  • SMS has somewhere to go in between the sender and recipient. Where does this go if I send a message then go offline before the recipient comes online?

    It seems like both parties must be online at the same time for the message to be sent. My understanding is that your message will wait on your device until the recipient is online and then will be sent, so if neither party is ever online at the same time, it won’t work.



  • Lobbyists are people working on behalf of companies whose job is to meet up with politicians to discuss their issues. Typically that involves some back and forth that may or may not be considered bribery.

    You want a law to protect your business? You go talk to lawmakers behind closed doors about how some laws are needed to better protect children and also data centers, and subtly let them know that maybe your company might have a job for them in the future.

    Those lawmakers then go out and propose these laws and they sell the idea to other lawmakers who approve them for the children and datacenters.
