I also don't see how anyone can trust Google with any of these technologies considering how they have been butchering all of their existing applications or outright shutting them down. Gmail is a shell of itself. Google Docs are a glorified

It always boils down to, we do what we want (to preserve the peace / our world order), and then if you try to do the same thing we'll come mess you up with our military. The whole point is to create legal and rhetorical justification for wh

We have as much right to defend the behavior as you have to attack it. It's an arbitrary questions of norms and of tolerance to criticism. In modern society it seems that we're so isolated and insecure in ourselves that we can't handle crit

Yes but when you are extending it... it's not trivial. So the price curve jumps from a few hundred dollar to thousands of dollars if you try to do anything significant.

- Websites have become much more complex. It just appears that they are simpler. WP makes it seem like nothing to press a button and upgrade. Behind the scenes thousands of lines of code are doing work. When those lines of code break and yo

The insurance companies are going to "negotiate" with the hospitals in which the hospital's bargaining position will be to offer fewer services, or the reduce the level of service provided. That's what it looks like from the inside. The ins

We need to spy on the government as invasively as the government spies on us. We need to legalize that globally. Every waking minute of every leader's life needs to be monitored and reported to the people. People should be scared to lead be

I don't get the whining. US spies on everyone, Israel spies on the US heavily, Russia spies on the US as well. Why the hell does the US keep whining about Chinese spying? What's so special about China? Can't US protect itself from cyber att
