The Hansa of the Baltic sea had their income from monopolizing trade routes across the sea. Freeport-type cities in the 1600s Carribean were parasitical on surrounding societies by enabling and profiting from piracy. What are the citizens o

You don’t think the idea of competition as the dominant force in society has an inkling of libertarianism to it?

It boggles my mind that apparently consumers are not willing to peel their own garlic. What’s next, peeled apples in shrink-wrap?

Not sure what you’re getting at here. An uncharitable reading would be that you’re implying that Normway keeps political dissidents prisoner, but I’m sure you wouldn’t mean to claim something so absurd.

Your style of argument reminds me of the “psychiatrist mode” in Emacs.

I’m not saying that people in prison lack training or qualifications. That assumption would actually probably hold true, on average, but I have not studied that and that was not my point. My point was that fruit picking, in contrast to many

No, they are saying that fruit picking is not a job that requires training or qualifications. So prison work picking fruit does not help prepare the inmate for life after release.

Looks like Patreon if you read the web site. And Liberapay, I guess. It’s an open source “host your own” software, I don’t think they are trying to monetize beyond paying a living wage for the developer.

I assume your workplace is using the cloud solution? Our huge-enterprise in-house install is blazing fast, as long as nobody misconfigures some automation tool to overload the database. Edit: I did have the bad luck to discover it performs

Cryptocurrencies are what allows criminals to scale these attacks. They also significantly decrease the risk of getting caught, compared to accepting cash in a briefcase. I’m not sure what point you are trying to make.

But the article doesn’t conflate the web and the Internet. The DNS root servers are necessary for the operation of all the Internet, just like the article says. Not just for the Web.

Ericsson has hired several thousand engineers per year in the past couple of years, globally. You can see the history of their Wikipedia page for the nitty-gritty...

If by Far East you mean China, I’m not aware of any outsourcing there at all. Ericsson has big R&D centers there but I believe they are all in-house operations, owned and controlled directly by Ericsson. Now, India on the other hand...

Ericsson is very multinational. The core of its management is in Sweden, a lot of systems management and architecture are indeed controlled from there. There are development units in dozens of countries across all continents, albeit with a

No, they are writing about DNS, which is in the core of how the Internet works. Including the Web, yes, but virtually nothing on the Internet would work without DNS.

I think you overestimate the proportion of people on Earth who are in favor of Elon being held above law and international treaties. Personally I certainly think it would be appropriate for a state to act against a citizen who was violating

Since when do defendants have an interest in prolonged sentencing processes? For major crimes like this, they are in jail with restrictions. They would get better treatment once sentenced, in the prison system, wouldn’t they?

Many jurisdictions would have enough cases come through to justify employing someone trained to draw a blood sample. Btw here (Sweden) the breathalyzer is only used to help decide whether someone gets picked up for a blood draw or not. Only

Well, to begin with it’s off topic for this thread. But anyway, “frail elderly patients” have a tendency to have a short life expectancy whether there is a pandemic on or not. The thing they will have to sort out is whether those 23 are coi
