We see it as an obvious move in retrospect but this goes completely counter to the way most consumer electronics businesses are run then and now. It takes courage because various internal stakeholders, shareholders, and clients demand feature lists and cling to the hope that various markets will explode.

That's funny, I never see any Microsoft-pushed advertising (other than in the Windows Store, which is kinda its point). I right-clicked on CandyCrush, removed it, and have NEVER seen anything I didn't put in my start menu since. I'm on record as having a well-justified hatred/distrust of Microsoft for their stance on things decades back. But that was long ago, and they've changed. I've been using Win10 for five years now, and it's without question the best operating system I've ever used. Both MacOS and any Linux are a huge step backwards, especially when it comes to running 21st century pen/touch apps on 21st century hardware!
Sure, but that opens up a lot of other difficult topics, all of which are very nuanced. If we're not going to consider 18 year old's adults, we need to re-visit the age limits on voting, military service, and other large financial contracts.

In the end, it always comes down to (some degree of) personal responsibility. Just because the government (or your job, or your family, or some guy you met on the street) offers you a new and novel way of ruining your life, it doesn't mean you have to take it. If the choice is pay your student loans and keep your credit score, or pay your rent and avoid being homeless, well, that's a terrible choice to have to make, but the answer is obvious, and the manner by which someone ended up in that situation is also pretty obvious.

Considering that there have been Trojan malware programs out there that can secretly take over a user's webcam since webcams became popular, I'd say it's a given that it is happening on a regular basis.

Also, there are many security programs that can seruptitiously take photos or videos using the camera. Usually this is to help in recovery after theft.
SmartGit is great. It makes Git completely usable to a novice and still useful to powerusers, it also makes it very easy to visualize the state of your repositories. For the most it hides things like staging, however you still need to understand the git "mental model".

I think the biggest problem for people new to git is that it solves problems they don't really have yet. They are solo on their own repo.... they don't see the point of branches, they only really ever need to stage/commit/push all their changes to a remote. So they learn the magic command line incantations until the day it goes wrong somehow, or they need to roll back, or need to start collaborating and they have to dig a bit deeper

Despite this, compliance has fallen short of many peoples' expectations.

Indeed. Are the following two statements true or false?

1. Major data hoarders, including online giants like Facebook and Google and traditional data brokers like credit reference agencies, are still hoovering up huge amounts of personal data and processing it in ways that some or all of the data subjects don't understand and to which they can't therefore have given their informed consent (assuming they are aware of any processing and have given any consent at all).

2. Governments and organisations with ties to governments are still hoovering up huge amounts of personal data allegedly for purposes involving security with little meaningful oversight and little need to demonstrate effectiveness or proportionality.

Until statements like these are false, data protection and privacy law isn't really protecting people from the biggest threats anyway, and the main positive effect of the GDPR is just to give the regulators the ability to impose fines for things that were mostly prohibited anyway but now on a scale that is significant to large businesses. That in itself is probably no bad thing, but if that's all it achieves then it's far from clear that it's been worth the huge implementation costs and the uncertainty it has brought even to honest organisations.

What if new tropical paradises means the current tropical paradises become uninhabitable, creating more forced migrations that make the syrian refugee crisis look like a quiet day on the canadian border, and the lands that become your "tropical paradise" actually are the grain belts of the world, which can no longer grow all the food a continuously expanding global population demands?

Look at all the flooding in the midwest this year -- despite dams on every major river, we've still had record-breaking field inundation and crop failure. Is that the new normal paradise you're describing?
Note also that it has only recently been established that water vapor emitted at cruising altitude has an unexpectedly long residence time and thus an unexpectedly high GWP, perhaps as much as the CO_2 emitted, thus doubling the impact over that same amount of fuel burnt at ground level.

> The court is taking a large step in defining twitter as a public space.

It is not; it is defining the Presidents Twitter account (or perhaps more accurately the discussion space created by direct interaction with that account) as a limited public forum. The distinction between the narrower space and the whole of Twitter is significant.

Were the court to find Twitter as such to be a (limited or otherwise) public forum, that would be a very different story, but finding that government use of Twitter creates a space within Twitter that is a limited public forum is a very different thing.

If a pair of roller skates provides some of the functions of a car, is that a justification for it costing 1,000 times as much as a car? I'm not saying "oh, this is idiotic" because when something seems extremely dumb, often it's just because of some missing context. But you'll have to explain more if I'm going to understand.

And I don't understand what you don't understand about the factor of a thousand difference. Do you think that less than $100 in energy is dissipated in order to produce $100 worth of bitcoin, or do you think that the regular financial system costs more than a few pennies to produce and maintain $100? It's true that the cost of printing a $100 bill does not cover all of the functions of the banking system, but it's also true that dollars don't even have to be printed to be used, and those which exist only as ledger entries are far cheaper. So I think 0.1% is more like an upper bound than a lower one.

You're having a totally different discussion than all the people you replied to. Nobody above you said "this is destroying the planet and we need to guillotine the oil barons." You introduced the idea of "we don't know what normal is" when it wasn't relevant.

This is the wettest 12 months in the US on record. This is almost certainly because the global temperature has gone up significantly in the last century+.

If you want to talk about this, talk about this - don't waste time attacking imaginary points you think other people are implying.
Yeah, a dispatcher would have to be designed to guard its secrets. For example, it'd have to ensure that it can do tasks in whatever window it needs to, have a logic for simulating CPU-load if an attacker might be able to watch the CPU's process load, potentially force the CPU to burn more power if we're trying to protect against power-analysis, etc..

Logically, it'd seem like a more complex task since we'd have to keep track of what secrets we're guarding and planning an execution strategy to meet those criteria. But, it feels cleaner to acknowledge these criteria and ensure that they're being addressed.

No, any layman can easily construct a reasonable sounding explanation tying any of these odd patterns to climate change.

It doesn’t matter whether or not they are actually caused by climate change.

It’s a level of annoying to me similar to when my dad uses a cold winter as evidence that there is no warming going on.

So the implication is that this is that maybe this is the wettest 12 months since 1879?

> It's illegal to discriminate candidates based on non-work aspects (e.g. candidate has kids).

This is true only when a specific law creates a specific protected class. Discrimination is legal by default. An employer can freely choose who it associates with. It only becomes illegal when a specific law makes it so.

Protected classes in most US jurisdictions include characteristics like gender, race, religion, some medical conditions. Age is a protected class only over age 40; discriminating against a worker of age 39 for being too old, or favoring workers over 40, is entirely legal. I don't know offhand if family status of kids is a protected class.

But protected classes don't include a lot of things that people commonly think they do. Some example non-work factors that are perfectly legal to discriminate on because there is no US law protecting the class: smoking, obesity, height, car you drive, method of commuting, sports team favoritism.
How does mobile roaming for mainland Chinese visiting HK work? Are they put on a different VNET which still experiences censorship? After all HK phone providers could have secret agreements to enforce the GFW filtering (redirect traffic through China etc) for Chinese citizens.

When I visit mainland China on my T-Mobile roaming plan I am on some sort of separate subnet that is uncensored and I can continue to access services I cannot use with a China SIM card.

As the 737 Max has shown, this isn’t exactly the industry you want to “move fast and break things” by attempting to try out every late and great technology. Then there is just an issue with the business model in general.

> One can cite or represent a bloody knife for shock value. In such cases, the implication is often clear. I suspect you're either misleading with the shocking implication, thereby having it both ways.

I am not making any implications. My point here is very clear: your statement that the scenarios I described are illegal is false. It's as simple as that. Either way, it doesn't matter to the point I'm making.

> your scenarios don't really make sense if one applies the "not a big deal" interpretations

Whether you regard the scenarios as "extreme" is a subjective characterization that has no impact on the argument. I am arguing that censorship isn't inherently bad or wrong. I don't agree that the examples are extreme or illegal, but even if they are, they are still examples of content that could inadvertently end up on the internet; the point is the same no matter how it got there.

Even if someone broke into the house of a politician, assaulted them at gunpoint, and then stole sensitive political documents before posting them on the internet, the argument is the same. The voluntary censorship of those materials by platform owners would not necessarily be bad or wrong. In that extreme and illegal example, platforms might have a legal obligation to censor the materials as well, but that doesn't change whether or not doing so is bad or wrong.

> There is indeed a problem with speech devoid of principle, meant only to hurt someone. This is understood by the law. The purpose of Free Speech is to let people express grievances or objects with regards to principles. Morally reprehensible speech should be allowed, but it's not the purpose of Free Speech. Some subset of morally reprehensible speech would even be illegal, and therefore it wouldn't be protected as Free Speech.

Descriptions like "devoid of principle and meant only to hurt someone" is a subjective determination the likes of which sit at the heart of every free speech debate. As you already stated, in the context of "what is understood by the law" the point is moot since "illegal speech" is not "free speech" by definition unless you're arguing that the law is wrong or misapplied. Either way, speech that is "devoid of principle and meant only to hurt someone" is also legally protected speech in most cases.

> Again, it's you who brought up the nebulous extreme examples in the first place, with the purpose of having it both ways to justify censorship.

I did not "justify censorship", I refuted the statement "censorship is always bad". To characterize that as justifying censorship is dishonest.

> Not to mention none of the catastrophic climate consequences predicted in 1980 came to pass

Yes, AGW which was observed and predicted to get worse in 1980 and even earlier has come to pass largely as predicted.

The catastrophic effects of ozome depletion didn't occur because of massive steps to counteract it, like banning CFCs. So that can't be what you are talking about.

You are probably trying to reference the fringe theory of an impending ice age which got a lot of popular media attention despite being (or perhaps precisely because it was) a fringe theory, but... that's a broken analogy for obvious reasons.
Yes. And the greenhouse effect overall is mostly due to water in the air. But water content is very sensitive to temperature. And when CO2 level increases, that also increases water content. So water is like an amplifier for CO2 changes.

Edit: Maybe someone thinks that this is a GCC-denial argument. It's not. Water vapor is in fact the major greenhouse gas: 36% (in dry areas) to 72% (in humid areas) of total greenhouse forcing.[0]
