We do nothing of the sort. We wait for the sea levels to rise and we build dams and walls. And we reinforce our buildings against natural disasters. And slowly the public demands changes on greenhouse gas emissions, recycling, etc, and it s

Current copyright laws, of course. Or else no one would write a book, sell software, make movies, write music. No sharing wouldn't be possible, unless in a very controlled environment like watching a movie in the cinema or using softwa

And the next time there is a large scale conflict, some neighbour country may feel tempted to use that opportunity to send a single division to your country and absorb it. Then you can say how wonderful it is to save a fraction of a percent

I think platforms like Facebook depend on being "cool" over some demographic. Then other demographics adopt it, time passes, other demographics grow tired of the same old Facebook look their parents also used, and Facebook starts

My point is not that everyone is bad. My point is that this is par for the course. We don't live in a world of law. We live in a world of civilian law separated and insulated mostly in countries, and over that, anything goes. We are no

Are you upset about the droning of civilians with very little oversight? Are you upset about the kidnapping of civilians into cargo ships to act as prisons without jurisdiction? This attack killed four people, let's say there have been

This is interesting as an investigative work, but what of it? Are we to believe only Russia conducts extra-judicial assassinations of people of interest? And do we expect the governments responsible to come out and admit it? To me this circ

Ah poor DuPont, who will think of the little and weak most powerful chemical company in the world. Oh the humanity.

That's not the point at all, because you don't know how significant was the result when changing the question, because this article conveniently doesn't mention it's sources and if you search a bit you find the probable

In this case the author is happy, but the point stands that he wasn't asked. And most people would be angry at receiving no attribution or warning.

But it won't, there's too much money involved to demonize China. And there are many other such examples of mass surveillance from the five eyes, CCTVs in major cities, less and less "freedom" in the web. Just this week i

I disagree. I think that companies have such a vast and strong grasp on public discourse, opinion, and even whole countries, that it will only get worse and worse. I'm sure some companies will sell "privacy" at a premium for

Because some people have feelings and get very offended and don't process some things as logically as others.

We should more than ever be teaching everyone not to use their real name on the internet, not to give out their phone number or private email address. In the internet and for businesses for advertising or any other avoidable purpose. This w

And rightly so. I'm surprised more countries haven't enforced rules on Facebook, like China does. Saying like "only things that are illegal are to be prohibited". It's insane to leave it arbitrarily to the opinion o

Just to add my 2 cents. I participated in elections before, both as a candidate and as member of the voting table (at instances at the same time as well). If there is some complicit agreement you can see certain leaning votes being discarde

I'd just like to correct one common misconception. It is not the government blocking sites, literally any company can just complain via email and the site is banned. No government oversight, no court order. Just being an important comp

I've tested it myself as well. It is still as laggy as I remember, such a shame. I really want a simple graphical editor that can color the files that have been modified in Git.

I wish I could use Atom but I work with very large files at time and it is very slow at some tasks (like selecting all selections of text and editing them all at once), forcing me to use Sublime Text. Can some kind user tell me if this late

China is also populous and oppressive enough that they can outlast the Uighurs in the long run, so there is little hope on this matter.

What a silly article. They saw themselves as greek, or macedonian, or athenian, or citizens versus slaves. Everywhere in the world people saw themselves and other as where they were from, their culture, etc. Travel was very difficult and mo

There is no legal right to Facebook, but if Facebook wants to do business here, it has to abide by our rules. And our rules are very simple, you cannot deny service because the user doesn't allow tracking if tracking is not necessary f

They have wiretapped the entire world with PRISM and other similar secret programs. They have seized and vanished a countless number of people to black site secret prisons. Who cares about Russia.

Hi there, I'm left wondering if you started this [1] from scratch or used a sample OS project? I don't understand why'd you initialize the GDT in the bootloader. [1] https://github.com/kbrsh/arc
