"Played a major role in European history" is a very silly criterion. By those standards Russia, Austria, Spain, or even Turkey should be much higher on the list than Britain.

If anything that just demonstrates the point further. Ireland and India are now independent and are happier for it. Scotland will soon join them. The EU doesn't want Britain to leave. The oppressors and the oppressed do not have the sa

Probably because you only hang out on english-language forums full of people with similar views to your own.

I think it'd be a good idea, but let's not pretend that any of us need to push for that. The monopolies are perfectly capable of hiring their own lobbyists.

It doesn't really matter whether they continue as long as something else takes their place afterwards.

Not without outside pressure, which in this case exists. I've been using Uber for 5 years.

Best for who? It's better for riders if rates stay unsustainably low and they can get discounted rides at the expense of VCs.

The framerate itself is an objective measurement, but the word "issues" is a subjective assessment. If you want to provide facts, say what the framerate is, don't say that there are framerate issues. To continue my comparison

That the "it's been covered extensively, see how these random internet people have written at length about the viewpoint I agree with" line of argument goes both ways, but more against you than in favor. The only condescendin

Yes, it has been covered extensively, to the tune of nearly a hundred reviews, averaging to a score of 97 on a 100-point scale: http://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/the-legend-of-zelda-br... If you're going

Bad example. Slavery was made illegal the proper way, by changing the letter of the law. See the 13th amendment.

This definitely has the potential to be the "killer's name written in blood" of the 21st century.

Someone who is only after a portable Stardew Valley could simply get a 3DS and Rune Factory 4. That would also be far cheaper.

No. In Twilight Princess for Gamecube and Wii, Link would learn various sword techniques in certain spots in-game.

And by tradeoff, you mean you are giving your usage, which is all these platforms really want from you, and in exchange, you get the ability to reach an audience who is not interested in the ideology you're preaching. Is that accurate?

I would speculate that it's because they are more concerned with checking boxes for their auditors or insurers than they are about the actual data. As for convincing the KPMGs of the world to take security seriously instead of calling

>businesses actually care quite a lot if their data leaks. How are you coming to that conclusion? Companies may say they take security seriously and they want to avoid becoming the next Sony or Home Depot, but how many actually allocate

Is it really? RMS doesn't appear to have a problem reaching as broad of an audience as is willing to listen to him, and afaik he does not compromise his principles by using non-free software.

Naturally. Respecting user privacy hinders your ability to enhance and monetize your products efficiently.

Fuck the users. If users had their way, they'd have all the local administrator privileges they wanted so that they could download malware to their heart's content. From a non-IT perspective, they would also be free to download po

If they understand security better than their customers, it's correct for them to say so when an issue doesn't require customers to individually review whether they are affected. If they misjudge that, it isn't an indication

>You have to evaluate the type of account disclosure that was possible against your own use cases. Exactly. Evaluating risk levels and weighing tradeoffs accurately is taking security seriously. Overreacting to insanely unlikely scenario

Would you say the same at .001%? How about .0001%? It is possible for someone to take security seriously but not blindly value the tiniest bit of security over every other possible factor. Perhaps because they also take usability seriously.

In modern democratic society, this war of ideas is what we've chosen to use instead of wars of violence to control the transition of power in government. It's pretty reasonable that it will evolve over time as traditional war did.

How much more secure does a theoretical audit that never actually happens make you?

Even worse, what if, besides just recording your conversation, they go even further and understand and remember what you said? That could potentially be even more harmful!

I would say the biggest effect is that modern media makes America much more sensitive to casualties, in contrast to the past where broadcast-style media like TV and newspapers were essentially hijacked for uncontested government propaganda.

You're assuming that what made the Iraq/Afghanistan invasions different from previous wars was the opponent rather than the advance of technology.

My argument is that when companies can't compete on technology as they may be used to, too frequently, they throw their hands up in the air and conclude that this means they can't compete period. However, we can see that Western c
