Check out economic fascism/corporatism, which seems to be very relevant for Google and Amazon. The gist is that huge coroprations cooperate with the state(s). Google itself doesn't have to be 'fascist', but if the state involved is, then Google is a contributer to a fascist system. China comes to mind, clearly a fascist/corporative state. IBM's cooperation with nazi Germany is a historical example.
Corporations should not be evil ("Don't be evil", Google's old slogan), but they are as long as they support dictatorships just to make a buck. This goes for almost all multinationals, not just Google and Amazon. It's not as if Egypt and UAE invented their own monitoring HW and SW. They purchased it from us to suppress their own citizens.
BTW, one might argue that mega-corps are 'fascist and or dictatorships' by design. They certainly aren't run as democracies, but have their 'strong man/führer' who runs the show, all in pursuit of the mighty dollar.
I feel the same way, but people seem to be happy with their cell phones, data cap or not. BTW, in some countries, like Finland, there's no data cap. If 5G delivers what it promises, throughput should not be an issue. And Wi-Fi isn't dead yet either:)
5G is coming soon with big promises about speed and availability. Always-online netbooks is a thing already. Maybe the next generation netbooks will use a non-Intel CPU to save both production costs and power?
If people replace their PCs with a new Internet-enabled device(netbook, glorified cell phone, or something entirely new), sales of Intel CPUs will drop. A lot. It may be the death of both Intel CPUs and Windows OS.
It's marked troll, but it really wasn't. Look up the patent - 5 engineers + David Rothschild owned it. One of the 5 engineers died a month or so before MH370 went down, the other 4 were on MH370 (along with a bunch of the rest of their company) on a business trip.
1) Norway shares borders with Russia. Sweden does not. 2) Ask any eastern european about Russia and communism. They were occupied by Russia for almost half a decade.
Transportation related CO2 emissions are the greatest single source of climate change. Makes sense to tax fossil fuel cars and subsidize EVs. (The rest of you comment is irrelevant to this discussion.)

IMHO, if IBM were to blame, the same principle applies to all companies doing business with totalitarian regimes, like China, Iran, and Saudi-Arabia. These companies aid the regimes suppressing their citizens, for profit. The right thing to do for anyone believing in democracy and human rights, is to boycott Apple and others.
"Production of ANY car yields CO2 because of electricity usage. "
Correct, but not very relevant. The point was that EV aren't non-polluters as many people seem to believe. EVs with big batteries are huge polluters, even if the electricity comes from clean sources.
Personally, I'd like to see a push for more motorcycles and less cars, even if that'd affect the economy negatively. Cars are big business, which is why it's so hard to replace cars with something more sustainable.

Won't work. Unbreakable crypto is needed for e.g. web businesses, and the bad guys can always set up shop and communicate through that site.
We need a reasonably coherent language that can be used by âoeordinary programmersâ whose main concern is to ship great applications on time.

Your math is broken too, mate :)
That 94K figure isn't the yearly value. Your math is broken

That sounds just like a Seinfeld episode to me :)

All hail Android? All hail ARM?
Personally, I'm way more interested in getting my hands on an "FPGA in CPU"...
Maybe something like this?

I checked, and your story is bullshit.
1) Norway shares borders with Russia. Sweden does not.

Corn ethanol is not very energy efficient. Go for Gen IV nuclear and electric cars.

Transportation is not the greatest single source in the US.

Nah, mate. Try harder and you will see that I linked to the source.

The summary said messenging apps. Do you use Whatsapp to for that purpose?

Jeez.
I wonder what would happen if brilliant and smooth-talking developers like Linus Torvalds or Theo de Raadt joined the rust community.
+1 for making me laugh :) Satire at its best
"if you're looking for zero environmental impact, the only logical course of action is suicide"
Jeez, you're childlish.
EVs are better, no doubt. But EVs aren't zero emission vehicles, and big batteries are much worse than small.
