With fdroid, if an app asks for permissions it doesn't need I can just download it and take them out of the code.
Yep, completely reasonable. Modify the source and recompile and sideload all of your apps. Also make sure you keep up with new releases merging in changes with your modifications, rebuilding, and re-installing by hand.
Install fdroid and then install apps that only ask for permisions you are willing to grant.
Or, install from Google Play and then install apps that only ask for permissions you are willing to grant. Or, sideload apps that only ask for permissions you are willing to grant.
The only issue would be that each state gets +2 regardless of their size. So very small states like Wyoming get more than double the number of votes they'd get otherwise based on population (but still a vastly smaller number than large states).
I can't believe no one has even mentioned this, but I recall the controversy being the "winner takes all" aspect of the EC. That allows situations where a candidate can "win" handily w/ the popular vote, but lose the EC because of a close loss in a few key states. Which is exactly what happened in 2016.
If EC votes were distributed equally between candidates based on win %, then it'd be closer to a majority wins situation (setting aside the +2 mentioned above).
For example, suppose you had 3 states: S1, S2, and S3 with 15, 10, and 10 EC votes respectively, and a population of 1500, 1000, and 1000 respectively. You have candidates C1 and C2. C1 received 1000 popular votes in S1, 499 in S2 and 499 in S3. Candidate C2 received 500, 501, and 501, respectively.
Candidate 1 received 1998 popular votes. Candidate 2 received 1502 popular votes. Candidate 1 won S1 and received all 15 EC votes. Candidate 2 won S2 and S3, and received 10 EC votes for each for a total of 20.
Candidate 2 wins, despite taking a large loss in the popular vote.
Sorry comrade. Your handlers may have told you that Americans are triggered by words like "sheep", because we pride ourselves on freedom, and not being part of the pack. Be that as it may, we're learning about your tactics. Your're going to need to figure out a different attack vector.
Does Apple only advertise to white people? Yet apparently, that's their demo. Is Apple seen as only advertising to white people? Are Apple's investors seen as supporting sales to whites only?
Or cure themselves without the 500k+ of medical debt
Yes, because the chances that some "biohackers" in their basement are going to come up with the cure to HIV is very likely. Hundreds of billions of dollars and universities and medical organizations around the world have been "hacking" it for 40 (?) years now.
Anyway, we agree. Let them do it. Just get contracts in place so nobody can sue when the inevitable happens.
Sorry but unlike you, I'm not prepared to give up my freedom to think for myself and just buy into the libtard lockstep social agenda brainwashing.
And comments like this can only be posted by a Russian propagandist. I mean really, it's comical. You are calling someone a "libtard" for suggesting that purposefully inflammatory, divisive, and fake posts by aggressive foreign powers should be called out into the open.
Someone has to be paying you to be this retarded. There's no other excuse.
and that's totally different from clinical trials of new medicines for deadly diseases...how exactly?
Because they take place under the supervision of real doctors? Because they are based on trials in non-human test subjects? Because they are based on years or decades of research?
The Founding Fathers understood the tyranny of the majority. Do you think anything that 51% agree with is ALWAYS a good idea to be enforced by the full power of the law?
Maybe you ought to give a specific example of what atrocities are being forced on you by the full extent of the law. Taxes? Not being allowed to marry your sister?
It gives less populated states a say in a system that would otherwise make them irrelevant. Not a lot of a say, but some. States like Montana and Alaska are valuable resources for the United States and I'd like to keep them.
While I expect Apple could help these communities by opening up a store
Um, how? By opening up a store that sells completely inessential products that they can't afford anyway?
And chances were for Apple they didn't take race into consideration on where their stores are placed.
Chances? Capitalism is blind to race. Apple's investors don't give a crap to whom they sell product. Their main demo could be rapist racist pedophiles and that'd be just fine.
Probably from their Bentleys, using gold-plated guns, I suppose.
That's extremely naive.
We are all the victims of the games of the powerful elite of the world. Whether it's fighting wars for corporate dominance in the name of freedom, being locked out of investments because we aren't privy to insider trading info, having our government treasuries fleeced by banks that receive bailouts, having our air and water filled with toxins so someone can post a profit this year, and so on.
The e-mail with Jr. was not from a Russian operative.
Define "operative". I define it has someone operating on behalf of Russia or Russian investors. So yes, it was.
If you deny that, maybe you could explain their motivation? What did this person stand to gain? Just a concerned Russian citizen then? Duh.
But they didn't conspire and it didn't affect the election results.
You trolls can repeat this until you're blue in the face. We aren't listening anymore. We're going to listen to the results of the people that are researching this, that have access to information and facts. You, and I, know nothing at this point.
Congress are nut jobs ?
I'm all for investigating everyone. The R's had 5 years of investigation into Hilary. What came of that anyway?
But anyway, as a final thought, ruminate on this: R's own this country right now. They can do anything they want. Why is a special council investigating Trump et. al and not the obvious criminal here Hilary Clinton? A little common sense, and a bit of Occam's Razor will serve you well here.
No, it didn't. This may come as a surprise, but just saying something doesn't make it true. You see how I linked a story from a reputable news source? One that includes citations and includes their sources? Welcome to Facts 101, where don't swallow your baseless troll crap anymore.
And that's the most that came out of that little chestnut. Thus the debunking.
That's enough for me. Putting aside whether there's a crime, it's f'ing awful to collude (not in the legal sense, relax) with an aggressive foreign power for your own gain. America first, not the Republican party, and not T's investments.
Besides, why do Russiphobes continue to fuck this chicken after it came out that not only did the Clinton campaign solicit the Steele Dossier
Curious. Why is there no investigation? Why can't the sitting president, with a majority congress get an investigation into this obvious crime by Hilary? Why is there instead an investigation into Trump et. al? Why have multiple people from Trump's crew been indicted? Why did *nothing* come out of years of prior investigation into H's various financial and political dealings? 5+ years of digging and nothing? The Republican party has *all* the power right now. What gives?

So, logging as root without password works on High Sierra if there's a root account without password?
Just works with whatever is the default user configuration. I never modified anything other than creating an OSX user for myself.
What's even better is that if you have remote desktop turned on, anyone can connect and login as root.
Put your Citations where your foot/mouth is.
You first. "it just doesn't seem ..." isn't a citation, or a fact, or otherwise useful data.
it just doesn't seem too likely that iOS would be affected to any great extent, if at all...
I have this great bridge I'm selling at an incredible discount. Interested?

You are *always* prompted to grant permissions.
Yup, I want OS-level selectable permissions I can apply to each application, whenever I wish ... and if that utterly breaks an application too bad.
Good thing Android added that two releases ago. Phew! We almost had a problem on our hands there.
No links. No data. Another rambling troll post.
Consider yourself disregarded and irrelevant. Keep posting though after all it's your job.
Oh noes me grammar not well? You reveal yourself by your inability to do much other than hurl insults. Mark of a pure troll.
Consider yourself disregarded and irrelevant.
Dying a painful humiliating death because you poisoned yourself isn't better than nothing.
Dying years earlier than you would have otherwise isn't better.
Damaging yourself such that I have to pay your medical bills isn't better.
No links. No facts. No data.
Like 99% of ACs here you're here to troll. Claim a bunch of shocking things with nothing to back it up. Try to get people pissed off. Shameful.
No one is listening anymore to this.
it would be proportional to the number of voters in those states.
Um, it is, for the most part.

The only issue would be that each state gets +2 regardless of their size. So very small states like Wyoming get more than double the number of votes they'd get otherwise based on population (but still a vastly smaller number than large states).

Hundreds of billions of dollars and tens of thousands of researchers over decades has gone into solving things like HIV and cancer.

We don't have to. The people involved will soon die off from ineffective treatment at best, or die from being treated with untested, dangerous drugs.
