The NDP is a centre-right party. Don't apply the USA's very very right-shifted political spectrum to Canada. The American Democrats and Republicans both would be parts of the Conservative Party. The Democrats are closest to the Re

It was the mouth piece of the Progressive Conservative Party before the merger. It's been a conservative newspaper since it's founding. Historically most of it's ownership has been directly involved, sometimes in a leadership

This is a bit wrong for Thailand as it doesn't mention nicknames. Or rules for using the given name vs. nicknames. Unless in very formal context it's normal to use nicknames not given names. In day to day life nicknames are by far

Protected from what? This a legal action being brought by X, not by the ADL. X is not the defendant so it's not really about X's protection. The ADL hasn't taken any legal action against X; it's just made some statements

I've used Perforce before moving to Git (and used rc and svn before that), everyone has had the same issues with one team member knowing it better and being to go to person for resolving issue. With Perforce the GUI is okay, or at leas

Correct, because over that size a number of censorship and monitoring requirements come into play. A lot of WeChat's early success was focused around keeping things more private. The 500 limit is part of that.

There is still a lot of people to move over to the ARM side. Most people haven't made the move yet. I'm just about to myself. It makes more sense for them to focus on migrating people over at this stage.

Communication is both sending and receiving. If you are only good at sending, you're not a good communicator. You have to be able to listen, both to what is said/written and what is not to be a good communicator. It's not a c

Exactly. Communication is both sending and receiving . And receiving it the more important part.

The problem is DuckDuckGo is very USA and English focused. I've switched to it myself long ago, but it's very frustrating when I search for things and it brings up American shops higher than anything else. I'm not going to 5

Well written. But not surprising. Gitpod's quality and customer support have really gone since they started to receive funding and shifted from customer focused growth to VC focused growth. Before they were a joy to deal with. That com

Doesn't sound like he did anything wrong. Helping to spread technical knowledge around the world is a praise worthy act even if the USA considers it illegal.

As much as I dislike Facebook, this feels more part the US' general anti-Chinese bigotry than anything else. Why are Chinese companies being singled out here?

It really depends which country you're looking at. Usually Google Maps is better, but not always. China is a good example of a place where Apple Maps is far superior.

I'm completely against sexual exploitation as well. But prostitution, i.e., sex between consenting adults in exchange for money, has nothing whatsoever to do with sexual exploitation or slavery. Sexwork is work, just like any other typ

None of these subs contained "sexual deviants". However braincels and theredpill do but they are still around. Both promote violence.

Can it really be called a "power grab" when he already had all the power? This is more fait accompli. A lot of speculation is that Xi is doing this because it's now basically impossible for him to retire now. Through the anti

Because the Winnie the Pooh meme is about Xi's relationship with Obama and the USA. It comes from photos of them walking together a few years ago. It's not a flattering depiction. More because it was seen as Xi being a little too

The setup at immigration has it so the officer can't see what you pushed. Yes you can see them, but they don't know what you pressed -- at least at every Airport in China I've visited. This 4 scale smily face is pretty common
