Because countries are competing like hell to get foreign companies to "invest" in them (as the article shows, "robs them blind" is a better term). They are not so intelligent to understand that that also means that their own inhabitants are fleeing to other competitors.
Off course not. There are way too many organizations waiting for new attack vectors to snoop on user behaviour. In the future, you can tell what somebody is doing by just reading the battery usage parameters. Funny thing is that some battery monitoring standards say that the privacy implications are low (see The Battery Status API in JavaScript for example). This is now going to change for the worse.
The agreement also would overhaul special tribunals that handle trade disputes between businesses and participating nations.
Probably something like ISDS. That should hardly be a surprise. It is the new colonialism: it gives companies the possibility to plunder foreign nations, but with an army of lawyers instead of an army of thugs.
I don't know, but given the fact that futures are mainly baked air (you can trade in crops that will never be planted) and the finite amount of bitcoins, this gives an interesting situation.
So basically, it is a gravitational slingshot, but more complex due to the use of a line. I am really curious to what the amount of energy does to the asteroids and comets' own trajectory, and if it literally fires back at us. If you take speed out of an asteroid, a somewhat circular orbit around the sun could become an elliptical one the interferes with Earth's orbit.
Even better: dazzle painting! Add fake tails and wings to your drone and have it recalibrate itself if one of these pieces is blown off. Sort of like a mini version of the a10 Thunderbolt.
Well, that is hardly surprising when you let the corporations run the government. We need more people in regulation to prevent both corporation and government abuses. Especially in a democ(k)racy.
Yes I am. I am expecting that there are no vast armies of spies on every corner or every street. I am expecting that I can go up in the masses, and that I am alone in empty streets.
Yes, I expect that sometimes people can see me. That is something hugely different from monitoring me. I expect that my neighbour can see me leave in the morning. I expect that my boss can see me coming in the morning. It is a huge violation of privacy if my neighbour checks with my boss, or if my boss checks with my neighbour. "Everyone present can see" is totally different from "surveillance 24/7".
They do work. I am using one for a few years (simple receptacle type with compost heap outside, see https://www.thingiverse.com/th... ) now and off course I use it with "any regularity". What could there not work with a compost heap? Do you throw chemicals in your toilet or something?
Searching for "privacy ubuntu phone" yields enough hits not to buy it. But important questions (do I have to have an account somewhere to use my own phone?) are not answered.
I think the purpose of the stock market is much more mundane: to make money. In whatever way. That is why you can "invest" in non-existing "products", like derivatives, futures on crops that will never be planted, even ad-words, and so on. Off course, this must be regulated. The point is that it isn't. Oh, there are a few rules to pretend, but that is basically it. There is a commission to pretend to guard the rules as well, but has shown to only pretend as well (they "investigated" the flash crash only on minute basis, while microsecond precision would be necessary, and concluded that nothing was wrong. That is even more fraud than trading with prior knowledge).
Trading with large sums of money in non-existing goods is not only risky, it is downright harmful. Money has the value of the things you can buy with it. As long as people fool themselves into believing that futures on never-to-be-planted crops are worth something, it may unexpectedly look harmless. The moment people find out, the system collapses. Along with loads of money that should have been used for real transactions between real people in the first place.
Except that the Concorde was built for fuel efficiency, not for speed. Single-stream jet engines are more efficient if you fly faster. Only somebody invented the double-stream jet engine, which makes the engine far more efficient at lower speeds. To prevent the large drag rise that comes with breaking the sound barrier, most airliners fly a bit slower than the speed of sound.

I think "Sex makes the world go 'round" is a lot more reassuring than "Money makes the world go 'round".

It seems that objectifying women is better, or at least less bad than treating machines like humans.

Greenhouses are supposed to trap, and therefore produce energy, not to consume it.
This is a major process to abide by privacy laws
If the police abides privacy laws, then why are all the videos uploaded to a private company's server? Aren't there laws against that?
But they are consistent. They sanction everybody for every thing they do themselves! Be it in a nuclear, financial, violent or digital way...

Ah! Now I understand why they called it "the cold war"! The insulation of the universe is supposed to keep us warm, isn't it?
Dear Sir,
You are violating Betteridge's law of headlines. Please stop doing that.

You're not expecting privacy on a public street.
Yes I am. I am expecting that there are no vast armies of spies on every corner or every street. I am expecting that I can go up in the masses, and that I am alone in empty streets.

Sorry? Why on earth would you pollute your own drinking water by using it in a toilet? I sincerely hope that this thing has a compost toilet.

Tell me, how often have you encountered a webpage that only lets you sign up if you have FB in the first place?
None, but if a site requires a facepalm account, I don't want to log in.
When "law enforcement officials" break the law it makes it hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys.
On the contrary, choosing from only one category can only make it easier.

Why should there be a debate? If you like one of them, use it. Otherwise, try XFCE, LXDE, Enlightenment, Ratpoison or whatever suits you.
