Any blog or forum needs administration I'm not sure why are you stating this like some sort of undisputable truth.

Brexit is bad for me personally, but I'm sure that respecting results of a political procedures (referenda, elections) is exactly what should be done in a democracy, because not sticking to rules of the game is a direct way to destroy

Btw, I don't think it only works with a small number of transmitters. In the UK they has been taxing TV watching, and managed to have a huge fleet of specially equipped vans cruising streets, identifying where are TV sets (and it'

To be sold in a particular country every model needs certification which obviously may be a very complicated thing if that country's authorities are not happy with counter-censorship capabilities. Moreover, in many countries (including

They already do it: first of all, by controlling of import/sales of equipment, and by incentivizing citizens to tip police. Also, there are frequency control inspections which keep maps of radiotransmitting activity. It's easy to

To be fair, there's a grain of truth in this downvoted comment. Western elites increasingly turning in favor of censorship using blurry definitions of "hate speech", "extremist materials", "terrorist propaganda

In many countries sending something over a satellite requires registration (which can be used for control subsequently), or even a license. Unless it will be a type of technology which is very hard to block, and locate, I wouldn't expe

It's very American reaction. As an Eastern European I find it's just funny.

Yes, except practically nobody claims that it's black-and-what. This idea which is under attack (for which James Damore got fired, for example) is that measuring equality by setting 50/50 female-to-male ratio as an ideal doesn&#x2

Sorry, I hear "when it's against my preferred candidate it's absolutely horrible". Transparency, and informed decisions are usually claimed to be good for democracy. Hacked emails may play for this, even if done for anot

Well, nothing except other laws prevent law-making institutions from creating any law. But, I think, it's not an argument in itself :-)

In real life, most of the corporate leaks are accidental. Disappearing messages, and sharing/printing restrictions can perfectly augment employee training, reminding them that some things require more careful touch, and reduce the chan

The article is essentially about tax authorities trying to offload their work on AirBnB. Irresponsible owners will not disappear if it happened.

It's not "pseudo", it is a tool to reduce risks of accidental leaks, and to enforce discipline. Used in a right context it increases security. However, I agree that it's proprietary, and it would be better to have such t

But it supports the notion. Even in the States lots if people don't exactly know what happened, outside of US it is virtually unknown.

Hacked emails is certainly a cybersec thing, but the fact that backstage politics secrets sometimes become public is nothing new, and not necessary bad for democracy.

External influences is nothing new, and is part of politics for as long as masses opinion matters. If democracy would not able to work with it, it wouldn't exist.

They've spent centuries arguing for a definition of free will that no one actually holds This statement is incorrect, and actually prove the very thing you intended to deny. It's not like adherents of C. held a plebiscite, isn&#

holding a learning agent responsible is the moral feedback needed to correct that error in judgement. That's exactly where the trouble is. In case of strict logical determinism we correct nothing because everything is predestined. Ho

For starters, majority of philosophers never make a stable ground for absolutist statements ("turned out to be false“). Compatibilism is a kind of comfortable opinion, because it simply avoids thorny questions regarding logic, and mora

Highly politicized voters tend to see things through a tribal lense: our tribe resists bad people with fists if necessary, their tribe does violence. Our leader has a freethinking stance to sex, their leader is sexual predator. There are of

Your observations don't disprove anything in the article. The author doesn't say that brute force is the way to go, and one has to cease all tries to optimize just waiting for computing power to increase. He says that essentially
