No they shouldn't. It's police's job to know that this technology doesn't share device's own location, but only last iphone or w/e it could connect to which isn't guaranteed to even be on same property. There are other investigative methods in police's repertoire than sending a SWAT team.

More likely Longsoon which is based on MIPS.

Nihilism is embryonic form of all other ideologies. It is also what they all return to when it's their time to go. So when nihilism "wins", it won't be remembered as nihilism anymore, but rather whatever ideology people rationalize it as later post factum, the new ideology that was "born". It is so only because most people keep futilely seeking for immanent meaning in the existence. It isn't guaranteed that it will be so always though. People change.

It's all subjective. At some point in time Mongols were first world. At some point Romans. At some point Indians. At some point Chinese. Either way it's irrelevant. There is no one true solution. So what's the best alternative to "the west"? The same as the best alternative to having malaria. I.e. not having it.

Firstly that's cherry-picking(ignoring stuff like huguenot purges and bengal famine). Secondly from my point of view communists are westerners too. Or at least westernizers.

Putin does understand western system. After all he's their protege. It's all about kill or be killed. Only when westerners and westernizers eradicate each other the rest of the world can move on.

Relative laxness on alcohol is mostly grandfathered in. Though more people are exposed to alcohol than to drugs so death counts alone don't tell much about their relative lethality.

Official accounts on private message spaces like X are bad idea, because local moderation rules could clash with government's own practices. So I'd say "official" accounts can exist only on such public spaces that resolved this clash, one way or another. Having dedicated forum(or equivalent public space) controlled entirely by government according to its internal policies would be good idea.

CIA don't care about truth in China. They mess with it only because Chinese chose an ideological moniker for them that isn't pleasing to USians. Objectively communism and capitalism are just different variants of same base ideology: economic fetishism. And between close variants of same religion/ideology hostility is often the strongest.

In fact there cannot be equilibrium rate of % at all because storefront's expenses don't scale linearly with combined sales. For example, storing binaries and other auxiliary data can have particular cost per megabyte, but game's storefront cost is entirely different thing. Some cheap/free game can weigh as much as some expensive one nowadays. There are some other expense factors too but you can be pretty sure they don't scale linearly with storefront cost. Some games will have to subsidize others in practice and due to many factors involved exact relation of income/expense can vary wildly for particular game, and this would be changing with time too. So they'd have to take lot extra dough in practice to make a buffer for potential shortfalls.

Source code was always "leaked" as it's opensource project. There's already 4 forks according to TFA. And probably pirates who rely on it could have own private forks.

It's not a fact that measurements mean what they think they mean. Interpretation also depends on models that could be wrong and other things in universe that we don't yet see. In such faraway issues like other galaxies things like that are only to be expected. Better analogy would be a "discovery" rather than "crisis".

I'm merely saying that we shouldn't expect to have an understanding in the first place. How lack of something that can't exist can be a crisis? We don't have full picture here for many objective reasons, lack of proper quantization of gravity is merely one of them. Those dramas just show too much attachment to current partial theories made on shaky grounds simply because there's not enough data. This attachment can only prejudice our search.

This cannot be considered a crisis. Because crisis is long term and severe deviation from normalcy. While there would be nothing normal with having a consistent cosmology theory at our knowledge level. Proper cosmology would at least depend on quantum gravity.

No, Upstart wasn't a good idea. It died only because of its design and limitations it imposed. While Unity DE still is maintained, though not part of Ubuntu anymore.
