Yeah, it took me a while to understand this behavior. However, it seems you can make a face mask to protect against CV-19 using toilet paper. Please do your research, I found too many links. In the situation you don't have a proper mask, a plastic mask, with holes, to keep toilet paper on your face may safe your life these days.

Low cheap food chain in general is sustained by cheap labor worldwide. Now that borders are closed the chain is in part disrupted, so it doesn't work.

Come back to the ground. It is easier if you take some steps to evolve. Find a job in a bar, spa, shop, cleaning, or so. Those jobs do not require a CV or ref letter. Then, you may get enough money to pay a room or basement. Once you are self sufficient, work hard to get further in you plan.

While I find your answer very helpful. Now I first search with Qliqz and DDG coding related stuff! It is almost impossible nowadays to find an accurate technical result out of so many adds with Google.

Will you ever apology for your mistakes?

I am so sorry to share my opinion with such smart people:

I do use DDG a lot, but I still have to resort to GG almost 50% of my search when I don't get meaningful results. So I think there is still a lot of work to do before someone can really fully migrate to DDG. My 50c.

Of course, there is nothing new in on the road pirating trucks. However, the question is what an autonomous truck will do?

I support your statement 100%. Lets analyze a simple problem. What happen if you throw a mannequin in front of a truck? If it stop then there is a very easy way to pirate them. Human are always needed in very complex decision making circumstances.

Exactly my point. I just was been sarcastic (sorry). We believe they will do the best for us. But all this things happen all the time under the table. What I meant is that we don't like this things happening but we wont probably do much to change it.

Maybe they are also contributing to the budget for:

So it is a political trade-off, but it looks horrible and unacceptable to us.

My 5c here. Maybe they just don't have much to do, so they need to justify their salaries, and they need to have some presence in the WWW to let us know that they are out there.

I want to believe but if you do a little search you will see this kind of "battery breakthrough" once a month.

Here "another way to read this: to theorize about these hypothetical scenarios and how to escape", then open business for rich people that will always feel fear from the poor people. Even if it is just poor people. Then you will make money!!!

Well, it seems if a MSR will be built, it will be in China

I totally agree that predatory publishers are a huge part of the problem:

And now predatory conferences:

However, the storm actually started with the failure of reproducible of research in high impact journals:

This is not an chicken-egg problem, it is an ethic problem, motivated by remuneration and funding.

This is a well known problem of scientific publications now-a-days:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis

Papers have become a target for success, so scientist need publications for better status and remuneration:

A new scientific "mafia" is in place around the world:

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/608266/the-truth-about-ch... https://retractionwatch.com/2017/08/10/paid-publish-not-just...

So papers have become a good business, no the way to disseminate outstanding research results.

OMG, now I see why we are so dependent even for old technology, and I now understand the great success of Arduino.

Well they have a lot of things to care of before to release the next CPU

In particular security issues related to the IME:

Maybe, it is time to create an OpenGPS? Please, let me know if you know how to build one using RPi or something similar.

I may seem that this is a trivial conclusion for many of us that take sometime to understand technology. However, this is actually a well tuned selling strategy that get most of the people around the world hooked-up to several paid services with money or they private information:

https://hbr.org/2008/04/the-four-things-a-service-business-m...

This is the main reason why large free service companies have products to sell, and then people who understand do not usually like.

I believe they are selling the metadata which is a very hard to define information about all machine processed information of every human that use their systems. Now-a-days it is a mine for several large scale social objectives, and so very precious. The way and form they sell it may differ depending of the end-front application. Nevertheless, interesting how they did figure out that people information is a mine of money. So we are their product :)
