How do you change people's mindsets from 'free is good' to 'free is bad' though? They're not planning on being customers of Google. >This victim-blaming needs to stop before the tech industry backlash hits.

Not only that, Google has a reputation on spying on users. Why would you want any more Google devices in your home that are always on and always reporting to the mother-ship? Especially ones with cameras, microphones etc.

I think its not that things don't work, the explanation that people give for its working is junk. To give a personal example, about a month go, I started taking a supplement that was advertised as a "muscle recovery" supple

I disagree. It doesn't have to be confrontational if you don't want it to be. As a manager whose used it plenty in the past, I've found it to be an excellent tool to filter out people who were smooth talkers and seemed "

You don't get it. Developing vaccines is nothing like making cars. Our understanding of how the human body works is comical compared to our understanding of materials science and engineering, design and other aspects of making cars. De

They are correct. Each country wants data showing that the vaccine works for their local population. These ideas are firmly based in Science.

Data on adverse reactions is captured by the CDC/FDA/HHS throughout the lifecycle of the vaccine, from all the phases of clinical trials to its use in the general population. Its required by law.

You're on the right track. Individual words in Japanese can be represented in three ways: 1) Pure hiragana 2) Pure Kanji 3) A mixture of Kanji + hiragana #3 comes into picture especially when conjugating verbs. As the base verb is writ

No reason to think that this UX can't be duplicated in non-Apple app stores. It only artificially looks like that because Apple forces users and devs to only use their store. If users don't trust other App stores, they can simply
