Companies seem dedicated to making it work. Sony has their Playstation Now service and I believe Microsoft has a cloud based Xbox game streaming service in the works.

I admit that but switching to Signal does me no good if no-one I know uses it. I am not saying no-one should switch.

When 90% of the people you email are on Gmail or GSuite does Proton mail really help? Yeah you get end to end encryption for other Proton mail users, but I don't know a single one. Google is going to have all of my emails anyway. As fo

Ok so lets say they do nothing, the business receiving fake negative reviews closes as a result and people lose their jobs. Was that the morally superior choice?

Yes, and he didn't come from money. Grew up on a farm in Iowa.

Yes, I wish I had started doing that years ago. I went back through all my old bookmarks that I had saved from the past 2 decades and a significant portion are dead now.

It is mostly because he has hosted some controversial guests such as Milo Yiannopoulos, Jordan Peterson, and Sargon of Akkad. And by hosting them he is accused of giving the alt-right a platform while also not sufficiently attacking their v

There is a contingent out there who are very much against him if only for the reason that he has given a platform to people they don't like.

Meanwhile I pay $630 every six months for water no matter how much or little I use. So $100 a month seems right on to me.

It might not save a lot of mental "effort" but they still save a lot of time that would otherwise be spent on writing simple boilerplate code.

So those with power to enforce their ideals on society get to decide morality then?

Yes, I thought the article would be about privacy concerns. Instead it was a rant about v2, not mentioning v3 at all (except for mistaking v2 for v3). Ultimately there was little substance here.

Aren't there concerns of the state going after doners to pay child support in cases where the legal guardians have some hardship/separate etc? Or should that just be "in the fine print" when you donate?

He says everything he consumes in the US is of lower quality than in Europe. If high quality goods are available in the US then he is simply choosing to consume low quality goods. Again, you may be right about what people broadly value, but

It may be true in some broad sense but does he expect me to believe he is unable to find a quality croissant or coffee in New York? And just has to watch mindless reality television, instead of documentaries while in the states?

Yeah in retrospect those missing maps were terribly unbalanced. They worked at the time because most people just played to have fun and get kills, and were less focused on the objective. Now even in causal mode everyone is focused on the ob

I had a client who would have his secretary print out all of his nonspam e-mails. He would hand-write his response on the print out, and then have his secretary fax it to us. Eventually they decided to get more modern, and his secretary wou

I recall there being two competing community built editors. JKEdit and JED. I believe I used JED to make a few not so good maps. Good times indeed.

There are places in the US that offer that type of experience, as well as several other alternatives to crowded noisy bars. Although it could be location dependent on what your options are.

I don't think it is even possible to setup an Echo without that app, so I'm not exactly sure how downloading the app is an extra step. You would have already needed to do that to get it connected to your wifi network.

I, for one, am happy to see all my old AIM conversations deleted and lost forever.

A comment that is meant to rile people up and incite a response, while the OP has no intention of responding to anyone.

The parent comment suggested that these devices are already sending all of your conversations to Amazon. Which they are not. Of course the potential exists for devices to be compromised in the future, and that is something everyone should b
