There's many fields of [grievance] study you can get legitimate degrees in that are absolutely preposterous. Literally filled with nonsense, taught by nonsense people who live in these nonsense bubbles. And then they give these degrees and these people go out in the real world and they infect things; their ridiculousness infects certain, particularly tech industry businesses.
So EA has been fully subsumed and they're paying the price of infection. Their WWII game is full of fictional combat super women, the player base has walked away, and EA is fine with it, going full retard and demeaning their customers.
The silver lining in all this sick fail is that young men — doing their level best to avoid everything (college, women, politics, etc.,) beyond their gaming machine — have had a small taste of this Orwellian bullshit. Their coming for you there as well, you latent rapist oppressors.
International tax haven tax avoidance schemes are not what "globalism" refers to.
Yes, it is, your cherry picking notwithstanding. "Oh you silly trumplets, globalism is all these good things over here, none of that bad things over there..."
However the problem isn't globalism. Because you are even explaining how all these countries are failing their manufacturing workers, by playing the "Race to the bottom" game.
That's pretty cool. Somehow you've gotten your mental gymnastics to the point where you can cite a problem that is clearly facilitated by globalism, but somehow not attribute it to globalism.
First question I had was "is that a lot?" Because abusing and demeaning people regardless of creed or genetics when they fail to precisely align with Valley Values group think is pretty much the whole reason for Twitter's existence at this point.
[indians have] been more republican oriented than democrat
No, they haven't been. That's your world view combined with your racism distorting your perception. Actual data shows "Indian-Americans" are overwhelmingly Democrat.
You probably need to check your racism; your distaste for Hindu American's has you associating them with your enemies, despite the fact that such alignment is highly improbable, as common sense should have told you; immigrant groups always align with Democrats.
Clearly we've arrived at the fight phase of ignore, laugh, fight, win. Oracle's RDBMS technology is not special; it's subject to the same commoditization cycle as everything else.
Obviously appealing to your humanity isn't going to work, so how about an economic / safety argument?
Stopped right there. I'd rather risk your parade of horribles than create yet another building full of $200k/year Deputy Chief Assistant Directors of the Department of Homeland Suicide Prevention Department. So whatever terrible things you imaged after that point, let's have that. kthxbye
Concord supercruised as well. That capability wasn't sufficient to make it profitable.
The term "supercruise" isn't all that well defined. There are several military aircraft that can sustain supersonic speed without afterburner given enough altitude and limited or no external stores. The F-22 is just a new degree of supersonic capability; it can perform most of its mission above supersonic speed including weapon deployment and aggressive maneuvers at lower altitudes that previous combat aircraft.
The media simply gave Facebook a free pass up to that point.
If only. Facebook was a media darling many times. When Musk was threatening to fire anyone that dared cross out Black Lives Matter on the "signature wall" there was no end of praise for the oh so virtuous Facebook. When Facebook was grooming supposedly "conservative" stories out of their news feed an amazing phenomena occurred: a groundswell of admiration for corporate sovereignty and the sanctity of private prerogatives.
Zuckerberg could do himself a lot of good by ginning up more SJW red meat. Go on a anti-"hate" jihad and accelerate banning "racists." Someone "deadnames" a celebrity? (Barry for Obama, Bruce for Caitlyn, etc.) Ban them; that's hostility and they need to go! Show us your virtue! Do it with great fanfare and get all your pink and purple hairs wet for you again. Hell, at least tweet more mean things about Trump. What is so hard about that? Block Russia. Announce your love of democracy and what measures you're taking to "save" it from Russian democracy wreckers. Block the whole damn country in the name of democracy.
There are so many things he could do to help get these media people off his back...
Last I heard Facebook is a private company. When Facebook was grooming supposedly "conservative" news items out of their news feed I was told repeatedly that it's their news feed and they can manipulate it however they wish because it's a private company.
Well, guess what; private companies are allowed to hire (R) PR firms and (R) lobbying firms.
Does he realize that if that black person has cash and really wants that $7 coffee, they can stop into that Duane Reade on the way to that coffee shop and get a reloadable cash-based card? Racism solved.
Seems logically consistent to me; the Ritchie J. Torres of the world argue that we can't expect minorities to provide identification to vote, even if the ID is free and easy to obtain. Somehow the expectation is still racist and exclusionary. Guess they figure trading in re-loadable cards is too intimidating or might expose someone to abuse by law enforcement or whatnot.
How is it the role of government to ensure high broadband internet?
The Great and the Good use to understand there was great value in the universality of such systems. Electrification and phone service were both driven by government policies that facilitated and subsidized extension of these networks to rural areas, including those areas that were inherently unprofitable. The utilities tasked to make this so understood they were to shift the costs as required, and this reality was built into the rate structure.
That take on the world has been lost on all sides. The establishment right does what Comcast says, and Comcast et al. just want to milk high margin customers. The establishment left has only contempt for anyone not living in diverse urban areas; the rural white trailer trash need to change their ways and get an efficiency apartment in town or just shut up; subsidizing their needs is just more white privilege and systemic racism.
If "indigenous" Canadians natives can make this a racial justice issue they may be able to pry service out of the system. Rural US is just fucked; no one wants them and they can just go die quietly. Some of them are building municipal/township systems. That's about the only feasible solution in the US unless Musk+Starlink pan out in a big way.
The problem with this finger pointing at programmers, managers and companies and the other rationalizations made in defense of C and C++ is that the opposition has an endless supply of ammunition. The clock is ticking on the next monster headline making flaw that shakes "the Internet," and the odds are great that it will be yet another memory safety exploit. And this process isn't going to stop. On November 15, 2019 a new story may appear that chronicles that latest bunch of memory safety exploits attributable to flaws in C/C++ code that appear between now and then.
At some point the Powers That Be will get tired of suffering the consequences of these flaws and seek solutions. I can't predict exactly what they will do but I can predict what they won't; they will not adopt the vaunted wisdom of the denizens of Slashdot and limit software development to that tiny — and probably mythical — cohort of programmers that write flawless code.
Well, SCTP rides on top of IP (just like QUIC, TCP and UDP) so it is therefore supported by "middleboxes".
Go argue with Google's engineers then. The claim that SCTP has problems appears in both documents I cited so apparently these people are deeply confused and in desperate need of your brilliance. Or not and you don't know what you're talking about.
Why do you have a problem with freedom of association?
I don't. I have a problem with people indulging the fiction that the Internet isn't subject to control (ah la "effective regulation of communication [is] nearly impossible"). It most certainly is subject to control, both by governments and private interests, and I specified some of the ways they exhibit this control.
Private businesses should have....
I didn't say dick about "private businesses." The fact that the term I used — one that obviously encompasses both government and private interests — morphed into "private businesses" inside your head reveals exactly where you're coming from; another groupthink liberal that is pleased with the actions of private companies when they silence your opponents on behalf of the "values" you think these corporations share with you.
And you'll continue to be pleased, right up until your "values" inevitably diverge and you find the voices you prefer being silenced by these same private interests. At that point you'll start pretending to be a free speech advocate, all outraged by "corporate censorship herp derp."
Many are, actually. Those that have common carrier status don't get to make arbitrary decisions about whom they will and won't serve, their "values" not withstanding.
Among the conclusions; QUIC provides better connection latency by eliminating handshake round trips. QUIC mandates encryption for everything in all phases including the initial handshake. QUIC has better compatibility with existing infrastructure because it rides on UDP and is therefore supported by nearly all "middleboxes," whereas SCTP is not universally supported. The connection ID concept allows QUIC connections to transparently survive IP address changes and NAT rebinding.
Luckily the internet is constructed in a way that makes effective regulation of communication nearly impossible.
Except it's not. When you piss off the establishment they pull your domain records, have your host shut down your VMs and ban you from the financial system.
YouTube (Alphabet/Google, actually; stop kidding yourselves) — and the rest of the Valley monsters — have demonstrated that they are entirely capable of precisely moderating the content they host. They do so every day as their finely honed wrongthink detectors isolate every case of "offensive" content. So the argument that this EU requirement is some insurmountable burden is farcical. Unlike the deplorables they enthusiastically hunt down 24/7 with no complaint whatsoever about the financial feasibility, they are simply uninterested in enforcing EU copyright laws.
Well too fucking bad. You people made yourselves the universal go-to moderators in your crusade to safe space the Internet. Content owners won't let you pretend you're not capable of applying the same facilities in service of protecting their IP.
And this aggressive push for extreme IP polices coming from the EU should be no surprise to anyone. Consolidating power in Brussels could only amplify this rent seeking behavior. People heard the warnings of exactly this and pretended otherwise because damn all knuckle-draggers that don't want a giant all-caring all-providing European super government.
Pretty basic concept. Self evident to most people. Not Larry, apparently. It's amusing to consider that inside Larry's mind he believes that dishing on Amazon's database products will attract more customers to Oracle.
Slashdot Mirror
Joe Rogan put it well when interviewing Peter Boghossian & James Lindsay; and discussing where all this shit is coming from:

Author needs "help."
International tax haven tax avoidance schemes are not what "globalism" refers to.
Yes, it is, your cherry picking notwithstanding. "Oh you silly trumplets, globalism is all these good things over here, none of that bad things over there..."
I can't figure out why people install all this junk in the first place.
However the problem isn't globalism. Because you are even explaining how all these countries are failing their manufacturing workers, by playing the "Race to the bottom" game.

Why do Indian-Americans flock to the Democratic Party?
Hindu-Americans Don’t Vote Republican
You probably need to check your racism; your distaste for Hindu American's has you associating them with your enemies, despite the fact that such alignment is highly improbable, as common sense should have told you; immigrant groups always align with Democrats.
...and say "eww ban it now."

popping up a "don't kill yourself" chatbot
While we're at it we should have a "don't mass murder anyone" chatbot as well.
In fact, to hell with your idea; kill yourself if you want. Just leave the rest of us out of it, including the $3.99 service fee.

Russian trolls
Yeah, it couldn't be just working people that don't like energy poverty. It's mindless Frenchmen doing the bidding of Russian trolls on Facebook.

Private businesses are under no obligation
Many are, actually. Those that have common carrier status don't get to make arbitrary decisions about whom they will and won't serve, their "values" not withstanding.
There is a draft RFC that specifically addresses this question; A Comparison between SCTP and QUIC.
Among the conclusions; QUIC provides better connection latency by eliminating handshake round trips. QUIC mandates encryption for everything in all phases including the initial handshake. QUIC has better compatibility with existing infrastructure because it rides on UDP and is therefore supported by nearly all "middleboxes," whereas SCTP is not universally supported. The connection ID concept allows QUIC connections to transparently survive IP address changes and NAT rebinding.
Another rationale for QUIC over SCTP appears here: QUIC: Design Document and Specification Rationale
Again, connection latency is cited. Also, "bandwidth efficiency;" basically QUIC has less overhead than SCTP+DTLS and achieves the same result.
Luckily the internet is constructed in a way that makes effective regulation of communication nearly impossible.
