They can't and won't, anyone savvy enough can obfuscate it enough. This is just fear mongering for the masses, in other words, business as usual for the government

No, can't really be the case that they can't rather they would just have to be too ignorant to do it elsewhere, if you can buy Bitcoin it's relatively trivial to buy any other crypto currency.

Sounds a good idea for an app lol, you fill out a little section for each skill, feed it job listings and it spits back out your sentences that match the buzzwords of the day that HR drones are looking for. It could even sort to present the

My Facebook account will remain deleted from now until forever. Although I may have to open a business ads account because my attempts to replace it with AdWords aren't going very well so far

Trust me that if they lose a lot of users in the US but gain users in some place like India or China they will be much worse off. It takes a lot of users from those places to equal one US user due to massive income differences so ads shown

I think Google realized this a long time ago and it's also part of why they failed with Google plus. They just weren't willing to go down into the gutter the way Facebook is and try to suck up people's time to a ridiculous ex

They're dying, it may be a very slow death but the process has begun. They will become like Yahoo, Myspace, Aol, etc. They are not a Google that can pivot and do a number of different things. Also I've come to realize that Google

The idea of interchangeable cogs is completely unattainable if a non technical manager is the one hiring, replacing, etc the cogs. If you think about it it makes sense that the only type of person who could ever theoretically pull this off

I feel like a lot of my managers throughout my career have been taking the fake it til you make it approach. I guess they've"made it" but they're still faking it in terms of having zero technical competency to manage pro
