People here are obsessed about it, while I don't understand what the problem is. Just run a separate Linux (with kernel-level anti-cheat and trusted computing validation, whatever) for gaming only, that's all?

And how server-side detection of aimbot can look like? If the latter is not written by a retard, you're very quickly down to statistical detection. Which is also cat-and-mouse, but the cat is crippled.

Doing cost-benefit analysis of new technologies is a good idea. More often than not for the majority of people the answer is "obviously worth it", and that can give an impression of out-of-hand dismissal. I for one would take all

> No printing press is obligated to mass-print a book you write. This is off-topic, I feel. The article illustrates that there is a push to stop "printing press" from printing "your book" in cases when it's perfe

I find lane following quite stressful after it got confused by temporary-vs-permanent lines and tried to steer in the direction of a temporary barrier. Warnings are nice, actions - I'm not sure.

It will be easy to use neutrons from DT fusion to get weapon-grade plutonium. This may be easier to police, i.e. "there should be no uranium nowhere near a fusion plant", but that's a much subtler statement. And of course min

I don't understand the argument. If they're harmful enough, you ban them. If they are not, presumably you accept their existence? If you ban targeting instead, you just increase the cost of all ads, the ads from your list still re

That sounds to me more like an argument for banning alcohol/gambling ads.

When rich person pays others to, let's say, build a luxurious castle, the money is both redistributed back to the economy AND the castle is there to use, for a few centuries at least. That's how investing* makes the society wealth

Robinhood stopped people from purchasing a stock without margin, so I don't buy your second reason.

No, advocates cite improved "price discovery". You know, the only rational reason why stock markets exist in the first place.
