I used brace for a while on mobile but stopped once brave started to out ads in the notification bar. I don't remember exactly what they were for - probably BAT and the browser itself - but I definitely don't need another pathway

Ethics and contract law are different things though. Is regional licensing ethical?I don't have opinion one way or the other but violation of a contract is not automatically unethical.

You really and honestly believe that the 'exposure' artists get from piracy is balancing/used to balance out the lost revenue from sales? Yes sure a few made it. But for the vast majority of small artists there's just no

There is no doubt that it's a carcinogen, just some questions about how strongly and at what kinds of exposure. IARC has an easier decision than most national regulators as they only look at the science. National regulators have to bal

A company with $10bn revenue buys one with $58bn revenue. This comes after cancelling a merger and nearly getting sued for $1bn because they last-minute-cancelled a merger with Fujifilm. Sounds totally healthy and not at all like some finan

Not an unusual lobby study. Then they turn around and tell everyone to teach more physics in school and invest in the field/studies. I've seen similar ones for very different professions with similar outcomes. A but unusual to see

I do agree that there is much less entrepreneurial mindset but there is not less creation. What the creation leads to is different and I'd suggest two main reasons: 1) Europeans are less likely to make it a business - the safety net mi

Not in the UAE. The embassies are very aware but helpless. The women (maids) and men (builders) are told they'll go to prison or worse if they try to run. There are girls that were raped being publicly lashed for having sex or in some

A couple journalists fairly easily find these listing on public platforms - and you're telling me the platforms could not do easily a lot more to capture and report these folks?

While I absolutely agree that this needs to be crackef and every perpetrator personally punished, let's not forget that this is undercover also happening in other countries. Blood farms in India (look it up, horrifying), brick kilns in

A really sad state of affairs when we are monitoring all our children's communications. Its the same as those parents installing spyware on their kids' devices: an attempt to alleviate the symptoms, rather than the causes: lonelin

As a European I don't trust the big US corporations but I can guarantee you I'd never voluntarily or any sensitive data - or my email, which is also an authentication tool for many issues - into the hands of a Russian or Chinese c

The city succeeded to keep talent because they invested in them. Somewhat unrelated but this really reminds me of Germany's Kurzarbeitslosengeld - short working hour unemployment benefits - which was introduced in the crisis years and

Nothing dishonest here. A criminal enterprise purposely creating a phone with hidden OS to cater to the criminal market. No privacy conscious person buys a black box $1200 phone that costs $700 every six months. This doesn't mean all e

Bad clickbait rehashing a Twitter joke. Compare enough graphs and I'm sure you find some that look similar... But those don't even look very close.

A century ago there were so many mummies in Egypt, they sold then literally as firewood. Most bodies buried in most places won't be so well preserved though. In Europe the average grave will be dug up and replaced 20-30 years after bur

I can't speak for every country but in most of Europe the opposite is the case. You'll be asked for preexisting conditions - but only once you register for medical care, and only to ensure good information and proper care. For imm
