Bad zoning laws are bad. And these laws are really bad (forcibly separating 'business' and residential are makes no sense to me) , but completely deregulating that (like allowing residential building directly adjacent to a dangerous chemical plant or in a flood zone) would be as bad.

URLs are definitely encrypted. What can be sent unencrypted are domain names and IP addresses. Which is not a problem when the host name is 'youtube.com', but is a bigger problem if it is 'the-terrorists.com'.

Isn't that their long national tradition? Like with paper technology, silk technology or porcelain technology?

They do and make reliability even worse.

Because 3.5mm jacks suck. 6.3mm jacks are much more sturdy and can be easily mounted on 6mm or even thicker cable, which can also handle much more use.

Flimsy jack and thin cheap cable cable is asking for trouble during performance.

The only plus of 3.5mm and smaller 'phone jacks' is their size and in many applications it is much less important than reliability.

Oh, I am sure American cars are even bigger, but that does not mean we should like the trend.

Europe used to laugh at American big cars, but recently the cars on our roads get bigger and bigger too :-(

'doctoring' can go both ways. Embedding gives more 'doctoring power' to original poster and X.
