They certainly don't go on counting pennies
Well, think about it. A mosquito bite seems harmless, while getting torn to pieces by a shark, in a medium where you cannot even run it is scary as hell.
Just get a proper antivirus and it will probably disable the built-in security suite for you
I agree with the main sentiment, but I have made my peace with it. Mainly Java and Electron based apps because they do provide us with a nice thing that was impossible years before unless you wanted to become a digital…
I saw that video and it proves my point. Taiwan is not recognized as an independent country, and the reporter, which is from a Hong Kong network, knows perfectly well that situation and wanted to ask a pointy question,…
There are areas of Colombia that are a sovereign country because they are controlled by guerrillas. The same goes for Russian controlled areas of the Ukraine and Georgia. What makes them sovereign countries with a right…
This is a tough question because on one side freedom of speech is something that ought to be protected and it is somebody's opinion of what means misinformation or not. But on the other hand, if you allow people that…
Germany is the poster child for controlled rent working well for everybody, to the point where it is more of hassle to buy.
That Cold War mentality is getting old already. The world has a lot more to gain if we drop the "my approach is superior" in the process. Russia and China is not filled with demons, and much of the same things they are…
Just give thanks that you did not have to work with the likes of CVS and such.
I started playing around with Linux since Redhat 5.1, and it is amazing that after all these years, some people still don't get it when it comes to good UI/UX design. The fonts look all out of place even on window…
The problem is that after growing up with cars, I went and lived several years in China. I lived car free and the public transit system was actually top notch, but again, having to withstand cold days, extreme heat,…
I live in a place where that is actually a thing, and let me tell you what happens then is that a new coffee shop opens and suddenly a two-lane road becomes a one-lane road. So too much freedom in that sense also hurts.…
Call me the evil polluter, but I'm sorry I still find cars one of the best inventions humankind has come up with, and it could be a horse and a carriage for all I care. But the freedom of having your own horse/car won't…
Stop trolling, seriously. Accept the fact those guys live in a different society than yours. The way they are dealing with radical islam is not very different to what is taking place in Guantanamo and with the kind of…
Didn't you see the news they are making a 1000Kph train?
Kind of similar to North America in a way. And just like the Chinese, you guys don't realize it because as the saying goes, everybody thinks their crap doesn't stink. Sure in the case of China it is a more crude form of…
As a non-US nor Chinese national, I find it interesting how the US keeps creating these artificial enemies. Of course the Chinese are not pro-America but they are very much self-contained and just interested in making…
This is spot on, and I'm going to call it for what it is. Just another way of Google creeping on user data to improve their products. The same way they do with fonts, email, ads, etc etc etc. I for one I'm appalled that…
You definitely haven't been in China. Even when they blocked some VPNs, Apple devices are a million times better in China because it has the official app store. You cannot begin to understand what it means to be forced…
In Venezuela as part of the universal history subject that starts with the Greeks all the way to the modern age, there is no mention of specific bombs but nuclear bombs overall and Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I do remember…
I don't think you know a lot of Chinese people. They use Baidu when they are outside continental China. It is mostly because the search results are finely tuned to local stuff and it has the big plus of not giving you…
Trade barrier? Since when services offered through the web are paying taxes in the places where they are rendering their services. If anything, expect a lot more governments to wisen up, like the US did with Amazon and…
Buy Chinese brands like Oppo, Meizu or Xiaomi (mix 3 is awesome). If you get the one with the Chinese rom Google has been removed to an extent that is not possible by end users or are least without switching ROMs which…
Having lived in the US, I feel the police is non-corrupt and competent, which is a major step from places like Latin America, some places in Asia, Africa or even Eastern Europe. My main complaint is that they are being…
