People who run businesses, and make their living from them, do not typically shut them down in a snit. The Berkeley case didn't involve shutting down a line of business.
Except that now we have "-ing" words in a sequence with a "-tion" word, and that has to be considered. There's two different grammatical indicators pointing in two different ways. The law is ambiguous.
Got any actual citations? I find the idea ridiculous on the face of it. Numerous scientific organizations are very concerned about global warming, many of which don't cater to climate scientists. You're talking about conspiracies of physicists, chemists, and other scientists.
The "smearing" sounds like projection. Deniers often attack scientific reputations because wither the denier is wrong or the scientists are fraudulent. I've seen no evidence of smearing beyond what people doing bad science get.
And, once more, you're claiming that an entire branch of science is a fraud, despite being practiced worldwide by people with all sorts of funding support. That's the sort of extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence, which deniers do not supply.
Exactly what information was available before the install? It seems to be easier to assume rather than to find out. In specific, did the vibrator app notify its users that it collected enough information for personally identifiable vibrator use? Or did it emphasize the link between phone and vibrator?
Android app permission screens suck big-time. There's no penalty for asking for more permissions than the app actually needs, because users typically just click through because there's not much they can do. The permissions are per app, rather than in iOS, where some permissions are granted as the need comes up. There's no way to tell, in Android, what a given app is going to do with its permissions. It's as if it were designed to blame the users rather than to assist them.
I'm going to surmise that you do not have a disability and likely don't have a loved one with one. You might change your attitude with one.
You can learn a different language. You can get educated. You can get access to a computer. However, if you're deaf, you're deaf and there's nothing that can be done about it.
It's always going to be more expensive to cater to disabilities than to ignore the disabled. Just because something's distributed for free doesn't mean it should be exempt from the law. In general, things produced with tax money should be as available as feasible for everyone.
What we have here is a problem with a law that wasn't foreseen when the law was passed, because there was no means to distribute videos widely for free, and accommodations that work on a small scale don't work on a large one. That doesn't mean that the idea behind the law is bad.
What we need to do is to have a dispassionate discussion of how to change the law, since this is definitely an undesired consequence. However, politics being what it is right now, the only change to the law would be abolishing it entirely, and making things needlessly hard on some people.
If you're at an exact point with no uncertainty, you can't know anything about your momentum. Since there's limits to momentum in the physical Universe, you can't be at an exact point with no uncertainty.
In real life, I type 1 and that's it. On the other hand, I could type 0.9999999, continuing the sequence until my fingers got tired, and it still wouldn't be equal to 1. Mathematically, what I'd get if I typed an infinite number of 9s is simple and understandable, but that can't be represented in the real world without additional notation (such as an ellipsis).
The thing about Windows updates is that Microsoft has apparently done extensive research and concluded that most people don't actually want to use their computers when they turn them on.
My experience with iPhone OS updates is that they tend to make things better until they don't, since Apple will provide updates past when the hardware will run them well. That's why I always delay a few weeks and Google the update.
Considerably less than a century, unfortunately. At least well into the 1940s, native children were kidnapped from their families, got haircuts, were beaten severely if they tried to keep any of their culture, and taught to be second-class citizens.
A "complex relationship"!?!?!? With the Nazi murder of 6 million Jews?!?! WTF IS "COMPLEX" ABOUT THAT?!?!! THEY HAVE SOME SUPPORT FOR THE RESULTS?!?!?!
Of course it's a complex relationship. Around here, most people agree that there was a holocaust, that Nazi Germany murdered about six million Jews (their other victims are less well known), and that it was an evil thing to do. Nice and simple. It's when you try to justify industrial megamurders that things get complex.
There have been plenty of people who thought that civilized people were weak. Ever since civilization gained a military advantage over their enemies (usually technical), plenty of people have found otherwise. Before WWII, Germany and Japan thought the US was basically weak.
To address one point, while the development of science may have been influenced by the nature of Christianity, there are scientists of all religions (and quite frequently no religion). There are plenty of Japanese scientists, and a couple of centuries ago Japan was a thoroughly backward nation. In the meantime, we have a lot of idiot Christians in our country who reject science (but not its products), so it's a matter of degree.
Western civilization dominates the planet and will continue to do so, because no other form is nearly as efficient at making stuff and killing people. Nobody here would give a crap about Islam if Muslims weren't sitting on a lot of easily accessible oil. The importance of Middle East oil is temporary, and when it's mostly over we'll treat the Middle East rather like we treat sub-Saharan Africa. At that point, Muslims can Westernize or be irrelevant.
Describing the Bible as loaded with contradictions is typical of people who have no first-hand experience, and blindly trust people who have a militant hatred rooted in vague memories of the King James translation.
As one who has read some of the Bible, and has Christian friends with fairly deep theological knowledge, I'm telling you that the Bible is loaded with contradictions.
At one time, the most advanced civilization, highly tolerant of others, was Muslim. Not that many centuries ago, Christianity had most of the same abuses as Islam has now. The important thing is the people, not their religious text. Christians are perfectly capable of disregarding their scripture to come up with beliefs that have no basis ("prosperity gospel", which appears to me to go a long way back). There's no reason Muslims won't do that.

The list is a set of exemptions to a law, and it's reasonable to interpret an ambiguous set of exemptions minimally.

When Vista came out, it was crap. It improved as time went on, and became quite usable by the time 7 came out.

I taught an introduction to C programming class once, and had a deaf student. He had his own interpreter assigned.
That doesn't scale worldwide.
This is about demanding equal access to material produced partly with tax money. If I help pay for it, I should have as much access as the next guy.
"Where there is no space" doesn't sound meaningful to me.
In which case you'd have no problem sketching one out.
Which is why Heisenberg never wanted anyone to tell him the momentum of his car keys.
