More than that: the US gov't has declared their own tech giants a threat. Meanwhile, the Chinese gov't is supporting theirs as a potential goldmine on all fronts: national security, foreign policy, economic.

Because Big Tech siphons ad dollars from traditional media? I'm being glib, of course, but I can't help but wonder if that isn't one big reason.

I've only been to two of the restaurants mentioned in this article: Liverpool House and Au Pied du Cochon. They are two of my most favorite restaurants in the world, with the latter being my most favorite. I've never been able to

Never say never. A significant amount of the developing world has already embraced Huawei's network equipment. Beyond that, I think Huawei is the #3 mobile phone seller in Europe (behind Apple and Samsung) and #2 in Canada.

Ooh. I saw this in SK: https://www.techradar.com/news/lg-dualscreen-first-look-at-l... Honestly I don't know why it exists. You could just buy a case and then buy two phones.

Leave it at home. Don't think that Google is the only culprit here. As long as you're connected to public infrastructure there's a company that will be legally obligated to narc on you. Google might be just the latest additio

Fatberg will be the word of 2019. I first heard of it earlier this year about something in the UK and now it's everywhere.

How widely known is it that Indian cities are so polluted? I feel like I only hear about pollution in Chinese cities. I feel like the fact that this is dominated by Indian cities would come as a surprise to many.

I'm a pretty tech savvy guy, and looking at the instructions on setting up a PeerTube instance (which I guess is required to even watch videos let alone upload) already turned me off. I can't imagine a creator wanting to film a fe

Do you need to? Without enough gas in space, how likely is it for something even as powerful as a data center to overheat?

I'm really impressed that Apple has been able to convince a significant number of people that it genuinely cares about privacy.

Will they be penalized? Was Equifax ever penalized? The cost to them so far is some bad PR which will probably blow over. Especially for companies like Marriott and Equifax which have near monopolies (Marriott owns several smaller chains li

The echo chamber you mention doesn't simply exist here in the comments section, it's basically a narrative that's currently being pushed by the western media. I suspect at least a small part of it is motivated by guilt over E

I'm glad you do cool stuff day to day and not need this. But I would disagree that what you do is foundational, whereas string matching is absolutely foundational.

"Traditional" companies like Amazon, Apple and Oracle heavily punish employees for banding together, freely communicating and protesting like this, so they would never have the opportunity to protest controversial projects like th

You're not wrong. I wouldn't blame the US for wanting to defend against it. I just wouldn't bother with the "morality" card vs. a simple transactional justification.

The US has played Canada. They request this, Canada performs the arrest, Trump plays good cop ("I'll intervene if I have to"), and China can't retaliate against the US but can take it out on Canada. I'm sure Trump i

I get the vibe that Bloomberg (the news) is very supportive of the trade war in the sense that all the related headlines I've seen seem to emphasize the positives to America and the negatives to China. Too lazy to dig up references rig
