Children shouldn't be exposed to the capitalistic system so early. It mechanizes their minds and makes it harder for them to imagine a world apart from exchange when they grow up.

> I see *many* YT videos which include footage from other YT videos and the only way they got that was to download the video so as to include it in their own.

Actually when you upload a video, you can say whether you want to allow other YouTube creators to sample your video.

Just curious why you are trying this fast? I tried to fast for just one day, only drinking water, and it was amazingly hard. At night I actually had to eat something, I was ravenous.

Having the world's open source development dependent on a huge American company with corporate interests sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Even if it were true, I wouldn't have negative feelings towards Sean Connery. It doesn't even sound that mean. Apple is not exactly a charity.

The following scenario is not realistic but it is a limiting case: imagine a massive spaceship comes to our planet, and the aliens on it can provide us with every need, in return for raw materials, which they can only get by people mining the materials.

Then everyone will essentially become poor, and have to do hard physical labour.... that is what big tech is bringing us towards. A future where more and more services can be done by them, so they accumulate a disproportionate amount of wealth (not to mention at the expense of the environment, through pushing their addictive devices on the masses).

In my opinion this should be stopped. Big tech should be regulated, and the wealth obtained by producing superfluous but addictive devices should be stripped from them. They should not be allowed to exist.

I think it's sad that there are millions of interesting games in flash on the internet like Neopets that won't be usable in the future and whose code will just end up vanishing.

Teams has a pretty horrible interface, if you ask me. I can't understand why every post of more than a couple lines needs a "Read more" link. It just feels very cramped.

I've been using DDG for a few years now. It's just as good as Google. Sadly it also suffers from the same problems: the first pages of results are often filled with sites that are all very similar generic clones of each other like TechRadar and HowToGeek.

We have evolved a remarkable ability for latching onto new information and processing it. But I think we are not made for the huge store information readily available to us made possible by the internet, and I feel its continuing use can only lead to disaster.

I like the comparison. A lot of people won't care for the extra features the iPhone has. Also, the Pixel3A has way more advanced computational photography for stills, like Night Sight which vastly improves low-light shots compared to the iPhone X.

If they followed the rules and didn't break any laws, then the headline should be "Stupid Legislators write tax code that allows (amount) of tax revenue to go elsewhere."

It's not that the legislators are stupid. Tax law is hard, and a lot of this loophole stuff is because these multi-billion dollar companies have really good lawyers and accountants to get around it.

These stories are showing that the tax system isn't working as we think it should, and therefore it should be changed so that society gets back something a little more reasonable for all the profits this company made while using said benefits of society.

R won't die because it is the de facto in statistics. No matter how good Python becomes, there is so much basic stats stuff that is just built into R that Python as a base system cannot replace it. Also, while Python is gaining in popularity, every academic scientist and statistician will continue to use R and so all the latest methods and packages will be written for R. Even now, if you are doing serious stats (and not just casual data science), the R ecosystem dwarfs Python's.

If you use uBlock origin, you can individually click on the recommendations that pop up near the end of the video and just block them. There are about fifteen elements to block but after you do that all the annoying recommendations stop (they are annoying because they block the end of the video).
