    Economics, prestige, etc. It’s worth a lot to China to be competing with the US in social media / Internet stuff. China (and Russia) have been pushing a narrative that the US opera…

    I think part of the problem is if they provide a game, even for free, then they are responsible for the security of that game. Even if not legally, they don't want an article sayin…

    I would have it set so you can either blacklist or whitelist wifi connections. EG if I'm at home, I might want to make it enable but otherwise let me use my phone. Or maybe have wo…

    I don't know about changing tone but I have used Adobe Podcast editor and it allows you adjust the words and rearrange what you said so you can cut "umms" and stuff. I know they ar…

    Just a fun aside: Islam is responsible for the foundations of algebra and the al in algorithm is of the same Arabic root. I'm not an Imam but I feel like if someone wanted to justi…
