> Not saying I agree with what they are doing, but give me a break. That's an incredibly misleading way of saying what's actually happening, which is removing books from public high school and below institutions which they deem as inappropriate.

Ah yes. Lets wait till they're adults with full time non-educational schedules and fully [under]developed ideas of the world and biases that are set in stone. They can do all their reading and learning then!

Don't forget, we the Republicans also wage war against liberal arts and higher education programs that might want to explore these so-called books/ideas in Universities as well.

Well that's just not going to happen without a fundamental change in our constitution or decades of common law protecting data collection at the expense of privacy.

>It shouldn’t be a specific company banning

It should because it must. Or we get nothing, not even national security. Privacy is a pipe dream. National Security is not.

From where I’m looking it really only needs apple to fuck off with this green/blue-text nonsense on iMessage to turn back the tide. Android would come storming back.

That’s the cord holding this entire apple-crazy mindset together. If shit was seamless between apps and devices, there wouldn’t be any concrete reason to think of a rectangular screen hidden behind a case as superior or inferior to any other. But being in club blue-text is how folks identify the “cool kids” from the masses and apply the pressure to conform.

You’ve gotta use your tiny, aggressive brain to realize that sensationalized headlines like this aren’t 100% correct. They aren’t printing whole ovaries in space on a janky prototype launch.

They’re conducting experiments, in the same way millions of experiments are conducted on Earth regarding human tissue engineering.

What experiments? You’d have to look at the mission statement. It could be as simple as taking a patch of cells up there and seeing if they adhere/behave differently in space.

With the right modules, yes. We just don’t use small lab spaces and small versions of large devices that you’re accustomed to because we don’t have to or want to.

We’ve managed to micronize everything else, including powerful computers. And because you’re used to seeing such tiny computers in the palm of you’re hand, you don’t consider that we can do the same to other larger instruments. Which is OP’s point.
