Why doesnt china have the freedom to choose what commerce they want to engage in? If the US didnt want the chinese selling HP servers to Iran, they should not have sold them to China. If China jailed Tim Cook for selling iPhones to Taiwan t

GDPR and CCPA are just the beginning. Regulation will absolutely play a role in the fight for internet privacy. I sympathize with the libertarian instinct, but the only way to acheive what you want is to raise awareness of the problem and b

Cadence's point is very valid. Mozilla gets funding by charging search engines to be the default in Firefox and that isn't changing anytime soon. I wish people didn't instinctively downvote when someone is wrong on a technica

This is an american perspective. In the UK, people are proud to be "on the dole" and very few support restricting it. EDIT: Of course brits will still look for work. My point is that Ive seen brits in talk shows audiences talk abo

That likely depends on how effective we are at eliminating it in the coming months. I doubt it will become endemic in Korea or Singapore. I wonder if even influenza could be erraticated in the coming years with mass testing and contact trac

Bubonic plague, tuberculosis and polio still exist outside the West, but they don't cause much inefficiency here. I doubt doing some ongoing testing for SARS now that it's been mostly eliminated in Asia will permanently cripple A

The public absolutlely paid the price in the form of bailouts. If those banks had been allowed to fail I would agree with you, but they knew they'd probably be bailed out from the beginning and used CDOs to ensure it. QE is a direct tr

If it's racist to treat people differently in a way that affects people of some races, than anything less than open borders (allowing anyone to immigrate for any reason) is racist. If you don't support open boarders, you're e
