That quotation and the other one in the article seem to be from comments on the social media posts, not comments from people actually on the cliff.

Fair point, but we should celebrate any privacy wins we can get. That privacy is a consideration at all is a good start.

It's a render. Sorry for the Reddit link, but this seems to be where the artist posted and discussed it:

It's complicated and the implications and scope are not entirely clear.

The court stated that creative works such as web design qualify as a form of speech, and that the first amendment does not allow the government to use law to force creators to speak any message — especially one with which they disagree. Essentially, any business with something that might be considered speech as its product or service may be free to discriminate against protected classes. We aren't sure how far this will extend in practice, but I expect many will test it.

In this case of this post, it depends on what is being sold.

Edit: wrote this before my coffee and thus neglected to point out what replies said: political affiliation is not a protected class in America and these signs are a bit misleading. See replies.

I found a real estate listing for the house (yes, you could own this beauty), but I don't know if posting it would count as doxxing per community rules, so I won't. In any case, this is not a business.

They want £300k+. Based on what was written, the whole idea was minimal maintenance and maximum room for parking. The back yard/back "garden" is the same as the front: just a bunch of tile. The interior is less offensive, but just what you'd expect: very modern, lots of black and white and bold shapes.

I really don't disagree with you, but if we want democrats to show up and vote, this is not the attitude that will make it happen. People largely believe their votes don't matter. If the candidate is bad anyway, why even bother? I'm not saying this negativity is the only (or biggest) problem, but it is very discouraging.

Let's get better candidates where we can, but we need to go full speed with the best we have. If democrat voter turnout was better, there would be no contest, and maybe we could start having a real dialogue about improvements instead of just fighting to avoid more far right extremism.

The 19-year-old reportedly told family he was terrified. It was Father's Day and his father is very interested in the Titanic, so he went anyway. He was just trying to impress and relate to his father.

Surprisingly, the hull was primarily carbon fiber with some titanium.

Good news: it is not iOS only. I'm not sure why the poster put that in the title. It is going to be cross-platform. The beta sign-ups are evenly split between platforms. @hariette has posted about this a few times.
