In the 1980s and 90s, knowing about computers was also a way for kids to "rebel against old people". It was us who could teach our teachers how to use and program a computer, not the other way around. That's gone now. Today,

Its a giude about web UI best practices, and the icons symbolizing the different topics are not clickable? Besides, I didn't even notice that some of the headlines/h2s in the subsequent pages are actually clickable. Then, they act

This seems like some guy who's AdSense account got banned and now he's trying to take his revenge. If there is any proof, just go to some good journalist, like Snowden did. The journalist will know how to proceed about publishing

Just back from East Africa, and plain HTML is really useful there. Never was able to open G+ and always used the offline version of Gmail.

Comparing it to the GDR ("East Germany") would be more apropriate, I guess. And you'd avoid Godwin.

Why didn't he just click "block" and wait for normal people to contact him? There are probably some idiots who jump onto every new profile that pops up. Once blocked, it will become much easier.

> Chinese people The only "proper" enemy would be Russia, and therefore China signed a border agreement with Russia, basically giving up their claims. Because Russia is stong enough to not play these silly games the CCP is play

Its China who is heating the issue time and time again. With Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam. They even sent troops into India last year. Its only with Russia that they signed a peaceful border agreement two(?) years ago, because Russia wou

They are called the Pagasa Island by everybody but the Chinese propaganda ministry. Anyway, I think this is all more Chinese interior policy, to divert public attention in China from the many problems the CCP currently has to maintain itsel

That would be much more useful. My password is strong enough, but I would never use an computer other than my own to log into Gmail or any other important account. One-time passwords would be a good thing to have. Maybe possible with 2-fact

The current price hike is made in China. Better to look there for hints as to when the bubble will burst.

I appreciate it when the top-voted comment tells me the bullshit level of the linked article, so I can decide if it is worth to actually click through. In this care it seems that it is not.

I know that argument, but it is incorrect. Production needs to be efficient in order to compete. Efficiency needs knowledge. These "groups of poor" lack that knowledge. And the amount of free money is way to low to produce anythin

My guess is that companies will offer to "write nice proposals" for groups of poor people to get free money and then charge 30% as a fee from them.

The only way countries have /ever/ developed is by the production of value, products that a market wants to buy, usually an export market. Handing out free money doesn't help to achieve that goal. It just perpetualtes depende
