I'm not in ag but anybody working on a modular elevated track system? Let the sun shine right thru. Automate a ton of physical tasks, like that one gardening startup (forgot name). Some central unit coordinates it all and offers an api

It's far too easy for mainland "security" forces or counterparts to go plain-clothes and attak HK police. It's a common tactic used against protestors. It gives an excuse for authoritarian responses, like shooting at cro

The only thing this circumstanial evidence justifies is an investigation. The author is stating he's a cheater like a matter of fact.

I think it's hard to make an argument that China has a lot of leverage on Telegram as an organization, but that could change in years to come. A decade ago, no one really thought Google would become this hostile to users and even seek

Google must be stopped from muscling its way into 'real' goods and services. Can you imagine getting locked out of your [insert] with an automated response and without recourse?

Wow that go me thinking. What if specialized AI code recommenders could sniff out solutions. Get away from libraries with objects or structs with methods that mutate. As more people realize composing functions (Forth has concept of composin

Also consider that all we know is a world that has become more global, open, and relatively peaceful post 1970s. If collaboration were to slow or decline, open-source would be harmed. And/or if Google and Facebook lose its dynamism fro

I replied to this in a reply to someone else up above. You may have the the last word. And I do hope a peaceful solution is found. I especially like every Iranian expat I every met. I want to see every sanctioned nation prosperous and with

The neocons that blundered in Iraq and the neoliberals (like former Sec State HRC) that overthrew the Libyan dictatorship and targeted the Syrian autocracy, were democratically removed from leading US foreign policy. Democracy here adjusts.

Are you claiming Iranian tech elites don't use VPNs or Tor?

Economic sanctions prevent these regimes from entrenching themselves and growing. And if it didn't, the Iranian regime wouldn't be seizing ships and harassing our Navy to protest the sanctions. They work. And bad govts have crumbl

You could have made the same argument to not sanction any govt, like the Nationalist Socialists or Soviets.

by abstract7 7y ago
Shame should be directed at the sanctioned govts like that of Cuba that jail or kill people for political dissent. And shame on companies that help them. These regimes are unelected or sponsor terrorism, like Iran. They must not grow. It&#x

Tulsi is the most prominent Democrat presidential candidate that the media often says has conservative views. She is also broadly considered anti-establishment. Are there any establishment Democrat candidates (e.g. Harvard and Yale Law facu

Disabling unsafe and unnecessary sys calls in containers (not Docker) and forcing apps to communicate via API with capabilities management would let you do this now, I think. In fact, sandstorm.io is said to do all this. And it's open-

My guess is that the whales have been securing parts of their codebases from internal leaks or something related but for security. Workflow disruptions. It may be bad code bitting them weeks or more after they pushed it. There has been many

I zeroed on murder rates to bring home the point that higher rates of really serious crime, not just drug related that some think is trivial, is a relatively larger problem in the African American community than average. Some falsely believ

Capitalism absolutely ended Slavery, and the Civil War. Eli Whitney's cotton gin and interchangeable factory made parts made it economical to produce cotton with far less labor. Capitalism did that. Serfdom and slavery isn't capit

Consuming software cost producers zero, practically. You do have overhead from 'how does this work with docker', of course. However, don't get offended at the 'useless software eaters'. The greatest consumer benefic

If Facebook and Google are private companies and they can ban whomever they want, why can't they have a policy to not hire each other's employees? FYI, i don't like any of those stances.

American black guy here. Capitalism (capital-intensive but scaleable production) and the industrial revoltion ended slavery (inextricably linked). Within 70 years of Eli Whitney's cotton gin, slavery was abolished in the USA. Similar t
