Sucks if you speak more than one language, like most people do.

The NDP is a centre-right party. Don't apply the USA's very very right-shifted political spectrum to Canada. The American Democrats and Republicans both would be parts of the Conse…

It was the mouth piece of the Progressive Conservative Party before the merger. It's been a conservative newspaper since it's founding. Historically most of it's ownership has been…

This is a bit wrong for Thailand as it doesn't mention nicknames. Or rules for using the given name vs. nicknames. Unless in very formal context it's normal to use nicknames not gi…

Firefox -- faster, better feature like container tabs, more secure and more private

> Content must be in English (hard to curate non-English). Well this is disappointing. It's no harder to curate other languages. You're just say you don't care.

Protected from what? This a legal action being brought by X, not by the ADL. X is not the defendant so it's not really about X's protection. The ADL hasn't taken any legal action a…

I've used Perforce before moving to Git (and used rc and svn before that), everyone has had the same issues with one team member knowing it better and being to go to person for res…

Correct, because over that size a number of censorship and monitoring requirements come into play. A lot of WeChat's early success was focused around keeping things more private. T…

There is still a lot of people to move over to the ARM side. Most people haven't made the move yet. I'm just about to myself. It makes more sense for them to focus on migrating peo…

Communication is both sending and receiving. If you are only good at sending, you're not a good communicator. You have to be able to listen, both to what is said/written and what i…

Exactly. Communication is both sending and receiving . And receiving it the more important part.

The problem is DuckDuckGo is very USA and English focused. I've switched to it myself long ago, but it's very frustrating when I search for things and it brings up American shops h…

Looks very interesting. Is supporting Tailwind part of your road map?

Doesn't sound like he did anything wrong. Helping to spread technical knowledge around the world is a praise worthy act even if the USA considers it illegal.

> There are actually two timezones that are canonically named "CST", and they're 14 hours apart! Yup. If you say CST do you mean China Standard Time or Central Standard Time? The a…

As much as I dislike Facebook, this feels more part the US' general anti-Chinese bigotry than anything else. Why are Chinese companies being singled out here?

It really depends which country you're looking at. Usually Google Maps is better, but not always. China is a good example of a place where Apple Maps is far superior.
