Lando Calrissian: That wasn't part of the deal! You said the $6.99 six-pack of Smartwater was the default order on my Dash button! Darth Bezos: I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.
What possible reason could someone have for returning it other than it was defective?
Here's a few I can think of. Wrong kind: accidentally bought a framing hammer when they needed a claw hammer. Wrong size: too heavy for user. Wrong color: clashes with the rest of her collection. Wrong price: found same item for half the price elsewhere.
conflating the rights of individual companies to censor their own platform as they wish as if that conflicted with the Constitution, you're an idiot.
Individual companies should be able to censor their own platforms as they wish. The problem here is some representatives apparently want to compel Google to censor it as the representatives wish. See the difference? Compulsion of speech is just as much of a violation of freedom of speech as censorship is.
It turns out that a majority of people prefer cruft -- if it's useful. That's how Chrome has taken over the web from Firefox - they put in the cruft people want but don't know they want.
Firefox, or any other browser for that matter, could easily recapture the web browser market by blocking auto-play videos.
Think your games will remain as they are? Think again.
Or they can simply modify the edition the Chinese get. IIRC, Bungie had to make modifications to Myth for the European market, because some countries had a thing against blood in games, so they made the blood green. I think they also made enemies that exploded turn into confetti instead of a pile of carnage, but that might have been another game. I think Wolfenstein had to do the same thing in Germany because of the swastikas. Sure, it's probably a pain in the neck, but it can be done.
Why is this a story? It hardly qualifies as news for nerds or stuff that matters. It just seems like an attempt by editors to foment flamebait material.
I think the moderation system is broken. I was being sarcastic--going for funny. The summary's grammar is vague, but if you read between the lines "burying them underground" refers to the greenhouse gasses.
(INSERT SCARY PROBLEM) is due to overpopulation. All of them. The answer is not to waste time and money trying to treat all the symptoms; the answer is to fix them all at once by setting a goal to reduce the world's population by 75% by the year 2100. All other problems will solve themselves.
But as long as we have ridiculous ideas about the sanctity of life and every sperm is sacred in the heads of people you won't see a solution to that problem.
You've provided a self-defeating argument. If you don't believe in sanctity of life, then what's the problem with people dying from (INSERT SCARY PROBLEM)?

If Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is so morally great, why would he give $$ millions on campaign and to activists to tax other people instead of just giving the money to poor?
It's always strange how rich people ask for tax increase on everyone else, they could give their money at any time, no new laws required.
Because they're more interested in appearing to care about an issue than actually fixing it. An increase in homelessness results in more power for the government, which means more government employees, which means more Salesforce licenses.
(For those less familiar with English, Senator Howard did not list foreigners, aliens, and families of diplomats as three different excluded groups. If this were a list then the third item would not start with "who". An alternative typesetting which preserves the meaning and is perhaps easier to read would be: "foreigners (aliens) who belong to the families..."; of course, parentheses don't carry over well into speech, so here they have been replaced with commas to mark the Senator's pauses.)

It really sucks, but we have a history of letting people go when it's politically expedient...
And sometimes even when it isn't

I'll strongly disagree with you, and also disagree that progress and growth has to equate us turning into the Bay Area.
Just to hedge my bets, I'm registering austinpoopmap.com!

But it IS Windows 10. The name is "Windows 10 Lite". See? It's right there in the name!
I think a great name for this would be "Windows Pane".

have to be offset by planting trees or by burying them underground.
How does burying trees underground help reduce emissions?
If they bury the trees, they can't be cut down to be burned, duh!
Politics is dominated by money.
Trump spent about half of what Clinton did on his way to the presidency.
The internet enabled fake news in a way people were unprepared for.
Which had no discernible effect.
The Democrats were too concerned with doing the right thing instead of winning.
Yeah, right.
And a funeral with some ads for real estate agents.
Life insurance seems like a better match. Then again, I'm not using Machine Learning(TM), so I could be wrong.
The lawsuit said Apple violated federal antitrust laws by requiring apps to be sold through the company's App Store
Even this is not correct: Distribute in-house apps from a web server
If you're still learning, I'd expect your programs to crash occasionally, too.
If you're still learning, and your programs crash, I'd expect you to fix what's causing them to crash.
Remember, if anything bad happens in your life... or anything even bothers you... at all... it was probably climate change.
Before you laugh, remember, Roger Federer lost the U.S. Open because of Climate Change.
They'll have to make up their minds, they can't have both.

You buy a computer, sell it, and now Apple and Amazon say you can't resell it?
No, you can still sell it. Apple & Amazon are saying you can't resell it on Amazon.
We just make them all male. That worked in Jurassic Park, right?
I thought they made them all female?

Shouldn't we first find out if people have an informed view of the issues on the ballot before we encourage them to go out?
I'm not saying it was aliens, but...
