I think this article ignores some of the other tenants of Amazon's corporate strategy. While Amazon is an online shopping behemoth, they are also expanding in to AI, web hosting and Platforms as a Service, financing, robotics, logistics, and lord knows what else. I think if you want a more accurate foil to Amazon, you should look at Alibaba.

What could be a possible solution to the PIN reset? Security practices say that we can authenticate across 3 ways; something you are, something you have, and something you know. Its obvious to me that the something you know is also known by hackers, and I don't think biometrics are going to be overly popular after this. Does Experian send out a hardware token to all users that request a security freeze?

How much validity is there to the FCC's statement that privacy regulation of the internet should be left to the FTC, and that the FTC had existing privacy regulations?

As others have stated here, this is largely a reaction to globalization and immigration issues that have been present in the world's view. Globalization has left a large portion of each country behind. Large multinational firms have moved a lot of their low-skill labor to cheaper markets and developing countries, leaving a large swath of former employees in their wake with very little perceived hope of finding another job at the same level. Whether you agree with the feeling of hopelessness or not, you have to admit that there is a large population that feels that way. You can't tell them that their feelings or views are not valid and that this is good for the world; their world just got ruined for the profit of others.

Pair this with a large influx of immigrants from other countries, and it scares people even more. The constant threat of terrorism has caused people to live in fear, and governments to react accordingly.

All in all, those are some major parts of the puzzle.

In another comment section (Reddit, I believe) there was anecdotal evidence that visitors from Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland and Romania regularly outstayed their visas and were notorious for violating a tourist visa, hence the additional checks the US wanted to put them through.

Its degrees as a geometrical measurement, not temperature. Its showing the course/angle of the wind at that location.

I think you tried to make a pun but people took you literally.

I would like to point out the figurative middle finger the BBC is giving to NK. The offensive material that they pointed to are still published on the BBC website, even though the apology stated that they'd be taken down.

How many bugs and spiders rely on mosquitoes as part of their diet? Out of all of the ideas in this article, not once was the impact to the biological food chain discussed. We can kill all of the little annoying things, but how many beneficial organisms are being supported by them?

The article also places a big emphasis on people driving to the incorrect locations, hundreds of miles away from their intended destination. To me, this is a user error rather than a system issue. Every GPS system has the user confirm their destination address to keep this from happening.
