The paradox of tolerance: The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant.

A Raspberry Pi from years ago has USB 3.1. Restricting the latest iPhone is just laughable.

He's exaggerating for effect. No one would read an article about how a kitchen is really just a boring workplace.

I've never known or heard of a restaurant reserving "used" table butter or bread to another table, though I'm pretty sure the practice does happen. You need only notice how many people lick the butter knife to know how wrong that is.

Bread taken from a table is usually thrown away, since at the end of the night restaurants usually have more unused bread leftover than they can turn into croutons or breadcrumbs.

Flights do run out though. Lots of times the flight you select is not available on the actual airline website. I usually use those instead.

... at terrible restaurants.

You forgot that part. No real restaurant would recycle food to save 25 cents.

I think they're pronounced "skeets" now (xeets)

That quality is terrible though.

There is LinkedIn if you want a Facebook-like experience. There are 1-on-1 networking sites too, for mentors. Obviously bars or sports after work. Book clubs, parent groups, etc.

If you want company and are looking to your job, that's like trying to make money off of your friends. Kinda stupid.

No it doesn't. It means that your email is encrypted and they don't have a way to unlock it. If you don't add recovery info or print out your unlock codes, you will lose access. Just like it says.

2FA is more secure.

That's not true. Corporations can't commit crimes because they are just legal entities. People commit crimes.

Your main issue is that many things that you think are crimes (dumping waste, not paying employees, stiffing suppliers, accidents) are not crimes. They are civil or regulatory issues. If you care, you should pick one and lobby your state to make it a crime.

No, that assumes that resources and energy are unlimited. This is the main problem with any "grey goo" scenario.

And it wasn't people being killed that stopped WW2. People are killed in every war. The defensive weaponry was more powerful than the offensive weaponry. Machine guns were only used on defense because they were heavy. Also, artillery was not mechanized so it was hard to move everything forward quickly.
