Maybe finding new ways for the market isn't the best approach. What about publicly shaming the people who profit off of this? I remember there was a big outrage about Martin Shkreli's actions. Meanwhile the CEOs of these companies

For someone who accuses other people of being crazy you sure sound pretty crazy yourself. Maybe back up your claims with numbers instead of throwing around accusations of censorship and propaganda?

Why? Because they don't have enough users for this to be worth it you mean?

IMO the more simple explanation is they want this data to sell to data aggregators, who can in turn enrich the profile they have on you. There's a similar thing going on with smart TVs, right?

Why do you not just post your reply to his comment as an actual reply to his comment? Your point is an interesting addition (have you read "The Art of Not Being Governed" by any chance?) but this seems to me to just be for the sak

The first time I started thinking about it that way was when I bought a book featuring a selection of Banksy's works [0]. In the opening pages it had a quote of him, making pretty much that point: The public space is ours. It's no

Thank you for responding. If I ever get far enough down in my book pile I will let you know :D

Hi! On Wikipedia it says it‘s a trilogy [0], Misspent Youth being the one you didn‘t mention. Would you recommend starting with the 2nd book in the series? [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_F._Hamilton_bibliog

Yes, racism exists. That was not GP‘s point though. The point was that enough kids in Japan are victims of racism that it gets listed as one of the top reasons why so many pupils don‘t want to go to school anymore. I also highly doubt that

>'who cares nerd, get back to your work' That's pretty much it. The first time I really understood Snowden was when he was on the Joe Rogan podcast (think of JRE what you will...). It really drove home the point of the pro

Here‘s a link to donate for Snowden: https://edwardsnowden.com/de/donate/ Also I will be downloading an illegal copy of his book today. And I’m not even that big a fan of him. EDIT: Removed some profanity, sorry

I’ve had these exact same issues for the past 1 1/2 years. This is the time when I switched from a part-time to a full-time job, which often times leaves me utterly exhausted in the evenings and feels like I can never get to a „it‘s do

I think the author should do some trimming on this piece. With a little more concise points and a healthier length this piece could be a bombshell. It certainly describes the feelings I‘ve had for a while now very closely. As a European and

I get so irritated whenever this is brought up as an "additional security measure". Like, guys, we just found the source of the bug and put in some code to fix it. If it fails again it shows we haven't understood it completel

Wow! I will try to remember that metaphor when I start to plan going into self-employment (in a year or two). Thank you!

That's like the 1000th ad-targeting article I've read, but the first time to hear this perspective. Absolutely fascinating, thank you! Here's one question though: If you're the established player in one field and don&#x2

I don‘t care how much he donates. My point is exactly that we shouldn‘t have to rely on one wealthy individual for anything. The money should‘ve stayed in big parts with the people that helped build this wealth (i.e. employees) and the ones

Well you know what? Building massive empires while evading taxes, exploiting unregulated markets or down-right not adhering to existing law and then relying on „philanthropy“ to make the world a better place should be disincentivized. Tha

It is a pretty specific thing and I was very surprised to see it as the top comment. Are you seriously defending the money-people? Just give us this one moment where noone chimes in to teach us how greed supposedly helped turn savages into

Doesn‘t sound right, does it? Even weirder is this re-phrasing: „The more integrated into the global economy you are, the less you need english“ Greetings from Austria!

Nice one HN, by changing the title (to something that is not the title of the actual submission!) you just inverted the meaning of the first sentence of the top comment at the time of writing [0] If you are going with the second headline wh

Okay, I was scrolling through this feed to find some proof that this is a joke account. But they are actually serious, right? Are there laws in the UK that allow the police to enter your house and steal all your tools? For people who didn&#

Do you think the people being filmed would've behaved less aggressively if the camera man had told them that he only keeps footage for a month, doesn't run tracking and ID-ing software on it and only ever re-watches it when there

Amazing how you got downvotes for that. I was just thinking why some people reacted so aggressively towards the guy filming. And tbh he behaves really annoyingly. If he really wanted to teach people a lesson about constant surveillance this

Great point! When typing my reply I actually wasn't sure about using 'developed countries' as the term, but it was the one that came to me fastest. In a discussion further down the thread I just called it 'country of ori
