Re: You'd think...
I would think phones could support two unlock pins, one for a restricted user and the second for an "admin" (adult) user. So a parent could still use the phone normally but set restrictions for use by a child.
This would also be useful when sharing your own phone with a child - like when travelling and letting them use your phone for games or other distractions.

Re: Simplest solution
>I think you can make a caveat for your own code,
I think the opposite is true. The problem is that "have that model in your head" makes it harder for you to see things that violate that model. You designed the code with certain assumptions, maybe these assumption are wrong. Another competent code reviewer, won't be limited by your mental model or assumptions so may see things you did not.
If you go back to review it after your mental model is just a foggy memory, I think you'll have a better chance of finding missed bugs.
SpaceX Falcon 9 grounded again after second stage hits wrong part of ocean
Re: Too fast?
Once a system is working well, meeting or beating expectations, then it is time for the cost cutters to mess with things since money is obviously being left on the table. Sometimes (often?) that backfires. Boeing being the best current example. Hopefully SpaceX does follow that example, although X's performance might be putting some financial pressure on Musk.
Recall the Recall recall? Microsoft thinks it can make that Windows feature palatable
Re: tries to prevent passwords, national ID numbers, and credit card numbers from being recorded
And even if Microsoft is successful at filtering out sensitive data, they have still created the software infrastructure that a hacker can exploit to reliably collect that data. So now some simple compact malware may be all that's needed do the job.
At least they are making someone's job easier.

Re: Not surprising at all
The "Northern Outpost" also does not have Super PACs. In the US Super PAC contributions are not only unlimited, they are anonymous. And there is Trumps latest con to raise money and sell influence - Truth Social stock. Any person or country that wants to influence Trump's "policies" just has to help run up the stock value and be there when he is allowed to sell out.

Re: Bog Zech?????
By effectively bringing auto workers of all major manufacturers into one union, North American auto unions became a bigger monopoly than any of the car companies. So the focus of the industry became about satisfying the unions rather than customers / car owners. It took outside competition to effectively break that monopoly.
What we need is effective anti-monopoly laws that can be applied to both companies and unions so that neither can can completely monopolize critical market segments.

Re: Hyperbole
>The Hyperloop (Elons version) company was shutdown just before Christmas 2023
I always assumed Hyperloop was actually building his secret underground head quarters. They must have finished so they are not needed anymore. I am just surprised he has not acquired a dormant volcano somewhere for his backup launch site.

Re: Douglas X-3 Stiletto, anybody?
I have to wonder what having all that extra surface area does to the overall Aerodynamic drag. Creating a fleet of passenger aircraft that get there faster but use a lot more fuel would not seem like a step forward. Although I understand that with ships, for a fixed width, the longer the hull the less the drag so it may be OK.

Re: If you are up to no good or just protesting
>"they" know what phone you bought,
You don't buy the phone from a store, you buy it from the shady guy who buys them in bulk from the store, as shown in the documentary "Better Call Saul".
So one might expect these geo fenced warrants only provide the police with a list of innocent bystanders. But if the list is short then they would also make "good enough" suspects.
