That could work if Amazon started fixing reviews but for now most reviews are spam. All the China products have raving reviews.

A nice list, except for Choose Yourself, which seems a rather typical 'be an entrepreneur, it's easy' message (or maybe I misunderstood the summary) and Rich Dad Poor Dad, which is a bunch of made up stories by a guy that him

Countries such as Germany have banned certain kinds of hate speech (Holocaust denial, incitement to racial hatred, ...) for decades. There has been no slippery slope that this got more and more, it just has to be well defined and you need a

This seems to me a "least bad option" case. The alternative is that they'll do it without showing their colours, so you won't even know that it's a possibly biased edit. Corporations are also frequently under attack

Problem ist once these allegations are out there is literally no way to dispelled them. Keep up the good works. My assumption is that you could be compelled by Swiss law to give access (a la Lavabit), but that the same would be true for lit

There is a longform article on Huawei which I can't find right now, but essentially it suggested that Huawei's ultimate authority is a "workers committee" which ultimately is controlled in turn by the Party. That said, i

That might be an interesting attempt to teach kids to use tech meaningfully, rather than fiddle around with Reddit, YouTube & co like most of us. Whether that will rally succeed is another question. The internet is an eternal evolutiona

I guess some parents would feel that their child will more easily resist a lure if they don't even connect with a stranger. It has to be quite some wise 6-year-old to resist the "this puppy needs your help" pitch. On the othe

Better to stick with Irish English, which is ready the transition point. We could rename it European English jf that helps, but creating a new one would not be in anyone's interest and practically impossible: e.g. who would be the &quo

I think you're far too optimistic about why certain companies succeed and others don't. It's much more random than that. Why does the restaurant succeed? Rugby review at the right time, a big regular corporate client, a good

Even within cities a check of "does this have fast internet" is a check for many people before they rent or even buy.

Is it just about convenience and unrealistic expectations? Cooking can be cheap, eating out teens to be more expensive, but many of us feel we have to do it. Few people take a sandwich to work - many seem to rather buy it. The same for &quo

Hard to understand why the wish to homeschool your child would fulfil any of the criteria of 'refugee', which primarily is about bring persecuted and having your life threatened. That is rather unlikely in Germany...

Isn't this anyway their own tokens? So no matter whether the providers do have an own account or not, if they don't cash it out then there's no cost to brave. So its.just that they were incorrectly giving the impression that

Sorry but this is a very uninformed comment. 1) there's no one "taxing" anyone 2) this is not a judgement, its the start of an investigation into rule violation 3) this investigation was launched after a formal complaint by

A big issue of reform was the switching costs. A number of countries specifically the Nordics and France, have very elaborate and somewhat successful systems for renumeration to publishers and (theoretically) authors. For these any shift to

Complex matter. There is legitimate lobbying, which is for expert groups affected by s policy to make their position known. The issue is that the process favours big commercial players that can cough up the cash for long-term professional l

Google has no contractual way to prevent someone from using software released under a fully open license. Therefore the US gov has no way of forcing Google to do something they simply can't do.

Public sector salaries are simply set a certain way - through a political process, covering all employees. There is little leeway to give higher/lower salaries to a few as that smells like cronyism. You can't negotiate a gov salar

Or just not the right expertise to launch and manage such a contract. Sadly really difficult for government to hire the right expertise - either hiring procedures are too complicated (equitable!) or slow (thorough!) or not interested (salar

Really sad and shocking. On the other hand, one glance at industrial meat production shows how little we as a species care about our fellow creatures. Live animals (male chicks) thrown in meat grinders, calves separated at birth from their

No idea why you're so bitter about this, but obviously there is no expectation that each minute is recorded. This just spreads a common practice to the exploitative employers that don't respect workers rights - such as the right t

This is about labor rights. If you're paid for 40h your employer should not be able to press you to do more without compensation. Easy as that. If the added working time has much value they'll find a way to compensate. This way it

Thats is an odd article seemingly based on an informal rule applied when revising limits and the officer's personal perception/experience. It even cites scientific evidence to the contrary but simply dismisses it by pointing to th
