You'd have to be lucky though. Unless you are/were an angel (volunteer) you'll have to depend on the ticket lottery. The switch to Hamburg wasn't enough to accommodate the number of participants nor did the switch to Leipzig. It really is a very popular event.

Do the worlds proceeds have to go through the US publisher (Metropolitan Books) or can the proceeds of books sold here in Europe go to Snowden? For example letting a European publisher sell the book in Europe.

WeWork is a huge success...for its founders. Neumann reportedly sold over 700 million worth of shares ahead of the IPO.

For some reason every startup nowadays is the next Amazon or Facebook. Poised to become the market leader in their field of expertise. Most of the IPOs are losing big money yearly but the market is happy to support them with billions of dollars. Actions that would make Warren Buffet cringe but could make money if you're lucky.

This invites startups to take advantage of the situation. To me this is one of the dark sides of our society because the ones at the bottom of the pyramid losing their money are you and me saving for our pensions.

Personally I like the insect idea, just processed so that they don't look like insects. Sorry, save that for a next, more open minded generation. I don't get the meat lookalikes. Is a plate of food without a piece of meat so abhorrent?

The dutch numbers are from 2009, although somehow they claim to be from 2013. Some numbers (from other countries) are from 2019 so what they are comparing are the number in 2009 in one country to the number of another country in 2019. The list is alright but don't put rankings in front of it as it's apples and oranges.

They need you to install their app so they have better control over your device without those pesky browsers with their plugins blocking adds or privacy infringements.

I am not a mobile developer nor am I a web developer but can't Huawei base their apps on web apps?

That would mean they could port any web app from IOS or android to Harmony OS as long as there are no native bindings as react native has. Eventually they can incorporate webassembly when that really gets of the ground.

Somehow it is easier to be ignorant and believe something happens to you you can't do anything about. There's no problem in that, everyone has a right to live his/her way as long as it doesn't disturb other peoples right to do so.

The problem are the troublemakers that set themselves at the head of those sects and mess things up for those who happen to choose a different mindset.

The big companies are collecting and selling our personal data but since we care more about sharing photographs of our lunch, dog and/or holiday we click away all Terms of Services.

Not until congress is void of financial incentives can the US expect a somewhat decent political solution like Europe tries to do. In the meantime try not to act like part of the herd and don't post anything that makes you their product.

Are there sections on ethics and respecting an individuals privacy in there?

I am not familiar with the services all those routers provide to their companies but I am not bringing one online without first slapping OpenWRT on it. Well tested and to my knowledge reliable. Functional for everything I need it for.

Looks like members only content, can't get through the paywall.

In the meantime the short description does trigger the discussion why the US still lets Guantanamo Bay violate the human rights.

I am running Xubuntu 18.04 and unless one is running some cloud image one has little to adjust. I am not even defending (x)ubuntu or over TrueOS. I had been running a FreeBSD Desktop when it was called PCBSD and found it to be lacking very early on.

My opinion is that it is a nice OS for email and browsing but a developer should not have to endure the pain of the constant fight to keep up with tooling.

And non of that is used as an argument. You just yell Ubuntu 18.04 with an unspecified desktop and conclude that you like none of the Linuxes with whatever Desktop and decide without argument that you do like FreeBSD. My advise to you is to be more specific because it still doesn't make any sense.

Send those responsible to court or slap a fine on it but that's not the problem. The problem is that everyone believes what Joe or Jane Doe posts on the internet, no matter who pays them.

Have reporters query (non corporate) scientists skilled in the subject, let the mad blabbermouth era be over and live the life of information again.

US comments are pretty staggering: "We're probably not the biggest problem so we won't do anything."

Let's see how many decades it will take before we all find out that this isn't a country but a world problem.

I thought that that kind of toxic culture just surrounded the political parties but by the looks of it is a basic part of the American (business) culture. If a big company like that has employees like that (i.e. without conscience) we're in for a ride.

Unlikely, probably just DUmB.

The internet Moloch has thrown its weight around and now most of us sheep are using its browser to get tracked daily. I'll hang on to Firefox as long as I can and might move to Chromium (i.e. NOT Chrome) if necessary.

American indecency running wild again. When does that bunch of religious extremists make a difference between social unacceptable behavior and physical lust.

Go ahead with your KKK, QAnon and anti-feminist meetings but keep your tighty-whities on to avoid shocking people. What a sick bunch of religious extremists.
