What's your complaint about youtube? They host exabytes of video and make it freely available worldwide. There is no better resource for video creators.

The fact that you can decide to sign up for it or not means it's not fascistic at all.

Trustworthy people don't need to tell others to trust them.

That did not happen because Google left. Google was never even close to beating baidu.

Considering they are not using any violence, I think this falls a bit short of the very definition of war.

Poor analogy. Yelp contains facts and user reviews. Encyclopedias contain facts conveyed through written articles. The writing and reviews may be copyright protected. Facts are not.

I can't tell if you're incredibly naive or if you just believe your parents are.

I don't think you understood the comment I was replying to, which advocated going to a totally different platform from the one your parents use in order to not share your life with them.

Other people have different priorities than you do? How "sad".

For normal people. sharing their lives with loved ones is a positive. Creating a social network for antisocial people makes no sense.

Because those ads didn't work. All they did was prove that the vast majority of people don't care about digital privacy.

Are you hung up with the speech vs text thing? Because that's so not the point.

If you were a woman, you'd have two dozen kids by now.

By evolution, or by socialization?

And if it is by evolution, that immediately presents the trivial solution that we will naturally evolve to relate better to machines, making this a nonissue.

So you agree that you have no such rights and freedoms. That seems like the practical view. The alternative is the path of craziness, filled with things like the "right to be forgotten".

How's that different from listening to any other human you interact with? Is it somehow worse because it's a computer rather than a human? That's the kind of bigotry that gets you robot uprisings.

No, the logic is the same. Specialization drive efficiency. Have the fishermen fish. You do what you're good at.

Would it really? How many people do you know who learn to fish compared to the number who buy fish when they want to eat some?

Their competition - payday loan companies - are bad enough that none of that matters as long as they manage to satisfy enough loud customers. Ever hear of this company called Uber?

I would be shocked if that were possible to do.

Until it becomes standard in all registers.

People don't contribute. That's why they are desperate for developers.

Sourceforge was compromised by bad people. Dice bought them.

It'd probably be far easier. Plenty of people would be willing to learn UE4 or already know it. Who wants to learn Wesnoth Markup Language?

If it were extremely successful, they wouldn't have written this blog post begging for help to save the project from dying.

And there are countries in which the police would just shoot you and take your cash. That doesn't say anything about whether cash is better than electronic payments, it says don't live in such shitholes.

There is plenty of competition on that side. The bigger problems are that these people are uneducated and don't trust banks. They also frequently get part or all of their income in ways that dissuade from from putting it in banks because they do not want to pay taxes on it or have to explain what illegal things they did to earn it.

That thwarting is honestly trivial to counterthwart without even trying. The register at the coffee shop knows which note Alice paid with and which ones they gave in change.

It's not. They are both fine.

5 years with that number of drivers is a ton of data.
