They have been relocating Uighurs to different parts of China. I've talked to a number of different friends who live in China about this. So it seems that at the end of the re-education, they reintroduced them at other locations so it

I have to wonder how many corporations have been hacked but we will never know, because they are worried about the value of their stock. This could actually be a much greater threat to hobbling our infrastructure or blackmailing wealthy peo

Okay, I'm editing this post because I guess Google incognito mode just doesn't include the history on my own device, but I assume that means that it's fair game for the government. So that means the government is getting info

And having been like this for a few years, it even seems strange to me that fruit wouldn't be the first thing you would think of when it comes to getting sugar. And I'm not directing this at you. I'm just saying I used to dri

I appreciate at least having a good option that doesn't involve putting a Google product on my website. We tried to use our own captcha back in the day, and then used some third party, and they just weren't good enough. I'm g

If I can watch a video on my computer for free, it's not too difficult to capture it. There is software I can download. There are browser plugins. This is just one of many options available. I do fear though that this is going to lead

I was trying to load a workout video, and it worked on my phone but I wanted to cast it to my TV. I turned off/on my router and Wi-Fi, reset chromecast, restart the phone, restarted the laptop. I was about to just try to do it from my

I will especially hate this when I'm trying to translate something. If I can't copy and paste text into a translate app, the next step would be to take a screenshot and then use OCR. Of course if I'm really determined there a

Not currently possessing the skill necessary to get that library up and running, is there a way I can just test it and see how it translates?

And when Google has another product that competes against mine, I have to pay Google to advertise against Google. How fair of a playing field is that?

I have to pay Google to compete against Google. I'm in education. And Google has a product for educators and students. So do I. Now Google's going to be able to smartly know who to advertise to and get their product in front of Go

If search weren't part of the equation I could see how that might benefit some small businesses but definitely there is a clear Monopoly on search. Don't you agree?

Google used to be more in tune with small businesses. Now they are so focused on that ad money (mostly from big corporations), that so many small businesses are getting squeezed out. Rather than helping small businesses grow, that keep taki

Knowledge of 3000 characters in Chinese is enough to read about 99% of text. Many words use two characters. Then there are Chengyu which are generally 4 characters and are derived from an old story. 850 characters would definitely be enough

I have been studying Chinese for 7 years. Many of my Chinese friends live in Los Angeles and WeChat is central in their life... Getting a job, taking orders, doing all kinds of business, paying for things. They don't know the phone num

Banning WeChat especially affects how average Chinese citizens view the US, and the overall effect is worse relations with China. In terms of bad actors, this will just create more of a black market, causing people who must do business with

Right, and it also outlines how records were not kept up-to-date. I would be interested to know what has happened since then. What type of records are being kept now? it seems likely that with today's technology we can use something to

I see people discussing different alternatives, but for me there are very few viable solutions that would be nearly as good as gmail. And actually I don't like it this way. I hate to use the m word here, but it's kind of monopolis

Yes, thank you for entertaining this idea at least. There is a certain amount of logic that people who post a review, which is optional, have some sort of motivation for doing it in the first place. And then there's also the idea that
