Because apple only maintains phones on an individual level?
And probably literally everyone who writes apps for iOS, as they would now need to account for everyone’s potential behavior.
It’s not “only”. Especially if you had to account for every possible variation in hardware. It’s more complexity and that means more opportunity for bugs.
Because everyone always goes out and gets the new phone?
Yes. It’s an issue.
ETA: some quick searches and it seems the most common phone in the 13, with around 60% being the fourteen or older.
Ironically, the reason she can’t is because it’s a physical switch.
If she turned it off for you , then the physical indicator on the switch would be wrong, but she has no ability to move the switch.
The thing is… arch…. You can actually fix. Most times.
Unlike the proverbial him.
(Not that you should have to.)
First… yes, as far as it goes. That said there’s some problems with it on the whole.
Keep in mind, this is a thought terminating cliche saying by Vulcans to explain “the logic” of self sacrifice.
The thing about logic is it can be used to justify all sorts of horrific things. (For example, the us nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.)
It’s also important to note that, in general, I don’t really disagree with it here. That doesn’t make it any less of a cliche or problematic when applied to things like social policy.
Consider Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Some needs are themselves more weighty than others.
that guy’s need to get to work on time doesn’t outweigh my need to dress safely, even if there’s a dozen of them behind me- and never will.
Similarly, if the needs of the many (say, to feel safe) are juxtaposed against the few, whose need is to stay alive…. The needs of the few outweigh the many. One might say “but that doesn’t happen”… but we do. All the time.
Right now, the most extreme example are all the people that defend Israel’s right to genocide by insisting that Israel has a right to defend itself.
That said. Billionaires don’t need to make money. And they don’t even need to exist, for that matter.
Eh. Having a huge dick isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Big dicks tend not to get hard and flop around.
And also blaming the witches for their problems.
Like bro? You were born with a tiny dick. Blame yer daddy.
Yeah.
So, total societal collapse is rather unlikely. But a storm or earthquake or fire knocking out power, internet, etc for a week or two is…. Extremely likely.
So while the semi full of ammunition would’ve been more helpful in the latter scenario, it’s not so helpful in the far, far more likely scenario.
Yup. So during the Abbasid caliphs, religious scholars weren’t as influential. They were definitely Muslim, but they weren’t opposed to science.
But then, the religious scholars became both more influential and more conservative. The secular scholars started asking questions that were, how shall we say, uncomfortable?
You can also see this shift in the transition from a more rationalist Mu’tazilite tradition to Ash’arite.
This is the inevitable shift. As science seeks an understanding of the universe, through observation and experimentation rather than faith it’s finding an understanding that best explains a universe without god.
It is inevitable that the religious mind either abandons their faith, or abandons science. (Unless of course we stumble onto evidence for god. But, I don’t believe that’s gonna happen.)
Ultimately, if god existed and created everything… science would be another form of worship.
For the record, you should all have a go bag. Not like doomsday prepper go bags with a dozen cross bows and a semi truck full of ammunition and shit, but some clothes, some food. Medication and basic first aid, etc. copies of all your important documents.
Especially in the US with how FEMA is going. Have a plan. Have supplies for the plan.
But… eh…. Prepping for this ? Naw.
For the record, the Arab world wasn’t always anti-science. It was religion that got them there.
Not all authoritarian regimes are anti-science. Some would be very interested in things for domestic use, it might be slower, and such, though.
You’re not wrong, but like. Imagine, if you will, Hegseth needing to be sober to speak into a microphone or tweet something out. Or otherwise be a SecDef.
On a general note: IQ means nothing. I mean a lot of IQ tests use pattern recognition tasks that can be helpful but still, having a high IQ says nothing about you ability as developer
to put this another way… expertise is superior to intelligence. Unfortunately we have this habit of conflating the two. intelligent people some times do some incredibly stupid things because they lack the experience to understand why something is stupid.
Being a skilled doctor or surgeon doesn’t make you skilled at governance. two different skillsets.
Seriously.
Somebody should put a breathalyzer interlock device in that guys mic. And his devices for posting.
Studies clearly show that a person who has cheated once is 3-10 times more likely to cheat again. It depends on the study, but the most generous 3x in the next five years.
So, as someone who’s been cheated on… I can say with certainty that I would never be able to be intimate or vulnerable with my ex. I’m not talking about sex. I’m talking about actual intimacy. It takes trust, and that trust has been broken.
I wouldn’t give an absolute “don’t do it” because everyone is different and every relationship is unique, and I certainly wouldn’t chime in without being asked, but I doubt very much the relationship you have now will ever be what you had before.
It doesn’t really matter what you do, or how you’ve changed. The thoughts will still be there, insidiously causing doubt.
Technically, you can give your senator some input and tell them how to vote. They can also call in witnesses and get commentary.
The point about scotus being appointed is that it’s still a political process, they’re still doing politics.
It’s missing “idiotic” in the description, somewhere, though.
They’re supposed to.
It’s all part of the service, right? Also losing internet could be dangerous in the same way a landline phone cable is. (Ie preventing someone with VOIP phone service from calling for help.)
It can also cause harm for people who work from home, etc.
