    But what exactly is "white nationalist content"? If I say something positive about Trump, will it already get me banned? What if I disagree with something a PoC says? Of course FB …

    Really? What is there even to exploit, apart from such rather extreme cases as this alleged sex trafficking? You really think the main use of BIG data will be to facilitate things …

    Unfortunately, there is also a lot of uncertainty in buying a "used" home. There can also be issues the seller doesn't tell you about.

    I know a lot of people who can't use a computer or a smartphone, which is also very sad. They never learned to explore and experiment with the user interface. If you explain someth…

    How do you measure the value of stacking bricks, then?

    The incentives should be "landing a government contract", though? So if government makes "landing a contract" dependent on rehabilitation rates, it could work?

    What will earn him more money in later life, though - stacking bricks, or using a computer? Why can't you do both? Did they also study how much you learn about using a computer by …

    What a silly spin. Do they even provide any evidence that "the rich" use less screens? There were some reports about some specific rich people not giving their kids phones (I think…

    So they will create a transgender bathroom for you, but before you enter it you have to wonder if society will accept your choice? I think that is exactly not how it is supposed to…

    So what attributes would mark somebody as not transgender on LinkedIn and so on? I am genuinely curious? Unless they have explicitly stated their gender on such sites? I am degende…

    If hiring was the issue, there would have to be a pool of IT women who can't find a job. I don't think such a pool exists.

    There are many other factors that can come into play. It is simply incorrect to draw the conclusions you do. One example is earning prospects, which might matter more for men than …

    Maybe tech companies shouldn't let journalists tell them how to run their companies.

    Then that's one thing to look at for reasons. And maybe deals can be struck.

    It is fine if entities try to increase profits. Usually competition is the way to insure fair prices. The collusion then might be to not allow competition. In the case of pharmacy,…

    Why exactly, though? If other companies can satisfy the needs of the state, why not prisons? You wouldn't mandate that governments should build their own cars, for example?

    Arguably there is only one customer - the government. So maybe it is impossible in this case to create a free market.

    Unless you compare that to the number of people who became rehabilitated, that is just anecdotal evidence, though. I've heard it a lot, too. But "a lot" means still less than 100 t…

    Why don't they just buy it in Germany, then? Shipping can't be 80$? In fact I just checked, DHL ships a parcel of 2kg from Germany to the USA for 18$, A 5kg parcel is 42$.

    Only after a certain score, I think. Also, not the point of policies, or is it?
