Wasn't it admitted that a major goal of Bill Gates was to be awarded a Nobel Peace prize? It came up from stories surrounding Epstein and why was Bill Gates in contact with him - for his influence, against the advise of his lawyers. I wouldn't be surprised $250M is part of that desire.

You don't need to click any ads silly goose.

Wouldn't it indicate that we are even more sexist now, if the most important thing about the politician's is their sex?

What is the worst case scenario of Assange being a free man, exactly?

Well... it's not that impressive is it, specially if achieved by mispelling. It's laborious sure, but... For instance 16th century poet Luís Vaz de Camões wrote a wonderfully written Homeric poem of +1000 stanzas of 8 lines with the exact same rhyme scheme. That is a much more impressive and unatainable feat by 99.9999% of the population.

We already have a definition for a politically exposed person.

You need just some millions to your name and to contact their sales people. But to protect themselves it will be sold in a way that makes it useful to you and still have plausible deniability. Like Facebook letting you advertise to users that liked or saw something, instead of just straight telling you who they are, though it is trivial to do so with some tracking on the website.

He's saying that Sweden is larger but that you can expect the same population density in places where people live, i.e. cities, so just raw national population density is not a good metric.

I don't know if it's true, mind you.

I'm sure they have an API bots can use.

I didn't know the goal of life was to live the longest, even if in prison. You might want to invest in cryogenic sleep.

When has it ever.

Insane.

No, their AI accepts some deviation. And we don't know how many false positives it takes to start a human review. And for privacy of course different people will evaluate different photos. And a human without context will flag a picture of a kid on the bath as child pornography. It is a very real possibility OP is made a suspect because of this.

What about first testing the health of the disk before creating more waste?

I don't understand, there are barriers of entry into NZ for NZ citizens? What? How, what?

The article does mention censorship in social media.

Oh Windows users, what a crazy bunch. I personally would never use a piece of software that updated (or downgraded, depending on the perspective) against my wishes.

I avoid smart crap as much as possible, but now my parents were hit: they've had the same TV and cable box thing for many years, and this month it started showing ads on everything: the menus, paused movies, past recordings. Unskippable ads as well.

It's just so tiring, I dread the day I will need to buy a new car and they will all have touchscreen internet connected gimmicks and ads.

Imagine paying to "like" someone online. A fool and their money...

Honest question, what about Strasbourg?

No it wasn't. People would work about half to 2/3rds of the year, and about 10 hours a day.

On my 86.0.1 firefox on linux it detected nothing.

I'd argue advertising this Instagram as a "safe zone" for children while still containing ads and allowing adult predatores to sign in would be much worse.

In the normal platform at least they can be disguised as average users that seldom post anything, and there is less pressure to post anything since it's a hostile place to children in the first place.

Gauss earned his PhD at 20, Euler at 19, Erdős at 21, Tao at 21. Now imagine instead being forced to waste away until you're 17-18 to go to college.

Divide it into smaller groups.

Is there a board game where one's advantage doesn't compound, though?

How does it seem like "no" or "not yet". We will never know what even worst news would've come up if they weren't getting bribed.

I don't think that is true. I think most people would agree the people in Crimea understand they speak Russian, have a Russian passport, can travel inside Russia, pay taxes to the Russian government, their children are schooled in Russian topics. Culturally the majority probably feel quite Russian, or as Russian as any other "republic" of the Russian "federation".

There are countries with less cultural and linguistic similarity, for instance Catalonia comes to mind, yet there is also the general agreement that Catalonia is part of Spain and not fully self governed, much less governed by any other country.

It is managed by Russia so it is Russia, now. The same way Ireland one day was administered from London and now is not (excl. Northern Ireland). The rest is emotional talk.

It's not their territory though, not for some years now. That is the reality of it.
