Come on, if you take out of the map the biggest 6 companies of any country, they will be in deep trouble. Exceptions could be the US or China... Every European country has it's handful of companies that have consolidated and by their s

I knew he was insulting someone! For all I have read Newton seems such an a uppity give credit to none asshole that that phrase always has struck me as completely out of character. Now, if he was dismissing a competitor...

I find that the only acceptable way to divide engineers is with a chainsaw. It might get messy, and is hard to hunt them down especially if they are of the runner kind, but afterwards you get the satisfaction of a work well done.

"The only reason coders' computers work better than non-coders' computers is coders know computers are schizophrenic little children with auto-immune diseases and we don't beat them when they're bad." https:&#

Hum... I just thought that we rarely see here a tech showdown from ad companies, or employees (It might be because they'd be bullied to hell), for what we know they could have the most impressive anti-DDoS tech in the world.

That pesky Napoleon, spreading his nonsense units all over the place without regard of consequences. Didn't he learn his lesson on Waterloo?

Hum... Where you parsed "most prostitution does not use sex trafficked persons", I understood "prostitution and human traffic do not have much correlation". I will have to agree that your interpretation is more charitabl

Which non-biased studies are you talking about? It's the first time I've heard this narrative and seriously have trouble thinking about a non sexual-exploitation related cause for human trafficking in the western world.

I'd say it's more of a regression, or the usual progression inverted.

Correct answer is stop using Uber if you don't like their rating system, not risking the livehood of people because it doesn't fit your mental mode of how the world should work.

If you poke the internet, you will find people having tons of problems with virtually EVERYTHING, hell, I'd bet that one of the bigger uses of the internet is searching for every kind of solutions. The notion that the number one OS use

If I were you, I'd try to forget it as soon as I can, becouse it's wrong. 2.4 GHz is not in the water absortion band (I'd show you a nice graph, but I can't find one that goes to such low frequencies), a microwave would

I find the idea of using the most advanced VR technology for your olde command line terribly funny. All those 80s cyberpunks imagining people actually traveling through cyber-information highways, using them in combination with feedback glo

That opensilicium magazine seems pretty awesomely cool. Does anybody know anything similar in English or maybe German? I'm afraid my french ain't that good.

In Spain, several tourists die every year trying to jump from their hotel window in the 5th floor to the swimming pool (balconing, look it up) under the influence of their own stupidity. Some people are just looking forward to dying, they j

It's creepy as hell how reasonable it sounds, and yet, it says nothing. I mean, if I didn't really care about it, like most people, I'd probably think something in the lines of "Well, that's sensible", and forg

I wonder if the next Bethesda games will ever see such success after The Witcher 3. That game is so high above Fallout 4, in terms of quests, characters, and anything you could think about, that I seriously doubt Bethesda is capable of prod

Every western European country has one of those nowadays. Though I never heard about anyone trying to exercise that kind of right, and I wonder if there is any way to verify that your data has actually been removed, or just a NO_SEND_MAIL f

I'd argue that, while most of reddit value is in the niche and heavily moderated subreddits, it's not where most of the eyeballs (revenue) is. If they start moderating heavily, deleting the jerk subredits, they are risking the ire

Dude, read your internet history. We don't have a bunch of incompatible protocols tied to different vendors (That was how things were developing) because the DoD of the US said that anything that was to be sold to them HAD to use this

I'm not arguing against your point, but most western countries manage to have a more or less competent police without such adherence to libertarianism. Maybe is easiest to implement, they have done so.

Does it really matter if the vehicle is not connected to the Internet in any way? I mean, if an attacker has physical access to the insides of your car, all bets are off and is now his vehicle.

Yeah, and they were doing that well before automatic online monthly payments were a thing!! People actually took some minutes every month to send them money. But, to the point, it's not like you could accuse the Zach bros of "sell

The Dwarf Fortress authors set up their Patreon[1] a while ago, haven't updated it much since, and is giving them 4K per month, so... I guess that if you want to throw some money regularly at some project it's one of your best opt

Well, the explanation for that looks like it's a job for survivorship bias, isn't it?. I mean, we could not know about the huge amount of people that have died by betting their livehood in the wrong risk. Only that the stakes are

Come on, you don't go to a mall with a pencil, a brick or a bow and kill 50+ people. The point of assault weapons ownership laws is to introduce friction, so getting a weapon that can go through kevlar is hard, and if you get caught, h

Yeah. I've been a fan of the Borderlands franchise since the first game and I couldn't believe the guy had the courage of pointing to the pre-sequel as a success. It felt over-extended, and it should have been cut to a third, at m
