  Signal does not. signal.org/bigbrother/santa-clara-county/

  Tl;dr: Signal gave the court timestamps for three out of nine phone numbers that the court demanded data on. The timestamps were the dates three phone numbers last registered their accounts with Signal. That’s it. That is all the data there was to give.

  This is why I use Signal. This is why I donate monthly to Signal.

  Read closer- they are not removing grandfathered rates for 1 and 6 month packages that do not let membership lapse for more than 14 days.

  There’s grandfather rates plus bulk discounts!

  Misleading statistic. This doesn’t include parents/grandparents who buy houses and then put their kids name on the lease.

  Well, yes, but they serve drastically different markets, and the ownership structure is different. Ryobi is for the home owner that occasionally uses tools, and is licensed by a Japanese company to allow TTI to produce the brand. Milwaukee is for heavy daily use, and is wholly owned by TTI.

  One file at a time. Make strong pre-commit eslint rules (that way you don’t impact existing code), eventually update tsconfig. You’ll get there :)

  Sounds like you don’t know how to properly use TypeScript…

  Think about it. A show with no grounding in facts. A series full of outlandish propositions. 200+ episodes that invalidate the accomplishments of the most intelligent species in the history of the planet… and get that very same species to believe it. How could such a thing be possible? Could it be that the producers of the show had help from beings of a different species altogether? And could that species have come… from a different planet altogether?

  Or could it be, the average person won’t sit through an hour-long documentary… or worse, a 6-hour series, at a set time in a set place every week, but “factual entertainment”? The history channel has become extremely good at delivering interesting nuggets of information with very little elaboration, and if you were interested you could look it up on Wikipedia.

  Or don’t. Think that this extremely well produced and funded show is about proving aliens is real, and not about getting viewers.

  Woosh 😆

  Have you considered that it’s a ploy to get people to learn about history through and absurd entertaining format? They present real history and then rather than trying to explain it, they give you nonsensical evidence, that, truly, very people believe. And for the people that claim to “believe” it maybe you should look into Poes law
