So compelling, with a dictator, closed-off information and all. So utterly compelling.

This whole thing is such a phenomenally stupid idea in nearly every way. Foreign companies have had longer to develop and are superior in nearly every single way. Why supress them? The data protection laws are a good idea, though I suspect

China is an authoritarian state. China isn't going to bow down to Google. The honorable, and the correct, thing for Google to do is not operate in China, but of course they aren't going to do that.

Yes, and Xi Jinping is a good candidate for that leadership. Just because, oh, new leadership.

Wow, a bunch of words, with no real promises worth a damn. I'm so impressed.

You've got a point there. I'm just so sick of all this. The Internet's a great thing, but it just seems to be going downhill with corporate interests.

That's really what I meant by efficiency. Ease of use increases that for businesses, that's the only reason they really care about ease of use of products they want to buy.

Google has done a lot of shit before, but I sure as hell trust them more than Microsoft at the moment when it comes to acquisitions.

The whole world's demanding it. No one really knows how to do it efficiently, it seems.

Why is this happening? I see the argumnent that these organizations are private companies and can do whatever they see fit, including censorship, I see no reason why these should not be opposed on principle. Global expression of ideas shoul

You're conflating the tech industry (what's with the constant air quotes) with the kind of people who are concerned about these laws and the effects of the dangerous precendent they set. >People in "tech" overall does

So what you're saying is a vastly less rich and organized populace was never able to communicate their arguments in a concentrated enough manner so that Congress would care? Who would've thought. This argument is stupid. The funda

Definitely agree here. The EU in general is a good idea in terms of diplomacy, but it really shouldn't have this much power.

Dude, it's a robot. And the very fact that they were able to do this, regardless, is amazing.

Wow, they're being so goddamn vague with it as well in order to mislead people. "Protecting children" my fucking arse.

Personally, I feel the reason we think of these as completely different problems is that it isn't necessarily natural to see the abstraction between all of them. I don't understand monads fully myself, but it's still kind of

People often attribute this to careful language design - and to be completely honest, I can't say anything about that since I'm just some kid, but I feel like that doesn't make the BDFL immune to criticism. TCO, for example,

I've been waiting for this for a very, very long time. I've not learned Haskell yet but generally speaking I'm very fond of FP in all languages, including Python. However, the BDFL has arbitrarily decided that Python shouldn&

Not only that, but he dryly calls commercial computer science a "symbol manipulation" job, which I find frankly extremely insulting and unnecessary to drive his point.

That's kind of missing the point, everyone's git local clones are still there, I can still work on the code. Git's decentralisation is meant to make sure work doesn't stop altogether when the remote is down.
