I just tried it myself, and am getting similar results. I also doubt Google does much personalization based on IP—Addresses, considering they are often shared, and often changing.

Why don’t you check Wikipedia or literally any english-language newspaper, instead of sending people on a mission explaining the basics to you? Nothing anybody is going to come up here in two paragraphs or less is going to do the subject ju

Well, obviously this is, in the abstract, a sort of balance. Both sides have that power, and both sides fear being blamed for using it. In any specific case, blame is more likely to fall on the side that demands anything out of the ordinary

“Banks will work with you and extend you credit” is exactly the same as “getting a loan”.

Ahh, yes? They regularly denounced the Florida High School students protesting gun violence as “paid actors”, ANTIFA anarchists, etc. They did so with no evidence, even though the accusation is far more specific and easily testable than it

Microsoft is doing fine because they are protected by copyright. The New is not: th specific words fall under copyright protection, but the work is in the investigation, and that work can be reappropriated by just rewriting the story “in yo

There are multiple stories about the mistakes that were made with the story you are alluding to in every major reputable news source, I. e. for The Atlantic: The Media Botched the Covington Story: https://www.theatlantic.com&#x2F

That’s just destructive cynicism. If It were true, it’s the end of democracy, because the process of deciding needs information. That would be a severe thread to your life, and you should be mobilizing everything you have to stop it, by, fo

I don’t know why anyone would be surprised. NASA is cool. I’m German, and I wouldn’t mind wearing a shirt, although I’m slightly afraid it may be misunderstood as a claim to have worked there. This is the so-called “soft power” that’s been

Love how you managed to slip some xenophobia in this completely unrelated argument.

It’s important to remember that any person is possibly a worker, but certainly a consumer. In fact, those two aspects average out to perfect balance, by definition. So even in a worst case scenario, where all immigrants happen to have one s

Sure, why not. Maybe couple it with whistleblower incentives. If your family has been in the US for 100+ years, I assure you that’s exactly how they got started.

It’s one of the remaining interesting parts of “signaling theory” that the super-elite now commonly uses shabby looks to prove that they have nothing left to prove. Only mediocrity needs a suit to be taken seriously.

Thank you. It’s terrible to see how little it takes to expose the seedy underbelly of even this community. It’s even more discouraging to think how far we have come from the times where, among the favorite lore, was the story of JFK asking

Data.gov, the public datasets on BigQuery, thebInterhet Archive, etc. The Twitter API is also relatively open, so is Flickr. There’s a lot of data to play around with, even if not all is as scandalous as the Panama Papers (but who knows...)

Who would have thought a story about reading thousands of pages of archived documents could be so riveting? For anyone interesting in how this task has changed, there are similar meta-stories about, as but one example, the process of analyz

I fail to see a distinction b/w “racist” and “due to racism”. In any case, I feel large parts of society, including major media outlets, already tend towards caution, c. f. the reluctance in calling the President’s “both sides” comment

“Cannibalizing” only requires a new product to grow at the expense of an older one. Total revenue and profit can be lower, higher, or net neutral. Arguably, the most famous examples include combined profits exceeding those of the product be

That’s not true. It’s just that racist intend is almost always impossible to prove. Outcome therefore becomes a needed proxy, but only after excluding other factors, by, for example, normalizing for age and income. Two landmark studies in t

It does take some nerve to present paying women and PoC less for the same work as somehow working “against discrimination”.

Safe working conditions also took a backseat to sheer survival for children toiling in 19th century mines. That’s no an argument for it being right, but for the need of hash enforcement of labor laws to soften the inevitable edges of a mark

This is the oldest argument against all employment anti-discrimination efforts, namely „The free market will take care of it” It’s quite obvious that this idea was never true: companies were quite willing to forgo some money to keep their w

Check the Daily Mail, which apparently runs afoul of this plugin, and compare it to the NYT, or Economist. If you can‘t immediately spot the difference, you may be a late victim of post-modern relativism. They also have transparent document
