The reason it’s unnecessary is because current mechanisms are enough to stop Google and FB from making money on Chinese citizens, which makes it unprofitable to spy and manipulate them.

That’s one way to see it. Another is that those “abusive comments” aren’t abusive in any way - in fact abusive comments are widely tolerated here - but they are politically incorrect to you. Did you warn users who posted “abusive comments”

Sanctions cost lives too. And sure, there is no equivalence between them and the literal ethnic genocide Russia has been perpetrating for the past five months, but you can’t really claim US isn’t actively hostile towards Cuba: it literally

You’re oversimplifying - there were also biolabs and the pigeons genetically engineered to detect and target racially pure Russians.

Of course we are at war - Russian nazis invaded, and so we are defending. But you can’t send nukes, because 1. Nukes are bit more complicated than vodka or coal, and given that nowadays Russia can’t even make a car, nukes need regular ser

Are you sure BBC or CNN weren’t banned in Iraq? Because there is a quite a difference between the offensive side (US and UK in Iraq, Russia in Ukraine) and the defending side. Also, RT block is very different from censorship in China: it’s

Most of the gas is used for industry, not heating. And even the industry seems to be able to lower the usage quite drastically. It’ll be tough for economy of course. Also, everyone has just realized Russian army was all bluff. Every sing

When your firmware is crashing all the time, sometimes cranking up the cpu voltage can make it work. Even though you have no idea about how or why it works.

Except destroying Cuban economy with sanctions, which continue to this day. There is a difference though: we can’t punish US, because it’s a superpower. USSR was a superpower too. But Russia isn’t.

It is fascinating, yet it still makes relatively little use of a complicated and capable machine that is a spider, relative to when we can be in a few decades from now. On the other hand we still can’t even get dogs to deliver mail, so…

Navy has an extremely high bar for safety according to Navy itself, but accidents sometimes get classified for a couple of decades. It happened before, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Site for example.

It’s not “anything”: it’s not like Fox News is banned, or antivaxers. We are talking about an actual shooting war between a genocidal regime and the western civilization, and the ongoing process of Russia turning from “Nigeria with nukes”[

RT isn’t banned because we don’t like what it says - it’s banned because it’s a part of information war. It’s not media - you won’t find there a single fact you wouldn’t get from western media. Which, btw, is very obvious when you actually

I believe OSI was at least as much corporate as it was governmental. And, like most corporate solutions it ended like it ended, with design by committee. IP on the other hand was neither, like much of successful technology. As a side note,

The “infamous Dropbox comment” was technically valid - there’s no novel technology there. What the comment missed was the business part - Dropbox is technically inferior, but at the same time it’s superior business-wise, and that’s a commo

Reddit is more like Usenet than Slashdot. I’d say Reddit is literally just a technically inferior version of Usenet.

Yes - look at the table summarizing discoveries of bodies, then follow to the sources. Contrary to the article above, those are not “alleged” or “unproven”.

There have been filesystems that don’t use strict block sizes - Reiser4 IIRC. It’s not done often because the savings are tiny and it complicates implementation a lot. A bigger problem I can see is that Unix file system semantics is… hairy

Solaris had merged /bin and /usr/bin for like two decades. The difference nowadays is mostly cosmetics; one is a symlink to the other and that’s mostly it. It could make a difference in the eighties when there was a reaso

Quick look at sources from Wikipedia confirms that the articles’ basic assumptions have a rather loose association with facts. And the site itself is known for propagating hoaxes and promoting alt-right (Noah Carl).
