That's not how garbage collection works. Look up "mark and sweep" to see what I mean. Garbage collectors (at least decent ones) are designed to collect cycles so long as none of the nodes are "strongly reachable" (borrowing a phrase from Java... not sure if the same terminology applies to the browser).
Rewrite patent laws so their duration is inversely proportional to the cost of the drug past some arbitrary number (say $1000 a year).
Companies who play these kind of games will discover that the government is not willing to subsidize their drugs while simultaneously providing unlimited protection from competitors.
We know that neo-nazis are attacking minorities. There are plenty of stats on that. It's not clear that allowing them to publish their trash on Youtube "fosters intellectual development and clarity of values". The latter is something that exists in your mind but has yet to be proven according to statistics.
Radicalization is not caused by countries being engaged in war. Propaganda and radical ideology creates terrorists; nothing less, nothing more.
War has nothing to do with it? Okay, imagine that tomorrow you pass some guy on the street who asks you to join an attack on a US government building that is likely to end in your death. Imagine what your response would be to this person.
Ok, now imagine that that same guy asks you to join in the same attack - after your entire, completely innocent, extended family has been killed by drone strikes at a wedding.
Believe what you will, but study after study has shown that the vast majority of suicide bombers come from affluent families that are untouched by war. They are just brainwashed in school (college/university no less) while the rest of us are not. On the other spectrum, they found many suicide bombers wanted to commit attacks to redeem their "family honor" after failing to make it anywhere in life. There is a problem in Arab culture that attaches great importance to subjective forms of "family honor" and makes them commit terrible crimes to redeem it (most often, by murdering their women).
Sure, there is a portion of radicalized teens that commit attacks because they were touched by war but studies have shown them to be the vast minority.
Radicalization is not caused by countries being engaged in war. Terrorist groups might use this for propaganda purposes but it's not the root cause. Further, not all wars are evil.
Propaganda and radical ideology creates terrorists; nothing less, nothing more. Why is it that more Muslims die by the hands of other Muslims than non-Muslims? Notice that this has nothing to do with countries killing civilians. Why are "honor killings" so popular in the Middle-East? It's a different world my friend, and it's not driven by the values you and I are used to.
To my knowledge, Backblaze B2 is platform-independent. You just need to find a client to upload/download from it. If you are a fan of linux, check out https://rclone.org/ (I'm not affiliated with this project)
Yet another stupid idea that places cars in direct competition with the human food chain. Remember what happened when Ethanol was advocated for saving the environment? Food prices sky rocketed as cars began consuming the same food as humans. Poor people starved to death in the thousands. On top of it, Ethanol was a highly inefficiency gas doomed to failure.
So yeah, please don't develop technologies that have cars consuming anything that human beings rely on. It won't be a pretty sight.
Take a look at security-related articles. They rarely quote the underlying problem. More often they mention the customer-facing product that has a flaw. For example, when Windows Media Player has a bug Journalists headline with "Yet another Windows security hole". Linux is no different.
Out of curiosity, why don't anti-viruses create a random file on disk and flag any process that modifies it as a suspected ransomware (for manual or automated intervention)?
Anyone who holds the private key to Apple's website can do some malicious stuff to Apple. Does the existence of this "back door" mean that "everyone can" use it? Absolutely not.
Every time you hand your credit card to someone you are placing your trust in them. If they violate this trust, they are liable for it. Why is this case any different?
The idea of PCI compliance (protecting your financial information) and similarly protection of your healthcare files is no different. It is extremely unlikely that someone will break in, and even less likely that someone will target your specific phone. You are crying foul about something of no practical importance.
As someone who has actually lived in the region for many years, I can tell you that the videos you are viewing are heavily edited. But don't take my word for it, go see for yourself.
This isn't an Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is an Arab-Israeli conflict. Where do you think all the money and political support is coming from?
In that context, Israel is very much the underdog.
Better question: Why is it that Palestinians living in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, etc are legally prohibited from becoming citizens and/or holding down a job? Coincidence? I think not.

"Of course, with permission from the airlines."
Why should airlines be asked for permission? Why not the people actually being scanned?!

This is political mudslinging, not news for nerds.
You can't. By the very nature of this service, latency matters.
Whatever country doesn't respect said license will suffer high-latency sending data back to North America.

Because this worked so well for Tibet...

How many people are trying to solve problems no one really has, for the sake of using a piece of technology or another.
Or is this another slow news day?

Java EE does not have an installer. You're thinking of Java SE.

That is nonsense.
No user runs a kernel on its own. This sounds like a double-standard. Linux should be held up to the same standards as all other operating systems.
Clever!

He's not wrong :)
Dear god. If I had any karma points left I would up-vote you a million times. I'm all for gender-equality but this emoji shit is utter bullshit.
Unicode should contain letters, period.
If human beings can differentiate between the two, computers will be able to do the same eventually.

Crazy idea: but couldn't insurance companies bridge the gap?
You buy insurance and if the copyright holder even surfaces one day, they'd cover the relevant licensing fees.
Most policies should be dirt cheap based on the extremely low probability of an actual lawsuit materializing.
