Correct, I wrote that accidentally, I erased that real fast, like 1 minute later, but for some reason, people can still see it, I guess. It was not a Ninja edit, just a mistake that I corrected a minute later but I don't know, maybe th

Yeah, my bad. But I can't delete the comment for some reason, not sure why I can't even if it is flagged. You think it'd be ok to delete a comment that doesn't follow the rules. Oh well, I tried.

I understood this, but that's not the issue. The issue is that the USA does not have direct ability to order those companies to surrender their data. It's a different thing completely.

That's a good one that I didn't think of. Good job.

Wow. This entire thread seems to be written by Chinese agents, looking to, on the surface, minimize the threat against the West by China. Clearly TikTok can be a national security issue. All these comments do not address this at all, and se

I've thought this was stupid from the start. Also, for the most part, it does not really apply to highly-paid workers. Is a worker at Google getting paid $350,000 per year, a brain surgeon paid $1,000,000 per year going to "quiet

This is a bizarre article to me. I always look at it as if it is my job to disagree and let anyone know about it who needs to know. In a polite and diplomaitic way, the same as any other conversation. Not voicing one's thoughts can hav

Oh, I have. I love fountain pens and writing with them a lot. But those things get ink everywhere, I've never had it when they didn't, so I haven't had one in a while. But I love fountain pens, I've had many of them.

It's clickbait if the headline implies that the person pays 100% of the cost. The title should read, in your way of saying it, "Medical Bills Are $3500, but Most Pay $500 and Insurance Covers the Rest for 85% of Women."

meh. We all are born, eat, sleep, shit, fuck, then we die. Everything else is just variations on that theme. You like Italian food, and this person likes Amish food, well whoop-de-doop. People make a bigger deal out of Italian food or Amish

All we need to do is invent replicators like they have on Star Trek and we're home free. Just jigger atoms around and we're gold. Plus the transporter where we can just instantly transport anywhere we want to go in the world insta

I've typed almost all of my life. And, of course, you start out with block letters in 1st grade. I thought it was so cool to learn cursive. It was like the first step towards belonging to the adult world. And like most people, I do mos

That's awesome. I always wish that I was able to do construction/trades stuff. The few times I've tried, even on the easiest of easy stuff, it's a disaster. Know one's strengths, know one's weaknesses. One has

I don't really think that it is too difficult. It's like that saying that is around - if you can't explain something simply, then you really don't know the topic well. As Einstein explained relativity to the general publ

Should VC and other businesses rate those who go to the lowest cost public universities highest? From a business perspective, who is more intelligent, the person who pays $350,000 to get a degree from Harvard or Colombia (regardless of if t

So my last response here, with all due respect, is: >You want to frame mockery of and complaints about men as hate speech. It may be many things, but it's not hate speech. The United Nations defines it as: "In common language,

I'm not trying to be contradictory but my point is something different.

I always notice that "hate speech" is how people want it defined. For example, I personally think "toxic masculinity," "mansplaining," "patriarchy," showing men as stupid foolish and incapable in mov

Four years ago I worked at a company in the Fortune 500 that still used DOS for their main system. As you say, the switching cost is way too high and dangerous. They moved billions and billions of dollars daily through a highly complex stru
