This is exactly what happens, I've seen it first hand. The land is kept is more of a natural state to preserve it for hunting. Some are hunted for trophies etc., but the numbers that are taken are controlled so that you have another

Some sub-species are dwindling and others are thriving, there are farms in South Africa where they are raised, not unlike how you raise other animals for food consumption and then they do the whole trophy hunting thing with some of them. Th

Given how regressive/repressive many universities have become this is really scary. With that being said it is not entirely surprising given the amount of Chinese investment going into the us with things such as this https:/&#x2F

Given the bias inside of Google and the fact they have already demonstrated that they are not a neutral arbitrator, the last thing I want to have is them being the arbitrator of who or what news is seen. This is more of an attempt to consol

This is everyting that is wrong with the electoral system in the US and the attempt (often successful) of many people to buy elections. It's one thing when you live in an area, vote in it, and work at that level. It is another when yo

And given that the corporations have bought the Government, it is really VERY similar to what is happening in China.

I have both. Honestly they both have strengths and weaknesses. There are devices on my smart home that Google Home has trouble with with voice commands and there are devices that Alexa is not good with. I personally like the Google cast f

You hit the nail on the head. Not all women are like this but there are lots of stories out there of ones who are.....including comments like this on Twitter. https://twitter.com/runrunstacy/status/9682207993069568

This is what happens when the educational system concentrates on emotional safety vs actually exposing students to what is happening in the real world. In real life, you also have to come to the realization that there are winners and losers

Given how well cough the assistant has been able to cope with accents in English (it hasn't very well at all) it will be interesting to see how well this works in practice.

Part of the reason that Google is in this situation is because, instead of staying neutral politically they took sides making themselves more of a target. There is also the issue of data privacy as it relates to sharing the data with the US

Unfortunately, even if you are one of the under-represented people, discourse that does not fit into the narrative is met with open hostility in this new world we live in. A great example of that is what this women experienced https:/

So two things here. First, you have the fact that these types of products are not easy to track ROI with. It's not like a click through ad where it is easy to see a direct conversion from a click to a purchase. The other issue has to

note that they slashed spending as well. Given all of the talk of regulation I don't think they are out of the woods yet. If increased regulation does happen it will have an enormous effect on the business.

With Google, for example, right now they have a pseudo monopoly in search with 80% world wide market share. With that kind of power, it is very easy to manipulate search results to control what people see which can have a profound affect on

While I agree that people are messy and do fight among themselves in political parties it was, to me, because they seemed like natural allies on the surface. Though from a pragmatic and cynical standpoint, giving the headwinds Google and Fa

This is surprising considering that Google and Facebook tend to support a lot of the Soros ideological agenda. Crazy and interesting times for sure...... but we definitely do need an anti-trust action to balance things out.

This is why this is happening. Everybody is quick to jump on the climate change bandwagon, but the government in ZA is VERY inefficient, incompetent and corrupt... to the point of making many other countries worst days look like competence.

Google used to hire the best and the brightest. While there are still a lot of smart people there, they have diluted that process in favor of other things and the quality of their workforce has slipped. The truth is that outside of search m

I agree with this. As part of the underwriting for the loan the school has to have skin in the game and is responsible for at least some of the default and no extra recourse to go after the debtor beyond what the original lender already did
