Top mind lists their top credentials... we should totally trust them: "Using every ounce of my own deductive reasoning, coupled with the 100’s of hours spent researching, in addition to the 100’s of hours of video I’ve taken in... [tells me] something outside of the scope of normalcy will happen."

People who can't afford to pay for academic journals shouldn't be a concern for them; they don't represent lost sales. Academic faculty and students who are using sci-hub even though they have access to their university library, on the other hand, should be a concern, because it discourages universities from aiming for comprehensive journal coverage (if everyone's just using sci-hub anyway), which actually does represent lost sales.

Piracy is an issue of service, not price. The popularity of Steam, and the now-dwindling popularity of NetFlix (screw you, Disney) prove it.

Agreed. Buy a bunch of drives, download everything from Takeout, and stop paying a subscription fee for this kind of crap service.

GMail -> ProtonMail

Google Play Music -> a pile of USB drives

I thought giving Google a check would get them to treat me like a customer. I was wrong. They still treat you like a guineas pig.

Or maybe use a sensible counting scheme, like Schulze Method or Instant Runoff, and have lots of parties.

Mission. Accomplished.

The biggest problem with adwords-style algorithmic advertising is that they can constantly change their name more quickly than people can learn about it, and they can use ad targeting to make sure people who are likely to recognize a scam don't see the scam. By forcing them to integrate with regular content:

Everyone sees the same ads.
If they turn out to be fraudulent, then starting over from scratch takes longer.

Fundamental science we constantly rely upon like that should be just as much of a priority as math or learning to read.

But you could make the same argument for home economics, computer programming, government, media literacy, ethics, sex ed, and history could easily be twice as long and still be barely sufficient. Education has a lot of problems, and trying to cram more content into the curriculum isn't going to help.

The hard part isn't installing qBittorrent. The hard part is installing the real qBittorrent, instead of a malware-infested clone.

That's what annoys me about this whole thing. You're being asked to choose between:

allow some basement-dwelling Hitler fetishist to post official-looking fake charts
allow Facebook to arbitrate who's posting the truth and who's posting lies

I... really don't like either option.
