> If you buy a cinema ticket for next weeks premiere, do you want to pay now, and have the ticket safe, or pay when you actually go to the cinema.
But you can already reserve a seat at the cinema and if your local cinema happens to screw up on a frequent basis then you'd probably get a reservation instead of paying for the ticket beforehand.
Which hash tags can I try out to see that it doesn't lead anywhere because the content gets removed?
Maybe I don't know enough about what bugs the CCP but I can find content with the hash tags #tiananmensquare, #hongkongprotests or about the social credit system in China, each showing thousands of videos with millions of views.
When a video by "Stopcommunistchina" about Tiananmen Square is the top result when typing it into their search bar, I wonder how bad their censorship algorithm must be to miss this.
> On sustainable energy sources: I, as many other germans, receive all of my electricity from purely renewable energy sources for more than ten years now. 24/7.
No you don't. Just because you pay for Ökostrom or whatever doesn't mean that the electricity you actually use was produced by renewables. It's one grid. You use the electricity produced by coal plants just like everyone else.
> The author cites an article on "wind droughts" and ignores that these go hand in hand with rising temperatures and droughts. Rivers getting warmer and dryer is very bad for nuclear power plants, but if you write a biased article, you don't have to mention this.
So we have one source where these effects (that go hand in hand) cause them to only be usable 36% of the time while with another source they can still be used 80% of the time?
But the question was whether the videos are edited. Are they? I don't know the account and don't care for the content posted but this is a pretty important distinction.
Oh I hope not. Audis are by far the best when it comes to what should and shouldn't be a button and their UI and its options are the best I've ever seen. Use a touchscreen where it makes sense and is _better_ than having a button. Use buttons for everything else.
They've literally raided someone's home because he called a politician a dick. Raided his home, took all his devices and whatnot. It's completely out of control.
Once you create a list of things that can and cannot be said you have that list on hand. You might have the best intentions about what's on that list but it's better to not have that list at all because it's completely subjective what should and should not be on that list.
There you have a bunch of examples. Free speech in the US is restricted. That's the point I was making. You can be okay with the restrictions in place but you cannot ignore that they're there. That's just factually wrong.
I'm sorry, but this sounds like someone who has never been to another country or seen how police works in other countries. I'm of course talking about comparable western countries (which are all way safer than the US, I believe). Instead of looking how the police could be improved you really think it's the people who interact with police?
It doesn't have anything to do with the lousy few weeks of training police get? The fact that they're often uneducated, the fact that bad behavior goes unpunished and everything else that is wrong with the US' system? It's the people?
I'm probably in the minority here but I'm at a point where I'll simply not purchase any service if I cannot use the in app form of payment. I'm just done with everything else. If I miss out on something then so be it.
Have you ever bought an Adobe subscription, ever tried to cancel a New York Times subscription? Or Audible where they say "Well, you can cancel but then we'll also take the tokens you've already paid for"? It's completely ridiculous.
I'm so sick of 14,000 variations on cancelling things, having to click through menus, five hundred different things I have to take care of and all that crap. On iOS I can cancel anything and everything - without exception - the same way and in a few clicks. I like that and it's just something I got used to.
The _average_ life expectancy was 30 but that's because loads of children died at a young age. If you made it past your teens your life expectancy was that way higher.
The headline is not correct. Using CDNs is absolutely ok if there's a legitimate reason to do so. Hosting a font was detemined to not be a good enough reason to send the IP to Google.
> Presumably it would be a way to steal company information such as designs, accounts, and so on.
Does it collect user metrics like a lot of software does or does it actually steal designs? The report is absolutely not clear about this. I have not read many reports like this but are they all like the one they link to? Is that what a malware analysis looks like?
I'm completely behind the idea of calling every single software that collects user data and sends it off to a server malware but this is just not the case. We don't say Windows comes with malware, we in the West call it telemetry data to improve the user experience.
