They've badly miscalculated. As the original SCMP article points out, their ears to the ground in HK failed to pick up, or convey accurately, the intensity of the broad public sentiment against the extradition bill. That was especially

not entirely sure I follow the question. But if I'm reading you right, yes, a lot of DLC features and "quality of life" improvements originally started as mods, which are still available.

I'd argue it's the parents responsibility to educate themselves in this regard. Again, this isn't new news. If you can make a purchase on the device, your child can make that purchase too. Certainly, the OS can flag more warn

What were these parents thinking? This isn't a new issue. People have been reading stories like this in the news for a decade and still they hand their kid their iPad and say "go play over there while dad watches the news..."

Your dismissal of the protesters is so arrogant I'm struggling to think of a cogent response. I've seen the argument by mainlanders often that these protests "don't represent the opinion of the people". You know wha

Would millions of minority citizens interned in "re-education" camps count as "trifles" in your estimation? Because a lot of people internationally are not fans of that, and it's hardly a matter of pride or power st

If the government has a high-resolution camera and the latest tech maybe.. But a regular security camera would probably need at least eyes plus the nose/mouth to make a facial model afaik. If a person enters their home station wearing

Nothing too exciting. I've got an air purifier set up with homebridge and run a PiHole from it. I've also used it to practice setting up websites from scratch.

Right. So there's a risk to building the platform. If the company solely had to foot the bill for any cleanup, it could make a calculation of risk factoring in potential profits, the risk of a bad event and the cost of protecting again

As best as I can tell, two of your links talk about development of cement that could sequester CO2 (just like the article we're commenting on mentions too). The problem is that it's too expensive relative to regular cement. One of

I'd hazard to guess that Milankovitch cycles come up seldom because they're pretty widely recognized as not being a determining factor in the climate change we see. For an in-depth explanation of how the phenomenon relates to clim

iirc the Malaysian flight had in the cockpit a pilot that was hitching a ride, who figured out what was going on but too late. He knew about the MCAS. Had they vocally stated something about the AoA sensor early on, or had he caught a glimp

I think you're too quick to dismiss the importance of the disagree indicator, and doing so on a shaky basis. A significant amount of time was spent trying to figure out what the hell was happening. I think it's safe to assume that

Nobody told me your grandma's advice, I had to learn that the hard way. In a week I spoiled two omelets and wasted 8 eggs because the last one I cracked into the pan was rotten—twice! Now I always crack each egg into a small bowl befor

No, a majority of the big political parties are for oil exploration in this area, including (until very recently) the Labour party. The reason they have done a 180 on this and blocked the proposal for oil exploration there is because of pre

That has not been glossed over at all, people bring it up all the time, especially in reference to Lion Air. But it's not a unifying factor in the two cases. Ethiopian Airlines has a very good safety track record and I have not seen it

Very odd angle.. Seems to be written by someone with little on-the-ground experience. I can only speak from my experience in Hong Kong, where masks are worn when you've got a cold or flu to keep from infecting other people. Sure, ideal

There are plenty of devices that allow you the freedom to do whatever you want to the software. If that is a priority, get one of those. Apple's walled garden is in fact much more secure. (and they also benefit financially. But correla

Sure, but what's the use in a simplified model that spits out a result that's wrong? Take the assumption that the "underemployed" pay little in taxes while taking money from the welfare system. Sure, on the surface. But

The ideological problem is assuming that all these factors don't matter—that taxes and zoning are the only factors that matter. Some very fundamental examples of what's missing: Selective policing affects incarceration rates, neig
