This is why I don't have a handheld surveillance device / smart phone. But it doesn't have to be this way. Purism, for example is making decent progress on a handheld computer that doesn't, though I doubt there's much they are doing on the radio side to protect the user from the predatory carriers.
The problem with the people who opt-out of such things is you don't hear about them so much. They exist.
This is just a rephrasing of "what, you mean there's going to be a wiki that any old joe on the internet can edit? Interesting concept but there's no way in hell that it'll ever get to be as good as the Encyclopedia Britannica" type comments we saw on Kuro5hin/slashdot when it was originally suggested.
In fact, people *can ad do* add valid enough content to create encyclopedic knowledge on the internet, whether or not they are people who take their privacy seriously - thanks for coming out
In the 21st century, they are tracking devices, spying on you. The telescreens watch you through the ads. I do not consent to be watched by your panopticon, no.
Sure it contains another number. It contains it by the following procedure:
number B is 'in' number A if for all digits, in order, B is present in A consecutively.
The Nth digit of number B is the N+1th digit of number A. The 1st digit of number A is 1.
Since for all N digits of number B it is present in A therefor B is in A.
* The digits are in order (for all N, it is the case that position N+2 is higher than N+1)
* The digits are all there (for all N)
* The numbers are all consecutive (for all N there is nothing other than the next digit at position N+1)
:. B is in A
Can't be, because some universal constants are irrational, and therefore cannot be in another number.
imagine the following number:
0.131415926...
which is
0.1 followed by the digits of pi in base 10.
this is clearly irrational, (since pi is irrational, it will be neverending), yet it's a irrational number that contains another number in them.
Why isn't your favourite irrational number like this? Can you prove that pi is not contained within even e?
Come send me your pull requests! We don't have to just complain, we can actually use code that aligns with what we want it to do, without the ideological BS.
StumbleUpon, before it morphed into something closer to facebook, was exactly this but with a 'random' button sending you to a random part of the web. It was wonderful while it lasted.
CoComment, after StumbleUpon started going downhill, operated under a similar principle but had better comment threading, but for whatever reason didn't catch.
Netflix is a danger to the world, a danger to our ability to communicate internationally. Pushing DRM on the world is a sure-fire way to make sure that international cooperation remains impossible. Everyone should be encouraging the people they know to cancel netflix.
The Linux Foundation is compromised, and is willing to subject technical decisions to the whims of politically motivated parties, especially Microsoft. If your system is safety critical, it's time to move to a fork of linux that is not subject to such whims and is updated only as safety requirements dictate.
We could have been spending the last 19 years designing more and more efficient systems, but instead we've had to put all that effort into doing things more and more privately and in a decentralized way. Every time new technology was developed that did not treat the RIAA like a giant threat, they destroyed it. This is the consequence.
Yes. I've met them irl, they are serious. Sure there are plenty of people who do it for the lulz and really aren't clueless, but there are still hundreds of millions of people in the world who have an education that goes so further than about the fifth grade, and when *they* hear someone giving authoritative proofs about something, like the flat earthers, they genuinely believe them and it starts to become an uphill battle to undo this.

Agreed, but we're not even close to that, so for the time being treating as as an infection is good practice.

It starts with 15%. Then it goes to 20%. Then 25%. Then 50%. ...sooner or later you get your education paid for, but the cost is ~100% servitude

The EFF left the W3C for good reason. Why is Wikipedia not following their lead?
Maybe banning tor users from participating is causing them to lose this part of the big picture.

Bitcoin will allow you to raise money for such campaigns.

It's a problem that's been with us for a while.

issue created, seems like an easy enough thing to remedy.
I thought she wasn't pardoned, merely released? This detail was discussed in her recent HOPE talk I think.

Use tor, instead.
Gab has proven to censor things, and isn't taking nearly enough heat for that.

If? Pinterest has been banning tor users for years. They are very much in the game of censorship.

if not? Then no, this isn't the solution I've been waiting for. For all we know it's probably backdoored hardware.
To use the same methodology on TV. I bet you'll find TV lead to all kinds of wacky things, like the Iraq war.

It's about censorship, filtering news and control of the narrative.
