yeah, this makes sense, especially all the power they've consolidated, hope they unionize already.

gross

that's the thing that people don't generally bring up with apple: they area a luxury company, they price things in the same way any other luxury good company does in the vein of supreme or gucci or whatever. it's all about making the product exclusive, or at least feel exclusive, while making the design something that can be considered fashion. the fact they happen to put computers in their fancy cases is hardly the point to the archetypal consumer.

at this point being surprised would be like touching exposed wires on a rainy day after escaping from an electric chair execution.

as it should be in a civilian society.

This also goes for global warming etc. The military is a really interesting institution when it comes to politics in the US, and undoubtedly anywhere really.

This is exactly how I think about the police issue in the US. If someone has more power, as in, they are allowed to carry guns and arrest people if they need to, then those people also cannot expect it to be a "normal" job where they matter more than who they are working with (the public).

The standards of conduct need to be draconially high, because a police officer has the power to ruin a person's life.

i recently started playing doom online with doomseeker. i was pretty disappointed that it was mostly modded to hell and back and all the good deathmatch servers were in russia with 200+ ping. still fun, you just can't really aim right. . .

blogs haven't really existed for hundreds of years my dude.

but that isn't really true. google gets ~80% of the searches on the web. that means that if someone who isn't conforming to google's frankly arbitrary ranking system is being censored, to use strong language.

Having just come out of a datastructures class, this is the view that seems the most useful to me. ADTs in general seem to be very well expressed with classes, and I think it is exactly for the reason you mentioned: they are just systems that need to be able to define the ways in which a user is allowed to interact with the data.

I totally agree with you about the awesomeness of the software manuals from the time. The whole aesthetic is so much warmer then it is now.

on the other hand, there is something to be said for the decision to interpret the image in a way that makes it relevant to our times.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. I find it interesting that governments don't see Google as direct competitor for power at this point.

It's also fairly weird that such data gathering corps are considered individuals in the same way one person with a camera is.
