Because the goal is equality of outcome. Like I said equality between people is not measured in "how much stuff you are given"

So then the answer isn't "its a google monopoly" its 'google choose to work with the nonprofit and we didn't'. Im sure the 1200 company strong industry nonprofit would have loved to have apple at the table for a collaborative development on an open standard. They've done it before with usb c, they chose not to. If anything google would be asserting monopoly over other people who choose to provide RCS services, not anyone that chooses not to. I get it though, if I was Apple I'd be terrified of having to compete with googles net infrastructure, they would lose unless they got amazon on their team.

What's to stop apple from using their own servers in accordance with the published specs from the GSMA, the industry nonprofit that started and steers the project by committee? Im not putting it past google to be a monopoly either, but I can't find any info that suggests apple is being shut out of doing it themselves. ATT has their own implementation away from googles RCS servers, or at least used to.

Transfering video via cord is actually apples suggested way of sending full res videos to android phones because Apple is too lazy and monopolous to adopt RCS.

And who could blame you

Lmfao you portrayed relevent scientific information contextualized with the human scrotum and you're telling me you did all that forgetting your name? Amazing.

What a comment, what a name, what a purpose. Claps.

If the two people didnt start in the exact same place then they were already unequal though. So the equity option just makes them closer to equal, equality is not measured in simply 'how much you get for free'. I work with people with disabilities getting more 'free' support than you or I will ever see, are they more equal than the rest of us for it?

Nah, this has got to be about the radio waves that make up cell phone signal which is non ionizing radiation just like FM radio is. Good to regulate because of how close we keep phones to us. Extended exposure to too high levels can cause problems.

I was gonna say, regardless of weather or not it provides more good than bad, it puts the driver in a position to be a target.

In France I imagine it's a choice more often than not, but if its an issue when it's no longer a choice, then a blanket ban on them in school poses the exact same problem as now many women who want to, no longer can or they face legal punishment. This ban likely applies to teachers too who are clearly old enough to make their own decisions.

Yeah, that's what I mean there's no aspect of safety there. I don't think it's less sexist to legislate that no girls or women in schools can wear them them than it is to choose to wear one though. And if we just assume it's sexist anyway, who is it hurting? It seems like over reach to use sexism as the reason to ban something that only effects the person who choses to do it. Does France ban any other sexist clothing, or just the ones muslim women wear? That may be a good insight into their decision making.

France has banned Hijabs and Abaya robes in schools not just Niqabs. Egypt is preventing people from hiding their face in school, France is doing a lot more. I don't think it's directly comparable considering the Niqab bans at least have a safety component. Whos safer because school kids cant wear head scarfs?

I mean have you seen american cops? Hunt is probably a pretty apt term in respect to how its actually gonna go down.

A wire in a Pringles can makes for a fabulous directional can-tenna

If Putin was more open to diplomacy then he'd probably be safer from international arrest, since it would kill diplomacy to speak of arresting the person you're negotiating with. But if you're the one who killed diplomatic efforts yourself, well you gotta imagine they're thinking of other ways to deal with you.

Im laughing at the people blaming his Asia trip like this isn't exactly the kind of flubs Biden makes usually. This is just him guys, he's fucking old and he's gonna keep being old.

lmfao bro it's a public process, no ones hiding who introduced, debated, or amended these bills and google is free. All you have to pay is attention.

The American Rescue Act was a budget reconciliation bill made by floor democrats, all Biden did was sign it, that doesn't make it his legislation. The exact same is true about the Inflation reduction act. The CHIPS act is not of Bidens design either, and the gun violence act is hardly on the same level as the Infrastructure bill. A 'signature' bill doesn't just mean any bill he signed weather he was part of the drafting, negotiations, etc. or not. The only one he has put that level of his own work into is the infrastructure act, that belongs to him. Plus even if they were his bills, your arguement then would be a budget reconciliation, something that is legally requred to be passed every session of congress, was his greatest feat? Thats not a better look than his actual signature bill being cut to one third.
