The text reads: ".. in July 2016. Theoretical physicist Ali Kaya is one of them. He was arrested three months after the failed coup and held for more than a year before his trial took place. On 20 December ..." — that sounds lik

Soon more and more people will have access to Facebook & such stuff only, but not the real Internet? It'll get simpler, in the next presidential election in the US, for Trump and Putin to win again, via Facebook propaganda & ad

That's incorrect. There is no such censoring. At least as far as I've seen, and I live in Europe, in the country that has accepted the most refugees from Syria per person in the country (plus many migrants/refugees from other

Maybe go working for a software development organization that does something not-just-for-money-&-profit, but instead because of a vision? Then maybe you can focus on having an impact on other people's lives, rather than appeasing

Personally I would prefer Google, because there seems to be more chances to work at more different types of projects (Google does more different things?), and I don't feel good about Facebook a bit seemingly trying to create a closed F

I also think this added emphasis. I liked the way the author phrased it, i.e. "...everywhere illegal". To me, it gave the impression of focusing on the word "everywhere". (I'm not a native speaker.)

That's a good point. They could have an office with people on duty that remote-interviews everyone about all different kinds of jobs. Not saying it'd work well (no idea if it would), but I do think it'd work (a lot?) better t

Interesting to hear about this :-) I haven't been travelling that much — good to know what might happen, else I might have gotten quite nervous. + Thanks for the "immigration officers" clarification.

Why would the airport managers [edit: I mean immigration officers ] be able to find engineers who can devise good tests? Why would they be able to find the right people to verify the tests on? IMO companies have a hard time finding talente

I'm getting the impression that your comment implicitly endorses airport personnel [edit: immigration officers ] attempting to find out if people "fake" their occupation. I don't think that wasn't your intention, b

Interesting, didn't know beer is carcinogenic. Googled about that — apparently, although alcohol it's carcinogenic, drinking a little bit, reduces the risk for cancer (and heart attacks). Actually personally I didn't have in

Should [a lawmaker accepting a bribe / lobbying-money to remove restrictions meant to prevent people from dying] go to prison? In some cases, yes I would probably want that to happen. Imagine a company and a few lawmakers that via brib

Actually there is a misunderstanding. I didn't write about everything — I had in mind carcinogenic stuff, dangerous enough to make people sick and kill some (in a large population). So when you write "such a broad category&quot

A super interesting question. If a company attempts to abolish environmental restrictions, in order to, say, get to sell food with carcinogenic substances, and in that way make more money — then one viewpoint can be, that the company attemp

Seems you are arguing that it is with 100% certainty not true, because nothing has happened thus far. You don't know what will happen tomorrow though, so you cannot be that certain. Blatant negligence and human factors seems to me to b

I would think that the logic is that if there were no drones, the US army would drop no bombs at all. I wouldn't expect them to instead start carpet bombing cities in the middle east. Reasoning in that way, the drones result in civilia

> asking any government to take money from the people [...] and magically produce a net benefit to the people is [...] impossible But that happens already in the country where I live. People pay taxes, and via taxes, we are able to provi
