Not getting a good ROI for something like this either indicates extreme inefficiency or extreme greed. After all the key effort is made by researchers finding the cure who by no mean actually get a significant part of profits. The rest is nothing more than large scale industrial process which brings revenue only while there is a demand for it. When there isn't it can be just scaled down saving on expenses to maintain it too.
Yeah right, I totally see how a million of Chinese would off themselves for lacking access to some trashy news apps. Because killing self is easier than setting up vpn or tor.
Rehabilitation isn't good enough reason to censor any mentions of the past. This will always be a thing that happened and any any censoring of it goes against the truth. No harm from having it available can come that can't be rectified by other laws already. If they're denied employment due to convictions that are not active anymore then they can sue for discrimination. If other people keep badgering them about their past crimes then they can sue for harassment. Rewriting the past is not needed. You can't build your life based on a lie of omission anyway. People will always find out eventually even if google doesn't index it.
I'm pretty sure that Apple and Microsoft do comply with such court requests unlike Telegram. In fact EULAs tend to spell out that any user's data can be shared given valid court order. The problem here is that Telegram has such a key that could decrypt private messages in the first place. Meaning that not only they could use it to comply with court orders but also that they could grep private communications for stuff like credit card numbers, login credentials and material for blackmail. In order to achieve proper privacy messaging services need to be fully decentralized, like TOX for example.
Nitpicking at grammar mistakes is the most boring, half-hearted kind of trolling. Probably you actually are paid for this, since coming up with something creative is more than your job's worth. Yet I came up with non-boring reply, even though you don't deserve it.
What case? I don't advocate any case. Just communicating what I'm feeling. Not everything follows some narrative. And the fact that I'm getting compared to IRA just for sharing what I think convinces me that all this is bullshit. Because I do know that I'm just yet another person and not some imaginary shady paid troll. Of course what I think doesn't matter to you but who cares..
Both Eltsin and Putin were little more than US placed viceroys in practice. Putin only recently started to show any sort of irreverence to his overlords kinda like False Dmitry I. But make no mistake, it's not about Russia, it's about clowns in US trying to make an external scapegoat for their own mistakes.
Yeah, pretty much any creative endeavour requires a lot of reuse of previous works, perhaps even unconsciously. By requiring license for reuse they make barrier to entry high, so only rich could contribute to culture, or at least people blessed by the rich and ideologically conformant. That was always the purpose of copyright, interests of authors was just a side story to sell it to the public. So just reducing the term is pointless, there's no objective "fair" term and it cannot be ever derived since the whole idea of copyright is illogical due to its genesis. Abolition is the only sane possibility.
It's not "just" setup, it adds more drag whenever you do changes to hardware and network topology. Yet another thing that can fail. DMZ is better than nothing because its management can be confined to single dedicated system, and you can forget about it when you do work on internal servers. And it's good enough to deal with all but the most dedicated attackers. Saving on security will always be extremely attractive since most systems actually don't get attacked and everyone bet on not being targeted. This is the reason why security isn't a big priority. You may think this is dumb but it's just how things are. Lots of work was made to improve the situation nonetheless, so those concerns don't prevent improvement of security but merely slow it down.
The sheer amount of extra setup can add to red tape and cost of running business, time saved on configuring devices and acquiring security clearances is the reward.
You can't really buy software because it's not a physical object. That's the underlying reason for this switch to subscription model. When you "buy" software you in fact make one time donation, like with Kickstarter. But this won't pay for continued support resulting in them going for making regular new major versions to solicit more payments. Subscription model is like Patreon, going for monthly donations instead. This doesn't require making new major versions at regular intervals, thus perhaps saving extra effort for making more features to make new major version to look major enough. At some point people are already happy with current software and won't bother with updates. Subscription model would allow them to take advantage of security maintenance and updating the software with support for new oses at least.
I think the advantage here is mostly for the developers. They want to make a predictable, dependable stream of income. Previously they had to make new versions of software to make people pay again but that resulted in bad updates and lot of redoing things from scratch, just for sake of making a new version so people would pay again. With subscription model they can stop making major updates every 2-5 years and enjoy their steady rent without doing much beside maintenance.
From what I gather Iran was never much into religion until US backed regime of Mohammad Pahlavi killed off all secular politicians, because "secular" + "non aligned with US" means "communist" to US overlords. And religious people are easier to control.
Well systemd is basically clone of launchd from MacOS. It's nothing more than Linux becoming more MacOS-like. It's very dumb hypocrisy that MacOS has launchd, Solaris has SMF and people complain only about systemd. You simply can't have a competitive desktop OS based on sysV init now. This systemd witchhunt is a threat to future of desktop Linux.
From what I gather they sued only because he filed a counter notice. I think they shouldn't have because fair use doctrine does cover such cases: he was basically showing snippets of original work for the purpose of commentary. Even if it infringes EULA, it doesn't automatically become infringement of copyright.
I think scope based lifetime management like C++'s RAII pattern are superior to garbage collection. GC looks like hasty and too general solution to me. Might work good enough for beginner programmers or with lack of performance constraints, but ultimately there is no such thing as free lunch.
C++ still reigns supreme due to its flexibility. While in some less pragmatic language you are very likely to hit some roadblock because language designers wanted to enforce some principle which ended up counter productive in your particular case, it won't be so with C++. This language has no other principle than practicality, and it will never block you from getting the job done. Even it being superset of C ends up being another aspect of practicality. Because C ABI still is de facto standard for language interop and system APIs and is implementation language for astronomic number of important libs.
Marx was equally popular everywhere in Europe in his time. He's just an economic scientist that has done his part. And results of his work are adopted equally everywhere now. Communism and capitalism are just fanatical ideologies based on fixation on particular parts of economic science. Both communism and capitalism are obsolete in XXI century because their fanatical variants failed to gain power and moderate variants are implemented pretty much everywhere.
No, it sounds credulous only to USians. That's the whole problem. It doesn't work in Russia itself as locals have enough brains to not to buy it. Apparently so they decided to target US instead.
Actually any true Russian propaganda died off with Soviet Union. Pretty much all current Russian PR efforts are either funded by US and EU or done by people who were educated there or mindlessly following their models.
There are some OS kernels written in C++, for example some generations of L4 microkernel. The reason Linux isn't rewritten in C++ because to fully take advantage of it will require a full rewrite anyway. Why not just migrate to L4?

There already exist such a subsystem, it's called Wine. Maybe microsoft people should focus on contributing to it instead.

From Russian perspective? That's redundant. There can be no valid non-Russian perspective on this matter.

I don't care how their names are spelled in Barbarian. Just recall your puppet rulers back already.
