Maduro just responded to a journalist from the Washington Post that they will not be able to show the local vote tallies now because, at this moment, the National Electoral Council is in “a cyber battle never seen before.”

You can't really learn anything just consuming content, you have to put the work. This works for keeping up with news and trends tough.

According to the theory of the author, I've found that Twitter can be used like an actual social network and I do use it like this with a group of friends. It is kind of a cluster and anyone can join only by answering our tweets and hanging out.

Social media, as search engines and maybe other handful of things, became basic social infrastructure such as roads, goverments will have to pay for the servers where these "open protcols" run and they should be moderated from The Constitution itself.

> In short, it would push the power and decision making out to the ends of the network, rather than keeping it centralized among a small group of very powerful companies.
This only creates that same echo chamber effect we are trying to avoid.

Are these US only numbers? 600M sounds like very very few doses given worldwide population and even western world population.

I'd like to understand how these guys make money, I've used the free version of IntelliJ for years and never required anymore than this! Does people actually buy licenses ?

Some people are calling Jetbrains a startup. Hell no, this is just a normal company which builds great products. Making me realize that the shortest definition of startup is VC-backed-product or even worse, VC-backed-potential-product.
Re:Colombia is considering legalizing its cocaine industry
on Thursday December 03, 2020 @04:40PM (#25295500)
Sooner or later all analyses for many problems here in Colombia (e.g. violence, poverty, education, corruption et al) get to the conclusion that drug trafficking influences if it's not the root cause for all of them. If you as the government take the monopoly of drugs then drug trafficking is over and with it many other problems.
The key is, taking that monopoly has side-effects for us like being put on US blacklists which will badly affect our economy in other ways.
We've been talking about this for a long time and have concluded that legalization in the states is the only way [1].

Re:One company's plan to build a search engine Google can't beat

Search engines are such a big thing they should be open sourced and distributed over the community. It's like the most basic infrastructure the internet needs to work and we are outsourcing it.
