Who manages the exposure to the devices a children has? Where did they get these devices from in the first place?

Where are all these poisoned children getting the cash to buy these things?

This example makes no sense to me. An attacker is potentially logging on to the computer and submitting empty passwords to get in. And this is what we're trying to prevent at the expense of having an unclear UX?

That's not the argument being made. Nobody said that.

These people say they don't want all this power centralized to certain individuals, will in the next breath claim that government should seize assets after a certain amount. They want centralized control, they just want their preferred

There really aren't that many billionaires. Most of what we refer to as billionaires are people who have a large equity stake in companies they run. So are we saying once your equity becomes to large you have to start selling shares? P

Yeah, I don’t think Damore has anything to do with the topic of the wider thread, or anti-trust for that matter.
