If they removed a book because they didn't like it because it was antisemitic, then it's clear to me that they will most likely do so again in the future for antisemitism and, maybe, for other reasons. That's what happens wit

I disagree that it's misleading, because the reason is not stated. "Books" may not be correct in this context because it's been a single one thus far, but if another antisemitic book appears, they'd probably delete

Hot take: I watch almost no HD video, and I practically don't download anything. Why should I have to pay the same money than someone who spends all day streaming 4K Netflix from 5 screens? "Just buy a lower speed" is not fea

Both are correct. They removed a book they didn't like because they considered it to be anti-semitic. They are not exclusive.

Mass media feels like a direct impediment to democracy. When what they publish consist of the same crap all the time, it may seem as though that stuff carries more weight than it really does. I wonder to what degree the mass media are respo

Also in Spain. Kevin, Joshua, etc automatically mark you as being a gypsy. No Chantal here though, but names like Jennifer or Yolanda are arguably used to that effect too. Very, very surprised though to see this as an international phenomen

The correct answer in SO questions is always the most voted one, not the accepted one. I always check for that. I think I've seen SO recently sort the answers of a certain question by number of votes by default but I might be wrong

I think Xi is not well prepared for urban guerrilla. He'll probably wait this out, get prepared for it, and shut up the protestors once and for all the next time they decide to make noise (maybe in 2-3 years?).

Not everybody agrees with your politics. And not everybody who disagrees with the Western, liberal view of the world has been brainwashed. Maybe those soldiers want one China.

As if a virus really needed administrator access for anything... Maybe to fuck up your machine... but if they want to snoop on your passwords, encrypt your files, mine bitcoin, participate in a DoS attack... they can do that without elevati

What's your plan to wind down Tumblr?

I see your point, but in this case they are blacklisting domains by hand because of their content, which they don't agree with. And that is very bad. Maybe it was my mistake, thinking that their organic search was holy, which no longer

So... Google is openly editorialising their results? They were already doing it with the carousel (google "american inventors") but if they are doing it with what seemingly is the list of organic results this is very, very troubli

Both tourism and Python use an insane amount of energy, thus they are equally bad for the environment. But they both feed a lot of people so we can't just get rid of them just like that :/

A guy I knew used to reencode his songs as 16 kbps mp3 files to save space. When I told him they sounded horrible, he told me "no problem, I can always reencode them back to 128 kbps!"
