How would that fight discrimination anymore than making salaries public?

differentView··on Woman holds up Lebanese bank for $13k of her own money
Some might consider having to Google the phone number for the bank, calling the bank, navigate through the bank's phone system, getting put on hold, and reading a bunch of numbers to the bank's employee a hassle.

differentView··on Apple warns suppliers to follow China rules on 'Taiwan' labeling
The United States government has always had a One-China policy, regardless of which party is in power. Why is this on Apple? Be mad at your elected leaders if you don't like it.

Unless you primarily use your phone with your left hand.

differentView··on China mortgage boycott data erased by censors as crisis spreads
>4. Citizens pay up to 40% of the total price on their own, and ask the bank to lend them the rest of the 60% and get it paid back in the NEXT 30 YEARS (often paying as much as twice as the original price).

So they're less leveraged than most American home purchases of 5~20% down payment. 30-year mortgages are also standard in the U.S. You emphasized "NEXT 30 YEARS". Do you think it should be longer or shorter?

>5. The bank gives 60% directly to the real estate corp. So in fact the citizen IS OWING MONEY TO THE BANK, and not to the estate corp.

That's how mortgages work. Why else would a bank be involved if the money is still owed to the seller? Do you think mortgages shouldn't be a thing, that people should save up 100% of the money then pay in full when purchasing a home?

>6. Often, the real estate corp uses this money to pay back previous loans, or use this money to purchase more land from the local govt. So current (future) constructions pretty much depends on whether this Ponzi scheme could continue.

You keep describing how this works in most places as if it's something outrageous.

>8. ...until no typical citizen will be able to afford it.

We're way ahead of China getting to this point here.

differentView··on Telegram reportedly surrendered user data to authorities
If a government agent asks for certain user data, a Telegram employee does a search and have it on their screen for the government agent to see. How many bytes would you say Telegram has disclosed?
differentView··on Telegram reportedly surrendered user data to authorities
>"To this day, we have disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments."

A very specific way of saying what most would assume means their users' data is safe. Even if it's not an outright lie, allowing government agents to view user data in their office would not contradict their statement.

differentView··on Medical student surgically implants Bluetooth into own ear to cheat in final
Pointing out the flaws of a failed cheating method (he was caught) by a cheater who likely have tried other failed cheating methods ("It was the student’s final attempt on Monday to clear the exam after repeatedly failing it since getting admission into the college 11 years ago.") doesn't prove the cheating didn't happen.

He just appears to be both an incompetent medical student and an incompetent cheater.
