as time went on Anonymous increasingly became a tool of western 'liberal' establishment pushing its ideology against outsiders. for example, it, becoming prosecutor, judge, and executioner, tried to take down twitter accounts (branded as isis supporters) of those protesting and resisting( by definition through a non violent platform of tweets) western crimes, torture camps, invasions, etc.. it tried to do the same for outsider candidate trump. in contrast Anonymous has not done anything against establishment criminals like clintons, or members of western military drone killing children in countries it invaded , or those running the torture camps illegally.
it is not established science, and certainly not a sound basis for making decisions resulting in use of lot of resources which can be used for other better things that have no such problems of authenticity
" One such collision wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. " this is not science. that is a hypothesis. a good one but nothing more so far.
"films such as "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact" depict what might happen..." really? mediocre movies are the way to model future?
too much of such propaganda and hype may lead to bad decisions that will make bad use of scarce resources. resources better used on more real problems that results in real tragedy, every day right now. for instance, there are millions without clean water( and thousands die because of that). but such things are not sexy . not to forget, in some places whole world of people are/were destroyed by governments( especially by principal ones that fought the cold war) in ways more terrible than in any movie. but usa is not looking for practical solutions but more wars and regime changes.
"every single person I know who has switched to android from iPhone has regretted it" facts contradict that, given the ever decreasing apple market share. stick to facts, not hype.
i have not much sympathy for anyone who willingly buy in to the apple ( and other big tech corp) hype, and buy products when similar quality products with almost all the functionality are available elsewhere at much lower prices. what is more sellers of those products wont have to wherewithal to hound you if you change stuff as you see fit.
are vr and ar easy to use for an average user, like a tv or a smartphone( such as not having to wear inconvenient head gear)? are they useful to everyone(as opposed to a niche of special users like gamers or scientists) like laptops?
if no, (imo it is 'no ', at present and in 2025,) for both questions, then there isn't going to be large market.
these things must need lots of instructions from dozen or more of remote handlers. in addition they will depend on, lots of known ( and constantly available and updated) data about locations and conditions, and systems like gps, etc etc. these are weak points. and will certainly be exploited. more complex the drone/robot, easier it will be to undermine.
to add to my above, those who are in charge of firefox no longer interested making its core product better and secure. it is interested market and marketing, bowing to establishment ideology and legalese, etc etc
all this is good, but ultimately it is up to each one of us to protect ourselves. we knew facebook( and other big techs) is abusive and intrusive. but most consumers do not care. and that means govs do not care eventually, especially if they get to be abusive and intrusive through facebook. if some thing is abusive and intrusive, do not use it for anything worthwhile. if most people do that, facebooks of the world will leave off . but if most people prefer being lazy and pampered by govs, to being private, then we deserve what we get.

"the friend of mankind is no friend of mine... to honor all men is to honor none" - from molière's 'the misanthrope'. do whatever links facebook accounts have with one another, count as 'connections' between human beings? has societies that give importance to facebook links, lost all ability to distinguish and differentiate? to value such links on same level as real human connections, may not matter in a superficial empty life. but if life is worth living, and and there is value in emotional depth and intelligence, those two types are not even in the same world.
twitter is private so it is in fact free to do as it wishes. twitter can be the prosecution, judge, and executioner, in a private space owned by it
but all people who love freedom will note well and remember , that by this action it is freely indicating that what it wishes is to do is to obey the western secular 'liberal' establishment and its agenda, same that is invading countries, looting resources, running torture camps, sanctioning coups, drone killing children, spying on everyone, etc etc,. twitter is willing to judge and brand those who disagree with that agenda (in its privately owned property), and perhaps sometimes advocate violent resistance to that agenda, as 'terrorists' ( note however that no physical violence is taking place in twitter and accounts of those who are convicted through due legal process of such violence elsewhere are not the issue here )
now we know twitter is a willing tool of some nasty people. just as twitter is free to cac like this, we are free to show contempt for that action, (unless we are ourselves specimens of lowest form of humanity to support what twitter is supporting)

ignorance displayed by people like you should not be a surprise to anyone
my point
false analogy.
chance of house fire and potential damage can be calculated and insurance premium will be based on that .
we can do more than one thing, but there is always an opportunity cost . never heard of that ? look it up. my bad for assuming basic literacy
" One such collision wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. "
this is not science. that is a hypothesis. a good one but nothing more so far.
"films such as "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact" depict what might happen ..."
really? mediocre movies are the way to model future?
too much of such propaganda and hype may lead to bad decisions that will make bad use of scarce resources.
resources better used on more real problems that results in real tragedy, every day right now. for instance, there are millions without clean water( and thousands die because of that). but such things are not sexy .
not to forget, in some places whole world of people are/were destroyed by governments( especially by principal ones that fought the cold war) in ways more terrible than in any movie. but usa is not looking for practical solutions but more wars and regime changes.
your mistake . work it out.
not good with logic are you ? even half a statement seems too much, so please don't bother with rest.
anyone buying a product from a company run by shyster marketers like steve jobs and tim cook should be doubly beware.
"every single person I know who has switched to android from iPhone has regretted it"
facts contradict that, given the ever decreasing apple market share. stick to facts, not hype.
i have not much sympathy for anyone who willingly buy in to the apple ( and other big tech corp) hype, and buy products when similar quality products with almost all the functionality are available elsewhere at much lower prices. what is more sellers of those products wont have to wherewithal to hound you if you change stuff as you see fit.
this is all excellent news, but 'a new era of eternal data archiving' !
anyone for a sign of human hubris.
fun to know there are people engaging in basic logical fallacies like you.
are vr and ar easy to use for an average user, like a tv or a smartphone( such as not having to wear inconvenient head gear)?
are they useful to everyone(as opposed to a niche of special users like gamers or scientists) like laptops?
if no, (imo it is 'no ', at present and in 2025,) for both questions, then there isn't going to be large market.

these are weak points. and will certainly be exploited.
more complex the drone/robot, easier it will be to undermine.
to add to my above, those who are in charge of firefox no longer interested making its core product better and secure. it is interested market and marketing, bowing to establishment ideology and legalese, etc etc
correct that to "open source sell out", for that is what firefox is
all this is good, but ultimately it is up to each one of us to protect ourselves.
we knew facebook( and other big techs) is abusive and intrusive. but most consumers do not care. and that means govs do not care eventually, especially if they get to be abusive and intrusive through facebook.

so what it the news?
"the friend of mankind is no friend of mine ... to honor all men is to honor none" - from molière's 'the misanthrope'.
do whatever links facebook accounts have with one another, count as 'connections' between human beings?
has societies that give importance to facebook links, lost all ability to distinguish and differentiate?
to value such links on same level as real human connections, may not matter in a superficial empty life. but if life is worth living, and and there is value in emotional depth and intelligence, those two types are not even in the same world.
