Sure, Trump won't be another Hitler, but I think he may have paved the way for another Hitler, and that is the part I just cannot forgive. I hope it is the case of our distrust of demagogues somehow failing over time and needing renewed, but I greatly fear this may be the new normal. It has certainly been going around lately.
Indeed. This is a slippery slope and Trump has certainly made it acceptable to think the unthinkable when it comes to presidents. And that is the real problem.
Most of the law is not about right or wrong, but about keeping the population under control. As long as people keep confusing "legal" and "moral", this scam will continue.
We know that Levison is both capable with regards to technology and has excellent personal integrity. Add to that that he now also understand the legal angle better and this is one of the most secure offerings available.
And that is exactly my point: Trump does not know how to be really evil, it requires more understanding, personality and originality than he has to offer. The only thing Trump can do is steal ideas (without really understanding them) and be loud and uncultivated. That is not to say he cannot do a lot of evil, because he can.
And if he does that (which I doubt, after all Trump loves Trump too much to endanger his own life), it will be as comic as it will be tragic and basically it will be an accident caused by stupidity.
Being evil requires the capability to make moral judgments. Trump has no moral compass, hence he cannot be evil. For a simple demonstration, compare the Joker from Batman and Trump. One is a strong character, that knows exactly what he does. The other is a failed human being that without a large inheritance would be a used-car salesman or living on the streets.
If that much iron and nickel becomes available cheaply, prices will drop extremely. The only way they will not, is if the cost is in the extraction. For an example, see Aluminum, which is very much non-rare, but getting it into an usable form costs a lot. So if every ton of this iron costs $1'000'000 to extract, its value is negative as market-prices are a lot lower. Basically the only value this iron has for the foreseeable future is that it does not need to be lifted out of a gravity well.
Morale: People with no understanding of capitalism and markets should not make such estimates.
He does. Let's hope he is right and that this person will have to pay for all the damage he did. If not, criminal business practices like this will become more common...
Your point being? Do you really suggest it is even possible that the guy, as his last act in this world, started playing Harry Potter _after_ the accident?
Solaris (a.k.a. Slowlaris) had its run. In particular, networking still sucks and some other things are not good at all. If Oracle hat kept the experts on and had kept investing, it could have been improved to be a real alternative, but that time is over. After years of neglect, the best is to have it die now and to push for whatever was superior be integrated into Linux instead.
I agree. I mean, an 6502 is a pretty simple piece of electronics and a description of the complete functionality and instruction set can be done on 20-30 pages or so. In addition, it is completely deterministic and has a very small internal state (around 8 bytes). If you cannot model that, then forget about modeling more than a single neuron or a very small cluster of neurons.
They don't. They just have realized, like any civilized country, that punishment is the task of the state and _nobody_ else. Hence they do not release names. This is actually pretty standard in Europe.
Oh, I think it is and that he is currently already paying a price he should not have to pay. But those that think Snowden is a traitor think no revenge has been extracted yet. That was my point. Sorry if that was unclear.
Simple: Do not use Win10 or never connect it to a network. Anybody else that thinks they can reliably "turn of telemetry completely" in the face of missing documentation and forced updates is just kidding themselves. There is a good reason no well-known security researchers have come up with reliable recipes to do it, they know and understand this. It is also extremely telling that there are no good analyses of what actually gets sent out there: It is both difficult to do and the data could change completely on the next forced update.
So, no, at this time it is not reliably possible to block telemetry and still have updates over the net. Of course, this is also designed by MS to not be easy and the only way to ever get this is if MS is forced legally to make it possible or forced to give the LTSB version (where they make assurances in this regard) gets general availability. The current changes are a good first step, but the process is far from completed. They need to be kicked where it hurts a few more times.
MS has none. They have engaged in criminal acts to screw over customers and competitors. Lying to their customers is something they routinely do. They have shown time and again that they feel zero obligations to their customers.
Anybody trusting MS is stupid. They do not deserve trust. They must make legally binding accurate and complete statements about the data they collect, what it is being used for, and how it is secured against unauthorized access. And if they violate any of these assurances, it must be easy to get them convicted of misdoing and face penalties and pay compensation. Only under these circumstances does MS and win10 deserve a modicum of "trust".

I did not. I meant what I said. Causal inference works in this world.

Trump does not have what it takes to be "the greatest monster in human history". Even as a villain, he is a joke.
BK rocks BTW.
He does. Let's hope he is right and that this person will have to pay for all the damage he did. If not, criminal business practices like this will become more common...
Is this a serious question? Are you mentally challenged?
Well, he greatly inconvenienced the truck-driver.
Your point being? Do you really suggest it is even possible that the guy, as his last act in this world, started playing Harry Potter _after_ the accident?
That is beyond stupid.
... can get you killed. I think Tesla should be congratulated for making evolution work again, at least to a small degree.
It is well known that statistics about perceived wrongdoing are notoriously low.
1. GRUB is not Linux
2. GRUB boots Solaris just fine

Excellent point.
They don't. They just have realized, like any civilized country, that punishment is the task of the state and _nobody_ else. Hence they do not release names. This is actually pretty standard in Europe.
Because it is not the US and civilized countries have laws that protect the identities of people that are not yet convicted?
I get it! You mean to say in a circumspect way that you are Dutch! Nice!

This much is dead obvious.
