You seem young and naive.... For many, their iOS device (iPad or iPhone) is their primary computing device.... it is not like a PS4, which is mainly for games. Back in the 90's If Microsoft didn't get 'checked' with a t

If Tiktok was European/Japanese/Korean/Canadian this would not happen, as those countries are free democracies and work with a similar/common rule of law 1. China doesn’t play with the same rules, and it has been proven

A carbon tax is essentially a sales tax... for high carbon products. i.e. polluting cars, red meat, airplane travel, etc... etc... The problem with 'sales tax' is that are regressive. You are essentially taxing the millionaire an

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. If it looks like corruption... it probably is. This guy should be in jail, for attempted fraud and breach of fiduciary duty... Just because he

I hate to be rude but: No one cares. How is your very specific linux/firefox setup any relevant to this conversation.... ? It is so common/cliche for the first comment to be: it wont load, too slow, i hate the fonts, etc.. etc.

no, that's what they usually call young 'psychopaths' that act out, aka 'sociopaths'... there is a high correlation between the two, but no psychologist wants to label a kid as a sociopath... I had one, in class

1. We are born with the ability to gesture, and not something that is learned directly. So it is a in-born trait. You get the ability of speech, and gesturing tags along. (but most likely, evolutionary speaking, gesturing came first). 2. Ge

Your definition of mild is a 'relativisation' of the problem. Since you mentioned H1N1, Covid has already surpassed its death rate in just just 3.5 months and it is on its way to cause 1.5 - 2 mil or more deaths world wide just f

Is this administration very incompetent, or very sadistic? If they rescinded the order, means they: 1) Didn't think through the consequences, or the legality of the order. 2) They just wanted to crate some chaos, and mess up with the f

They gave a good summary, and links to the video, which is really interesting. What do you want more? Not everyone has 1hr to spend to watch the whole thing.

This is so wrong, it is comical. You have a lot less leverage, especially if you want/are in the process of getting a green card. As a former H1B holder (and currently on a Green Card), being on a H-1B has prevented me: 1. Not acceptin
