I can't view the page in incognito. It worked just fine with JS disabled, while in incognito, though.

and the evidence is overwhelming that the Syrian government was behind the vast majority of the attacks.

What evidence might that be?

Does anyone have a non-paywall but legitimate link to the story?

I have that experience. Security patches take a long time. You need to ensure that mission critical operations are not impacted, that the private builds which had been supplied to customers are not impacted, that documentation gets updated, that laws and regulations are followed across the world and in specific regulated verticals, etc. Then customers need time to review the patches and follow through on their schedule of updating their devices.

The Ezekiel "quote" always bugged me because even without looking it up, anyone who spent any amount of time in the Old Testament, could tell that it was fabricated.

The quote comes from a film 20 years earlier, Karate Kiba, not from the OT (despite the attribution in PF).

Thank you.

  Defendant's unlawful failure to inform consumers that updating
  their iPhone 6, 6S, SE or 7 (the "Legacy Devices") to iOS 10.2.1
  (and/or later to iOS 11.2) would dramatically and artificially
  reduce the performance of the Legacy Devices.

  Apple also failed to inform consumers that phone performance
  would be restored – by as much as 70 percent – if affected
  individuals simply replaced the phone's lithium-ion battery.
  Replacing the battery at an Apple store costs less than $100.
  The cost of the new iPhone X is over $1,000.

Ah. I see how that was used. It was another nod to the disbelief of people's knowledge prior to the iron age. Thank you.

  Ferrous metallurgy is the metallurgy of iron and its alloys.
  It began far back in prehistory. The earliest surviving iron
  artifacts, from the 4th millennium BC in Egypt, were made
  from meteoritic iron-nickel.[1]

The word lightening can also mean 1) to make something lighter or 2) the transfer of crude oil to a relatively larger tanker from a smaller in order to enter a port.

The cresting of a wave is but its fall; the flash of a bolt of lightning is but its fading.

Likewise, knowledge, drinking up the water of ignorance, grows so large that it completely annihilates itself.

This absolute knowledge is like the intrinsic fullness of the moon, which is unaffected by its apparent waxing and waning.

Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish.

~Rumi

My words are very easy to understand

And very easy to practice.

Still, no one in the world

Can understand or practice them.

My words have an origin.

My deeds have a sovereign.

Truly, because people do not understand this,

They do not understand me.

That so few understand me is why I am treasured.

Therefore, the sage wears coarse clothes, concealing jade.

~Lao Tzu

Perhaps, the article showcases a confusion between the knowledge of the world, deemed philosophy, and the knowledge of the absolute, also called philosophy. Hence, there is philosophy as interpretation and argument on the one hand, and philosophy as revelation on the other. This is seen in the philosophers listed in the article.
