That's not a stable situation. The EU forced Microsoft / IE to unbundle - Google's day of reckoning approaches.

In general, sure, but the context of this thread is drug cartels. Their unregulated businesses use capital to aggressively expand into other markets, destroy competition, and oppose democratic regulations - behaving similarly to legal capit

You answered a different question by cutting mine in half... my bitcoin holdings are stab-worthy, I understand why someone would hide their identity. My question reflects my suspicion of astroturfing. What would explain an anomalously high

That feels unlikely to me. Why would there be so many people who 1.) have enough crypto to be worried, and 2.) want to talk about crypto but didn't create a separate account prior to this negative article?

Aren't consumers technically voluntary, if we assume no one's getting addicted to heroin at gunpoint?

I'd like more regulations on securing / deleting consumer data, accountability for data leaks, public disclosure of political advertising, clear labeling of friend's content vs ads and organic trending content, and anti-monop

Traditional media only broadcasts content to millions, and they are regulated. Why isn't Facebook regulated?

According to the founder, they have been profitable since 2014. Anecdotally, I've been seeing more and more success getting friends to switch over to DDG. This feels like early mass-adoption. It's rather exciting.

Why not? They are a competitor in the search space... Public, private, doesn't matter.

My lawyer said that's not the case, at least in my state. LLCs protect against criminal and contractual liabilities, but not tort liabilities. I google'd it since I couldn't remember his exact legal reasoning, this blog post

I'm not really familiar with the policies enacted towards recovery... How "hands on" was the government in kicking the economy back into gear? Did we do much beyond lowering interest rates? Many smaller manufacturing business

Weed revenue is federally illegal. I think that's ridiculous, but buying crypto with that money in order to buy clean money is still considered money laundering under federal law.

lol, crypto isn't magic. Security through obscurity is not a solution. We're trying to move away from that tor blackmarket world. People need security through legality. This just needs to be... not illegal.

That depends on your target demographic. JS is more frequently disabled among tech-literate customers, so a cloud provider's home page would probably benefit from working without JS.

I think that analogy paints a pretty clear picture, this is a flaw because it's undesirable behavior in unexpected circumstances. A bug is unexpected behavior in expected use-cases.

Eventually those companies will have to start lobbying for those alternative public investments - the emotional argument is far more effective when <emotionally-charged need> is on the same ballot.

As long as acquiring an ID is equally painless for all demographics. Introduce a fee, limited licensing locations/appointment times, or complex applications, and the indirect result is often selective discrimination by race. That'

That's true, a fair comparison would include metro and Caltrains, and NYC's equivalent long-distance commuter lines... what just makes NYC look even better.

Thanks, I didn't know about that tool. Better than the images I provided. Still, NYC subway is far denser both within Manhattan as well as the surrounding area.

I'm a fan of high-density work spaces, as long as they're built in tandem with high-density residential spaces and high-density transportation systems. San Francisco does the former without the latter. BART is an embarrassment

Kid or no kid, the Tenderloin is fine as long as you "fit in"... but if it looks like you can be scared out of some cash, you will get the predatory stare.

Yes, you're describing discretion and reiterating the author. They never suggested lying, merely being mindful of the circumstances when disclosing truth.

Are you asking for examples of failure resulting from one or more people overstating their confidence in achieving expectations?

What? You either selectively read my response, or you're being deliberately obtuse with your focus on office workers. Car taxes ensure the market accurately captures negative externalities. There is no discrimination - if a doctor, CEO
