> terrorists, pedophiles, drug dealers, and money launderers
At some point, unless you want everyone making their own personal moral judgements (including people who e.g. don't think women should have rights?), it should be permissible to deal neutrally with everyone who wants to do business with you. Let the law enforcers enforce the law, let the bankers bank.
Edit: clarity.
Are there any alternatives then, that do work against this threat model? It seems like a lot of the real need for such a tool is for journalists and activists who do need protection against national-level threat actors.
You said there's "no evidence". I said you were wrong, and apparently could muster better information than you could. That's not rhetoric, that's logic and evidence.
It's a well-understood drug, and any doctor worth their license would know how to use it safely.
> Revoked FDA use authorization
All that means is that more evidence is required before there's an official stamp of approval. "this drug may not be effective to treat COVID-19..." is what the actual request to revoke authroization said.
> Example of researches [sic] that doesn't see an effect of hydroxychloroquine
And there's other evidence contradicting that.
You said there's "no evidence" it's beneficial. That's pretty clearly false, merely based on what I already linked (maybe you should broaden your reading habits). We can debate the degree of confidence the accumulation of studies can give us, but that's outside both our leagues.

That's the difference: over there, you can actually consider possibilities that aren't part of the official story, and then come to your own conclusions. CNN was simply wrong; 4chan was noisy, but did have the right answer.
If you ignore everything on CNN that was wrong, in some cases (like vitamin D and hydroxychloroquine) there's nothing left at all.
If that were the case, they would be far less emphatic. In fact, since the science can "contradict itself", they seem to be saying far more than they can justify.
> It would also be a bad idea to start high dosing vitamin D unmonitored.
I think when it's compared to the risk of contracting covid, 1000IU / day of vitamin D is justified.
> exaggerated to believe that vitamin D can...prevent its spread
Would it? I think we're finding that vitamin D is probably more effective than face masks.
> layman will again begin to lose faith
Lose faith in the ability of scientists to solve the problem, or lose faith in the PR folks that (demonstrably, sometimes obviously) don't tell the truth? Science is only 'about faith and beliefs' when the layman is told to believe specific people, or blindly obey the experts.
> Tiger Lake isn’t sardine oil basting AMD just yet, but it stands to compete well in a number of key markets.
That just sounds like a polite way of saying that AMD is still very much on top.
Edit 2: how's this for ironic: looking back over the past year, the single source of information about the virus that has turned out to 'get it right' most frequently (not counting noise) is 4chan.
This is a well-known problem. What's hard to believe?
I don't know if you count memory exhaustion as a 'crash' per se.
That means that when I want to leave a website open on my server for a month, I use chrome because I know exactly how much memory it's going to use. If it was firefox, at the end of the month even the swap would be filled.
Microsoft knows how to build tools that untechnical people can use. They are the best at this; that's why they have the desktop market. If Microsoft can make user centric tools that have at their backend Linux tech, then they will have the best of both worlds.
Any idiot can click around Excel or Active Directory and get something good enough. That's what Microsoft is good at facilitating. If Microsoft can make the rest of the Linux stack as easy to use as visual studio code, then why should a random busy sysadmin or webdev bother with buggy Ubuntu? Windows 10 will have everything they need, with more convenience.
Microsoft isn't backed into a corner: you're resting on your laurels. They're about to Embrace everything about Linux that's awesome. Get ready for what comes after.
With half decent radios, the brains of the bot could be stashed back at HQ, which would really improve the amount of computation available.

To top it off, your grammar is atrocious.
EDIT: I'll ask my question again, with better wording, just for good measure. Are you suggesting that when people look for work, they accept jobs that leave them worse off than they were before?
Are you suggesting that "someone, somewhere" chose to do something that intentionally made them worse off than they were before?
Are you making that decision for yourself, or for others? Offer the job, and see if there's takers. If there aren't, then you'll actually know that the job isn't worth having.
You mean information like the existence of the surveilance that Snowden proved?
"Local seconds since 1970", vs. "Static seconds since 1970".
> According to the court documents, Monsanto started the aptly-named ‘Let Nothing Go’ campaign, which plaintiffs’ attorneys in the Roundup litigation believe is part of the agrochemical giant’s tort defense strategy to work furiously outside the courtroom producing carefully-timed “literature” and regulatory decisions that could sway the court.
> The ‘Let Nothing Go’ campaign is designed to leave nothing posted on the internet about Monsanto, its products and GMOs, unanswered. This even applies to social media comments.
> “Through a series of third parties, it employs individuals who appear to have no connection to the industry, who in turn post positive comments on news articles and Facebook posts, defending Monsanto, its chemicals, and GMOs,” according to a motion in the Roundup MDL. But the idea that Monsanto paid internet trolls to disagree with negative comments about the company on social media is just the tip of the iceberg.

> An academic involved in writing research funded by Monsanto, John Acquavella, a former Monsanto employee, appeared to express discomfort with the process, writing in a 2015 email to a Monsanto executive, “I can’t be part of deceptive authorship on a presentation or publication.” He also said of the way the company was trying to present the authorship: “We call that ghost writing and it is unethical.”

IANAL; I wonder if this would be grounds for a class-action lawsuit in the future. Something like suing the motherboard manufacturers to replace every CPU their boards have broken by this method.
