He means relativistic speeds which is optimistically .01c making the trip take 300k years. He doesnt actually mean violating physical laws.

Why doesnt china have the freedom to choose what commerce they want to engage in? If the US didnt want the chinese selling HP servers to Iran, they should not have sold them to China. If China jailed Tim Cook for selling iPhones to Taiwan that were intended for export to Europe, the US would rightly flip out.

Using firefox doesn't address the fundamental problems of current internet business models and permissive web standards.

Chrome doesn't lock you in to google services. It shapes web standards to advance google's interests and protect it from standards that would interfere with its revenue stream. As Firefox must implement the Chrome spec, it's just along for the ride.

GDPR and CCPA are just the beginning. Regulation will absolutely play a role in the fight for internet privacy. I sympathize with the libertarian instinct, but the only way to acheive what you want is to raise awareness of the problem and build a new consensus of how things should work. Once you've done that there's not much difference between everyone agreeing to use duck duck go and agreeing to laws that make Google's tracking impossible.

The ad blocking arms race is not one a few hackers will win against a multi-trillion dollar industry. The easiest way to organize people to fight back is through the democratic process, but it is still a ton of work.

The left and right need new parties uncorrupted by business, imperialist and foreign interests.

Cadence's point is very valid. Mozilla gets funding by charging search engines to be the default in Firefox and that isn't changing anytime soon.

I wish people didn't instinctively downvote when someone is wrong on a technicality, but this is a site filled with nerds after all lol

EDIT: i guess he isnt even technically wrong.

I think thepiratesailor's point is that mozilla ISNT doing it.

This means the death rate is probably not being vastly underestimated. That hypothesis would require >80% of cases to be symptomless

That's my point. Thanks, I didn't know dole meant a small part of benefits. I thought it just meant any kind of welfare.

This is an american perspective. In the UK, people are proud to be "on the dole" and very few support restricting it.

EDIT: Of course brits will still look for work. My point is that Ive seen brits in talk shows audiences talk about taking public assistence without thinking of themselves as "bad people" the way American conservatives would. The desire to eliminate all public assistance is absent in Europe. Don't mean to offend brits, I think you guys have the right attitude here. Take assistance if you need it and dont needlessly refuse to help others.

How?

Reducing travel from Mexico has been a popular position in the Us for decades.
