But what exactly is "white nationalist content"? If I say something positive about Trump, will it already get me banned? What if I disagree with something a PoC says? Of course FB as a private company is entitled to censor whateve

Unfortunately, there is also a lot of uncertainty in buying a "used" home. There can also be issues the seller doesn't tell you about.

I know a lot of people who can't use a computer or a smartphone, which is also very sad. They never learned to explore and experiment with the user interface. If you explain something to them, they write down every step. When the next

How do you measure the value of stacking bricks, then?

The incentives should be "landing a government contract", though? So if government makes "landing a contract" dependent on rehabilitation rates, it could work?

What will earn him more money in later life, though - stacking bricks, or using a computer? Why can't you do both? Did they also study how much you learn about using a computer by stacking bricks? What if they found that kids who only

What a silly spin. Do they even provide any evidence that "the rich" use less screens? There were some reports about some specific rich people not giving their kids phones (I think mainly Zuckerberg). But "the rich"? And

So they will create a transgender bathroom for you, but before you enter it you have to wonder if society will accept your choice? I think that is exactly not how it is supposed to work.

If hiring was the issue, there would have to be a pool of IT women who can't find a job. I don't think such a pool exists.

There are many other factors that can come into play. It is simply incorrect to draw the conclusions you do. One example is earning prospects, which might matter more for men than for women. Personally, I was torn between studying maths and

Maybe tech companies shouldn't let journalists tell them how to run their companies.

Then that's one thing to look at for reasons. And maybe deals can be struck.

It is fine if entities try to increase profits. Usually competition is the way to insure fair prices. The collusion then might be to not allow competition. In the case of pharmacy, for example, I would guess there are many regulations that

Why exactly, though? If other companies can satisfy the needs of the state, why not prisons? You wouldn't mandate that governments should build their own cars, for example?

Arguably there is only one customer - the government. So maybe it is impossible in this case to create a free market.

Unless you compare that to the number of people who became rehabilitated, that is just anecdotal evidence, though. I've heard it a lot, too. But "a lot" means still less than 100 times. There are millions of prisoners. Not sa

Why don't they just buy it in Germany, then? Shipping can't be 80$? In fact I just checked, DHL ships a parcel of 2kg from Germany to the USA for 18$, A 5kg parcel is 42$.

Editing of posts seems to be broken. Sorry for the typos. Also had added some more thoughts on liability for neglience and signing NDAs which are now lost, but I don't want to try again.

I started by tagging along with a friend, who recommended me for a project he was already working for. It was easier to find the courage that way. The next time somebody hired my, I simply said I'd prefer to work on a freelance basis.

Is there a service where you can test the performance of your web site from within China? Edit: Google knows https://geekflare.com/test-website-load-time-from-china/

Only after a certain score, I think. Also, not the point of policies, or is it?

What happened to the "no politics" policy of HN?

It seems the NoDeal-petition is much older. It ends in April, and the Remain-petition ends in August. According to the web site, petitions run for 6 months. So it certainly isn't a counter-petition. They were started with different con

Wouldn't it be meaningless, anyway, unless you compare it to the number of people who are opposed to the petition?
