That seems kind of pedantic. From what the original commenter said, my immediate interpretation of it was that the obligation to procure the money and pay up is on his side, not that the $200k must be 'his' in some other way. It d

The demarcation is that my side celebrating someone's death is reasonable, level-headed criticism that reflects the will of the people and how dire the situation is - you've just gotta consider what we're saying and think tha

This entire story is a culmination of this effect. If 'celebrating someone's death' was a crime in the US, there's no doubt they would've used that to accuse that man. But since that's not actually illegal, the

Which developing countries? I thought that many of those countries were either tied up with 'real', physical crime or just wouldn't care about internet stuff all that much. Lots of sketchy websites (like lots of piracy-relate

I'm also gen Z. For me the reaction to Windows Aero was similar, but I guess that's just how it is because it's what we grew up with. The blog post is talking about imitating materials in general though, and I can totally see

Two of the other replies are wrong. This isn't actually about the new 18+ age verification stuff that countries seem to be ramming through right now - as far as I know, Discord uses third parties for that service. The link from Discord

In the hypothetical world that you've set out, where surveillance is so extreme and overreaching as to help finish off the entirety of the internet for good, there's no way it would stop at the internet. The goal isn't cont

That doesn't counter the argument. The people arguing against encryption would just liken it to the government being able to use military equipment that you, as an individual, can't have. "Free communication is a dangerous to

I expect it to become settled, just not in the way we want it. Sure, there is the rollercoaster, ups and downs, small wins and losses going on all the time. But look at the general trends - these freedoms that we enjoyed are by and large be

This blog is written by an anarchist - a member of a group that's infamously opposed to both things you mention as bad. Would you mind providing a more specific critique of what they're arguing? So far, all you've said just c

Regardless if you agree with the point or not, I'm not seeing the contradiction. Your government is capitalist, is it not?

You don't pay as much to retain an employee as you do to hire one. If your employee feels like they're earning 5-10% below market rate, it's probably far less likely that they'll want to find another job than if you pay

It's the same reason why people are okay being carded, but not okay with submitting their ID digitally to be recorded and retained forever. Meeting people in public has an obvious, logical bound. Being recorded does not. When you pass

Many multi-national organizations and alliances have some of these aspects, does that make them into countries too? In practice, being a country isn't just about filling out some checklist. The EU neither claims to be a country, nor do
