The rise of Falun Gong was well correlated to a period of economic uncertainty in the late 90s, especially in the Manchurian rust belt cities where neoliberal reforms lead to massive unemployment and poverty. While the allegation of torture

Emulation has been legal in the US since the Sony vs. Bleem! case was decided. As long as they do a clean room reconstruction of the hardware's functionalities it remains legal. What you are aruging is essentially that clang is guilty

My main complaint is that mainstream media reporting kept referring to the existence and specifics of the video whilst mainstream internet platforms are running around trying to make sure it's not available in any remotedly proper cont

Thanks for the comment. Maybe I am reading it wrong, but what you described sounds rather reasonable to me. After all, marijuana does impair one's ability to drive[0]. The traffic laws may be a bit draconian but I find it hard to argue

Or did they? The global SIGNIT capacity of the NSA has been pretty well known before Snowden. The more revealing part of the Snowden leaks was that the NSA has been spying on US soil without clear authorisation. Personally speaking, Snowdon

It's possible but I really doubt it, considering the sheer volume of message being generated every moment. It would be much easier and less likely to have hiccups like these if they just give them server access on demand, rather than h

From the screencaps it looks like surveillance systems used to monitor internet cafes and public access points where people must use their real ID to login, so it's a bit easier to link accounts to actual identities. A number of these

The decision to revamp their extensions API also cost a lot of goodwill from the community. FF today may be faster and more secure than two years ago, but from my perspective it has permanently lost some of its utility and appeal.

Recently there is some buzz that Mazda might bring back their rotary engine in a hybrid, which actually might be a good way to go about the power/weight problem.

Yes, carbotage laws apply to road and air traffic as well, albeit not as strict as the Jones Act. A Canadian truck based in Windsor (driven by a driver with valid work visa) is allowed to pick up goods in Detroit before going to Buffalo, be

Youtube is not facebook, and judging by the continued neglect of youtube's comment system I doubt their ability to add fine grained privacy control, especially since they abandoned Google+ integration. This isn't a new problem as

Yeah, blending in seems to work better in many cases. Remember the guy who sent a bomb threat over TOR? The only reason he was caught so quickly was because he's the only person on the organisation's network to have accessed TOR b

I remember PC and laptops equipped with a single fireware port well into the late 2000s even though peripherals are pretty much extinct by that time. Even Apple themselves appeared to have given up by removing them from newer ipods.
