Apple had a couple of very harsh lessons in the past about letting a competitor control features that are strategically important. Google was dragging their feet on turn-by-turn navigation, so they had to go.
An Authorization for Use of Military Force by Congress is legally equivalent to a Declaration of War.
No, it's not. It's an unconstitutional shirking of their duty by the congress. The constitution does not permit them to delegate that power to the executive.
The Supreme Court decided that long ago
The Supreme Court often fails in its duty to uphold the constitution. How many more examples would you care to cite?
Certainly not any Ruling Party politician. Obama let Bush's torturers walk, so it would seem that there's an agreement between the Ruling Party brands to let each other's crimes go unpunished.
The constitution places the power to declare war and issue letters of marque with the congress, not the executive. It's up to the congress to tell the military who's an enemy, not the other way around.
Whoever has taken it upon themselves to do this has libeled Assange.
I'm getting really fucking sick of the media trying nail candidates on trivia, while they ignore the most important reasons why neither of the Ruling Party candidates are fit to hold any position of public trust. He told a joke about aircraft windows which a bunch of left-wingers didn't get. Who fucking cares?
THIS is one example why Willard's not fit to wield any governmental power ever again. This is depraved indifference to human suffering. I don't give a shit about him putting his dog on the roof of the car, and I don't give a shit about Obama eating dog meat.
But even aside from their many character flaws, there's an overarching reason to reject the Ruling Party candidates, and that's that neither of them will ever concede that our government is too powerful, and that we need to drastically reduce its powers.
No, the governent has nothing to invest. What it is, is an incompetent and utterly irresponsible gambler, wasting money earned by the people who perform productive work.
The TLC aims to take a new approach by contracting with a developer to create an app with one or more functions that would enhance the city's for-hire vehicle services and improve both customer and driver experiences
Uber already did exactly that. WTFUCK makes these apparatchiki think anyone needs a government agency to spend tax money on reproducing something that's already available in the market?
Huff and puff all you want, but he's correct. Ending child labor, just like the 40-hour work week, were made possible by the increased productivity resulting from capital investment. If you don't believe this, just look at any poor country.
I have no intention of buying a device that won't let me remove the ads, but for those who do, I think there might be a brisk business for a router that can block ad servers, along with a nice user-friendly UI to control it.
I remember plenty of stories about Apple planning to run a subscription service, too. The thing is, Apple studied all of the existing online music services before they launched the iTunes store, and figured out that people don't want to rent, they want to buy.
If you're setting up a farm on the moon, do you pressurize it to the equivalent of our atmosphere at sea level, or will half an atmosphere suffice? Do you use the same mixture that makes people comfortable, or do you bump the CO2 up to 10 or 15%? Do you use nitrogen, helium, or whatever you can cook out of the rocks to make up the rest of it? What about humidity? Temperature?
No-one who identifies himself as a rockstar developer is a rockstar developer, and no good developer would call himself a rockstar.
I agree 100%. I've had the good fortune to work with some extremely talented developers in my career, and the best of them tend to be very humble about their skills (mostly because they tend to seek out the company of other engineers who are as good as they are.) "Rockstar" is a bullshit term used by dotcom promoters and headhunters.

The last time congress officially declared war was World War II
Exactly. Every war that the US has fought since then has been illegal.

It's called dumping.
"Dumping" is a bullshit term for "we can't compete, so we're asking the government to intervene."
