A father in Georgia was just convicted of second degree murder, child cruelty, and other charges because he failed to prevent his kid from shooting up his school.

And if the people who try Invites discover that it isn't, in fact, superior to this "normal invite system"—whatever you believe it to be—that you claim is "established and battle-tested," they won't continue using it and will go back to what they were doing before.

>An alternative that gives some bells and whistles exclusively to the Apple users, and perhaps even is more ergonomic in practice.

Do you believe that all vendors should be forbidden from shipping any new application or feature that doesn't offer full interoperability and feature parity with everybody else or is that a limitation you believe should be applied only to Apple?

So they were cracking down on people spreading dangerous disinformation in the middle of a public health emergency. Okay.

What are some others?

Care to provide some examples of "certain opinions" that were "actively silenced?"

If you're using them to fill knowledge gaps, what scaffolding have you set up to ensure that those gaps aren't being filled with incorrect-but-plausible-sounding information?

India’s plutonium has already been spoken for.

No, that Patreon is "even considering" keeping the app is evidence that they get more valuable information about users and their habits from the app than they could from a website.

You’re not even going to build an actual strawman before claiming to have knocked it down?

Who's going to check it to make sure that "your responsible disclosure letter" actually is a responsible disclosure letter and not just nonsense?

I imagine it's more about discouraging scalping, regardless of what they may say about it.

No.

This is an extraordinary claim that demands at least some evidence in order to be taken seriously.

>A youth league bowling tournament would be an exception, given the preponderance of children.

To the contrary: if you honestly believe that somewhere between 10% and 25-33% of Maine adults are carrying for protection—and, once again, there is literally no way that this is even close to true—it would make even more sense that the adults there would have been carrying To Keep Our Children Safe(TM).

I've lived in Maine my entire life—from the most rural parts to Portland—and this is just nonsense. There is absolutely no way that even 10% of people are armed in public.

>Do you start shooting when the odds are that high that someone might shoot back? Maaaaybe, but not as soon as you might if you were surer that you would get away with it.

Perhaps you'd like to consider what JUST happened in Lewiston last October.
