A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm afraid about every person who has power, not only the dumb ones. Either smart people with bad intentions or dumb people with power. The chance that a powerful person is smart and has good intentions is rare.

Good intentions alone don't guarantee good outcomes. I suggest not giving any single person or entity too much power, no matter who they are.

How about having seven fossils in robes judging a nation of millions?

You see real democracy is when you subvert the will of the people and call it "checks and balances".
