Surveillance already exists. Cameras and sensors are everywhere in any modern city. Selling that data off to Google to do god knows what with it is the issue. Ofcourse I live in a country with a reasonably well functioning government. They

Makes sense. If you are a rich person in Russia or Brazil you never know when things may go bad and having a safe house in Vancouver or London or Paris is a good idea. At least that dirty cash does some good in Canada.

I don't know how the job market is in the US but here nobody gets a long term contract anymore. Yes I too want to have a steady job for 40 years with a nice pension plan. Sadly its 2019 not 1957.

My heartfelt condolences to everyone who has had to browse the internet without an ad blocker. Nobody deserves that.

Yep, threw win10 enterprise ltsc on a 7 year old laptop. Use it as a media player sitting under the TV.

Developers connect people. Developers help people. Developers enable people. Look I understand that people in general feel the need to pretend that their work is very important and good but come on. You are not working for Warchild in a L

Xi is being publicly called out by Trump. He cannot fold because the Chinese people are at least as patriotic and nationalistic as your average American. Instead of making this a civilised conference resolving trade issues its a pissing mat

Prices have gone down though. You can buy a Logitech mouse for €25 including shipping. For such a price replacing it every year isn't a big deal.

Sadly in the US its creditcards or PayPal. Banking system is archaic as hell, no innovation in decades. The big American banks could digitalize and utterly rape PayPal if they wanted but why bother?

With an American company? Really Microsoft?

Neither of those points is an excuse for breaking the law unless you're mentally ill. In which case you should still be locked up but this time in a mental institution. Just pay for your ticket or walk.

Putting someone in jail for breaking the law isn't about costs. Besides before you know it nobody pays for their ticket and then what? This is a nice deterrent for any other sad sack who thinks he is above the rules.

You can tax the shit out of people if you provide something in return. Millionaires don't flee the Netherlands or Sweden.

And this is why Amsterdam said fuck no to the Olympics. If your country is already obscenely rich and you're literally reduced to begging tourists to please stay away what is the point of hosting the Olympics?

To be fair rape is difficult to prove. It often comes down to two people telling different things. A judge is supposed to look at the evidence and if there isn't any there isn't much to be done. We don't prosecute people base

Seems to me this whole shitshow started when the prosecution went into rape cases without any evidence whatsoever aside from "I got raped". A judge doesn't care about politics so a case like that will be thrown out of court.

Every government in the world has dissuaded its citizens to get involved with crypto. If there is a bankrun on ING or WellsFargo the government will act. With Tether you're on your own. Cryptocurrency places you outside the financial s

That is the secret ingredient to being a good monarch: be absolutely boring and try to not upset anyone. The system in my country is that until you take the throne you get a relatively normal life. Hell doesn't start until you're

Rational traders? What planet do you live on. Humans are not rational. The world of finances has more to do with psychiatry and sociology.

Air polution is known to kill millions of people every year. And not just in India. Cities like Paris and London are mess. Nobody gives a shit.

Replacing ads with other ads. Genius. I use ad blockers because advertising doesn't add anything meaningful to my experience. I don't think there are a lot of ublock users who actually miss seeing ads.

Encryption is nice but don't forget that every American university or company has been infiltrated by the NSA.

Lobbying is not the same as contributing to a political party.

Doesn't Apple have a fiduciary duty to its shareholders? Sure American politics is corrupt but it would be utterly asinine for a big company like Apple not to engage with politicians.

Yeah I visited a retail expert panel and they were talking about how in the 80s and 90s we looked at the US for trends and now China is the inspiration. Malls are out apps are in. Its almost scary how fast physical retail is dying.

Use Canvasblocker and enable all the settings. The internet punishes anonymous browsing. Every site out there wants to track you. Across websites! Just imagine ordering a Big Mac at the McDrive. Suddenly a McDonald's employee walks out
