I mean, 1.2M views for the whole channel is... almost nothing, in terms of $? Surely not enough to affore new comfy bed and pillows?

But how much can you acquire without triggering some FBI/police alarm? I honestly don't know, but I think it's harder now than in 1995.

Something does not add up here. Making RV full of explosives and exploding it in a right place not a small feat. Oklahoma City Bombing, for example, took 8 month from start to final blast. 5G paranoids, IMHO, have attention span of a fly

Honest question, no snark --- which consumer space problems were solved, if I don't play Go and don't have FB account to recognize me on a group photos (both of these two statements are true)?

How true. "Those evil Trump campaign staffers turned election in his favor using amazing evil micro-targeting FB techniques which are complete scam and do not work at all". Pretty coherent point of view.

Of course it was awful. It was 1997. But you can't claim that something "wasn't possible 5 years" ago, if 7 years ago said feature was included in inexpensive consumer product (LG TV). I'm not acting cynical, but it

Honest question -- do you think that without Facebook there will be no tensions between anti-maskers and people who insist on wearing masks everywhere? Is FB really to blame here?

by nopriorarrests 6y ago
OK, agree. But then, don't shift the blame to 'malicious state actor'. This is their decision and they own it in full.

30% is HUGE, and this is why I do not buy the idea that you can get such percentage of votes because of some evil state actor who posts ads on facebook, with independent press, TV, all being available and popular as well. If some party got

Being originally from Russia, I know how things work there. I mean, government contractors aren't saints in every country, it's a well known fact, but in Russia they are on a whole different level.

Yeah, I know. Russia would have a lot to gain from: -- Trump being re-elected -- Yellow Vests riots in France -- Brexit -- Alternative for Germany party rise in Germany and all of these happened because of Facebook+Russia. Sorry, but this i

I never said it simple. Choosing between driving dodge ram or prius also affects others, because pollution. All I said that freedom is having mutiple choices.

Freedom is having a choice. Between, say, having fun in overcrowded bar till 3am or staying in your apartment alone, ordering delivery and watching netflix. Quite simple.

What worldview? This is purely objective point. If you have 5% of AMZN, Besos has 95%, I have none and AMZN stock doubles in value, you can easily calculate the outcome in terms of dollar gains and how much inequality had risen.

I see it as a good thing. Russia waste less capital and valuable human resources on vanity projects. I know that HN crowd will dislike my view, since space is hot topic, but well, I would rather focus on something more tangible. Germany ha
