Feels like you are missing the sarcasm..

..I hope.

7Z7··on Adnan Syed, of ‘Serial’ Podcast, Gets a Retrial in Murder Case
>As a listener, this meant I honestly felt like I had wasted a huge amount of time on the show.

That seems like such a weird conclusion to me.

7Z7··on Reality Check: Have Leave campaigners changed their minds?
>> And it's all come out AFTER the result.

>The is actually a very good point. People are acting like it was all incredibly obvious that voting Leave was a terrible thing to do. But it wasn't obvious before the vote. At least not to the average voter.

I cannot disagree with you hard enough. All of the things that are "coming out" now were refuted during the lead up to the referendum, not only by the Remain campaigners, but by the experts the Leave campaign was so clever to disqualify. The was a handful of people/companies/economists that sided with Leave, while the lion's share was solidly with Remain - and they all said it was a terrible thing to do.

7Z7··on UK votes to leave EU
How did you get to "absolute" and "all borders around the World", from "an important civil right" that we granted outselves within the regions we control?

Or just be colonised by the British at some point in your past..

I'm Irish and I voted, and my wife is from an Asian commonwealth country and she voted. Neither of us are British citizens

About protecting restricted airspace?

7Z7··on “Most of the time, I don’t feel like a girl, I feel like a programmer”
It becomes a non-issue until the next time someone reminds you that it was because you are a woman, are Black, are gay, are whatever. Seems like it'll be a constant struggle for you until it isn't for everyone else, if you know what I mean.
7Z7··on Study finds women are responsible for half of some online abuse on Twitter in UK
Additionally it wasn't looking at broad online abuse, it was looking specifically at (according to the Guardian reporting of this study) the uses of the word "slut" and "whore" in terms of online misogyny.
7Z7··on TSA gave my MacBook Pro to another passenger at LAX, and now it's gone
That seems like the exact opposite of what the GP is suggesting.

7Z7··on Chrome removes Backspace to go back
On OS X, I think you can just right-click the window name and select the parent folder you want to go up to.

I think there is also a "show breadcrumbs" option in the preferences for Finder, which may or may not give more of the functionality you want.

7Z7··on Gboard: Search, GIFs, emojis and more from your iPhone keyboard
Good news for you. John Gruber reviewed Gboard and one of his complaints in regard to the UI stylings was that "they should have gone the whole way and used San Francisco for the typeface, too."

To which Rajan Patel replied:

7Z7··on Google's Answer to EU Antitrust Complaints on Android
If Android is the dominant OS (80%? of smartphones) do iOS apps have a significant impact on what Google's Apps are doing in general?

*Though I guess the fact that the Google apps are not on 100% of Android installs affects that number again.

7Z7··on How Americans Became So Sensitive to Harm
There is a great difference between deer hunting and fox hunting, don't confuse the two. In fox hunting there is no "good clean shot".
7Z7··on Merkel Grants Turkish Request to Prosecute German Satirist
It wasn't evidence of the law's legitimacy, it was to counter the hand wringing of the parent comment:

>the screws are being tightened on free expression over much of Western Europe these days, not least as concerns potential offense towards a certain easily offended religion

7Z7··on Why you hate Comic Sans
No, lots and lots of people really do hate Comic Sans, independent of use.

7Z7··on Hacker Says He Printed Anti-Semitic and Racist Fliers at Colleges Across U.S.
I don't think that's true. If the male artist had the vocabulary to express the intended sentiment, in the same way that the female artist in question was able to, I don't think there would have been the issue you raise. There may indeed have been a different issue, of appropriateness of voice, but I don't think it would have been the hate crime you claim.
7Z7··on Hololens pre-orders starting tomorrow, ships in 30 days
When people experience the actual FoV of the Hololens they will be disappointed, because MS has engineered the demo to appear edge-to-edge.
7Z7··on Answers to your questions about Apple and security
>What decent gun owner.. >Gun owners are people.. >Does your view of gun owners differ?

There was no mention of the decency or otherwise of the hypothetical people, and it didn't read like they where intended as a moral illustration of gun owners in general. Sounds like you have a defensive agenda.

>..menacing behavior like that would be disturbing the peace or terrorism as you say.

So we can observe that some of the hypothetical people, who may or may not be gun owners, who may just be gun borrowers, are probably not, in this case, decent and probably are intending to menace.

7Z7··on Seventy years after Adolf Hitler’s death, how Germans see him is changing
Yeah! What have the Romans ever done for us?
7Z7··on A Learning Advance in Artificial Intelligence Rivals Human Abilities
I'm guessing the downvotes have nothing to do with MatLab and more to do with your choice of phrasing (regardless of your actual intent).

It reads less like you are asking a question, and more like "well yeah, duh, of course that's why they did that".

7Z7··on How Elmo Ruined Sesame Street
>"But Sesame Street is not for you!!! Who cares if your adult-self doesn't like Elmo?"

Lots of people weren't adults 20 years ago when Elmo was hitting his stride as the most prominent member of Sesame Street, though.
