I enjoy that when the intelligence and brashness has a point other than stroking its own ego. Linus for example, is an example of the positive (imo) face of what you’re talking about, because it’s not about something petty from nearly 30 ye

It seems like a really silly hill to die on, but then this whole debate seems like a boring pissing match. My only thought on finishing the article was, “what a waste of my time this was,” and that was just reading it, not living it. Maybe

Having data on someone doesn’t constitute any kind of damage. So I don’t understand how I benefit from this at all. You understand, you just disagree and you seem intent on moving the goalposts as needed to make your “GDPR = bad” point.

Anarchism is the proper response to all of these abuses. In the same way that your car breaking down means you should abandon it forever and just walk everywhere you want to go. It’s also a good idea, if you ever get food poisoning, to ju

Most things Tesla seem to come down to SpaceX and Mars. When I have a conversation about a car company and it ends up veering off to Mars, I realize that it was never really a conversation about cars to begin with. Having said that, I don’t

Why can’t you curse on broadcast tv or radio in the US? Just for one of many examples where the previous “vocal minority” have dictated policy. Why are there blue laws? Why is pot illegal at the federal level in the US? Prostitution? Religi

If nearly 14% did, that’s amazing and a much larger percentage than I would have ever expected. Of course depending on the methodology, and given the diversity of FB accounts, 5000 in a survey is probably meaningless. Still, let’s give it a

I’m not an expert, and a year sounds like a long time, but here’s some information to answer a few of your questions. Is it yogurt? Sort of. Sour cream is also fermented milk products, but we don’t call it yogurt. That’s maybe a bit arbitra
