America has a very twisted legal system where patent trolls and fake DMCAs are quite common. In this case, many have spread FUD that its illegal to hire freelancers outside of USA through online freelance sites. Naturally, these FUD campaigns are paid for by those who don't want to see US startups succeed.
What you're talking about won't come without a revolution. Yes, a freedom movement kinda revolution like Boston Tea Party of 1800s in America or the 1942 Quit India Movement against the British. Today's people are probably too feeble for something like that. They're afraid of even speaking against the system/establishment even when they know that some parts of that system might be rotten to the core.
But humans rarely use notepad these days. They use code editors like Coda or VSCode at the very least which have all kinds of advanced features. Surely, those can include support for ASCII separators?
If having the disease spread more widely among populations and more COVID deaths translates as "benefit" to you then yes. Tesla is concerned about only profits but what's profitable for the company may not be for people.
Elon Musk is behaving like an entitled and pampered child, did you see his irresponsible tweets a few days ago? How can someone in a position to impact millions of lives be so irresponsible?
Today's innovation leader is that dragon who started his life as a copycat. People used to make fun of "Made in China" once and today, they produce most innovative mobile devices that people use.
But if you are serious about it, you'll have to learn about what are the major issues your country is facing. Politics is always done on people's problems or issues, they could be social or economics related or both. Everyone have a different perspective too, labor has a different one than tories, democrats have a different one than republicans.
But at the end of the day, remember that power is all that matters for politicians, they never take ideologies or issues as seriously as we plebeians do! For example, in the elections of the Indian state of Maharashtra recently, a political party called Shiv-Sena joined hands with another one called NCP (their ideals are as wide apart as republicans and democrats, or tories and labor!).
So, as a plebeian or citizen, you should call for more transparency and betterment of systems. You should also ensure that you don't hand too much power to one single guy or party because you know, power corrupts!
>> I came home and suddenly I have google adsense adds for siriusxm.
Yeah, you can probably write it off as co-incidence unless this keeps repeating again and again. Check out your google or youtube search history, you may have searched about this term recently?
USA is good at creating systems but not improving them or adapting to newer tech.
Even their credit-card system is the worst in the world. In India (and even in Europe), they follow the VBV (Verified by Visa) and 3D Secure (MasterCard) standards which means a one-time password will be sent to user's mobile for verification before every card transaction. But in USA, they still follow the old system of simply using the card number and CVC (which is a static credential and easily lost) which results in a lot of credit card frauds.
"I have nothing to hide wizo geeko, here take this middle finger" is the answer we get when we try to inform people about privacy. Even large scale privacy breaches of sensitive information have had no impact on people's privacy awareness.
Sooner or later, drones will start plying across aerial routes too for transportation of goods. That will be perhaps both cheaper for ebay/amazon and also leave the roads free for people to walk. What do you think?
Physical laws work only in the physical realm. They break down the moment you get into the realm of "thoughts and feelings". There are other deeper realms too which advanced buddhist meditators have experienced and talk about.
Add an extension or user-script that turns all "www.reddit.com/" links on your web pages to "old.reddit.com/". The old reddit is the one used by most nerds and those who initially joined reddit for its spirit.
If you don't want to add the extension, you can also visit the preferences section and there is also an option called "Make new reddit experience the default" which you need to untick. Try it and see for yourself!
