Being from india, i have come to the opposite conclusion. Chinese protectionism (aided by the language barrier) has served chinese entrepreneurs quite well. They have their own google. Their own fb. Their own twitter. Basically all services

America believes in free trade as long as they are able to crush the competition like a bug even before it gets started off the ground. If you can have local producers that have 8% market share, then they might actually have a sliver of a

Firefox doesn't expose its browser history to other apps whereas both Chrome and the vanilla 'Internet' browser on Android does. This is one reason why i use Firefox on Android (another being the read-it-later feature, and op

As an outsider, It doeesn't look to me like a left vs right issue. >We, the left, strive for social liberalism, civil equality, freedom of speech, This seems to hint at the problem. You (the left) conflate freedom and equality, as t

Being from India, Let me say that it will take huge advancements in AI before self-driving cars could drive on the streets here! These advances would need to include :- -Being able to decide what can be considered a road and what cannot. -K

Both as a user and a developer, I would prefer a lenient, lazy approach over an over-zealous over-pedantic approach.

Wow. To add on top of the stigma of being gay in a homophobic culture, now they're going to be targeted as potential traitors/informants too. That's just... wow.

I don't know whether drilling down the message that "she is not gifted, she is just normal" is the right way to go. Maybe she will the get idea that she is not talented enough to try something so why bother. Alternatively you
