>where they almost use the momentum of the rocket to "fling"

this is compulsory anyway due to physics.

Freedom is an end in and of itself. You don't have to show that a freedom will benefit a person in another way for it to have value.

Did all the dictators get together and decide on the phrase "national security" as the go to when implementing authoritarian laws?

Why should anybody take any chances when another person is one swipe away?

If this was true, why is photoshop a thing?

You don't have anything to backup your assertion (or even have the possibility of evidence, before what you are assertion is what's in the mind of people).

When I browse through a fashion magazine, most models are unknown to me, they might as well be AI-gen.

The people that you know that tries to sell you cloth comprise a small fraction of people-images that you are exposed to.

Your reasoning is that people are stupid and therefore you should manipulate them 'for their own good' because they have no self-agency and self-responsibility.

Needless to say, people who think like this make terrible dictators when given the chance.

If you surrender control to a doctor to perform a surgery, and the doctor decides to stab you in the heart, why aren't you responsible for being stabbed, since you chose to 'completely surrender control'?

The fines should be 100 billion. Make them itch a little.

Why shouldn't I be able to move from one place to another?

If a bunch of goons will say I can't, why can't I hire another bunch of goons that say I can?

Because the US isn't a feudal state where the phrase 'a king's ransom' is used literally.

And that's a good thing.

the only people who hate middlemen are people who cannot into economics.

Only a matter of time before AI-powered 'prose anonymiser' is developed.

Then you can just run all your naughty words through the russian styliser.

Because to do backbreaking work, labour demands $200 million.

the current low price of produce is subsidised by cheap illegal immigrant labour. Just like how the spartans spent their time being warriors while their slaves toiled the field.

Are you even conscious? How do I know you are not a zombie?

You can't admit fault or imply so. The legal department will veto it.

Well. People are known to be completely irrational when it comes to economics: minimum wage, welfare, healthcare etc.

>The only change that's "needed" is increase in affordable housing to the lower- and middle-class which forms the support fabric without which the town can't exist.

and how are they going to do that without allowing the city to be denser?

At this point you can figure out if a technology to reduce atmospheric carbon level will be effective or not by looking if oil companies are investing in it.

Probably a natural gas plant.

This is not true though. Security is about mitigating threat at some cost. There are some threats you can't mitigate cost-effectively. Some are unmitigable at all.

Do you eat meat?

How is killing chicken not worse than capturing lizards?

Would have worked without those darn meddling free marketers.

That site says they are open to consulting, but I'm not sure if it's satire or not.

There are still plenty of providers who don't use DRM.

You just want the DRM users content but you want it without DRM.

So what really happened is the content producers enticed the users into DRM with their content. It's the other way around, and the consumers voted with their wallet (and clicks)

Could the alternative be gasp not using facebook?

that's the important point. DRM is the price one must pay to consume BIG MEDIA content.

there's no getting around it. if you want it you have to play by their rules.

so pride is killing their ability to access information.

In this case I have no pity for them, then. If they want to feel better about themselves by cutting off their own ears because other people are using English then let them.

Here's a step to fix your communication issue. Don't assume people know what OKR is, and explain it briefly at the start of your article about OKRs.

EEVblog and CodysLab are scams?

Why haven't i heard about this? Do you have any source?

When I was a kid I did dream of being a cyber-mercenary. Given that the US recognise cyberspace as being a battlespace, would being a hacker for another country count as being a mercenary. Would that make you a combatant?
