  1. Have you read most of the comments on this post? They consist of mostly anonymous people calling anybody who supports free speech of being a (Nazi, racist, xenophobe, bigot, part of the patriarchy) etc. Maybe the problem isn't where you think the problem is. Go watch a couple hours of Dave Rubin's youtube channel and get back to me.

    Sargon of Akkad was actively criticizing White Nationalists and was deplatformed from Patreon. The fact is, those in power are abusing their power and there are documented cases of this happening. In addition, people are going around calling everybody they disagree with a Nazi and it is ruining discourse.

    It's been cultivated as a free speech platform. They don't control who registers and posts except to ban people for committing actual crimes. People have been deplatformed due to speech off of the platforms they were kicked off of. There are many documented cases of this. What Gab attracts in the user base isn't directly influenced by anything Gab has said or done except to state that they are for free speech.

    Gab doesn't filter who registers there. It isn't a "Insert any description" platform. It is simply an OPEN platform.

  5. One of the very few restrictions on speech is to restrict direct threats or inciting of violence against people. All your other claims are also absurd.

  6. The root cause of the lack of a speedy trial is because guilty people plead innocent when they know they are guilty which wastes time, taxpayer dollars, and causes innocent people to wait a long time for a trial. A fix for this would be a punishment if you are convicted but lied about being innocent.

  7. Innocent people don't regularly accept Plea Bargains.

  8. Just who is "You guys". Remember, the USA is a nation of immigrants; both legal and illegal. Due to that, the US will always have more issues than other countries with mostly homogeneous populations.

  9. Actually, its backed by a lot of very complex math but go on.

  10. You must be new to the Internet. There is a very common image of Mickey Mouse in an SS uniform floating around. I'm sure you can find it.

    Maybe 4Chan doesn't want to take over the world. Maybe 4Chan just wants their freedoms to not be violated and to live in a society that isn't so politically correct and censorious. Ever think of that?

    Paypal uses two factor authentication.

    First off, changing your passwords is a horrible strategy. Yes, you need to change them but more important is to salt them. Don't use the same password suffix on each site. Keep each password unique for each site. Second of all, retailers need to standardize on two factor authentication, like yesterday! This stops way more than 99% of all malicious login attempts. The attacker would have to no only know your password but also own access to your email or texting.

  14. See above. Find a buyer. Sell the company to the highest bidder. Somebody will buy it if the price is right.

  16. The thing is I have no problem with him being this rich. However, I do have a problem with how he is using his money to buy influence. The guy knows a lot about business and tech and almost nothing about pretty much anything else. The problem is he went and bought the Washington Post and has since turned it into one of the most biased and unjournalistic newspapers in existence. People get confused because they know the brand but since 2013, Bezos has run this paper into the ground and used it as the propaganda arm of the DNC.

  17. Either you are really good at trolling or you are the most underpaid IT employee in California.

    Amazon hails itself as a technology company but at the time you can't search prime day deals on the web nor their app.

  19. That's an interesting hypothesis. Now if only you could test it and see if it was true.

    I looked into this. Modern TVs are basically Monitors except they are better set up for the use case of using them without a computer always plugged into them. They have more inputs, they have outputs for sound that comes over from the HDMI feeds, and they have easier to use on screen menus and come with a remote to use them.

    Its not really that expensive. Its just complex. Cloudera Hadoop is free for download. The support is what costs money. If you wanted, you could hire a bunch of green employees straight out of college with CIS degrees and pay the $1500 each to get them all certified with Cloudera. Then just buy two racks worth of commodity servers or buy virtualized space in a cloud environment. All in, you are looking at under a Million Dollars to get an enterprise class big data platform that can store more than a Petabyte of data. The tricky part is the months or years required to start streaming or scooping all the data into the data lake.

    Why would this service even have a default password? Just disable the service until a password is set via the admin page.

  23. Guy, the police have a lot more false positives when they simply try to find people themselves. The software will probably reduce false positives.

  24. You realize the police can legally follow you around anywhere you go in public right? They just don't do so now as a matter of resource restraints.

  25. Maybe you don't understand the meaning of the word "affect". Will your face be scanned? Yes. Will you be affected? Nope. A human could just as easily recognize you visiting a location. You have no expectation of privacy in public and if you have no criminal warrants outstanding then no action will be taken against you. I'm not sure what the problem is here.
