I believe Apple is very open to negotiating with standardizing organizations, when it makes sense for Apple and this would make perfect sense for them. At least they should give it a try.

The Russian Almaz space surveillance station, flown in the early '60s, was armed with a 23mm rapid fire cannon, which was successfully test fired.

I think it's the conspiracy theorists that piss me off the most. It's important to question authority, but it seems that most conspiracy theorists basically put their fingers in their ears and go "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" whenever they're confronted with evidence that doesn't support their ridiculous theories. When…

Buuuuuuut, ok, Google has a Hyper-super-duper-secure encription which is good until you remember that NSA has the master keys to decode All of your data without a judicial order.

I absolutely agree, that would be a normal driver's response, would be my response, taking a second to process what was going on - but wouldn't a Secret Service detail be a little more proactive than that? Now, of course, 50 years ago there might have been different processes in place for that kind of thing, who's…

I will repeat: the primary issue is not government regulation. The primary issue is that fixed-supply currencies are inherently deflationary and lead to exactly the kind of boom-and-bust value cycles that makes people not want to use them.

The U.S. and other countries are helping as much as they can because:

I have a Sony smartwatch with an app that automatically locks my phone when the watch is out of bluetooth range, or if I turn off the watch. I am not really the type to get in trouble with the police, but I'd imagine that folks that do could easily manage to turn off their smartwatch while wearing zip ties or cuffs.…

Well said.

Here in Canada, you are not required to give your identification to the police under any circumstances unless it pertains to a motor vehicle related issue. Some provinces require cyclists to provide ID. Outside of that, the police can do nothing, except take your photograph and fingerprints in cases of criminal code…

Do a little research on ancestry.com and find out how quickly and easily your ancestors and their relatives died. One of my ancestors in the 18th century had 14 children (that were named, so probably baptized, as stillbirths often weren't recorded and miscarriages certainly weren't). Five made it to their teens. …

I'm glad they made it super simple to opt out. Ideally, everything would be opt-in, but that's not realistic.
