That's the opposite of totalitarian, btw, if we're interested in words.

That is not even remotely true. GDPR expressly affords revoking consent—and deleting any information gathered—at any time.

One interesting thing is that “25% more work” is taken at face value. In my experience, that 25% does not equate to 25% more productive in any non-assembly line job. Americans are busier, spend more time at work, and don’t get any more wo

“Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.” Smugness is certainly a fact, but so is that brexit will leave the UK economically worse off in pretty much all respects. Especially the poor.

Looking up any symptoms at all on the web is pretty much the worst possible thing a health anxiety sufferer can do. As it is, nearly any symptom you put in will bring up the possibility of cancer, so it’s all just noise. Being able to conne

That dissection is pretty poorly made. First, the author “paraphrases” Applebaum’s use of “vicious and spurious”: > I can’t directly say the allegations are false. Then, a few lines below, the author quotes Applebaum as saying: >>

“Move somewhere less expensive” (= rural) is terrible advice, and I’m not sure how it gets bandied about so much. Ignoring the often prohibitive costs of moving itself and possibly needing to buy a car for local transport, for example, the

If we can reliably cure it (let’s say immunotherapy advances or whatever), it might not be worth the risk of side effects from preventive manipulation.

My email client just shows the name… And in any case, “nobody complained about it” isn’t actually a valid legal defense.

Freedom requires transparency. That’s what free means. Not “companies free to do whatever they please”.

FWIW multilingualism isn’t just for the privileged, by a long shot (though I don’t know what the sample for the study was). Lots of people in third world countries are bi- or multilingual.

Viking seems much more limited—and is US-based, which creates its own problems. IVPN does look interesting, so I’ll have to re-review them… I’m still on Freedome’s trial, and it’s been working stellar including comparable speeds. Exit nodes

It’s less work if you need to use multiple locations for geocircumvention, at least. I’m happy to pay somebody 5/mo to handle that + patching etc. etc.

No, kids don’t really start school pre-equipped with English skills. In fact, most preschooler shows are dubbed. The previous exposure helps some, especially those who can already read the subtitles, but more important is that when they a

You’re conflating two things: the polarization within the Congress and outside it. Before, when people didn’t have access the way they do now, the small connected elite of politicians and other decisionmakers were able to coerce and smoot

The language around ‘good faith’ and ‘best effort’ seems really dicey. Leaves a lot of room for legal trouble if someone wants to cause it.
