Nope. Time is the only non-fungible asset being burned here and everyone is desperately defending their own allotment.

So, it’s not that other platforms are any better! Are you sure intel, AMD, Arm or windows TPM aren’t snitching on you? Do we need to make our own silicon from ingot? There’s no technological solution to this problem, only social and legisla

My guess is it’s also a matter of practical usage: they’re made of heavy iron and a round one will fall in place whatever orientation it’s thrown over the cover, while a different shape needs to be carefully oriented. I suspect this also m

Ouch, that’s so callous I hope you’re joking. The OP was actually arguing: > The fundamental issue here is incentives. Raising children is a lot of work and a secular worldview doesn't really provide a strong incentive. In other wor

Of course. The drive to have a child has nothing to do with economic stability and access to affordable housing, health care, food, schooling and the ability to have a good enough work/life balance that allows a parent to actually part

Well, we’re getting there: EU GDPR regulation. But given the inter-jurisdictional nature of the internet, I’m happy to use a device that makes it hard to syphon my personal data and dump it beyond reach

Next thing, Facebook lures users into side-loading their app. The app won’t provide any warning about the complete mirroring of any user activity, just “stay in contact with your loved ones” and “ooh kittens”. Everyone will install it beca

Nah, Sony was hell-bent on ATRAC and their proprietary memory stick standards. Not sure about the other major electronics manufacturers in JP, but the only one that sounds "technological trend setter" in my mind is Sony, so if the

Uh, I’ve read plenty about CIA techniques to overthrow undesired governments and a favorite trick is propping astroturfing campaigns claiming the wildest tripe and alt-truth against the soon-to-be “liberated”. So please, come up with proof

Nog sure about the intent of Google (and as they say, the road to hell is paved with good ones) but you’re reframing. It’s not a matter of censoring deviations from orthodoxy, rather one of removing disinformation and demonstrable falsehood

It’s like having a Yubi key soldered into your machine. Each identity you want to protect has its own key (so its’s not necessarily de-anonymizing) with physical access - pin, biometric verification - required for use. It’s potentially very
