When I read the title I thought it was going to be an article praising Google, but the author seems to actually think less clicks is bad? I remember back in the early 2000s when I had to click through 1st to 10th result trying to find what

I realize now that everybody here does not have the same definition of "propaganda". A subjective news alone might not be considered propaganda by all, but as soon as editorial choices by a news outlet repeat the same bias it beco

You said it. Editorial choice makes an "objective news" subjective. Deciding what to publish or not is the key. I don't believe in "attempts at being objective". What is needed are newspapers clearly stating their b

I 100% agree with you, so let me clarify what I was trying to say in my first comment. US will label as propaganda any article coming from RT - for Russia, or that Iranian journal - for Iran, and now FB starts simply censoring those content

What bothers me is that there are very few things that are not propaganda. All Fox News article are propaganda, all CNN articles are propaganda, but yet they are accepted? Clearly a distinction is made between 'acceptable propaganda&#x

Well, following Snowden's revelations we learned that NSA was spying on European countries' citizens and administrations, the US president (Obama at the time) just said that spying on allies was a perfectly natural thing. This is

I don't know how long ago you are talking about, but I am pretty sure nowadays most schools go through contractors too for cooks and janitors (I actually did not go to school in the US so correct me if I am wrong)

Reading you it looks like Google does not hire anyone. Google is a tech company, it is perfectly natural for them to have contractors when it comes to people working in the cafes for example, because training or interviewing cooks will be d

You are absolutely right, there is actually a whole panel of different techniques that aim at getting you accept offers you would not accept straight on. I believe as a consumer it is important to be aware of those different manipulation te

> By default, we bill by the minute, not the second, to deter short duration calls and impair the economics of robocalls. Do they really expect us to believe the reason they bill by the minute is to fight against robocalls?

I am a student at 42, and I have to correct you on one really important point : 42 does not have anything as "pay later out of salary". It is a tuition free school period. Also it is not remote, you need to go to the school everyd

If many people use this bot, it will make Trump's comments actually effective, which is a pretty bad idea imho. What about a bot which would do just the opposite?
