I agree. The free-market did not work, time for regulations.

Violating terms or not- it's still a lot of power for Google to hold over a person and there should be some consumer protections for this.

Yeah, being left out of the models plays into the conspiracy factor. My father mentioned that climate scientists are shills knowingly leaving out this data.

Is there a way to get your data out if your account is suspended? In the very least there needs to be some recourse and a way for users to export their data if their account is suspended.

My father has been going on about cloud coverage lately. The conspiracy being that they have a cooling effect and invalidate some liberal climate change agenda.

That's true. The Chinese government could just decide they do not like you and you have no recourse whatsoever. Good point.

They are seeking new revenue in the Chinese market. To them they see a minuscule boycott in the US as the cost of gaining that market- net positive.

All your peers are doing it and improving their social credit scores. Do you want to fall behind your peers?

A lot of things are taxed multiple times. I pay income tax, then use that taxed income to purchase a vehicle which carries a sales tax, and for awhile I even paid a tax on the value of that car annually. Same money being taxed multiple time

Look at it this way- they basically are not allowed to say anything else. I pity them but at the same time I hope things improve for them.

Is China a more profitable market than the US? It's worrying that US companies are willing to go this far for foreign profit.

Don't forget that long starship travels and long timeline scientific endeavors are now a reality.

The person receiving should count it as income and have it taxed accordingly.

Kanban seems pretty similar to a method I used in college to track tasks, not even software tasks. This leads me to believe that it is intuitive since it more or less naturally made sense to me before ever knowing Kanban was a thing. Going

This is a contributing factor as to why I'm still shit at math to this day. I'd just spend all class writing programs in the calculator that did the work for me.

Bill Clinton accomplished that but at some cost. My father still laments the cancellation of the superconducting supercollider that he had the pleasure to work on.

I'm usually the first to shit on Stallman but I really liked his suggestions here. But hypothetically if Microsoft fully implements all of what RMS suggested would Windows be listed as an approved distro on gnu.org? https://

I have. Being a hero means some risk to yourself does it not? Ultimately if you piss off a government you're going to run the risk of things going poorly for yourself. All I know is the last place he should have went was to a foreign c

If that's the case why does he feel the need to lie about it? Why should I believe anything that he says now? I don't like being lied to- not by my government, and not by Mr. Snowden. If he had noble intentions he took the worst p

The new iPhone camera looks pretty sweet but the part that I'm starting to disagree with is what they call, "semantic rendering." This is where the camera recognizes different things in the photo and treats them different lik
