Why not just give these mega corporations complete control over the whole internet, while we're at it?

You're right. As much as I'd like to give a well-thought-out argument to the horribleness of this kind of thinking, I think my time will be more useful for people doing other more productive things than convincing bigots of the me

The description of people migrating from developing countries (that to a large extent are still reeling from the West's previous colonization efforts and current neo-colonialist control) as "colonizing" the foreign country an

The thing I miss the most after switching from Samsung to Redmi phone is the One Hand Plus app that Samsung has on their galaxy phones. It was really a treat and a productivity boost. Don't know much about their other software offering

What a horribly written article. Just throwing a bunch of names and not stating the proposed strategy until the last paragraph (by only giving just one strategy). The title is peak clickbait as well.

There's difference between raising hope and raising hype. Those Twitter gurus ride on any wave convincing of people of whatever they can just to get more traffic. It's mostly harmless until you find people obsessing over updates a

Ok I reached 19,098 and I think it'd take a lot of time to improve that. It gets too fast at level 50 for my mortal reaction-time.

11,800 with a multiplier of 40 ;D It's really all about the endgame knowing when how to manipulate the ghost's position. Sometimes it's worth it to wiggle back and forth until the ghost gets close to you in the middle to be a

That's a really eloquent way of saying "It's already happening, so give up on it." I'm sure it works out great for taking action and solving problems.

Yeah, journals are too shy to post these criticisms. What the hell is the use of a paper if there is no public peer review?

Besides the other comment which is quite correct, we're going to suffer from B far before we will suffer from A.

We will pay for them (through governmental taxes) instead of the advertised products that the advertisements get us to pay for. It's a net-win for the community.

The collective community ends up paying a lot more in quality of life with these ads up. Also, ads are the primary way to get the lower economic classes to give their money to the rich.

Piracy is so much more than that. If that is your concern you should specify it. Even then the morality is still debatable but in my view discussion of it is a distraction from the bigger issues.

Theoretically, you would be right. However, it did reach the state of limiting ownership when the providers started changing the terms of service making the copy you have not entirely yours. Nothing forced them to do that except their own i

How can a student not participate in the use of the ill-gotten goods of textbooks for their studies? For a researcher in a developing country for research papers? Nobody dies, but a lot of people fall behind. It doesn't beg the questio

I think GP was a valid comment about how people propping up business hostility is one of the main reasons consumer law is very weak in the US. Of course, people are allowed to have opinions. GP is arguing what the results of one of these op

They talk about stress-testing of livestreaming towards the end of the article. A quick search shows that they've done several of them for videos as well. The peer-to-peer structure really protects them from sudden scale in demand.

Really depends on which servers you follow.

Yeah, but this sort of article is what you get at the end of the day. Plus there are several ways of getting rid of false positives and as GP said: at least do it before posting.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't hold an organization accountable for their publicized mission statement. Especially its board and directors.
