South Korea's government did not do much I think it was the private companies that did it when government let them do it? Giving credit to government is little too much.

I don't think someone at Apple looked at Amazon's pricing table and Google's pricing table and decided to move to Google. Very like sales teams of Azure, Amazon, Google must have done the mating dance for few months sharing t

Also add to it the compliance cost of various cigar related laws and problems it has created for otherwise perfectly normal citizens who probably don't even smoke. Case in point is of Eric Garner[1] who got killed by NYC cops because t

If I remember correctly an ordinary men got choked to death by NYC cops for suspicion of selling cigarettes on streets. Not only that death became an icon of sort for police brutality and racial tensions, it also underlined how many lives t

And at the same time we should be thankful to live in a country where such mega-corporations can exist and thrive.

I still think that Internet and technology is much safer in USA. Hey Americans actually care about privacy. In UK or other countries people are ready with lube when government asks them to bend over.

Exactly! Those three lines of Bootstrap HTML tells me lot more than any other three lines of a non bootstrap site.

A lot of good and smart kids have disdain for authority and status-quo. I will not be surprised that this students will be harassed by these government policies. We need to take schooling back from government.

All the state funded research must be in public domain. Everywhere else the one who funds the research must decide what to do with it.

I meant I do not sign-in into youtube as you have suggested I do visit in incognito windows or with adblockers.

Sadly that documentary is one sided and what appears to be motivated documentary. We need to hear the other side too.

Being one-issue fundamentalist is always a bad thing. A sweeping statement "killer whales should not be ..." does not seem convincing. No one is even trying to put all killer whales in aquarium. Having few of them where humans cou

Public schooling is trash in USA. As an Asian parent I can tell you it is more than worthless. That is what happens when you put government into too much of control. Americans as a society have clearly traded job safety of teacher for good
