Those other companies certainly do too, yes. Or at least that is what I am convinced of. I would say that what I wrote about GitHub should equally apply to these companies too, or any company for that matter. Not just US companies, but any

I think you may have either misunderstood me, or maybe have gotten the logic backwards. I'm not saying that US companies should not enforce US law. I think they should. That is: strictly within the US market. When they operate outside

I would go quite a step further than that. If this was not an unfortunate incident/mistake, then GitHub/Microsoft has become quite the active enforcer of US (legal) foreign policy. If they do that within the US market, that might

Let's not forget that this is a commercial company. Even if people will know it is a bot, these people's rational capacities will in most cased be diminished under such circumstances, at best. Many will be easily (emotionally) man

Personally, the images themselves do not particularly upset me. Maybe regretfully, but I have seen enough of the actual results of armed conflicts. Personally, I think the images of mass murders with piles of death (often naked) people from

Unless Google makes some deals with TikTok and IG, for the use of copyrighted content, I don't see why Google should not deserve to get into legal trouble for doing this. Please, don't get me wrong: I think US copyright law is cri

I don't know why your response got down voted. Maybe some rather specific people got their panties in a twist. Either way, what you said is something Bertrand Russel (certainly not best known for being a dumb man) once worded like this

It could be interesting for regulators to see if anyone "miraculously" managed to make a lot of money from/during this incident, because some people do have the resources to pull something like this off and make a profit from

While I'm only speculating, it could be quite possible that whoever may have wished to damage or destroy the AT&T building, seriously underestimated what these kind of buildings can take (essentially being disguised bunkers). This

On a fundamental level, how can the adoption of laws in bulk (like with such omnibus bills) ever be considered democratic and not just (at best) pretty much an open invitation for all kinds of corruptions? Isn't it essential for democ

Upfront: I'm pretty much a total noob regarding UX. However, I got a similar reaction to this being called "flow cards". This to me looks just like yet another "standardized" set of (typical) web interface/page

Also, it was always my understanding that a PDO only/just forbids selling a good under a protected name/title, from another origin. I never expected that to include/extend to the production process, let alone for personal use

While for now just speculation and without a doubt Machiavellian, it could be that this price difference ends up a significant factor for major economies in their choice for an expensive vaccine. I guess we will know, if/when/once

If only you could see the irony in your response. I guess that you have to be oblivious to it. But thank for providing a little piece of entertainment for me today.

Mark those words carefully, because you are likely going to regret them. To a degree it's understandable that those who are constantly bombarded by their own relentless propaganda fail to see that they are indeed the bad guys. But this

In case you didn't get that memo: the shit in the Ukraine didn't start with Russian involvement. It started with very active meddling, spending copious amounts of money, into the internal politics of the country. It should also be
