Safari is definitely in the technological pessimism camp as that's Apple's party line on the open web. Safari has continuously caused "headache" to businesses that rely on tracking user behavior for years now, as Apple i

Well that's the thing the article touches, people tend to think that military history is not studied in a serious manner as far as an academic discipline goes. Military academies can do the bare minimum in rigor as far as they need to

Of course they put themselves in the shoes of the guys holding your privacy in contempt as, in the best of case, a measure to save at worst a few days of engineering hours. They imagine that lowering the bar for privacy benefits them and th

I look at the different language wikis all the time for that reason (and because I'm a native Spanish speaker who prefers the English Wikipedia), but it's just routine to scroll to the language selection list completely ignoring t

Unlike these Silicon Valley carpetbaggers that seek to profit off people´s data, we have declined repeated opportunities to sell, collect, or mine data, and just patriotically take copious amounts of blood money from military and security

It really does depend. There are people go by without ever questioning their wants, and never take responsibility for their own emotions in the most basic ways. They make every single one of their upsets someone else's responsibility a

It absolutely reads like an ad and an a pedantic ad to boot. The system wasn't built to handle modern workloads, that might be part of why people decry it being ancient. Despite starting out talking about architecture, which would be a

Given that it's a completely nonsense answer among the outliers, I wouldn't be as concerned as to with the people that put it in the Balkans or confuse it with Turkey.

It's an extravagant view to say the least. Iran is one of a series of major, independent, influential polities that have succeeded one another since 550 BC in the same region with a degree of continuity, with an immense historical impa

It means that you have been wholesale influenced rather than informed about the conflict that politicians are peddling to you, as you don't have a grasp on the most basic facts of the matter. We're talking of civilian support for

Is it not interesting because of the lack of novelty, or not interesting because you think it's acceptable to want to kill someone but not to actually know much about them?

This is a very simplistic analysis of these particular regulations, and not at all a way to extrapolate to regulations in general. If we have no way of making up for the water consumption and pollution caused by appliances, then there is no
