He is not comparing China or any other specific country to the US. He is giving his views on where the US could have done better.

Yes, you should read this in the light of him being a successful Chinese businessman, but he is not saying that Chinese people live better than US people.

He is not a neutral source of information, but his views might be interesting to read because of his unique bias. He has a perspective on the world which is very different from most other sources I read.

They get an absolutely insane amount of applicants on the few positions they are hiring for, so they don't have the resources to give everyone a fair chance. They need to eliminate a lot of people without spending too much time on them.

An applicant who is an expert on gaming their system is probably scary to allow into the system.

They are both offering hosting of websites. They are absolutely a publishing platform.

What was the problem with awarding it to Kissinger? Generally curious? I don't recall the details, but as far as I understood he pretty much laid down the foundation to end the Vietnam war.

He was awarded the price for his use of diplomacy instead of provoking more new wars. There was a lot of controversy regarding the decision, but to say that it lost all credibility is simply not true.

Police in Norway is absolutely allowed to break the law to be able to catch the real culprits and not just the visible parts of criminal networks.

Here [1] is a case from April where the police imported 12 kg of cocaine as part of a deal with a man trying to smuggle the cocaine. The result was that they got the whole cell of Albanian smugglers and not just their german scapegoat.

ublock only blocks known trackers or obvious ones, so it doesn't do anything to protect against potential browser exploits Kim could be running.

That being said, I doubt North Korea is sitting on too many unknown browser exploits.

Their pictogram of a phone in 2016 is a rotary phone.

I love the emoji state storage and sharing

Interesting to be able to play with a limitless stack of filters.

What you are describing is a problem that exists only in the domain of Googles DMCA handling policies. The Yelp issue is in the domain of US law.

The price of new technology can be much higher than the conventional alternative. Products, where the higher energy density battery allows for the manufacturer to make the money back through higher volumes or price, will start switching over.

Really not an issue with second cousins. Second cousins are genetically different enough that issues with the children are just barely more common in non-related couples.

Let's simply refrain from comparing leaving the EU to ethnic cleansing. Ok?

Everyone in a country will not agree upon anything. This is how democracy works, and to me it seems to be working well. 52% got what they wanted while 48% did not.

Then don't cheat by comparing the weight of the motor with starter to the one without a starter. They are comparing two very different things to produce a spectacular head line.

Source on that? Never heard anyone claim the numbers on these motors were fake before.

Modern Bluetooth devices, including all smart phones running Windows, iOS or Android, does not use static addresses that can be used as a signature to track you.

Instead, they use private resolvable keys for all handshakes with devices around them. A new key is generated every few minutes, and only a device which you have previously bonded with is able to resolve your key through data exchanged in the bonding process.

Out of interest: What is the correct way to sell your stock in your company? What made the way that the founder of InfoSpace did it illegal?

No, but Palo Alto is in trouble if all the teachers, firemen, government workers, etc. start moving to more affordable places. The can't live on technology companies alone.

They are building new housing and renting it out below market price. You don't get a check in the mail.

The purpose of that system is to have more people owning their own home and fewer people renting. It assures that there is a cap on how much of the housing is owned by companies for the purpose of renting it out.

What? No. They are building housing and will rent it out below market price. No one is given a monthly check to spend on housing or anything like that.

If TrustZone itself has a bug, that would require a hardware patch. Luckily it seems that this bug was an issue with the code running on the chip.

With TrustZone, some code is running in the secure domain and can read or write to both secure and non-secure memory. You need to find some bug in the secure code to "trick" the secure code into copying data from secure memory to non-secure memory.

Note that TrustZone is not a Qualcomm technology, but rather an ARM technology. Apple could have gone with TrustZone in their SOC.

(But yes, he is a troll and this whole case has nothing to do with Apple).

What you are describing is the entire field of interaction design. It's not "just some icons and menu colors".

Funfact: reddit.com/r/shittykickstarters/ is larger than reddit.com/r/kickstarter

Do they really present themselves as anything in particular, or does we as users just make up these ideas of what they are showing us?

I can't really seem to recall facebook making any promise about being a neutral party.

Why would someone change a single bit in their key anyway? If keys are replaced, the new key should be generated independent from the old ones.
