The really open secret part is the weirdness about his homes. Nude art, chessboard with half nude figurines of his staff.

No, they just have to offer ads without tracking clicks or impressions. Something similar to the former service of Project Wonderful.

That seems completely counterintuitive, billionaires already run the world and are directly accountable to impacts to the world economy. I don’t think they are trying to obtain more increments of power or wealth that no one would notice.

AMD uses TSMC’s process, so PowerPC could end competing with x86 for Western consumers as well.

I wish all these document hoards had an API to see if a name with an old wikipedia article was within the collection. Seems more likely there will be a chance mention of a London actor, and a handful of corrupt plutocrats.

US-based social media companies publish more methodology about how they remove Chinese accounts as opposed to how they remove American accounts. It becomes even more absurd considering that Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council contains no civ

People generally are naive. Many things can be said about that, I recommend reading Leary’s eight-circuit model of consciousness. Why do people support bad governments? I recommend reading about Havel's greengrocer. Obviously the Chine

Are we going to be arguing about reductionist philosophy? People are autonomic agents, yes. People share opinions, yes. Governments are comprised of people, yes. The line was quite eloquently drawn during World War One when it was illegal t

Imagine the workflow for the average PR department. Discover mentions of key terms and phrases, and when they occur, create an account and engage when future mentions are made. Bureaucracies have no rational sense.

That is not actually true. The loud ones are always the ones with the bullhorn, allowed to them by the powerful. I would be for censorship as well, if successful libel suits against publications meant they would be removed from the internet

The phrase is so vague as to be meaningless. They may as well have said “organized opinion setting”. I miss the time when there was a massive debate over the legality of removing the video Innocence of Muslims, to the extent there were op-e

There’s no census of independent art, and what is available to me is on the recommendation sidebar of various video sites, so I disagree, but acknowledge we live in different echo chambers.

Have you looked at Citizendium? It is the closest thing there is to a community curated encyclopedia.

It is a combination of novelty and uniqueness. Novel because it was the first time the author saw the moon landing. Unique because we are bombarded with videos all the time.

Yes, but those same artists now use open source 3D animation, and probably contribute to various indie game projects. Flash didn’t go away entirely because of security, there was no innovation, and the most anyone could aspire to was making

In a worse case scenario, you would barter. If the government has access to every single database, and a PROMIS-tier search engine, that is.

It requires very little equipment to fight a future war against pirates? Or even disorganized militia groups acting as pirates? The US did more to hamper oil prices by invading Iraq than anything else.

I find it unlikely that piracy and government navies imposing tolls on shipping lanes will return without a US Navy. The Petrodollar is dependent on the US Navy, but that is it. Very few militaries have modernized, until recently, if the Fa

Reading Gramna, I get the sense that Cuba is a country where no one dies, there is no public corruption, and the infrastructure is fine. Censorship is an amazing thing. The thing about sensationalism is that on some level, people think they

Electron is also using an old version of Chromium, and most electron apps are slow to update, making it more insecure than running the web app.

You do realize I’m replying to a post about how the more relevant term is “Agency Directors”? Now you’re replying to me about high-level HR decisions biasing the processes of government agencies. I don’t think there is anything to elaborate

So you don’t have to play ball in order to be cycled from public sector to private sector to high level government positions along with the attendant corporate lobbying to Congress on approving various government positions? It’s a pipeline

But the content creators don’t use Youtube for engagement (except for some cases where video comments are used). The problem is that they aren’t sysadmins, and they have no idea if any change would lead to a long-term improvement (which won

No, not explicit congestion control, the amount of entropy in what internet plan a user has (outside of a lossy CDMA-type connection) is fairly low. The sender should set window sizes, not assume ISPs should set an IP-level flag. Probes for
