I'd guess some things affect the way they see it. a) Their media probably doesn't point it's finger at Chinese gov very often about this specific subject (or any other) b) Our media/government is just too eager to point

Sure, just throw some marketing style word play at it. Who knows, maybe this time it will stick?

The article doesn't give any indication that this process will be transparent or how they intend to classify things as "true, false, misleading or disputed". I guess it's a new thing and is probably still being tested&#x

Couldn't agree more. I see it already happening on some companies that allow employees to arrive anytime between 7am and 11am and leave once they do their daily hours. In my job I'd say somewhere between 10 and 20% of the people a

Can you substantiate your claim that the guy is joking?

I feel like the post is a 25 cent practices discussion wrapped in a $25 semantics discussion, with the added injury of a click bait title.

Yep, the old `fatalError("You need to implement this!")`.

As someone who transitioned from Java to C#/.Net to Objective-C and finally to Swift, AMEN TO THAT! I learned not to say anything as apparently every software engineer "generation" needs to follow something "hip" wh

As a Brazilian, don't take this as a reliable source of information. Where I was raised, "Estou chegando" (I'm arriving) means exactly that. Arriving late is kind of expected in parties/bbqs but not at work, meeting

They should just create their own awards, you know, with black jack and hookers. Seriously though, anything that curves to Hollywood's caprices isn't that great anyway.

Also, US inmate population is far larger than China's one, even though the former population is much smaller. For this, American citizens can either believe their government is abusing human rights, or that Americans in general are mor

I think/believe there's lack of "external stimulus" for doing that. Unless you have a channel where a big part of the audience is both intelligent and independently thinking, your message get's no traction. Simple d

If that was true we wouldn't have politicians in UK stepping down for having once touched a woman's knee, or "scandals" about pornography found in a parliament PC.

Still, I'm afraid once the precedent is stablished, it can be just a matter of time until other bans follow. I mean related to less "black and white" situations, such as ads from national entities/groups/NGOs etc th

So, basically they block access to competitor's sites via their captive wifi? The article looks, smells and sounds like click bait.

"If someone hasn’t put much thought into their setup and works from their couch 100% of the time, or worse, “doesn’t know yet,” this signals that they might not be ready for a remote position yet." Seriously, why people post such

Agreed. As much as I love Norway it seems to me only wishful thinking could explain the idea that such a small market could "lead the electric car revolution".

So yet another culprit for the DNP defeat in the last election? I'm definitely not a Trump supporter (I'm not even American), but if I remember correctly the DNP also had a gargantuan apparatus of traditional media and social netw

As the poster of the news article, I'd like to point out that there's nothing new on such situation. Someone probably asked the same questions about the telefone companies when the hospitals started taking telefone calls and sendi

Agreed. By claiming such things he sounds (to me at least) more like someone who felt out of favour on his job and left than an ethics champion.

I just don't get what's the point of having people working 50-60 hours a week. The productivity level obviously doesn't improve once you get that much overworked. It starts to look like a control mechanism, by simply not allo
