It's a cultural thing I believe. Some cultures have a different way of dealing with conflicts, and each one of those has its pros and cons. The US for example threatens adversaries before it acts. And sometimes it will not act even tho

Thanks I know, I said that I don't know the specifics and that others (lawyers) will have to decide on that.

I did not say "simple" negligence, that is determined by others who know the specifics of this case.

Wells Fargo has 265.000 employees. A CEO certainly has to make sure that there's internal oversight according to regulations and industry standards but it's not his job to personally go spying on people (try doing that on 265.000

Yahoo is even now more profitable and successful than Twitter ever was. I guess Yahoo is only perceived as such a failure because they could have been Google, but the numbers themselves do not look bad. They are making money for almost 2 de

Maybe Saudi Arabia is going to help out Jack Dorsey. After all they seem to align on freedom of speech issues. Additional bonus for Saudi Arabia: They could make it an even better ISIS recruitment tool than it already is.

I believe it's possible, they have already tried putting all kinds of apps on their devices that are meant to replace Google functionality. Some of it worked, some or even most of it didn't. One thing that we should keep in mind i

You can jailbreak it and install whatever you want. But Apples app store has rules to primarily make Apple profit and also create an ecosystem with certain standards that Apple believes users would appreciate. (and judging by the sales numb

Now read again what he wrote: > From what I understand, Apple doesn't force anyone. It's up to them to use it or not. They can always NOT deliver apps for iOS if they think 30% is too much. Is it not clear that he is talking ab

I don't get why people downvote this comment, it is factually correct. You are not entitled to do whatever you feel is right on the platform of someone else. I don't like giving Apple a cut but I recognise that it is their propert

Android also has the similar ToS regarding in app purchase, the only difference is that they do not currently enforce it. For an indie developer it doesn't sound like a big issue, but for big corporations uncertainty in the business mo

One more thing: Why is it that you seem incapable of discussing an issue without using insults in every other sentence? This doesn't reflect well on your character.

No, there's no need to write specific laws. If we follow the already existing laws strictly then not a single refugee would qualify for refugee status because they passed through plenty of countries in which their lives are not threate

There's a Note 7 and an iPhone 7 that isn't brick size, just as there's a Pixel XL that is brick sized. These options exist because many people do prefer larger smartphones. In fact this is the first year where there's h

Very few people would put the blame mainly on companies like Yahoo or Google as they are forced by their government to do this. But it still makes using their services dangerous to you and your company or the company you are working for. I

Most of your infrastructure in the US was built during a time when there was comparably little regulation if any at all. Does this mean that everything built back then is built bad? Why does the Empire State Building still stand?

Even if all of that were true, Assange is NOT a US citizen. He cannot go beyond a journalist's 1st Amendment right and he also cannot be a traitor to the US. He is an Australian that operates from outside the US by publishing (often se

Most of the cost in infrastructure is actually caused by too many regulations in countries such as the US. It is estimated that current regulations increase the costs by a factor of 6-7. When you look at Barcelona an how they build there it

Didn't know that, but you are right on this, I agree and therefore I upvote your comment. But I still hold my other points as valid.

I read the other day that Sweden had to cancel the Earth Hour event where they turn of lights for an hour because the last time they did in 2015 many gang rapes occurred which were committed by refugees. (even 12 year olds were raped) http
