Indeed, the article is most certainly pro Tether/Bitfinex and handwaves the accusation of doubt from Bitfinex'ed (with the old "yeah but other people do it on other platforms (that are a little different...) so it's all

Interesting that the Alcohol lobby is only mentioned once and the big industry players not mentioned. Surely their actions were fundamental in orchestrating the pushback? Considering the emergence of 'PR' during the same period,

Not sure why you've been down voted, but it's true. We are either a) no longer close to the journalism sources to determine their trustworthiness or b) we were being fed the narrative through print and were ignorant to the manipul

Are you hoping people don't read the article you linked or do you not understand the approach Mozilla used? The data is not used to identify the user by building a profile and the source IP is removed on collection. Now of course there

It's a paid premium service, the free version will still be there. People need to also stop thinking free internet services are genuinely free. Pay for things that provide value and if it's free, ask what value is in it for the p

I'm pretty sure there's a wide range of reporting that different people call 'reputable,' so who is the authority on reputable? Is it the centrist? Google rewards whichever ad purchaser pays them.

Seems so. I also find it interesting that people have sudden moral realisations working in industries designed not to be morally respectful. Ad industry is about convincing people to buy things they don't want using any trick availab

And ensure you have a massive data plan to go with it... I can imagine Pokemon Go like scenarios of people standing around 5G radios playing Stadia... Except for much less people.

I am surprised by comments that seem to give Google the benefit of the doubt or do not show concern just because of how other services operate. It is up to Google to demonstrate they are capable of keeping an 'innovative' service

Exactly, it encourages curiosity and conversation. Drawing is really interesting in how directly and obviously it makes people feel like a amateur when otherwise experienced and knowledgeable in many areas, and how people generally expect t

Not really, that's the point of the meme: you just follow explicit steps and then have to make a logical leap in understanding the actual subject. It's a fail at all levels when the author adds detail from their own knowledge&#x2F

It's not a learning material though, that's the point. It's an activity book, like dot to dot. Keep it in that context and all good

Well you might as well just show your kid the picture in the book then... You will have many more memorable an enjoyable moments with your kid if you make more walking dolphins rather than just copy pictures :)

It does the old 'now draw the rest of the f'ing Owl' meme, which can only hurt the kid's self-esteem when their drawings don't match the end result (reflects my personal experience when I used 'how to draw anim

Couple of simple but perhaps naive questions: Can Microsoft pay Google to have it recommend Edge on the Google search homepage? Should Chrome, rather than have Google.com as the default homepage, offer a list of Search engines for the user

Actually I think it highlights how well Apple manage their message and keep people focused on them: most people probably don't notice or actually care about the difference in latency, and 9ms is not the best in the market, yet it becom

But aren't those monopolies mostly there because of the Government protectionism, not just market dominance? From most articles I see on them, they provide poor value and service, but the government generally gives them a huge amount

I assume it depends on what harm could be described as: Is harm of lost opportunity to a wider market, user data harvesting, incompatibility of websites due to monopolistic standards definition, Etc? Does the harm have to be obvious and ca

The article is precisely about this: regardless of practical use, people don't follow the behaviour associated with supporting that practice, so it's worthless. And people who would follow the correct behaviour...are probably capa

Indeed, convenience at all costs is a curse that's driving towards 1984. The destination of this absurdity is why even bother thinking if someone else can do it for you...

It seems to fall under the quiet assumption that technology advances and automation are inherently good, and that manual processes and analogue things are inefficient and undesirable. We don't even do the whole 'should we' ev

The undertone of your posts appears to be that climate change is not that big of a deal. Do you think we're facing an incredibly serious problem with climate change or just some minor corrections to be made?

I think the business model associated with these paywalls is what is flawed. I'm not going to subscribe to a site just because I viewed a number of articles if I didn't perceive them to be high value. They must demonstrate value

This is because of the modern idea that we should be most interested in ourselves and what profit we can generate rather than what is good for our community (i.e. open, independent and shared journalism). Also, if the user is not to be the

Surely this is one of those technological advances where on reviewing the 'should we' it becomes clear the negatives far outweigh the positives and it is stopped... Surely. Reminds me of a radio interview I heard this morning from
