Facebook is so big and so much money is involved there that I think a hacker wouldn't be able to get much out of Facebook. When you steal billions from people then rules sometimes get bent when dealing with you.

I'd like to add that if you end up syncing the password database through a service like Google Drive then you should use a password and keyfile on the password database. Share the keyfile in a (more) secure way with your device and d

It's not a full service. It's an application. It doesn't have any sync built in. It's just a way to save, open, and edit encrypted password files. You have to figure out a way to sync it yourself. There might be other to

I get what you're saying, but how sure are we that this spending actually ends up improving lives more than the cost it will have in the future? Politicians aren't always the most honest and with a complex system it's possibl

The problem isn't YouTube per se. The problem is third parties abusing the copyright claiming system to claim what is not theirs. YouTube is only involved because it's their system that allows such abuse.

The percentage paid as interest of the budget seems to be increasing. Current forecasts put it at over 12% by 2023. That's double what it was in 2016. At that point it'll rival US military spending in size. When would you say it b

I have a problem with the title of the article: I don't think this is "beyond the functional". Being able to get some form of touch feedback when handling things is very much a functional aspect and a pretty important one at

I agree with you that government regulation can't solve the problem, but I think that government has to be a part of solving the problem. They have to make solving the problem financially reasonable. We will need money to be spent on t

At which point you increase the size of the bureaucracy and the state leading to more government control. A decade or two later there's a financial crisis and the government just happens to tap into the carbon tax fund as a "tempo

The likely objection to your argument is that people don't really think there's much of a difference whether we start action today or in 5 years. Yes, it will be more difficult, but actually taking the right steps is probably more

If you want something to ever actually be done, then there absolutely is a point for moderation. If you just go along with whatever people label as "saving the climate" then you're going to be taken for a ride. People don&#x2

And how would your carbon tax work without allowing others to profit from it? Excise taxes already exist, they just go to fund more government that is still perpetually out of money to do the things that "must be done".

It would surprise me if it's even that high. From the "successful" ones perhaps, but there are so many people who do this only for a few bucks because they don't find success.

The difference with Jim Sterling is that he is (was?) pretty explicitly reviewing those games. In the case of a livestreamer it's harder to argue that it is a review. Reviews are something we want protected, because they inform consume

It makes sense to do so, because games and streams do not compete with one another as much. Edits of someone's stream probably competes more with the stream itself.

It's misleading because many people will read that and assume that the AI is nigh-unbeatable by players. But that's only the case against players who haven't played against it before.

I don't think it's uniquely American at all. It's weird to me that some places don't feel this way. Remember that every state-caused atrocity is aided by the police in some way. Even if you're okay with the police

That's a nice coincidence. What actually made me think of this in the first place was video game live-streaming. I improved much more by watching someone play a bit than reading about it or trying it just on my own. That made me think

Why not teach this at school instead? It's simple math, physics, and biology, but the amount of people I've run into that just don't know how it works is ridiculous. Being able to read the calorie part of a nutrition label se

Why would transportation costs be higher in the US? Gasoline is two times cheaper in the US than in Sweden. Food is roughly the same price, depending of what you eat.
