Somebody is working really hard to make you distrust government
And it looks like SOMEBODY is working really hard to make you trust government.
Here's a funny: about 4 decades ago, a common joke about government was: "If you hear someone say, 'I'm from the government and here to help you', you turn and run like hell." So The Evil Anti-Gov People have been busy for a long, long time, not just the last few years.
Like usual, (**I** think) government is all coordination, not control. For one thing, it's much easier to find and get your hands around the neck of your governor or state legislature (or even mayor) than it is for Trumps, Obamas, (shudder) #ImNotWithHer Hillary, or Slick's neck. They're way too important to be bothered with little people like YOU.
In the last case though, if you were going after his OTHER head and were female, that'd be a really smokin' thing. Bring your own cigar.
Do you have ANY numbers to back up your ridiculous claims?
He never does. He just makes outrageous claims that read well to people looking to buy into some outrage he's peddling.
Just like the Huff Post, whenever he takes a stand on something, I exactly know my initial starting place -- exactly OPPOSITE of him. Vary rarely have I later on changed opinions to even partially agree with him.
quantum internet... and autoritarian governments will have no power to block or filter.
Really? And who says that you'll be able to access it once built and running? If it works the Gvt will keep it to themselves -- you won't be able to get anywhere near it, physically OR logically.
whatever happened to the time-honored tradition of learning the rules so you know when to break them?
Noticed this ages ago. Peers in school would try to do odd things. OK, Fred, you're NOT Shakespeare or ee cummings, no matter if you think that you ARE.
1 out of a million can break the rules, and you're NOT Neo, you're in class supposed to be learning them. Neither is 99% of the current singing or rap population, either.

The last paragraph should start, "In conclusion," then summarize the previous three paragraphs
So if the final paragraph summaries the preceding stuff, that is all a reader needs to bother with. Just skip to the last few sentences and it will convey the "meat" of the essay. And that means the reader doesn't have to wade through all the redundant stuff above it.
That sounds like a win, to me. A bit like an abstract in an academic paper.
And why the Hell is TL;DR supposed to be at the bottom? If I didn't bother to read the article I'm sure as heck not going to see the bottom of it where the synopsis is "supposed" to be. Learned that a decade ago in business writing class my company sponsored.
Put it, and "In conclusion" at the top. If I want your justification or supporting details I'll read on.

But did Euclid bother to register it with the corresponding Copyright/Patent Offices? No? Then IT'S STILL UP FOR GRABS, DO IT NOW. Add "ON A COMPUTER" and you're golden.
Or just say you identify as Euclid today and don't even bother. It didn't work for this guy but he was arguing about age, which is math. And we all know that "Math Is Hard" from that great sage: Barbie.
Liberals: "Who can we blame for this problem" and start asking "What can we do to fix this problem."
You obviously haven't talked to one. Problems are the goal, and Big Government to produce yet more problems are the ultimate goal. I'm not sure the Republicans are much better.
I'd like the scaffolding to be there to help people in need, yet after a year or two trail OFF support to zero. You've got a while to get back on your feet -- do it. Otherwise: No Soup For You.
(But.. but.. but... )... so get OFF yours and start working, or learning, or moving elsewhere. And quit spending money you don't have, and cut out most luxurious and start to save for a rainy decade. Being old will be here before you know it.
I just plan on going into my Amazon account every few weeks and deleting all voice recordings.
It's just easier just to give it a voice command instead: Alexa, give yourself a lobotomy. And it's done!
Alexa: Sure, Dave, I've done just that. Won't you step into the pod since the pod bay doors are open now?
Due to a pricing mistake I got a bunch (10) of Google Mini's for $9 each and plan to give them to my friends with "Big Brother is Watching You" wrapping. I opened on up and started using it. OMG it's gone from going to be a funny joke to "WOW -- this thing's pretty neat!"
I've been pleasantly surprised by it. "What's the weather? What about tomorrow? Turn the light on. (The correct light for THAT room comes on.)" Big G already owns my soul, so what's a few more crumbs?
And the best thing with the mini is that it doesn't have a camera in it, so i can prance around the house naked and not shock Mrs. British Green Google into a coma. (Voices are named by colors. Default is Red, I use British Green so I can distinguish between Google Maps and Google Home.) If they want to record me snoring they're welcome to as long as they CC my sleep doctor.

suggesting that a world where we are nice to each other is more pleasurable to live in than a world where we are not. It's a revolutionary idea
Well you cretin, *I* don't like it. If you fucking believe that I've been rude to you, then you're completely mistaken -- I haven't.
If I'm trying to be rude to you, you'll have absolutely no mistake about it.
And even then, you can't be nice all of the time. And some events call for NOT being nice, or even mean, or even hateful.
Besides, the current state of things seems like people aren't EVER allowed to grow from who they used to be. If you even said One Naughty Thing about someone once, you must then think that way forever -- even though you're a wise, worldly EIGHT at the time. Far be it you might change your mind about things as you grow 25% older, say to ten. Never mind puberty. Or getting a job where they give a paycheck and expect slightly more than breathing.
Not that these transitions have been used in movies since the 1930s or anything.
But they're on a phone now, so that makes it totally fucking original.
Movies are up on that big screen. A phone is in your hand. That's COMPLETELY different -- stupid.
(Walking off...) Gaaa, why do you guys keep trying to interfere with my money stream?
Get a (very?) smart fridge. It automatically orders milk, meat, veggies, and such for you and Kroger delivers. (Now they need to add an additional fee to place it in the fridge. Electronic door lock, too) When it expires, the fridge orders more. The stock computer in the other room trades when it can make a profit.
ASS U ME ing it can make a large enough profit for electrical power and internet (WiFi / 4G) connection for all devices, then we can finally outsource all them people living in houses and move them all elsewhere.
What a clean and tidy and shiny world it'll be! I'm looking forward to seeing it all!
Oracle's CTO: No Way a 'Normal' Person [JUST LIKE ME] Would Move To AWS
Birds of a feather flock together. Everyone around him is normal; the weird ones are those who DON'T work for or use Oracle. QED.
It's just like a lot of things we had at my old job. Some were crap-ish, some were good, and a few were great. There was ONE that was great, but just failed the bang-for-the-buck test. We bought it anyway, but IMO it was a misteak.
Errr: Yes, yes, and yes. But then again I've never considered myself to be Hip, Elite, or Cool. Ever.
I'm just happy if I'm wearing a shirt and pants on when I go outside, never mind looking like the fashion of the month. (It seems my neighbors and the police are usually happier when I remember both of them though.)
Should you label the month the animal's... was born in?
OMG, this hamburger contents was born in at the end of February? That makes it a Pisces -- it's not a hamburger, it's a fishburger! Pisces and I don't get along well -- get that sushi away from me!
One man's garbage is another man's... fact? Is THAT how it goes?
Then again (and where DID this come from?) you "have to" be considerate and look at ALL ideas EVERWHERE.
Fine, but we're all not 4yos arguing 1+1=11. Having a discussion on Calculus or Interplanetary Orbits does NOT need to include that.
You can argue limits are stupid (beginning Calculus) or the Earth is Flat (beginning Geology -- then again, if it's not Australians who live at the "bottom of the world" then who is it? (Oh, sorry, I got underneath and bottom confused. Can we also have a discussion on how some words don't mean what I want them to mean and we should all change to suit me?)
Just like old school Primary and Secondary Schools, and College, some concepts and approximation details are better kept for later until people can understand them. But that doesn't mean the advanced classes are still stuck in the gross approximations the noobs and neophytes are.
We want to make our original content available to an even broader user base who can't afford our subscription fees, so...

I had one once trigger on a BAT file I had just written. We had a support contact with an unnamed company, but our McAfee support rep was a bit confused. "How can you be confused? I'm using your predefined scan settings. I wrote it from scratch, so unless there's virus stenography hidden in the top bit of each byte it's NOT a virus. What, are you keying off file length?"
But I always wanted to write a Virus.bat file that (a) you had to run manually, (b) prompted you to insert a new floppy to infect, and (c) give it to a friend and tell them to run the virus file. (Yep, it was that long ago.)
