  1. I really want facebook to just block such countries. Seriously, I think that american culture is already too infectious, and I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if internet for each country become a bit more localized. Not completely, but enough so that you can have a cultural variety.

    I know many workers who stay late doing nothing simply because management tends to appreciate workers who stay late, even if they don't do much.

    In the country where I come from (Israel), part time employees get benefits as well. Not everybody are americans (and thank god for that).

    This article will be flooded by angry replies from americans, insisting that only inefficient companies work so, and that the only way for efficency, self fulfillment, and complete human salvation, is to work 12/5 or 12/7...

    Asynchronous > multithreading

    I think that goroutines or erlang processes (both are essentially threads with very cheap context switches) are a much preferrable to async programming.

    the twist is that russians are dressing humans as robots to hide the fact that they are using them in suicide missions.

  8. Sorry, but that's what it is.

    Europe also had a lot of video game censorship, see things like "contra" becoming "probotector" because of the ban on games depiciting direct killing of humans. This is nothing new.

    When did I ever say I am against banning things? Human rights are NOT about allowing us to buy everything we want like spoiled children. In fact, we trample over the human rights of others, just to buy things cheaper.

    When I see how crazily obsessed children are with Fortnite, when I see some adults here, comparing a Fortnite ban to human rights violation, it makes me think that maybe banning this shit would be a good thing.

    GROW. UP.

    (And if we have to talk about what china are doing, let's talk about their violations of human rights)

  12. This is purely PR on Google Translate Learns To Reduce Gender Bias (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    This problem already exists with languages that have two forms of 2nd person (dignified and personal). In these cases, google just outputs one case and allows you to click on it in order to get the other. Of course, this interface is less sexy for the brave couch activists of the internet, and therefore a new interface must be invented.

    I really think that in the future, most of our gender dramas would be remembered the same way that we remember church officials arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

    True. However, the only reason swf was killed was to replace it with something similar you can't easily block and limit.

    Quite the opposite. The only thing that a broad band gives is YouTube videos and pics. Under a slower connection, one must resort to what scares american children the most: text, which has a long history of encouraging independent critical thought.

    And this will also be true under his system, that's my point. The problem is not one that can be solved technically.

    You can already disable scripting. Your advised solution wouldn't change the real problem, which is people. Under your solution, all pages would end with '.js', rendering '.html' obsolete.

    Capitalism in a nutshell. If you want competition you have to accept egregious amounts of redundancy.

    Capitalism also gave us the Microsoft monopoly, while "communist" open source gave us 100 linux distros.

  18. My apologies. Well, in that case, care to say about which country you're talking about? I'm Israeli.

  19. Audiences 30 years+ are smart enough to have never trusted Facebook in the first place.

    Is this really like that in the US? In my country, Facebook is the home of 30+ hipsters who have become so used to communicate by witty statuses (which, in my country, are gradually replacing journalism) and "ironic" selfies. I seriously suspect that most of them will have problem communicating with people without Facebook.

  20. Considering the fact that the writers are using my tax money to create that property, shouldn't I get some stock/compensation for said property?
