Population density in Canadian and US cities is comparable. It always depend how large you consider the territory of the city, of course. Murder rate is high even in low-density US cities, compared to similar Canadian cities.
Most democracies don't have the 2nd amendment and are doing just fine. They have strong protection for free speech and other basic rights, however. Having a gun is not a basic right and has nothing to do in a constitution.
Or even better, do as we always do, nothing. The murder rate will keep staying twice as high in the USA. But at least you'll keep your 2nd amendment, right?
What's the underlying issue? There are probably many causes but the number of available non-hunting guns (and the ease of getting one) is definitely one of them. The gun loving culture is another. As long as you don't get this, you won't solve the issue.
It's not with hand guns that you are going to defeat your tyrannic government anyways. You'd need tanks, jet fighters and nukes do to so. Therefore since the 2nd amendment serves no purpose, why not repeal it?
Canada is just as hard on drug as the US, and so is the EU overall. Even though some countries are tolerant towards cannabis, so are some US states. So no, the war on drug doesn't explain the huge difference in murder rate.
That's not true. Samsung's component division make more money on the iPhone X (not other iPhones) than they make on their own phones. That doesn't mean that Samsung as a whole makes more money from the iPhone X than their own phones.
Samsung is rumored to make $110 on the iPhone X, because of the OLED display and battery, mainly.
How is the drug culture anymore toxic in the US compared to say, Canada or the EU? There are drug addicts everywhere. Only the USA has the second amendment.
Simple. Because there are other use to the items you cite. We are not going to ban kitchen knifes either. What's the other use for an assault weapon? It's certainly not used for deer hunting.
USA is at 4.88 and nearby Canada is only 1.68. The climate doesn't explain the difference. There is a toxic gun and violence culture in the USA which isn't found elsewhere.
The thing is, that person chose guns. Probably because it's what that person thought would be the most effective, the most deadly, and with the highest chances of success. Why even allow that option in the first place?
There aren't only less shootings. There are a lot less murders in other comparably rich and developed countries with more restrictive gun laws.
they update the OS, and even the kernel (the build date is August 2017). But they stay on the 3.18 branch for some reasons, (if it's not broken, laziness)
Similar pricing as the Galaxy S8. Weaker distribution channels. Unknown brand. Releases months later. It could compete with One Plus and other cheap brands but it's too expensive for that.
Its main advantage is the 128 GB storage but the market for that amount of storage is too small. Especially outside of the Apple world.
If it weren't for Andy Rubin, we wouldn't even have heard of this phone. And those who don't know who Rubin is definitely never heard about this phone to begin with.
It also shows that copyright abuse is a form of censorship.
Interesting thought. So let say you inherited the copyright of a book (or movie, painting, song, whatever) with which you disagreed, or made a fool of yourself. By your logic, you should be forced to make it available (and possibly make money out of it) even if you don't want to? Otherwise you'd be doing copyright abuse?
The thing is, people like you who consider words to be polymorphic and change definitions depending on how you feel about those they apply to, aren't those who's opinion counts for anything. The people that count are the legislators that create the laws, the police and other administrations that apply them and the judiciary that interprets them.
No. Language is about being understood. A taxi/cab company is a well understood term world-wide (at least for those who understand English but the word also exist in many other languages).
I don't live in the UK and couldn't care less if legislators over there redefined the word taxi. Uber is still a taxi company in the common usage of the word in the English language. And this is whether they claim otherwise or not.
Perhaps you'd be happier in a country like Turkey Russia or North Korea where the head of state defines everything?
It seems you are the one who like the government to decide words meanings.
No. English is successful because the British Empire was successful, and after that the United States. It could be the crappiest language in the world, it doesn't matter, as long as it's the language of the super power.

Prior to 2012 I also had 2 eBay used iPhones so that I could play with them and keep my geek card.
Real geeks don't use iPhones. Do not confuse Geek and Hipster.
That's not true.

Not sure about what qualifies as a "mass shooting", however the murder rate is much higher in the USA compared to the EU.
Simple. Because there are other use to the items you cite. We are not going to ban kitchen knifes either.

More murders happen per capita in the USA compared to every other rich country.

Except that now he had two options. Truck and gun. Leaving him only one (like in most sane countries) is a good start.
my router is on 4.4.50 (LEDE 17.01) and my server is on 4.9.30 (debian stable)
I haven't checked my toaster however.

My Galaxy S7 is still on 3.18.14. That's the oldest kernel I'm running on any of my devices.
Like most people on Earth?
Netflix has more content than CraveTV. So they probably made more dirty deals than Bell.
Netflix's strategy is clearly to become a monopoly. They already started raising prices.

People always complain when Netflix doesn't get X.
If Netflix had every show, the price would be $100/month instead of $14
How do you know the phone won't upload your face to Apple at some random time in the future once you will be connected to the Internet?

Which is a trick they are using to avoid complying with the law. It doesn't make them something else than they are.
Ride-hail company? What's that? It's a taxi company.
