The talk can be taken in two ways. 1) It's a reasonable comparison of centralised and decentralised systems. 2) It's a way to discredit decentralised systems so people move to Signal because Moxie is a corporate / government

> The UK spent 10s of millions on policing costs monitoring abscondment. They didn't have to. The fact they chose to throw ridiculous amount of money away besieging some guy because US dislikes him, is on them, not on Assange.

They are slowly scaling the event up. Hamburg were 15k people. Last year was 18k. But they are careful to scale it slowly so that things dont collapse.

It's ridiculous. Why is hurting one person with a knife to get wallet punished more than hurting tens of thousands of people to get better results in Excel? It's obvious that if you're rich, you get away with anything and the

VSCode is a pure marketing effort, trying to convince people that Microsoft isn't all that evil. WSL is more sinister - it's a counter to "I want to run Linux on my desktop / laptop". It is a carrot to the stick of

If you look at it from the point of the view of the game creator, Epic is better - they take smaller cut and they will outright give you money for exclusivity. This might not seem necessarilty better for the players, but considering how man

I don't understand why people have problem with Epic Store. Isn't this just the competition everyone should want? Steam takes 30 % of your money. Epic takes 12 %. They are competing on cost. Why would that be a problem? Why is th

If you consider concentration camps, gulags, or whatever as anything other than evil, I don't think I can convince you. Such way of thinking seems really alien to me.

What you're saying seems to be built on assumption that all "politics" is the same. It absolutely isn't. Evil (fascism, concentration camps, ehtnic cleansing, ...) and fighting against evil, are both political stances, b
