Compare it to the world population. It's currently about 7.8 billion. So if 50 million years are lost in total, everyone lost on average 50 million years / 7.8 billion ~= 2.4 days of life.

Sure, a lot of people have irrational beliefs. But I doubt that a significant share of (adult) people isn't aware that free things still have to be funded somehow. Do you know of any research about that question?

A local US news site that doesn't care about its few EU visitors obviously doesn't fall under GDPR. I wonder if one that targets them by putting up a non-compliant popup does?

If there is a real danger that EU gouvernments start abusing their power like that, why is it only Americans that are afraid of it? Not EU citizens, who actually are familiar with how their states behave?

What's a computer? 1. A device with a screen, a keyboard and some kind of pointing device. 2. A device that can be used for every purpose a computer can be used for. The Ipad is obviously not 1, so Apple must be claiming it is/wil

I don't think anyone would mind if Apple offered two -- otherwise identical -- versions of each Iphone: One locked down and one not. Or Iphones could be unlocked by default but you can pay extra to have them permanently locked. People

You are essentially saying that the idea that we can stop being racist in a world were we haven't stopped being racist yet is arguing in bad faith.

The Weimar Republic wasn't set up by the Entente and not going to war with the Soviet Union to liberate East Germany was, to put it mildly, a reasonable decision.

No, I didn't. I meant that if opening consoles means they stop existing because customers aren't willing to buy them at full price, that's actually a good thing.

No, expecting dead people to work would be silly.

If customers don't buy consoles unless sold at a loss, they value them less than making them costs. Which means they shouldn't be made.

There is none. Game consoles should also be forced open.

French is monocentric? I don't think the Quebecois agree.

I was taught that "there should be less" is the plain meaning of "too many".

The real problem is the idea that merely being old is a legitimate reason to stop working.
