> is it just a matter of getting too big and popular to keep costs down?
Yes. Content Management, specifically, is difficult to scale cost-efficiently with their technical debt. DA has a massively complicated custom PHP framework (patched together), only uses remote developers, and paid below-average. It's as bad as you might think.
> You can't serious spin this as some kind of politically correct overreaction
It is, so there's no need for spin. You went on to characterize Disney, which is wholly irrelevant to the issue...

It's a joke that cleverly doubles as political satire. It is still misrepresented by the WSJ, and has snowballed into some equivalent of "fake news" about a non-existent anti-semite. It's particularly interesting that his economic and social position was not enough to stop a focused media onslaught, without merit.
Youtube's highest paid content creator (and conversely highest earning content creator for YouTube) was cut over pressure from a partner corporation (which in turn came from the ironic, , via a pessimistic (mis)interpretation of an entertainment video? It is geek news. The trolls implying that he might possibly be antisemitic are just perpetuating the status quo, in promoting that there are more than seven words you can't say.
An article about a problem that has existed for years as if it's a big deal recently. Why would I follow this link unless I just wanted to hear more salty MS tears?
If you package something for sale, you are responsible. Here's a box filled with stuff for 49.99, oops the box exploded one or 10 times. The boxing vendor is responsible, regardless of the interaction that caused it. There is no specific law, but tort law generally plays out that way. A separate boxer? Not that guy's problem but he always has to go to court to be found, not at fault. Nothing here about software liability applies excepting between the packaging vendor and the development team. Will we see the US make a rational decision to this end? No. Will it result in this chain of responsibility eventually, yes.
As an adult who never _ever_ took a formal physics class, these diagrams ( e's probably mean electrons? and a y, q's and a g) are almost devoid of meaning. Challenge still stands.
It's a known quantity. Oracle rep lie sell their substandard product with shitty support, piecemeal features, and a huge bill. You deserve what you get. Almost as bad as contracting with IBM, but not quite. IBM has decent support.
The entirety of the asteroid belt is just over 4% of the moon. There are very few large chunks by any sci-fi standard. Why anyone would go to the very far and dangerous belt, when you can just strip mine the moon (which has caught a very large number of asteroid impacts over the millennia). This is the same as the humans living on Mars nonsense. It's impractical and currently impossible.
Or insurance. In the US, it's always an insurance company. The idea that a hospital/caregiver cares more about an organ than a patient, is economic suicide for multiple parties, with even the appearance of impropriety. It's laughable to see this discussion blow up because of studies in other countries. Insurance company decisions, in regards to long-term care and super-expensive procedures, is closely scrutinized in the US.
Most importantly (IMO) is that, statistically, nobody thinks about organ donation too much in the US except when looking at their Driver's License every couple years. The public thinks long and hard about comas and other altered states and has plenty of time to do so. The slippery slope can't practically apply when comparing events that have orders of magnitude difference, in time between deliberation and consequence.
This, like most plans about survivability on Mars, is fantasy level design. Just have to carry the water in supply ships or bring it with you around each transport ship (once we make ships that do that) or mine the water from the Martian surface (hopefully it's about the same as what we need, right?).
I believe, the only way to live on Mars, in the forseeable future, is underground. That has enough problems to make it impractical in the next century. It's been particularly biting that In the 80's we thought we'd have flying cars and instead we got the "don't pokemon and drive" freeway warnings.
If we can get something long-term set up on the Moon, we can handle Mars. Humans haven't been willing or able to try yet. It should net some tasty govt grants though, eventually (eco-dome experiments primarily resulted in a terrible movie).

So what? Seriously, so what? I don't avoid crossing the street because vehicles exist. I don't live in a persistent state of fear and obsessive need to constantly be happy about everything. I am not a delicate snowflake here.
I assure you, blocking the ads doesn't change the data collection aspect of most adservers. Disabled javascript (80%) and image loading (19%), you eliminate most of the tracking....excepting your cellphone. Nothing stops collection on that device. Having worked on a host of adservers, I'm surprised at how the biggest problems are scaling and manipulating large data, not the complexity of gathering data.

I wouldn't be surprised that he didn't detail the bugs of his program(s), especially if there were proprietary or not-so-EULA bits used. There's nothing about the film maker that seems like he's trying to be a major anything other than "innovative" documentary maker.
> Any cashless payment platform leaves an audit trail
Look at any game economy. The population will agree on a stable desirable set of proxy currency and use that for alternate transactions and audit avoidance. We don't even use cash for everything...ever. I don't see what's so scary about an underground economy in some other currency (like Yen or whatever).
> You think your source is always right and mine is wrong so don't apply your brain.
That's not what I said. Always right or wrong is nonsensical. Truth is subtle and the narrative can connect facts that aren't connected, so there's a question of why you would risk being manipulated by a source who formally states a lack of factual integrity. If you are tempted to claim "I can decide for myself", you are missing the point...you can be manipulated despite your best efforts.
Once a source has shown to disregard basic standards of proof, there are other sources. Circle round if you find another. Shouldn't there be someone else who cites those studies outside of Tech Dirt?
> Believing every news source to be equal is the problem. > No, that is what causes fake news to work in the first place
You restated my assertion, while saying "no", as if it's a disagreement. Not believing something is the default position (skepticism). I feel like you're just too wound up now to be rational in an attempt to "win" something so good luck convincing someone else.

We already have "flying cars". They are called helicopters and have the problems and dangers you would expect.
Some people use it.

Since the GP said nothing about you (nor did it imply anything about you) your response seems weird and irrationally nasty. Good luck troll.

No, it is not and I don't think you understand the nature of the problem with Fake news. Believing every news source to be equal is the problem.

Tech Dirt has the journalistic integrity of Facebook, I don't need to "check it out" to treat it as such.
