Communism doesn't work when it is implemented by people because people are too selfish and flawed. That is why communism was a very successful tool for authoritarians to gain enough support to seize power and then immediately abandon the facade. It is sort of like Christianity in that respect - lots of pie in the sky promises of equality that sound great to people who have been poor or oppressed their entire lives that the people in charge never actually intend to deliver.

None of the people you mentioned would be MAGA today. Shit, if Reagan were alive today MAGA would probably call him a socialist commie.

It is also much more customizable. You can install your own launcher so you don't have to see any ads.

So Bender was right, it was really bright in the past?

We soon need more children.

Why? Because our shitty economies are based on perpetual population growth? I think the world would be a much nicer place to live in if the human population was eventually (over a century or two) whittled down to 1 billion. That would allow everyone to have enough space and resources as well as providing well beyond the minimum genetic diversity necessary for the healthy survival of our species.

Its still a slow piece of shit full of ads and telemetry. I replaced mine with an Nvidia Shield and it is much more responsive and customizable.

If there's evidence of danger, simply link to it.

My first smart phone was an iPhone 3G. After that, I switched to Android and never looked back. I can't remember the last time I had to sideload something, but if Google goes through with this shit I'll be taking a serious look at something like the Librem 5. It is $2000, but that is pretty much what all new top of the line phones cost these days.

European law dictates that if you allow people to sign up online, which they do, you should also allow them to cancel online

We almost had a regulation that would enforce that in the US. Then companies cried it would cost too much money to implement before the deadline, so it has effectively been killed.

Fuck TiVO with a rusty jagged pipe. They double charged me the cancellation fee, since my contract wasn't up yet, and then did not refund me the full extra amount they charged. They absolutely refused to refund me whatever amount of the fee was for taxes, despite the fact that they fucked up by double charging me in the first place. They acted like because the remaining portion was the tax amount, there was absolutely nothing they could do.

The fact is, we're already employing all of the high-skilled domestic workers we can.

Have any evidence to back up this rather bold claim?

J.P. Morgan states the move "prices out the utility of H-1B as a source of labor supply."

No shit, dumbass. That is the entire point. There are plenty of people in the US that are already citizens that can do the jobs that most of these H1B workers are hired for. Corporations like J.P. Morgan just don't want to pay the going rate for some uppity American that isn't beholden to them and their sponsorship to stay in the country.

Nope, I don't give two fucks about it being dark in the morning during winter. What pisses me off is when it is already dark by the time I get home from work. I want sunlight when I have time to make use of it. What good is sunlight in the morning when I'm in my car or office the entire time?

Why do you think so many hackers are from Russia and former-Soviet eastern European countries? Is it because of racism/culturalism/colonialism, or is it simply the result of people with an education and skills combined with limited legal/profitable opportunities?

Good
