If steam changed ownership and control, there is nothing stopping the new people from doing things similar to other big companies.
Many games are potentially a heart attack away from loss of access

Called it years ago


I guess this will break millions of search links built up over the years
I think you summed it up. Except there certainly will be prosecutions of a few mid level people; like before. I do remember the trials.
Some people feel like if one is hopeful enough, the positive energy will rub off nationally.
However the only way to reform a country is to be realistic


I got an angle on a better loan, but it that just tangential to the joke


Americans live five years longer, on average, in metro areas, compared to rural areas.
Democrats have more metro area districts


It will be stopped by an orange despot putting hippos into the reflection pool. They will die, then stocks go up again for a little while.
Because why not??! This is how the oil prices are manipulated. I don’t see why tech has to be different.
Proton is trying its best to be big tech; it looks different from other companies, but the way it’s developing hints there will not be much difference later besides good messaging, good public relations ( despite an awkward ceo) and a small increase of privacy.
This be a better option for many people , but it’s not that much better


An ancient asteroid made before long before our solar system ever existed… very cool


The thing about people like Trump, is that they always do worse than the most vile speculations about them.
I’m sure over his life he has been blackmailed several times, starting when he was a teenager.
Why stop now? Nothing in his ordinary business stopped now, and I assume the question is not who is currently trying, but which agencies and people are not.
If one cannot protect their database, then there is a lot of other issues going on besides how one authenticates.
Over the years , I’ve read about some security issues with different social logins, and a few of them have been serious. One never knows when the next vulnerability is.
At the end of the day, everything has a vulnerability, and the best way to mitigate against that is best practices, and keeping up with news. That, and a bit of luck.
I have created my own login systems multiple times, and probably violated over a hundred best practices. I don’t know what a best login system looks like, but I have enough experience to find flaws with all of them now. And I am not confident in anything I use. Even if I only use battle tested systems made by large groups of peoples
There are open source solutions to handle this effectively, which can be used in most projects; I would change the advice you gave to “ do not roll your own email verification, ever”


I’m waiting for Iran to fire missiles at Israel again when there are more civilian deaths in Lebanon today or tomorrow, or something like that.
I cannot imagine a scenario where the USA just lets Israel be bombarded ( because Israel will still probably attack Lebanon after that, then we have a repeat) and not do something that sets off new stuff also


From my understanding, busting monopolies, without changing the underlying structures, only creates Oligopolies which coordinate together.
It’s going to take far more than that


It cannot be taken down unless there are many changes in several countries; however it will be quite the achievement to reform or have revolution in only one or two countries in the next generation.
The only hope in all this is that technology changes, and what Google has control over will be obsolete in a decade or more.
Cold comfort.


I read that total costs for the pentagon, over the next few years to replace what they lost, is approaching 1 trillion dollars. I think some of those bases and equipment will not be rebuilt .
Coupled with the payout to Iran, the reimbursements to industries, and the personal costs Americans paid for raised prices. I’m a bit scared, can’t even guess.
And that assumes Israel behaves, otherwise this may just be round 1


That would explain the tone deaf article, most here are not its audience
It’s very common for a racist to want to hurt and kill others besides whom he is prejudiced.
This governor wants to harm and scare both blacks and democrats. Better if they are the same, but either is a target
