I don’t have as much faith in the system as you. And I wouldn’t want to wait a decade for it to be fixed.

Don’t be so cavalier in shrugging off the person you’re responding to. This kind of national scale governance is equatable to “centralized planning” governance. You have to consider it from the local economy perspective, otherwise you’ll be perpetuating inequality in many parts that you don’t see.

The IRS has (this decade) targeted specific institutions by their affiliations:

Isn’t “related party transactions” where Enron’s CFO hid most of their funny accounting to companies he controlled and profited from?

Wow, I’m pretty sure Hipchat is built on Electron and has had all these features for years! Microsoft must really be struggling

You should visit the London Bakerloo line in the summer ;-)

This is my concern. If you can only partially trust the science journals because the science is faulty, what “science” can you trust? ... unless you attempt replicate every piece of research yourself?

Thank you for agreeing with me.

You missed the point by two miles. I still use Hangouts, but they’ve introduced 12 other apps in the last 10 years that do the exact same thing. All while making Hangouts / google chat / gTalk (whatever it was originally called in Labs) worse.

Or one of the twelve messaging apps that got ignored by the masses because no one longer trusts their products

The point is diversification. If norway’s economy collapses, they’ll still be invested elsewhere. It’s financially unwise to keep all your eggs in one basket

The fonts are so wacky on this webpage, that it looks like they copy/pasted from elsewhere

That’s not a reason to break the groceries or platforms up. Just ban them from producing their own brands if they’ve provided a similar competitor product for years. Although ironically, then the govt would be anti-competition

Telco’s have harmed privacy by sharing location data tracking, and adding injections to web traffic

Where is it documented that PRISM is an FBI feed ingest? I’ve never heard that from the Snowden docs

This is nonsense. They wouldn’t have live pcaps of every router and endpoint at Google.

“Where Wizards Stay Up Late” is a fantastic book that has some good insight on Lick’s imagination and contributions to technology. And LOADS more!

Well, they also had spacecraft issues at the end of 1968 that they had to resolve before putting humans into it.

I wonder why it’s both a “law” and a “principle”? Did someone else change it?
