No - it is not. For most Indians, encryption of messaging/communication is a recent phenomenon popularized by Whatsapp. Millions of people have already died as part of religious, naxal and territorial violence in the past decades. Encr

Whenever it is approved, 737 MAX is likely going to be the safest aircraft that Boeing would have produced. There has been so much scrutiny after the past 2 crashes that at this point every remote possibility has likely been considered and

Nothing like this is going to happen. Google Search is leaps and bounds ahead beyond anything else. And Google Assistant on top of this makes it even more effective. This was a mistake by Google and they heard the feedback and corrected it.

Yes because China and US have the same value system. Both countries are interchangeable even though one has extensive history of practicing free speech while the other locks their citizens up for speaking up.

Do you know there are no school buses for most elementary public schools in SF? Do some research before blurting out things.

There are homeless people on the streets injecting drugs into them. And to send your 5yr old into that path will likely result in challenges. And stop with your America has this problem and Europe doesn't. Each country has its pros and

The problem with this line of argument often is that you are transposing solutions that work elsewhere piecemeal vs. looking at things holistically. For example, public schools in cities such as SF could be quite far away from people's

The OP literally said it was excellent. But expensive. What is your point?

Stress is definitely higher with public transport. THe challenge is that time is the constraint. Parents need to drop off their kids and be in their office by a certain time and do the reverse in the evenings. If you are proposing public tr

No it is not like that. I know you want to fit things to your narrative but honestly what we are asking here is to completely redesign cities from ground up and it is not going to happen anytime soon. Europe works since it has a huge histor

Walking to primary school at 5yrs old is not going to happen. I don't know which primary school you were in but sending your kid alone to school at that age seems improbable.

Car free often means family free. See that there are no kids in their illustrations but 2 dogs and a bunch of young people? People need to wake up to the reality that kids demand cars. How will school pick up and drop offs work? How will yo

To say American and Chinese companies are operating on the same part of the spectrum shows how ignorant your comment is. Fwiw, the Chinese govt might have access to all the data on your OnePlus phone and you won't have any idea about i

Where is Israel coming here into your argument? Just because you don't like Israel and what they are doing doesn't mean you should treat them the same as Saudi Arabia and create a narrative around them together.

If you are under the delusion that print and TV media is duly fact checking all political ads, then you are free to believe what you want.

CNN rejecting Trump ads is akin to Fox rejecting Warren ads given how they are politically aligned. Facebook is trying to be neutral here and let people (and journalists who will write on such ads) decide vs. trying to come in with their ow

Foreign govt can also pay for political ads via TV/print as well. Most of the foreign govt interference is not via ads but via organic channels such as FB Pages, FB user accounts, Twitter accounts/bots. Those will continue to oper

Facebook has a public database where all political ads are visible to anyone. Media is free to report on them.

Twitter can just follow Facebook here and let public/journalists evaluate the truthfulness of the campaigns vs. doing it themselves (as that is open to interpretation). If print media and TV channels can do that, why can't social

So why not use the same methodology on TV or print as well and ban political ads across? Why is social media singled out here? What about ads on YouTube? This is nothing but a copout solution. Twitter doesn't have the will nor the capi

This is a cop out solution. We don't want to be a part of this debate and neither have the capital to be - so we will just not show any political ads. Social media is just like television in some ways - it is a channel for users/b

I think what you don't get is that in a state the size of California, ancient and faulty equipments is part of the course. Not everything can be sparkling new w/o incurring massive costs. Also, even then California regulations wil

Ok - so then suffer with power cuts. It is wrong to say that PG&E is a likely worse than any other US utility company. And playing safe than sorry is the natural outcome if we are going to blame them every fire.

Well if you want 100% foolproof fire insulation, PG&E would be multiple times what they are today.

While PG&E is definitely at fault here, I feel California deserves this type of treatment. With the extremely stringent regulations which place PG&E at risk for massive fines/penalty for wildfires even if they take all possible

Courage. And user privacy. Tim Cook should just resign at this point with all his hypocrisy. I don't know how he looks himself in the mirror with a straight gaze these days.
