Google collects far more data than Microsoft does. They have zero problem processing it all. It’s not like it’s human sifting through it by hand.

It’s possible that MS only uses it for bug fixes. But it’s also known that MS shares data with the NSA and other government agencies. It’d be very unlikely that the NSA would say, “yes, we want your data, but not Visual Studio data. That’s

Most people don’t know whether they’re enforceable. Businesses will do anything they can to intimidate people and simple unenforcement doesn’t really do much.

I’d hope nobody thinks Facebook memes are in any way representative of real life. They’re made by people on political extremes. Almost nobody anywhere near the middle is going to air out their political beliefs to the world.

Are they supposed to make such an attempt? I’m not sure of what you’re implying here.

The claim is based on Wikileaks offering up information that portrays the US negatively, but little to nothing that does the same against Russia. From there, linked with the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory, claims of them supporting the Trum

Too useful to block is a concept China doesn’t acknowledge. Too troublesome to not block is how it operates.

改善 literally only means improvement and it’s not a cultural trait. It’s just a word, and to many, a buzzword. Japanese drivers are always glued to their phones. Almost every car has a built in TV and drivers watch it while driving and messa

I've been caught in Beijing traffic exactly once, and it's not something I'd ever want to deal with ever again. I think any person who can pay to avoid it absolutely will. Chinese traffic makes American traffic seem completel

The description is spot on and not condescending. There are many veterans out there who will tell anyone that they just don’t know what to do once they leave the forces. They need to have their entire weekly schedule planned out and someone

Not wrong. Just a difference in how fonts display them. Like how ‘a’ sometimes has a little hook above it and sometimes doesn’t.

Is your argument that companies have zero responsibility to pay their employees reasonably? What is even the purpose of a company? Make unicorn valuation through low wages, write a couple blog posts, then dip?

A slave owner gives an otherwise hungry man food and housing. That doesn't mean slavery is at all justifiable. Uber pays people who otherwise might not have a job at all. That doesn't mean paying them incredibly low wages is somet

A lot of people turn to jobs like Uber because they can't easily find a job. There are many people who desperately try for weeks or months to find employment. Companies like Uber love to prey on such people.

Massively disingenuous statement. The minke whales found closest to Japanese waters are least concern.[1] Japan also does controversially take some whales outside of its waters, though, and that's definitely a problem. Regardless, it&#

It could be that the world is doing it wrong by eating cows instead of whales. :) They're direct contributors to global warming and rainforests are being clear cut to make way for pastures. In contrast, the whales that Japan harvests,

Videos are an effective way of learning for many people. I personally hate them, but I also sometimes end up struggling with trying to figure out concepts on my own when it would've been 10x easier to look up a video and have someone m

There's a point where the evidence is so strong and from such geographically distinct and separated places that it's best to assume it's a global problem. Waiting any longer would be too long and reminds me of this comic: ht

The distance between Portland and Las Vegas is roughly the same as the distance between Atlanta and Boston. Not very close, and the ones sending homeless out of Las Vegas know that.
