You keep repeating that socialism doesn't work. In the period 1928 - 1934 the socialist USSR went from an agrarian country, devastated by wars to world's second industrial power. Sent the first satellite into space, first man, fir

Same as Apple - when they were almost dead they had to use and contribute to open source projects and treat the customer fair. Nowadays they are making it clear all iThings out there belong to Apple and working hard to wall Mac OSX as well.

Measuring economic potential in PPP is like measuring software functionality in lines of code. The basic question is does a country produce enough food to feed itself. If that's the case it can grow an industry slowly with respect to h

IMHO the C# team made the right decision. What you're suggesting is a very leaking abstraction. Running stuff by default on the current thread is a sure recipe for deadlocks.

There are ad-blockers for Android, they don't even require root on 4.x. There are also WiFi routers that filter all traffic.

Right, because the people in today USA are completely different then the people in East Germany 25 years ago. Information today is literally the ultimate power. "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely"

Hello, I'm a vaccination denier :) I don't deny the science behind the vaccines, but the motives of the people who ultimately control the process. The same people have taken away the average person privacy IMHO will as easily take

Health care R&D is extremely expensive in US (insanely high executive salaries, "lobbing" expenses, etc.). US companies may spend as much as the rest of the world, but deliver a lot less innovation.

Such a stupid statement. There should be world peace. The world population should be 300 million for a sustainable future. There were many advanced distributed data systems on the Internet in the early 90's, the Web won to a big degree beca

Very interesting investigation. I heard somewhere that the Apple lightning cable, that comes with newer iPod, iPhone, iPads contains a chip and we'll be very hard to replicate (by Chinese cloners). Any insight on this?
