This isn't at all aimed at Apple, it's aimed at Facebook. Apple already has SMS messaging integrated, it just has a green bubble and there's nothing in the proposal that would force Apple to change anything about how the mess

But your link (the NYT times) says exactly what I said. They don't comply with local laws, which is why they're not accessible there. Not sure what else to tell you. Even Facebook's official comment is, which can be found if

Companies like Google and Facebook CHOOSE to not operate in China because they don't want to follow the the laws that Chinese companies are following. They're not banned, they're not allowed to operate unless they comply with

That's fairly normal data collection and nothing out of the ordinary at all.

The takeaway for employers: People putting out as much work in four days as they did in five. That must mean that the previous requirement was too low and should be increased.

If it's part of European employment law that's not part of the US employment law you can be pretty certain that the employee benefits from it.

I think the main argument here is not that they're conspiring to mislead. It's that they wouldn't be mainstream media if they weren't willing to publish propaganda.

I hope so or unless Google changes "back" to when it actually did what I told it to. This might sound weird but one of my skills is that I know (or knew) how to use Google. I would not just type in whatever I needed to find, I wou

GoTo has been bad for a while. I recently sent their team a support ticket for their GoToWebinar API (API response contained completely different/wrong data). They said it's not that much of a problem and said they weren't go

That's so weird to see. The information is that it teaches violence is acceptable and people will unironically respond with something like "I was slapped as a kid and I'm not a person who thinks violence is acceptable... that

But then things improved and none of that had to be done to play with friends. We had it better then they ruined it again. I think that's the entire point. Especially on consoles with limited patch sizes. Compare the experience of play

I think it's more about the naming. OptIn doesn't really suggest that it would be true by default. It being named telemetry.optOut and being set to false by default would make more sense.

I personally think that this is true and false. I think there are two types of people who use search engines. The first person is the one who just types in whatever they want to know and sees if Google gives them a good result. They're

Well then openly ask users for consent. EU law does - in absolutely no way, shape or form - forbid targeted ads. What it does is it forces companies to specifically ask for consent before collecting data for such things and people must know
