That attitude sounds like a myopic focus on the software at the expense of everything else. Say that in the year 2160 you have perfect, unbreakable encryption on your pocket computer. How will you use it? With a…
That's what happens when you are on someone else's web. So far, China is the only one deciding they are unhappy enough with the arrangement to build their own web, but the option exists for any country, or even…
Anyone can find a quote that says anything. >"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever." - George Orwell: 1984, 1949. Welp, guess that's it for freedom. A person from the…
It's very difficult to keep your digital record clean your entire life. Anyone who manages it is either very able and motivated or Amish.
Others sufficiently cover the actual killing. I would only add that wasting peoples' time and/or money at scale is just as bad. Waste 30 seconds for each of 100 million people and that's an above average human lifetime.…
Execution. Facebook is big enough that it would serve as a useful warning.
Even more good could be done if the money were spent well, but the fact that the tax must be paid at all serves as the incentive that pushes behavior in a more environmentally friendly direction.
Not agreeing isn't the same as not understanding.
Your criticism is based on a fundamental misunderstanding. The US prison system is not intended to rehabilitate anyone, and does not do so. Usually, criminals are even worse when they are released due to the time…
Not having firsthand experience as a person who is someone in the Chinese government apparatus, it sounds like it should be possible to just pay the tax you owe. But hey, maybe that kind of thinking is why I have no…
Ad blocking doesn't eliminate ads, it just forces advertisers to astroturf rather than labelling their ads explicitly.
Examples of what not being true? You jumped from "people" to "regimes" between paragraphs but the transition wasn't complete. If you are looking for examples of people who aren't part of an authoritarian regime but…
If that argument were compelling, shareholders would do that. They aren't in it just to spite workers.
I think it's a realistic one. Is the integrity of your votes more important to you than your bank account? Or your medical history? It's not to me.
Facebook forbids them to learn something about Facebook. It was the phone's fault when they didn't limit what data Facebook pulled from it. Modern ones do just that.
Fake cakes provide themed decoration, just like the fancy lace curtains or floral centerpieces that are also common at weddings. It's basically the exact same reasoning you gave for knockoff clothes.
I don't see how it makes sense to copy a strategy that loses money when someone else is already following that strategy and going broke due to all the money they're paying you.
It's called the Duck Hunt principle.
Maybe we'll know 50 years after everyone involved is dead. As your own article points out, the senators certainly had the power to hold the CIA accountable. The fact that they did not do so despite making angry noises…
The spying agencies are as accountable as any other agencies. They do what they do at the behest of the public's elected representatives.
Really? Chinese investors sound like exactly the people who would most want a secure private VPN.
The offer is there. It's freedom, and most people don't want it.
The headline and article are written as if it's somehow outrageous that a text could do this, but when an old-school verbal shout can trigger a lynching, if anything, it would be a letdown if an electronic message…
Work towards the destruction of the westphalian nationstate-based system by undermining and disrupting the institutions of media and commerce they are built on. AKA work for facebook.
Thankfully, you're not the first person to think of this, so there are also many ways to buy fake engagement.
