Denigrating the US whenever you can works very well on reddit and instantly makes your comment a star. I think they hoped it would work here too.

The kind of people who believe these conspiracy theories about Facebook are not the kind of people who believe in scientific methodology. Fuzzy bigfoot syndrome and all.

There are still articles like this. Time and Newsweek regularly have 10+ page articles that go in depth. I don't think much has changed. You might just be looking at different kinds of sources now.

The new Google Home Mini is smaller than this device. They started later than Amazon but they've made a huge amount of progress in a year and aren't really that far behind anymore. In fact in some areas Amazon is playing catchup (

It'll be interesting to see how this compares with the Google Home Mini ( http://www.droid-life.com/2017/09/19/google-home-mini-exclus... ). For me the ideal size would be invisible or something I can tape

>This fight started with Google This is simply incorrect. You put out some facts about licensing Google apps but you apply this completely subjective line in front of it which makes it sound like Google actively did something. These lice

Google didn't refuse to let Amazon use their apps. Tons of companies use their apps. There's a blanket license agreement that everyone signs. Every phone you buy has signed this agreement. Amazon simply refused to signed it and de

I'm certainly not saying that there aren't actual Chinese products that are selling. It's just not the norm. DJI is a great company but not indicative of the general ecosystem of China.

Chinese engineers didn't make the hoverboard. If anything the hoverboard example disproves your example as they just copied the hoverboard from foreign companies. I know what you're point seems to be even though you aren't co

One of the big reasons for Uber's success is that cab companies and city regulators don't want there to be a CabOS. They are actively against integrating technology into their systems and, while some of them have been forced to in

"the counterpoint being that otherwise no one would compose music is disproven by hundreds of years of wonderful music still performed today." Do you mean the music that was created by musicians paid by the aristocracy for their w

Unless you're flying overseas having in-flight meals doesn't really make sense. There are far more food options in both airports you will be in and it will be a lot more comfortable. In-flight food should be reserved for when it&#

Europe is a big place with wildly different educational standards. Just like the US. If you are wanting to move due to the schools then you should be aware that many places in the US have better schools than most places in Europe. It's

The fact that they keep having to fork the currency to fix core problems goes right to the heart of my comment. There's no contradiction there.

I can easily exchange my life savings for Yuan and go live in China. I can't do that in Bitcoin. Edit: Since I was downvoted I realized my comment wasn't clear. When I said you can't do "that" with Bitcoin I meant t

When you refer to people in your comment it mostly likely means the Bitcoin enthusiasts and not a normal person looking at it from the perspective that it's a currency. It's volatile and has seemingly no leadership with realistic

That's not how government debt works. There is no ceiling on the amount of debt you can have except in extreme cases like 2-3x debt to GDP ratio which China is nowhere near. Government debt is really just a record keeping system for fu

I think it's worth remembering that Bitcoin is not a real currency or commodity yet and has little real value. The only value number we can put on it is the number that the hardcore loyalist place on it. If the only people dealing with

I know Bitcoin is still in development but if things like this keep happening then it will never make it as a legitimate source of money. It's reputation is already in the dumps and these splits just make it worse and worse.

Yeah because Search is an actual hard problem and putting up a proxy like DDG is not. DDG will never have any real value beyond that.

What I said is technically true. You are simply talking about conspiracy theories and politics. TV/Movie producers have a legitimate reason to want to protect their media. The lower the bar is for viewing the content they spend lots of

I don't think that's true. EME exists -because- we started getting rid of Flash, Java, Silverlight etc due to their security issues. There needed to be something to replace those proprietary plugins or else some of the largest web
