Isn't that better? For one, they're connected to peers they have physically met. Additionally, they won't be exposed to strangers or ads that warp their world view.
I still believe that the government should ban unsolicited algorithmic content (so search engines are exempted), but this is a second best option.
I think the victims were helped quite a bit by the runup in crypto assets. So even though some was lost, the run up in what was left ended up being quite a bit.
Yeah that happened with MtGox too. I don't think that aspect should be factored in as a defence. It should be more down to the degree of risk that people were exposed to at the time the offence occurred.
Alt=old in German, but Alta=high in Spanish. And vista is pretty much a Spanish word. A high observation point is a pretty good metaphor for a search engine.
I think the point is that they weren't "forgotten" but deliberately repackaged. And this action is going on today. Scroll down to the dead posts. There's one that gives a very factual account of how some suffragettes joined up with the Fascist movement in the 1930s. They were probably rooting for Hitler. Yet, someone quickly down voted that factoid out of the main stream.
The most interesting argument I've heard is that in space there are no NIMBYs to protest or local (or state) politicians to extract donations. Yes, there aren't many slots for geostationary orbits, but in most other cases there's plenty of room.
Even if you limit yourself to the 48 states, it's hard to believe there's 0 counties happy to take you. Just about anywhere terrestrial is cheaper to transport to than riding a giant bottle of explosives at $1500/kg. Politicians are generally pretty cheap actually, and so far they've been willing to make some pretty generous tax concessions to attract data centers.
You're right that some parts of life on earth are cheaper. There are plenty of counties, but are they near the net backbone? Do they have power to spare?
And remember that the semi trucks still have bottles of explosives that may not be as big as a rocket, but are still far from safe.
I don't know what happened here, but if someone told me that a manager fired all of the dev team and replaced them with cheaper overseas replacements, I wouldn't be surprised.
Years ago a small telco I worked for bought an equipment from rather reputable manufacturer at some point. A year or so later we discovered a grave bug in the software. There was a month or so silence from manufacturer and they just bought all equipment back. We found out later that entire team working on this equipment was fired during restructuring by accident (!) and there wasn't any knowledge about this equipment left in the company.
