More and more I feel that the real damage is not done to time, but to attention. It is fairly simple to reorganize your time, it does take willpower but once you do it that's all your time back to you. On the other hand it requires act

It's frankly impressive how even 10 years down the line the dota playerbase still holds a grudge.

What about the times in which there was plenty of such data, only for it to be false in the end, say, typical conspiracy turned true like MKULTRA or NSA? Bear with me, not every country has as many people doubting their government, the bott

It's as simple as waiting until they have enough market saturation to be able to dismiss any competition and start selling data then.

I'm all for putting work to find things out and I agree with you, but for the sake of argument: Say these are really relevant 200 years down the line, maybe even 100 or 50, does it really make sense to calculate them now, given that co

Those are some outrageous claims that I'm fairly certain would be public if true. >I have not judged, I have only stated the facts. Could you source them then?

There aren't many, but about every 3D mario has kept up with SM64 in that regard, the freedom in Odyssey might even be too much. Outside the series, A Hat in Time does it pretty well too.

Many don't donate to either Mozilla or Wikimedia for the same reason. Both companies are known for their big products, Firefox and Wikipedia, and both suffer from a chronic insistence on funding projects their userbases don't supp

I find it really hard to argue that any of that is worth the enormous loss of privacy, the rising anxiety and effects of Instagram on the youth and the terrible effects Facebook is having across the globe when it comes to politics.

I see it as similar to Snowden, in the sense that everybody kind of knew (actually guessed) but now we actually know. It doesn't come as a shock, but it's important information to have since it can be now argued with authority.

Those businesses should have never depended on Facebook to begin with, if anything the fact that what you describe is a reality is a testimony of the degree at which Facebook is a cancer to be expunged.

I'm ready and willing to accept that Assange is by no means unbiased, thing is, I don't really care. I know that Russia has enormous corruption, as a matter of fact I don't even try to understand the degree and inner workings

The problem is always overreach. The problem of surveillance isn't a problem at all if you could trust every actor to do things right, it's just that you can't.

In my experience, they fail to market their ideas to the average European too. From feminism, to antifa, to anything touching economics, the American left tends to get itself deep enough into identity politics and neoliberalism to disgust a

The kind of company that can survive in an economy paying X doesn't necessarily survive if they later have to pay 120% of X. And that doesn't have to be a bad thing either, that kind of company probably wouldn't have existed
