It wouldn't be too hard for the surveillance society to distinguish the real profiles and bots(Edit: or people pretending to be different people). The US Government has built up such far reaching surveillance tools, of which we have ju

It seems a little strange that the woman can decide weather to end her life somewhat unilaterally. Giving such power to her when she is in depression is dangerous to say the least. The what if she recovers question remains.

The development of the 5g standard and it's deployment is something to look forward to, but one issue that remains is data caps. We need to remember that the vast majority of people access the Internet primarily through mobile devices

Accepting poor security practices from the Linux mint developers cannot be justified just because you are not paying anything. Open source projects need to be held to the very highest security standards. How these security breaches are hand

Cinnamon would be a safe bet. It looks and works like Windows 7 and most people would feel comfortable using it. For old computer hardware choose the lightweight Mate edition of Linux mint.

It still pretty much is along with Linux mint. The average Joe does not care much about the open source philosophy. If it's free and works well out of the box without having to touch the command line, they would be happy. This is where

Even university students? But most of the great startups were started by university students, so why wasn't there any issue about it so far?

The show has faced criticism for having a male dominated cast, so I think the producers will continue with all the female characters on the show.

It's interesting how this show gives a glimpse of what life in Silicon Valley as a founder is like. Obviously it's by no means an accurate representation but it is in some ways a source of inspiration for people working on their s

Sometimes we have no option but to break the law until what is considered illegal is made legal. Storing research papers behind paywalls is absolutely ridiculous. The law literally prevents the development of science. Having personally se

If you don't mind me asking, what was confusing to the customer? Again, I don't mean to be rude, just curiosity, how would you react if people forked the community edition and implemented some of the enterprise edition features an

I was wondering what would be the implications of publishing gitlab enterprise edition with an MIT license and make it easy to fork without subscriptions (basically like the community edition). From what I understand, the real value that yo

I have been following the development of Openshot for the past 3 years and I can't help but think that the progress is very slow. Being an open source project and one in which a sufficiently large number of people are interested, why i

I don't how you would take into account all possible factors to make a perfect comparison, but objectively looking at the research and data available on this topic, it's clear to me that the USA is lagging in STEM fields. Some tec

There is lots of research which suggests that the USA is indeed lagging behind in STEM fields. K-12 does not prepare students well enough when compared to many Asian and European countries. The numerous research articles are a Google search

I am not complaining about the existence of such initiatives. It's great that they exist and as you said it is step one . But such initiatives cannot be a solution to a poor public school system.

You cannot conclude that the current school education is not ineffective(effective) just by looking at the number of Nobel Prize winners. The USA is lagging behind many countries in key areas( especially STEM fields). Anyway the point I was
