I just switched to iPhone after 10 years, and have to say I love it so far. For me Apple Watch is the star, the battery life is a bit short but it can do everything I need in a wearable device (calendar, notifications, chat) and nothing I d

Why are the cars even at the roads when it was fairly clear this could happen?

Not sure how they can do that in a reasonable way since it is not open source? And just because the data is not in China does not mean the Chinese government does not get access, it is more like the other way round. If the data is in China

The censorship is completely different though, if you want to write "Fuck Donald Trump", or give a detailed account of his crimes on a US platform, it will not be censored. Try the same in a Chinese owned platform about f.ex. some

I think the parents is somewhat justified, there is a very fine line between "hacking" as described here and scammy. It is almost inevitable it gets to AirBnB level if that is your thought process. Would be interesting to hear the

Yeah, if it is me and my wife we go hotel 90% of the time at least now. If it is more family members coming, like my parents or her parents, we will book an airbnb so everyone can get their own room and we can eat together etc.

Can you provide more detail on how they actually use the bitcoin? Genuinely curious as in most countries the use cases are very limited, and there is a large cut when converting into/out of bitcoin that doesn't make it worth it.

Don't forget Kia, and for Hyundai I think Kona is more important than Ionic. I have the Kia EV, and I don't love it, but I really like it. For the price it is great.

Isn't skat more like treasure that's also used for people? At least that's how it is in Norwegian. No idea why taxes use the same word, it sure so in Norwegian too.

Only if China decided to do so. They can pick a fight about anything they want to, so there is really no avoiding that.

The Chinese version of the Blizzard statement was different: https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/10/10/verified-chinese-bli... It included we will defend the honor of the nation, making it clear exactly wh

There is an easy solution to this, rescuing abandoned dogs. We have had two dogs (down to one now after a cancer battle), and both would have had not home, or been parked in a volunteer run shelter left alone most of the time. I think they

It's great written and very relevant. I did find the second half where he discusses wework and how to short unicorns more interesting (answer you start your own if you think money is too loose).

No it would not, both Warren and Sanders are strong supporters of transparency and voting rights and want to reign in lobbying and power of big corporations.

I don't think we disagree? Note that there has historically been another way, to force the oppressor to be brutal enough that they, or the people sent to do it, will turn on the government. This worked in India against the British and

I mean all citizen, not some special citizens or a few citizens. Of course if the power is in the hands of the few it doesn't matter at all which label you put on them.

A few things: - Even if Biden is guilty, what Trump is doing is clearly illegal, as said by everyone looking at the law - GOP was supporting Biden on this issue at the time - Even the remove prosecutor in Ukraine says there is no Biden stor

FB has also said it would be disaster for them if Warren wins, and they would have to fight for their (or Zucks) life if that happens. It is unclear if we can expect FB to be neutral if the election does involve Warren.

This is just not true. Authoritarian governments are kept in check by free speech and openness of government. Sanders and Warren are clearly if favor of citizens being in charge of the government.

Can you come with some concrete examples of what would have not been allowed? The US is still a very free country with robust freedom of speech and mostly fair and open court cases.

I think people of HK have tried other more peaceful approaches in the past and have received nothing in return from Beijing. Do you have any propositions of what citizens of HK, or China, can do to get more freedoms like freedom of speech o

I loved in Switzerland recently, and I never really understood how the wealth tax works when the banks don't talk to the tax authorities. Is it entirely optional?

Swiss banks doesn't actually disclose to swiss authorities, even though the have a wealth tax based partially on the money in your bank account.

China's shift toward democracy, what do you mean here? Any recent examples of China becoming more democratic? Or is we didn't slaughter or own people for speaking their mind this time what you mean?
