    But why do you post nonsense like this:

    No Spanish government demanding removal of all content relating to anything about a Catalan declaration of independence.
    No French government saying that people cant make fun of French politics using cartoons, music, art.
    No German government removing comments on German history, the news about Germany and the results of German politics.

    The problem is, at that time hosting a web site costed hundreds of dollars, per month. The Domain name alone costed around $3000 per year. In Europe dial up internet was so expensive, no one could afford it.

    I designed a game like Eve Online with some friends ... did not much coding, basically an Elite clone with multiplayer option in a presumed "persistent world". We stopped basically because we could not imagine that there once would be $10 fast internet per month ever available.

  5. Shorter copyright terms, e.g. your mentioned 1 year only plays into the hands of publishing houses.
    If I publish an ebook tomorrow, or an App, and after a year the copyright has ran out, I probably have never earned anything worth the time I invested before. Every publishing house that sees the value of my work can simply use its marketing capacity and sell the stuff for insert millions and I never see a dime.

    So: why besides having fun (do I have that?) and making a name (do I make that? if the work is not under copyright, they can remove my name) ... why would anyone, why would *I* do that?

  6. Try to find me one other profession where you can milk the exploits of someone you probably never even met because he died long before you were born.
    Farmer. Toll Bridge. Ship Builder. A Car even. A House. Simply being King ... there are probably thousands. A mine ...

    I don't argue about the report, I argue about your dismissing the numbers and talking bullshit.

    E.g. a poll is not a statistics, aha. And if you make a statistics and your data is from a poll, what is it then?

    Yes, and as Electron apps are native apps, they can do all that ... sigh. Or how do you think they run on my Mac? By being magically reloaded all the time via internet when I need them? They run inside of a watered down Chrome browser, last time I checked it can access files, the clipboard, open pipes (they are files after all) and sockets etc. Or is the Chrome browser now also just a web app that can not do anything?

    Poverty is relative.
    E.g. monthly earning in $US is meaningless. So is GDP etc.
    And then again "rich" white people fly into "poor" countries and produce plastic waste. Thailand had 35.38 million visitors 2017. Population 70million. Obviously tourists only stay a few weeks.

    Thai people produce a huge amount of plastic waste, probably easily 10 times as much as a german. And so do tourists coming here.

    Even my GF who lives rather frugal, produces here more than 10 times the waste I do in Germany.

  18. Idiot very much?
    Obviously recycling is cheaper ... you have the ready made plastic just there and only need to melt it into a new form.

  19. The anti vaccine crowd is strong. Even in Europe.

    There are doctors that encourage concerned mothers: "If you feel uncomfortable, just don't do it. Chances your child gets it (now) is only 1 in 10,000" ... But if it gets it as an adult later there are concrete chances of life time damage or even death.
    They argue: it is less healthy for the mother and the child to fire fears, than having the child get the disease.

    I'm lucky, I'm old enough to have suffered through all those "child sicknesses" during my early child hood, as have my siblings. But honestly: my sister is 9 years younger than me. It was no fun to see her every year going through one or two of those sicknesses. My own I obviously don't remember that much as I mostly was in high fever.

    So something is wrong in all this. Either general relativity is wrong or, more probably, entanglement is not faster-than-light!!!
    General relativity never made any proclaims about entanglements.

    So: why do yo think it is wrong? Which particle of light or energy or mass is transporting the information, which
    is bound to the speed of light? There is none, and as we already know that quantum state transfer is instantly (since 90 years or so) I really wonder why /. is full with ignorants trying to claim it is not the case. 50 or 60 years ago it was unthinkable you could transport information on that base. Sine 30 years we know: we can.

    The rule you may know as "nothing can go faster than light" is actually "information can't be transmitted at more than light speed".
    If that is the new /. meme: it is wrong.
    Breaking of entanglement, or any other spooking behaviour of entanglement is "transmitted" instantly. Hence the quote of Einstein: this is spooky.
