They committed to letting him serve his prison term in Australia, if convicted.

Yes, when he was a fugitive potentially in possession of state secrets. I’m not saying it’s ok - just that now he’s in custody it’s a little different.

The Soviet’s had a newspaper called ‘Truth’. This is a kind of journalism the Russians are experienced with.

In assange’e case, the opposite is true. They were avoiding paying the cost before his leaks. Now the reputational damage is done and so there is less for them to avoid.

I doubt the US intends to murder him.

It’s part of the feedback loop but it’s not a cause. Intervening to alleviate inequality directly won’t change the other dynamics.

That just means you don’t know about China and the CCP. Anyone who did would never ‘automatically’ assume such a thing. As for being a shareholder kept in the dark, that’s absurd. I am a shareholder too, and almost no operational details

Apple is arbitrarily vulnerable to the CCP who can essentially shut down most of Apple’s worldwide manufacturing if it comes to that. Until Apple has a redundant supply and manufacturing chain, it’s absurd to expect them to resist the CCP.

No it isn’t. That was about standing up to IBM.

I don’t need to. You are the one who quoted it without justification. Feel free to justify yourself. Of course by now we can see multiple people in the comments who think you aren’t applying it properly. As far as I can see you are just u

You can keep asking that question, and it will continue not to add value to the discussions. Google’s metrics are based on increasing ad revenue. It doesn’t take a lot to see how that works against their mission statement.

by zepto 5y ago
No but it’s their original mission statement, which is similar to that of the Mundaneum, and Google has failed at it.

Google didn’t succeed. Most search results now are worse than in 2004.

They tried and failed at the beginning of the 20th century. Google tried again, using computers, at the beginning of the 21st century, and failed catastrophically.

Yes, my argument does amount to that. Your argument amounts to claiming you have a car that is impossible to steal, and yet becomes permanently inoperable if you press the wrong button on the dashboard. Being able to recover stolen property

My suggestion to reconsider is based on your definition being meaningless. I suspect you hadn’t thought through the implications. Your choice, of course. Regardless of your definition of “walled”, you seem to simply not know about tildes.

I don’t see how this makes any sense at all as a definition of ‘walled’. There are freely available and free of charge Gemini and Gopher clients for every platform, almost all of which are open source. No signups to any service are require
