I'm personally a fan of the Nordic system: purchasing sex is illegal, as is pimping, but selling sex is perfectly illegal.
Interesting that this is called the "Nordic system". I might be wrong, but only Norway + Sweden have rules like this, while a rule against pimping and brothels seem more common in the Nordic countries.
After Sweden introduced their ban on purchasing sex, violence against sex workers reportedly went up, as did the number of "johns" going to Denmark for sex. Effectively, it had little impact on the number of customers, it made things worse for the sex workers, and the politicians started patting themselves on the shoulders for a job well done.
Only thing I've seen confirmed is that they shuttered a channel for promoting violence, advocating the use of molotov cocktails against police - T&C violation.
The real question you should be asking is, why did it take the US media(and most of the western media) so long to do any stories on this in the first place.
I'd definitely suggest asking themselves why they're following those news-outlets, if they are not covering various stories. (Also, I've been following "western media", it's in there)
I just replaced my old (original) Jolly with a 2017 Huawei P8... the Huawei feels slower, more sluggish, apps are prone to just hang or even freeze the phone for a few seconds.
Really wish there were still 1st-party Jolla phones.
I recently serviced my own MBP, after it had been by Apple Support due to a (Well-known) keyboard error. "Quite Good" is not how I'd describe their effort:(
"EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, who ordered Apple Inc. to pay back some 13 billion euros in taxes last year" No, the commission ordered Ireland to revert a long-standing case of corporate welfare done in a manner that violate the Common Market rules.
The stock-market is going to crash. The housing-market is going to crash. The gold-market is going to crash. The futures-market is going to crash. The fossil-fuel-market is going to crash. The cereal-market is going to crash. The drugs-market is going to... oki, perhaps not that one, but all others are going to crash, eventually. Trick is to figure out _when_.
Netflix "encourages" binge-watching - so when people have binged the first 6 seasons of Mentalist there, they'll head out to find the next 4 or 5 on the seedier side of the intertubes.
The iPod wouldn't have been a success if all the other MP3 players of the day didn't suck. My first 2 iPods were amazing devices. Firewire booting, I could carry a second hard drive to boot from.
Wouldn't say my first (2002) MP3 player sucked - it was my phone, supported SD cards, had a regular plug for headphones.
Apple marketed "better", to a crowd more eager and loyal.

I'd make a distinction between "western media" and "US media".
I live in Brussels (Capitol of EU), and heard about the protests earlier.

Yeah, Neo-nazism is on the rise, but we can't really send our own citizens away just for being dangerously stupid.
Can't help thinking back to when it was, "Yay, we got satellite Pay TV, no more ads!" ... couple of years later, there were ads.
51 of 52 weeks in the calendar are, "Before Christmas" - shop earlier.

In all fairness the apple support was quite good

Just curious ...
Is that 18 USD/hr after maintenance costs, fuel, vacation pay, sick-days etc?
The next to are obviously vice president Mike Pence, followed by Paul Ryan, speaker of the house.
It's shitstains all the way down ?
Testing w/o humans
Getting to/from a setup of two boxes on a string, spinning, in space, would be nightmarish and error-prone.
Am looking around for alternatives, and wondering if anyone here use either Flattr or Liberapay, either as a creator or a supported ?

Netflix is between 1-10 years behind on content, so if people find their content there they'll soon find that next episode is "only" on BitTorrent.
People really should release their studies of phenomenons within the first few days of said phenomenon's occurrence.
Unrelated, there's a Harry Potter AR game coming out from the same company as made Pokémon Go.
I tried windows 10.
It now has ads in the start-menu - not sure is improvement.
Imagine a world where bars don’t charge for the first two drinks a day but charge crazy fees for subsequent drinks.
That sounds like most bars back when I was a student...
The intent of the regulation is to keep stupid people from doing stupid things, another debate in itself.
Is a sad day when addiction is called "doing stupid things."

Sure it makes stuff "better" - it removes (not deactivates, but REMOVES) all addons ...
Based on this, I'd suggest to give Brigador a try, along with giving the audiobook a listen.
Remember when Google randomly flagged files in Google Docs for violating its terms of service?
Yes, since it happened again yesterday.
But don't worry, you can now request a review of the blocked file, by opening the file that you cannot open and requesting a review from within it.
