No, it hasn't been a backslide, it has been always like this. While media in the west will pick certain stories, you can find such events all across the political spectrum. A much lauded and young people supported newcomer party used t

Agreed but this is not unique to the current federal government at all. Whoever is in power at the state or national level has used this power for their benefit. Case in point, office of a prominent Indian actor was broken by a state govern

Sadly this battle is lost. I understand affirmative action and the need to do it if there has been some systematic bias preventing outcomes but this has become such a touchy topic that how it is done is not debatable lest you be seen sexist

Facebook has two social media applications, one chat product, Oculus etc. They are more diversified than Twitter. Also, the simple reason is profit. Unlike Twitter, FB makes very high profits on 25x revenue of Twitter

US has a lot of benefits from it but the impact on EU are EU's responsibility as well. Countries like Germany didn't take the threat seriously and kept them reliant on Russian hydrocarbons. They didn't spent money on their mi

Yeah, but the idea is to try to give buyers a leg up from investors. It is another story that most investors have way more money to be outbid this way.

I don't think these drive up prices higher. LISA specifically mentions that it has to be your first house anywhere in the world, so it is targeted at home ownership. People speculating shouldn't be able to take advantage of this.

Wasn't the Labour in power in 2008? Maybe it fell off the priority for conservatives.

Rather than attacking him, you are free to discuss on how it would be hard to attribute or reach to a source. Just because you might not know what techniques the researchers here used to reach to that conclusion, doesn't mean they woul

This was an extremely stupid move of it. Either you allow hate speech or you don't, there is no between. This is why censorship is a slippery slope. I would really like to understand what thought went in introducing this. This just mak

Well, to be fair if you remove restrictions then it is the Western version of events that will rules as they have the established platforms and money to spread info. To see their power look at the French poll of who won them the World War.

Thanks, I wish we didn't need to do this and could use Reddit and Twitter like they used to exist a decade back.

Those cancerous Twitter login modals are not letting me read the whole thread but I don't agree that China has much to lose here. They get a far weaker Russia much more dependent on them now economically. Russia is rich in fossil fuels

Are we sure it is CCP IP address. CGTN might have established offices outside PRC and those might be the one publishing these. Also, banning CGTN is not the way, just like banning RT wasn't. I can understand banning demonstrably false

Not related to storage space, don't know if it is app developers or the Android permission system but I hope the storage permission gets fixed in Pixel. If I try to download a file, an app shouldn't need to get media permission. A

I tried the GBP-EUR pair and saw almost the same rates 1.199 on Revolut and 1.1993 on their site. I guess, their service is cheaper if you are converting hundreds of thousands of dollars and more and can wait, but this would be few normal p

Congratulations to the founding team on launching this but I have the same question. Revolut transfers are instant and have no forex fees if you are on their paid plans which include other features as well. If you transfer up to 1000 GBP, i

I wonder what stops AMD, Intel in trying this, except loss of modularity. It is not like the architecture will change by bringing it into the die. As far as I remember, CPU is the only thing that does RAM access even in x86
