You are witnessing the brand lifecycle. Facebook, Amazon, and Google are no longer the new underdogs and are old enough to be in the disenfranchisement trough. They will eventually stabilize like Apple and Microsoft.

Overall the US has double the Covid infection rate and double the Covid death rate of Europe. Cherry picking doesn't matter because you could do the same with certain states.

More like going after the shop owner who intentionally turns a blind eye to ongoing illegal activity on their property.

News orgs do that to protect the anonymity of sources. In this case, NY Post threw their source to the wolves when they couldn't verify any of the information, so this story is not congruent with "sources say".

It's not demonstrably proven, despite being easy to do so. NY Post doxxed their own source when put under scrutiny, who went on to do an interview yesterday. What John Paul Mac Isaac is saying isn't adding up. https://

Yes, they were. The PDFs with the emails were created long after the laptop was allegedly dropped off and abandoned, and the tech store owner claims they only copied the hard drive. This is on top of obvious formatting errors and the remo

Eh, I don't think it's going to have the impact you think it will. The major criticism for S230 is that social media companies are rampant with fake news, and not doing enough to combat misinformation. If anything, it gives FB

Not really, given that the genetic strains are pretty well tracked and regionally locked. It's more likely that the reinfections came from different immune responses, where the first infection was beat with a cytotoxic T-cell response

Only because the FCC recently loosened caller ID spoofing restrictions. It used to be possible.

>Apple doesn't need your data, plus, they have a real and honest commitment to privacy. Since you opened that door: Apple shares personal user data with the Chinese government. Call it what you will, but it's not a 'real

EPI is a Washington think tank funded by American labor unions. I wouldn't take anything they publish about foreign labor seriously, especially how they cherry pick stats on that report.

Yes you can. All you need is for the company to have a foreign branch somewhere outside the U.S. That's it.

H1B visa holders already require being paid more than the prevailing wage for the same SOC job in the same area. And no, the consultant chop shops haven't been an issue for at least four years now since USCIS started cracking down on t

In which comment did I say millions of people upsell to subscription? A 2 yr product lifecycle would be a $240 CLV meaning you just need 12% conversion rate to break even, which you don't even care about in growth mode. $30 CPA is mor

VIEs are publicly trade (Bytedance is not) and that blogpost you linked is a decade old.
