I have no idea what party the one belongs to that issued this letter here. But it was the first time I saw a senator actually write something sensible about "this computer stuff".
Clean up your own act before you try to mess with the rest of the internet, will ya?
That makes no sense. First if Alphabet just wanted to please the corporate overlord, why did they allow anti-corporate content-approved to make money until now?
And second, and more importantly, many people who do post "controversial" content (read: Content that may make very special people feel a bit uncomfortable because it kills their batshit insane narrative with a dose of reality) are dependent on that income from YouTube. They made YouTube their "job" so to speak, and them making content is dependent on them being able to earn money that way. Simply saying "fuck Youtube if they don't want to perform, fine, we move on" is easily said but hard to do when you depend on their income scheme to work out.
Vigilantism arises whenever law enforcement drops the ball. People are generally lazy and wouldn't go out of their way to do that "job" if it was already done.
Of course police doesn't really approve of it. Do you like to be shown that you suck at your job?
Nah, it works just fine on the channels that debunk religious bullshit, too. It's not a left vs. right thing. It's more a reality vs. feelgood-makebelieve thing.
You are aware that the ones peddling this kind of bullshit association are the very same media that first of all now run this smear campaign in a weak attempt to get advertisers back to them from YouTube?
Oh please. YouTube shows me ads for assholes peddling their religious bullshit when I watch videos of people debunking the very same religious bullshit. If that's their "targeted" advertising, I hope and pray they never go into making military hardware and if, that they only sell to the enemy.
Advertisers were successfully bullshitted into believing that their brands would be tarnished by appearing next to "offensive" videos. The problem is that YouTube went overboard and now considers everything "offensive" that's not basically cute kittens playing with yarn, not just extremists videos demanding the execution of everything who follows the wrong delusion.
The problem here is that the reason people went from traditional media and to YouTube is exactly that they're fed up with having "family friendly" bullshit shoved down their throats. If that's all that remains on YouTube, people will simply move on.
Yeah, that too. Extend the support for Win7 so people (and more, companies) can finally stop evaluating Linux as a replacement. Win7 EOL is approaching and we're stuck without a reasonable replacement.
The proportional amount of work requires increases as you increase your income relative to your starting assets
Now that's comedy gold, do you have more jokes like this? Since when is the amount of money you make in any relation to your workload? How much more work do you think Allen did compared to, say, a single mother working 3 jobs to make ends meet?
Give those criminal blacks and Mexicans a reason not to be criminal (i,e. something to lose) and watch your crime statistics plummet.
You think we don't have our share of poor people? We do. Ours just have food+shelter. Are they happy? Far from it. But they don't want to endanger what little they have and go to prison over nothing.

Dear law enforcement,
do your fucking job or at least don't stand in the way.

Confidentiality can be perfected by eliminating availability. That's by no means any news.
And guess what, if you unplug the computer from power and hide the power cord, it cannot even be abused locally!

I usually only associate ads with "5 4 3 2 1 skip". I rarely see more than the lower right corner of them.

Some people seem to believe you already found one. Don't know for sure, but so far he comes across as an asshole all right...
It was broken. First, it was clear and second, it was very obviously not bigger on the inside.
Teaching and learning depends on two people's agreement: One who teaches, and one who learns.
We have been trying to teach. But the only ones that learned something were we: We learned that nobody wants to learn.

And then nobody sees your pretty ads either.

That it's not going to work. Just imagine for a moment it did.
Ponder for just one moment the social impact of something like that.
If I said you have a beautiful body would you hold it against me?
No, but I'd be afraid for my life.
Welcome to the woooorld of tomoorrrroooooow!
The issue arises of the fact that at least he thinks there is a nonzero chance that the humans in question don't remain dead.
You had a steam engine? We had to get marketing to aid us if we needed hot air!
And the snow was up to HERE in the server room.
You had a battery?
So... if we hang them and cash in their money we could essentially eliminate the foreign debt.
Hmm...
Why? Because I think that paying taxes ain't just a poor man's hobby?

I probably pay way more taxes than you do, does that entitle me to tax fraud?
