  This is at least in large part how the locking down of smartphones began. People either weren’t around yet or don’t remember how much of a wild west smartphones were for malware, scams, etc. when they first reached mass market uptake. There was a while there where companies were blocking smartphones from their networks because of the security risks.

  It took Apple and their closely integrated/walled garden approach and insistence to sway the perception. And that’s what other manufacturers then decided to emulate.

  Yeah, what game even is this? Serious out of the loop sensation here.

  I think that the nukes did certainly affect Hirohito’s willingness to accept a surrender, together with the Soviet attack on Manchuria. There is little evidence to suggest though that it was the population’s sudden lack of support for the war effort or an attempted revolution that forced Hirohito’s hand. As such I don’t think we can even consider the nuclear bombings to have had much effect on the population, which is generally the point of terror bombings - to break the population’s resolve and force them to depose of their leadership.

  Terror bombings don’t work full stop. Even the nuking of Japan didn’t result in the populace giving up, and there’s ample evidence to suggest that it was at the very least the combined threat of the Russians shifting focus to the eastern theatre as well as the nukes that caused Japanese high command to conclude that their current losses would be infeasible to sustain. And even that wasn’t without internal controversy and disagreement.

  I can see absolutely no way this could not go wrong.

  Far too coherent, this was definitely written by an intern not DJT himself. ;-)

  Often transparently so. I remember the whole “toy bus” thing he pulled at one point during an interview.

  Seriously, he’d look so much less like a clown if he dropped the bronzer habit and horrendous comb-over that I am certain he does this on purpose to deflect criticism for his actions by drawing all the attention to how he looks.
  It’s like a diversion tactic, and sadly it’s working.

  Thanks for sharing that story. This is the kind of stuff that makes me miss the old internet (personal stories about interesting stuff, told in blog format without any kind of social media hype-train angle) and gives me a great appreciation for the kind of nerdy shenanigans engineers used to do.
