Accepting Chinese and other international students is for the USA's own benefit, and not some form of foreign charity. We get some of the smartest people in the world who do great work here and finance a huge chunk of operating expense

I can see the number of scanning lanes (which is usually 1) being a bottleneck on large aircrafts with lots of doors, like the A380 example they have given.

Identity checks are handled by TSA, not airline employees, so this scan has nothing to do with security. They check your boarding pass to make sure you have paid for the flight you are getting on. Also "99% accuracy" can mean it h

Large data-farming corporations can and will continue operating in Europe, since they are the only ones that have the resources to understand the law, find limits and loopholes, pay fines, make major changes to their systems etc. Smaller co

Exactly. Serious investors aren't going to look at this list, but rather do their own research. This is basically to protect against lawsuits.

I really hope this isn't intentional. Deleting a ton of user data from their site on a whim is pretty ridiculous.

Because it goes completely against the interests of local governments. You will be amazed to see how large a portion of your city and police department's budgets are from fines.

> credit goes to a couple judges who denied the Mayo clinic's requests Also to the police, who refused to pursue the "abduction" once it was clear that the patient was being taken care of at another hospital.

I have anecdotally observed much higher rates of smoking among friends and on the streets in South Asia (mainly India) vs. USA, but interestingly the data seems to indicate the opposite.

InfoWars gets these 10 million visits because of platforms like YouTube and Facebook, so I don't see any reason why that privilege can't be taken away, especially for clearly flouting rules that other content creators have to fo

But how do policy changes result in a 50% increase in total expenses? They can't be hiring that many lawyers.

They already deal with HIPAA compliance, so that's some reassurance.

Plus the negative effects need to be mitigated by legislation (and to a great extent already are) rather than secrecy.

Something like U2F is never going to find mass success in a consumer application. Every enterprise auth provider supports it, which is its major use case for now.

This is impossible to even ballpark without some insider info. My company for example runs a ton of user facing services on AWS, but the vast majority of costs come from internal data storage and processing pipelines (server logs, analytics

Yup, all major tech companies have data centers in Dublin, mainly because the government has made it very easy and attractive to do so.

So, a company can just advertise any low price and add on a bunch of arbitrary "fees" to pad their numbers? Sounds perfectly sane.
