It's an Eternal September problem, not a search engine problem. Whenever I use search like a proper normie to buy something, check song lyrics, or weather, the results are excellent.

We find it acceptable for people to benefit from their property by default. Economists would also add that having the owner benefit encourages investment in the property.

Can you tell the difference between recompressed 1080p and the virgin source? What about 4k? I highly doubt I can but maybe I don't know what to look for.

You can't have unattended visitors. If you're there to let them in, they can visit as often as you like. Basically, turning this from an apartment to more of a long term hotel. Is it a fair trade for a rent subsidy? Will it beco

Is there any content which was available for streaming yesterday and isn't available on torrents today? DRM stops "casual" pirates. People exploiting CPUs are out of scope.

I stopped reading and started skimming at the complaint that DePalma dresses like Indiana Jones. Good. It would behoove many professions to dress well again. I hope this age of slob ends soon. And what's with the indigenous people non-

I remember uucpssh.org[1] which I had bookmarked for a while but didn't get around to setting up before it closed down. Now it resolves to a spam website. Sad! [1] http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/March2004/a

The wealthy can afford to opt out of having their data and their attention sold as a product. The poor and middle class don’t have the same kind of resources to make that happen. This is a silly exaggeration. A paid email account is well

because we should, by default, let consenting adults do what they want together Why? This strikes me as a very shallow moral principle. As 'presscast notes it completely misses the point of the nature of a life well-lived. Ironically

What the hell is going on? These are real trends but I have a different answer to the opening question: the elites are failing, they don't seem better than the rest of us any more. And I don't think it's just a matter of ex

how much does it cost to keep the lights on really? Depends. Would you like original reporting based on reporters actually going somewhere and investigating, and not just reviewing documents in the evenings? Would you like them to have he

Why don't all rich people own luxury cars? Yet many do obviously because they're rich. And US has free, universal healthcare. Hospitals cannot turn anyone away. Its financing is pretty nutty so there's definitely some path de

"Women’s suffrage, paid vacations, democracy, public healthcare, free public education" are just results of societies getting richer. Luxuries that become affordable for regular people. There has been some idealism in tech, and I

I don't think so because unlike physical space, virtual space is borderline free and getting cheaper. What is the cost of maintaining a database of 800 passwords? The same as one with 80 passwords.

I like the way Eric Weinstein put it. “I don’t believe that we can afford to take a neutral stance anymore. I don’t believe that we should optimize for neutrality..” -@jack Glad to hear it. And, because you just changed your view on neut

Except this newspaper publishes all letters from all comers making it fairly obvious censorship. "Start your own website" is a brush-off when faced with corporate cenosrhip. People have tried it. Daily Stormer had several domains

People are trying various escape hatches in the responses but it obviously is. First, censorship can be carried out by non-state actors. Second, they treat these videos differently to intentionally limit their reach and appeal.

Cable TV isn't a good example because "nothing" is a strong competitor and really much better than cable TV. But lately companies like VISA and MC seem to be abusing their semi-monopolies. Try living without a card or bank ac

I don't know if they should accept it but realistically vast majority of companies don't have any valuable secrets. Maybe payroll data and perhaps the client list would be somewhat sensitive. Still difficult to act on for anything

I bet this data is worth (much) less than the cost to collect and analyse it. It would be worth something for larger companies but for these WeWork will have only limited insight since they're unlikely to rent all or even a significant

This is a real concern in politically- or publicity-motivated prosecutions. And it gives prosecutors a wide avenue to abuse their powers. But are these a significant per cent of cases that lead people to Rikers? I'm gonna guess no, the

Rikers Island is operated by the New York City Department of Correction, not a private company, and 85% of Rikers' residents have not been convicted (at least not yet) so how are your suggestions supposed to help with any of the issues
