What’s preventing that from working now? If it’s indeterminate latency, then yeah, absolutely. Theoretically this will give you the ability to have a very deterministic loop around the accelerometer data, but 3d printers don’t move all that fast to begin with so having unbounded latency might not matter. The determinism we’re talking about here is on the order of tens of microseconds or less.

Which is a fine stance in the large, but not applicable to the current story. Assisting someone in leaking classified information being illegal is not some moral injustice.

I'm really not sure what your argument is. Sometimes journalists and whistleblowers have to break the law? Sure. However, they are still breaking the law. Certainly, an adult who is breaking the law should know that they are subject to consequences and need to suck it up and live with those consequences. Rosa Parks had her day in court and was convicted of a crime. She accepted that she broke the law, regardless of how unjust it was, and did the time. That was enough to affect change.

If Assange, or anyone else, insists on breaking the law to be able to publish information, then they need to accept that they will be held accountable. Chelsea Manning served her time. Assange finally had his day in court. Snowden, hopefully, will get his day in court as well.

That’s a pretty significant “if”. This was a gun show in Phoenix 5+ years ago. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say it’s unlikely they were openly violating the law at such a large event.

Yes, it's literally a straw man. OP constructed an argument (Microsoft is a monopoly) that was not present in any comments nor the article, and then attacked that.

No, that's fine. I assumed that's what they meant, I'm just completely unfamiliar with Nix so I wanted to be sure. Thanks for the info.

Does it? I've never had one. I have a Kodi box and a Chromecast. I'll be sure to avoid the fire brand, then.

By all means. But "smart" TVs come at a discount because they believe they'll have opportunities to make revenue off of those features. However, if you prevent the thing from connecting to the Internet then you get the best of both worlds. Cheaper and ad free.

Look, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here in assuming you're asking that question honestly and not trying to start a debate about whether or not this dishonest nature of the comment constitutes a lie.

So why was she protesting the building of a wind farm a few weeks ago?

I find it funny how her protesting something hugely beneficial was met with general silence.

The comment is set up to try and make Greta appear hypocritical. She's supposed to be an environmentalist and she's protesting wind farms? The comment goes on to extrapolate that to the entire environmentalist community being hypocrites because the protest "was met with general silence".

What it leaves out is the context of the protest, which had absolutely nothing to do with the windmill, but rather the development of land use by peoples who don't have the political power to prevent it.

It's akin to you protesting a children's hospital being put in your backyard and then being accused of hating sick children.

In other comments, OP says "I work in the industry and windmills aren't a problem", blah, blah, blah. This purposely misses the point that the problem is development of these people's land against their will, whether it be a windmill or a Walmart. You can be an environmentalist who is pro windfarm and still have an issue with exploiting people, even if that exploitation is to put up wind farms.

Both open and closed source software share this problem, so this doesn't really answer the question.
