Having 200 million users to "Report this site as fake news" and a moderation team should overcome that

Well from an engineering perspective you could create a blacklist and a whitelist. There's not a huge amount of variance in news sources out there, i'd say 80% of news sources being shared on social media are less than 100 domains

They can chew gum and walk at the same time? Like keeping their $20bn/yr Mac lineup current while running an iPhone business?

I guess all bets are off on them fixing their lineup of computer hardware then.

How do you know the OP wasn't using his own domain? It's pretty much standard fare for G Suite.

Or maybe she's done tons of shoots at tons of different cool/expensive houses and has no idea how they were booked so thought she'd cover herself just in case.

AirBNB as a company simply disgusts me. So after forcing every user on their platform to agree to a "Non discrimination policy" pop up window which feels pretty weird and accusatory - I mean i'm trying to book a villa on a be

We live in a different time now, where people are professionally offended as a form of virtue signalling - like what you're doing now. Steve came from the 70s, a time where being a bit of a rebel, a misfit, anarchist - and sticking it

On my third New-gen 13" Macbook Pro, can confirm it's the worst laptop i've owned in 10+ years

Seems like a standard news day to me. Why let all the facts get in the way of good clickbait?

It always amazes me the mental gymnastics involved from people who support Chinas censorship regime. Freedom of information and the open Internet is one of the most important and valuable things thats happened to humanity but hey man, you j

Well that depends, how long have you had it for? Most keyboard issues surface after about a year.

Not dissing Munro & Associates, they seem highly competent - but i was amused that they literally have the conjoined triangle of success as their logo.

Well so are exposed air conditioner compressors, fire escapes and hanging laundry. Most of these things and those pipes look as though they are placed on the back of the building facing an alleyway.

Any reasonable person would deduce that Facebook/American services are simply compliant.

I wonder when App store developers try using the same case against the Apple tax, how far they get? Why should we care about Goliath vs Goliath when the little guys are the ones getting screwed?

If you aren't accessing the volume control or screen brightness keys without looking down then you're not really a touch typist :)

Not only is it inferior, but it runs hotter. I found out the hard way it only has one fan instead of two. I sold my previous Macbook in disgust for a variety of reasons including still accidentally pressing touchbar buttons a year after use

I've done it about 100 times. "I have an online business in $homecountry and work from my laptop". Never had a problem.

The author of this article did a terrible job identifying the problem (and if there is one) and justifying the solution. There's nothing illegal about working online from your laptop on a tourist visa, nobody that i'm aware of has

Don't you think being honest about their fuckups in situations involving death is just a massive lawsuit? You can't do that in America.

I'll never understand why I can't pay Google and Facebook $20 to $50 per year to simply respect my privacy and not give me advertisements. I can't imagine they make more than this off my viewing behaviour (especially as I use

The Beijing municipality has said it will even consider allowing foreign professionals to bring in their own foreign maids, currently illegal in Beijing. Well shit, sign me up.

So can anyone tell me why we should support what China is doing? Why should any entrepreneur or tech worker go there and support this government? How come China seems to get a free pass on human rights issues like this by western society?

I suppose when you're not able to give an unwavering commitment to protecting your customers data, coming up with a completely unrelated corporate social responsibility plan like this makes sense.
