Real in the sense that there is some sort of evidence of actions that have crossed the thresholds of legality as per American laws. The data security/privacy community, I think generally don't see TikTok for example as any much mo

I think most of the hawkish policies against TikTok etc was being driven by people like Peter Navarro and Pompeo who are going to be out of the picture now. Navarro has especially come under flak for being the US government's "Chi

Either TikTok has right to operate in US or it does not. Is there any letter or terms or conditions of the US law that is prohibiting TikTok from operating? I don't think so. Also it has been allowed to operate for years till now, What

For that it has to be established that TikTok is some type of malicious spyware to the satisfaction of US courts and legal system, which hasn't been done.

Also TikTok hasn't violated US laws, then where is the case for banning them? Banning something that is perfectly legal seems absurd to do in our legal system. Also US government hasn't made a specific claim of any imminent secur

Fed government could simply order all federal employees off tiktok or any other service without legal hurdles. What is the point of banning for the general public.

I do think that that Americans are largely choosing to use bigger cars with bigger engines that they usually require. There should be a move to small engined, smaller and more efficient autos, but I don't see that in the US.

Why is a smaller car a problem, a hatch back with 3 cylinder engine of 1 litre, turing out 60 HP won't be sufficient in Georgia or Florida?

Atleast till some years ago Queuing Theory was considered fundamental for CS, and certainly statistics and probability and spatial geometry is very important for CS, apart from discrete math. Also entirely another kind of math is also used

Also Darkest Dungeon and perhaps Battle Brothers.

Perhaps Darkest Dungeon is also closer to XCom, and even though entirely in 2d it manages to achieve the spatiality of combat in XCom.

With the recent Firaxis XCom, a common recommendation going around was to rename your soldiers with your closest friends names, for an additional layer of attachment with them.

I think it is not about reservations or benefits majorly, but rather about the symbols that the Upper Castes are reluctant to let go of, like using caste names as surnames, and wearing of symbols, even the manner/affectations of speech

I think Sega is also a major player, they have bought up many studios in recent years including Relic, Creative Assembly and Amplitude.

British did burn down the Summer Palace, which action is now considered one of the worst acts of cultural vandalism ever perpetrated.

Remember even during the WW2, the US view was that concessions like HK taken by European countries from China through "Unequal Treaties" needs to be returned to China eventually.

But government did not establish the precise nature of imminent "national security" threat by these apps, nor did establish that these apps violated American laws.

But Democrats did try to nominate Garland in 2016, so now can they protest if Republicans put up a nominee now? Republican position may be inconsistent between 2020 and 2016, but if Reps now take position taken by Dems in 2016, how can Dems

It seems unreasonable that US government can dictate what apps one can use or not use, and also there is no semblance of a transparent due process being followed for this. Also TikTok has not broken US laws as per US courts. How can the Pre

It's not exactly clear if the Indian Government has authority enough to do this ban, without presenting concrete evidence, under existing laws. There seems to be no semblance of a due process. As a democratic country India seems to tru

There were a couple similar services already I think in a similar vein, like DailyLit and DripRead.. But nice implementation, nonetheless...

The thing is, there is a definite anti China sentiment within the present US government and many western media sources, in the sense that they seem to have a definite desire to villify China in recent times. So the claims presented by them

Ukrain had rather strong linguistic division into two camps, even before it became an open conflict. There is no similar deep sectarian division within Belarus.

The fact is that Apple/Google hasn't found them in serious infringement of anything. The article from CNN seems to echo the view in point 1: "Although leaders like Pompeo have described TikTok as a clear and present danger, m

That additional specious condition on threat to national security is what is problematic. 1. Expert opinion seems to be that the perceived threats indicated in the case of TikTok are vague and over hyped, and there is no concrete evidence p
