I know the article says they can connect using Tor. But by reading that paragraph, I couldn't be sure if that allows the distributed hosting to continue working properly, or if it just allows access but defeats the distributed hosting

by wtdata 7y ago
Well, does the distributed hosting work with TOR? What about with a VPN (like the free one included in Opera)?

Your point logically implies that you are against increasing life conditions of the people that are born poor in those countries with high birth rates.

Local agriculture won't feed 7 billion people and even worst went the method you are proposing is GMO, fertilizer and pesticide free.

Very well, but why don't these reports ever call for reducing the birthrate in countries where this is exploding [1]? Now they are asking us to stop meat consumption, but the if number of people keeps increasing, what will they ask us

My bad I misunderstood your answer to my first comment. I understood you were taking about the marketability of the produce, not of the means of production. In any case, that is the reasoning of my second point when originally answering to

My comment you were responding to, had absolutely nothing to do with drones. The comment was about perpetually blaming the EU/US for whatever bad happens in 3rd world countries.

Please explain how blaming Europe/US for all the problems non western countries face, is "empathy". Because it really looks like "ideology", not like "empathy".

This is the new version of Western Exceptionalism: Everything - bad - that happens in the world, is always fault of Europe or the US. The people that live in those countries, the warlords they support, the wars they fight, the human atrocit

Saving someone that is about to drown, if directly faced with the situation, is clearly a moral (and probably legal) duty. But I world argue, that supporting a solution to actively prevent someone from putting themselves in a situation wher

Well, so far the US only designated China as a currency manipulator. No actual action followed about that designation. My take is that is just a way to pressure China to accept other measures (like increased tariffs) for now.

You are going in a circular argument. Your original words were: "The pro-life position of forcing women to not have abortions is indeed intolerant of their rights." See, you equate "intolerance" with defending to violate

You are effectively arguing that, in Alabama, for instance, since 2 months ago, pro choice are the intolerant ones and pro life are the non intolerant. After all, the law there, says so according to your reasoning. > A can stab B and B c

by wtdata 7y ago
I think you are missing the point. The point is that you argue that pro life are intolerant because they don't respect woman rights. Well, then, using your argument, in a society where unborn children have rights, the exact same thing

Freedom of speech already existed when society at large was vastly less educated than today.

by wtdata 7y ago
In the examples you have given, it all comes down to a particular society definition of whom has rights and whom doesn't. Your argument is based on a specific society where law states unborn children have no rights. In a society where

China has an autocratic regimen, it's difficult to gather what the population there truly thinks about US trade tariffs, when they all pretend they never even heard about Tianamen.

I am wondering what does this mean (if anything) to the huge amount of US public debt that China holds.
