Regardless of whether or not WhatsApp could do that secretly, and my guess is it probably has for some governments and against specific individuals, I think the writing is on the wall for Facebook to announce that WhatsApp will drop defaul

VW is really good at hyping up its theoretical progress in EVs. I guess its PR team got some rough first-hand experience dealing with the emissions scandal and came out of it battle-tested. But I've yet to see a decent EV competitor to

It seems that employee backlash against her support of Project Maven may have something to do with it, too: https://9to5google.com/2018/11/16/google-cloud-diane-greene-...

What exactly makes the two "polar opposites"? They both seem to have acquired a taste for reaching to the top by fooling everyone along the way, at least.

I really don't think high amounts of salt is a big deal, unless you almost never eat foods with potassium, too. But even then high levels of salt is probably a bigger issue for people who already have border-line high blood pressure du

Lack of exercise is definitely part of the issue. But "blood pressure rise with age" is almost certainly due to atherosclerosis. And atherosclerosis seems to be primarily caused due to inflammation, which destroys the artery walls

In some ways? Or by design? After all ACA was always a capitalist form of healthcare.

For the same reason they don't vote for a third-party candidate in the general, even if they like that candidate much more - they want to maximize the chance of winning for the "lesser evil" and not risk the "greater evi

This is why Google's so-called "AI ethics board" is nothing but a sham. The AI ethics board should have already stopped this, or the fact that Google intended to use its AI in China for censorship, or use it for military dron

The sale of all gas-powered cars should probably be banned more like by 2030. I figure there will be plenty of cheap EVs by then. However, even these conservative policy roadmaps are helpful because at least they give a warning to the ind

You would think that but you'd be surprised to learn from snowden's leaks that the NSA does "waste time" and resources with a lot of this type of surveillance. We had to pass a new surveillance law just to get the NSA (

The third party doctrine is such bullshit. People have a (human) right to privacy in their homes. Banks don't get to say the money you put in one of their accounts is "theirs" do they? Why would you not benefit from the same

Funny how Google only realized this a few years after started to sell its own phones with OLED screens. It's also funny how Google has only made Android "whiter" since then.

The last time I read about this technology there was a concern that there would be lasting smell from the toilet due to how it cleans itself (improperly). Has the issue been fixed? I believe you also need to remove a poop-filled/staine
