Disclaimer: IANAL As far as telephony is concerned (things like SMS are a different story), a phone provider cannot legally do this, even if you signed some ToS agreement. According to the FCC, phone providers, including voip providers, hav

They click things because people pay them to, for a variety of reasons. Were some of the people paying them engaging in fraud? Probably.

Who says the click farm was offering such a service? It seems to me the offer is clicking things repetitively for money. You can argue that in some cases the farm was an accessory to fraud in that it knew or should have known its clients we

Mathematics may be rooted in that, in a historical or pedagogical sense, but areas of math can certainly be disconnected from physical intuition. Non-measurable sets (e.g. those in Banach-Tarski) and transfinite numbers cone to mind.

I see from your profile that you are blind, so you're likely missing some context here. The "Opening Quotes" are more aptly described as title cards that appear at the end of each opening. Generally, the title cards are the F

I don't see what the experiment says about memory , it seems to only show that a coarse level of fear/stress in response to stimuli can be communicated. If you have the shock conditional on something like a color of light and cou

Is there something about multi-user that makes it harder than single-user? If it boots, it's all software at that point, no?

It's about selectivity. If you're in a group conversation and you always interject when a certain person starts to speak, that seems like censorship. If a teacher requires one student to always raise his hand, but anyone else can

This focuses on the proprietary software aspect (unsurprisingly as it's the FSF), but more concerning to me is the fact that this makes students beholden to account deletion or censorship by these companies. Write an anti-Google essay,
