To be fair, China doesn't block access to any websites in Hong Kong. In a sense, it's a freer internet than in the US (zero sites blocked, plus piracy is allowed).

There would be no problem at all if Google didn't have a bug when it adds events from spam emails into my calendar.

Would you say setting a single government-mandated price for goods, services or currencies has worked very well in the past?

I feel that Trump's administration has not considered the ways this will hurt poorer people and especially minorities. Or maybe they did, and went ahead anyway.

It's crazy how Trump imposed these restrictions against innocent people and got away with it.

Why would you hold corporations accountable for people in developing countries throwing plastic into rivers, which is the source of 80% of ocean plastic?

Besides that, the whole article feels like a collection of platitudes.

Yes. It's terrible that Donald Trump would do that to the people in Crimea.

In the leaked emails in 2016, Tulsi Gabbard was threatened by Democratic party officials that she would be cut off from the Dem's fundraising and shut out in other ways, and given Google's support for the Democratic party, it does

With whole exome sequencing now at 500 USD, personally I will start by testing myself and my partner for hereditary diseases before having kids.

What's the significant difference between sending a plaintext password and a sha256(plaintext password) to the server, except if the user reuses that password on other sites?

It's ironic that Americans are trying hard to bring down Facebook while flocking to services like TikTok and games released by Tencent, who use your data in numerous evil ways and are not planning to tell you any of that.

Would you also be open to question the existence of a "fake news crisis" itself, or were you convinced by the news reports that it exists?

I could not figure out why this is not considered personal information. Is the data anonymized or has a phone number attached to it?

Mathematically, does regenerating the code make a lot of difference? You can simulate that by running a loop that generates a random 4-digit number in each iteration and randomly guessing it. On average, you will guess the number after 10,0

Do you see any possible difference between providing a free service in exchange for data useful for targeting ads, and illegally leaking internal company documents with the intent to hurt the company?

Even if the Google Analytics is breached and the data is published online, you can't be tracked back to the things that you watched online.

I find it surprising that you would think that plastic trash goes into the ocean. In fact, it goes to the landfills. The trash in the ocean comes from poor waste management in Asia and Africa (none of the top 20 most plastic-polluting river

Do you think Google would need to surrender some of my personal information to China, if they are pressured to do so by the Chinese authorities? I live in Hong Kong.

If renting out to anyone is profitable and there is suddenly more demand for housing, doesn't it encourage construction of new housing?

Excellent step. I'm still a bit concerned about these countries' oversized share in the plastic pollution of oceans. While countries such as the US contribute almost nothing to plastic waste in the oceans, the majority of it comes

One of the great things about the 4 day working week is that it's one of the most efficient, if not the most efficient, feasible proposal to cut down carbon emissions. People will commute less, use less aircon at the office, and so on.

I came to the comments to learn new ideas and I found one, thank you. Indeed I was wondering why completing tasks is absolutely unsatisfying for me: it's because I wish I would have done them (earlier).
