see in Europe, and people in the USA will start buying small cars too.
even when recycled, electronics generates a lot of waste
It's much better to have a phone that last 6 years, instead of only 2 and recycle it.

It's still an Apple-only language and as such should be avoided by beginners at all costs.
And no, crappy swift ports for other platforms, with zero real-word use, don't count.
Germany did a lot to fight global warming. We should all be thankful to Germany.
Carmakers and customers should boycott Apple Carplay. We do not need an Apple Tax on our cars.

Why did Ottawa even apply? The city doesn't even respect the criteria set by Amazon.
