I heard an anecdote where the actual first movers on a new video feature was porn sites. They were smaller still, and probably had a more tolerant audience.

At lease some kind of mention of equality under the rule of law should be done and refuted.

Taking and repaying a loan not only helps in solving the problem that the loan was earmarked for, but it also demonstrates the responsibility of the recipient government. Making it a loan will also allow for larger sums to be spent. Japan&#

Should Twitter also freeze Trump parody accounts? Maybe saying parody on the profile makes it OK. Those anti-Semitic impostor accounts are probably still effective under that rule, since most people will not check a users profile.

Its called "学歴主義" in Japan, and talked about a lot here (565,000 hits on Google vs 9,000 for "Educationism") One of the most egregious example is that when scheduling for a job interview via Web form, when you graduated

Somewhat countering your >most kids would only have one such obsession Train nuts and computer nerds seem to have higher overlap. MIT's Tech Model Railroad Club being a prominent example.

I thought this e-mail was sent in a happy world where Damore was not fired, but no, paragraph 3: > Why did we fire you? This is a much higher bar than just pointing out how the points in the memo were wrong. Damore's memo was not a

Have you read the parent article? It is the same link that the parent article is using, at the 3rd to last paragraph with text "and a poll conducted at Google confirms" .

OK, OK. I noticed that the parent link has the same image, so fixed.

The timing of going to NLRB made it look like emergency maneuvers to me. If I were him, I would also have copied e-mails and forum posts like crazy, but I am wondering what the level of security at Google is.

Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers being fired in 2006 showed that there could be no rational discussion of this topic. Sad to see it unchanged in 2017. Doubly sad because if the anonymous survey linked in the post is true, 1/3 of G

Image of actual buttons used added to the original post. Keep in mind this has to be done while doing usual cashier things, so not much attention can be taken up by it.

Oh, OK. I edited in a link to the buttons the cashiers used, in the original post.

Demographics and sales data is a primary example of big data. The tweeted advertisement system also looks like it's only recording demographics. Not individual personal IDs.

In Japan at least, before automated facial recognition, cashiers recorded buyer demographics by hand. I would think other places do it too. Edit: Here is what the buttons look like. Gender and age. https://image.slidesharecdn.com

Whether Uber achieves redemption and become a highly profitable monopoly, or other players make it a low-margin red ocean, transportation seems to be set to be dominated by few players compared to today's diffuse private ownership. I

Contact your credit card company, and stop payment. If you tried unsubscribing multiple times in good faith, then that should be enough. Softbank of Japan tried pulling this fiasco years back, and the above tactic was used by subscribers.

As I said, I agree with stomping out fake-news. But its like death with thousand cuts. I think the users should drop the demand for art and historical stuff.
