Tinder sucks. No way to know more about a person than pictures and brief one-liner. Also easy enough to create throwaway accounts. OKCupid and similar free dating services keep the bar higher than a gallery of random mugshots.
The fact that 150,000 people were jailed and/or tortured over their use of a piece of communication software proves that a revolution is needed. KMaybe 30,000 didn't actually use the software. It doesn't mean that abuse of the other 120,000 was justified.
Screw Erdogan -- hope the next revolution succeeds and the last thing he sees are the raised Kalashnikovs of a firing squad.
The "Ceaucescu treatment" is better than the old bastard deserves.
Assuming no human employees and current fire codes -- wear mask, walk in though exit, grab stuff, walk out through fire exit. Slashdotters are thinking of security in a far more sophisticated way than petty thieves do.

If you're spending YOUR money, don't buy junk with it. If your spouse wants to spend THEIR money, they can do what they like. Kids get what their parents want to get and can afford, not what THEY want, unless they have a job.
Also, 3.5mm will talk to any audio system made in the last 50 years or so, especially if you have a 3.5mm to 2x RCA/phono cable on hand. It's great, because I literally use audio equipment that I pick up off the street.
Fortunately, there are still countries where not having to pay an additional $50 for a set of proprietary headphones is important, and phones focused on developing markets can be (relatively) easily used and imported to the US..
Some Samsungs (mostly focused on developing/prepaid markets) like the J3 and J7 still have removable batteries. Why? Because the target demographic is poorer, and not having to buy a new phone every 12 months is important to them.
The Sony 4.4mm jack is analog. Besides, it's easy enough to bypass the "analog hole" with a 3.5mm adapter on Apple. This isn't DRM, more like cussedness and a way to nudge consumers to buy your standard, not buy a $10 set of phones at the local drugstore.
If a phone is thinner than 3.5mm, it's difficult to hold anyway. What's the obsession with making phones paper-thin at the expense of durability and utility anyway? A few mm of thickness isn't a portability issue. OTOH, it being hard to find a screen smaller than 5.5 inches is a real issue -- footprint detracts from portability much more than thickness.
Errr-merrr-gerd, my phone is 5-6mm thick, but I can replace the battery in 15 seconds, add storage using an SD card, and use any set of headphones made in the last few decades.
Currently insurance is guaranteed-issue in the US, and treating early-stage cancers is easier/cheaper than catching them late. So yeah, this will save money, and not by blacklisting.
Also, $500 is cheaper than tests for cancer like scopes and CAT scans.
CRISPR is also CHEAP. The expensive part is figuring out how to use CRISPR effectively. You have to: (1) speak for all of the cancer cells and their mutated variants (2) avoid autoimmune reactions -- i.e. only go after stuff that cancer cells make and normal cells don't
Once this happens, cancer treatments will actually become less expensive than now and not require toxic chemo or radiation. Problem with current chemo or radiation is that they go after cells indiscriminately. They're more LIKELY to kill cancer cells, but they'll kill any fast-dividing cells as well (see also: hair, skin surface, inside of GI tract).

Dicks? Comparing male organs (highly useful body parts that can also bring great pleasure) to minions of a dictator is doing the organs a disservice.
Exactly -- the revolution was justified. Hope the next one succeeds and Erdogan gets a firing squad.

It's an autopilot like in an aircraft, that still requires a human pilot(s) to be a systems manager.
They'd push in through the regular exit, grab stuff, run out through the emergency exit. Think "7/11 flash mobs."

Meanwhile my local convenience store (bodega to you, thanks) actually makes food which is good. Try that, Norby the Mixed Up Amazonbot.

No, what he's saying is that it's cheaper AND better. Sounds like a man who knows the value of a dinar.
The public cares more about what advertisers tell them is cool than what's functional. Otherwise, we'd all be driving Volvo 240s :)

No, they just put a more expensive part (a DAC) into something that's more likely to be lost or broken than a phone.
I would. Marriage isn't an obligation to buy junk for your family. Be a man, stand your ground.

What's wrong with being a Luddite?
Not that this is really Luddism -- interchangeable parts were a big part of the Industrial Revolution.
Don't buy hardware that doesn't adhere to established, working standards, like USB, USB-C, or 3.5mm jack.
The Pentaconn thing seems interesting, as it's still an analog connection.

Not everyone wants to give Google more personal info -- working phone #, alternate email, etc and so forth.
Also, this doesn't work well with standards-compatible email clients like Thunderbird or K-9.
