Boy, the billionaires are really, really glad that you feel this way.

The demands of the opt-outs are obviously bullshit. The obvious way would be to allow you to opt-out by simply uploading a short video snippet of your face saying “I'm opting out” (or variations of the same in the language and tone of your choice).

Seriously?! The Russians might appreciate the non-hostility of the Chinese; but don’t confuse that with trusting them.

Whoosh!

..for VW utility vehicles. Seriously, that’s all it is. There is no chair, Star Trek or otherwise.

Basically the Ponzi scheme of modern finance has decided the crypto Ponzi scheme can’t be cooped and thus must be condemned.

The capability is already there on these platform; it’s being used to identify audio and video for the purposes of protecting IP and generating and directing advertising revenue.

So the question is not wether it’s technically possible but whether these providers can be made to behave responsibly.

You’re missing the most obvious source of population growth in countries where fertility rates are falling (don’t feel bad; most people do): mortality rates are also falling; the population is ageing: the real effect is obvious but often missed: more people are living longer and making the population (live people) larger. The effect is even more marked in developing countries where life expectancy is growing faster. You can not predict population growth from reproduction rates alone.

Seems like most people here has got the wrong end of the bread-stick. This is not about food standards at all, or even ‘government regulation’ as such. It’s a tax break thing. The government exempts certain bread products from sales tax to subsidise their production and consumption (not an uncommon public health/anti-poverty technique used across the world on staple goods). This bread doesn’t meet the required standard; no subsidy for you; end of story. I’m surprised they even tried; probably means they have (their custormers’) money to spend on speculative legal action?

[an Economist] knows the price of everything and the value of nothing

Obviously we’ll simply have to do away with this ‘elected’ nonsense. Just think of the cost savings and efficiencies!

Sounds like you are dreaming of a train

Except, there is no censorship; you can say whatever you want, you just can’t pay to promote it.

I mean, develop all that stuff still, as a side project, when you think something has the potential to be disruptive. Companies like Mozilla want to innovate, they should try. But don't force it down our throats, and don't get greedy thinking that just because you made something (even if it's really cool) that it's useful in the real world. Pocket is a perfect example - I don't have any problems finding stuff to read and do on the web, why are you spending time solving that problem for me? The real answer is "We want to aggregate data about your habbits and sell it to supplement our income because it's 2018 and your mind is profitable to harvest. C'mon, everyone's doing it!"
