Yeah that is true. I guess in the end you still have to trust the site unless it uses the stripe hosted checkout.

Stripe JS uses an iframe for card number which blocks the site from accessing the number. And the only way to access the card number is either a security hole in the iframe message handling or in the browser.

Stock market =/= economy. I think a big part of the gains is that everyone is flush with cash with nowhere to invest since the interest rates are basically non-existant/negative.

Literally ANY content delivery network would be able to compete with google. AMP sites are sites that the companies themselves build for google(could be any cdn) to just cache.

The news organizations themselves gains a lot from google crawling and indexing their sites (which do cost google money) and now this legislation would also require google to pay them for displaying the title/subtitle of their articles. In what world is that fair or balancing out the relationship?

I can definitely see why having soft limits for error reports and views is acceptable and perhaps encouraged. But this complaint was about the soft limit on staff accounts; adding new members requires active engagement which would be a perfect place to inform users that they are going over the limits. And asking for a warning on such actions or a hard limit is definitely reasonable, but they instead chose to just send a warning email knowing that emails could be and are overlooked(perhaps to increase conversion) - which is definitively shady.

But investment bankers are not threatened by expulsion from the country where they've placed their roots and want to live. Which increases the already disproportionate power employers have over their employees, and make H1Bs more prone to abusive workplaces.

I can definitely concede that the NBA is acting cowardly, but I feel like the amount of hate/attacks NBA is receiving is disproportionate. Essentially all global businesses appease China to varying degrees and NBA is being singled out because of their outspokenness on US-related issues. And denigrating companies because they did not speak about ALL issues would simply result in them avoiding all contentious issues. Furthermore, a lot of this outrage feels extremely disingenious which I feel like further justify my "distaste".

Like I stated in a previous comment - our main focus should be pressuring the government and congress where the real change happen. Especially since China would retaliate against any company talking about their issues. Also, focusing on the gov/congress do not in any way prevent the pressuring of companies to do the right thing.

Google not displaying relevant ads do NOT in any way make it less wrong. In your case, there are 2 'ethical' options: use premium or avoid the service. Btw I also use adblock so I am a part of the problem.

Employing your line of thought - noone should condemn anything unless they condemn everything antithetical to their principals/views.

Furthermore, Kerr is an employee and whatever statement he makes on HK would be inconsequential but also extremely harmful to his employer and co-workers. If actual change is wanted then we should divert our attention to the government where the real change happen.

Gab is a legit nazi/white-supremacist site. You trying to twist it to an attack on republicans/conservatives is laughable, unless you think that they are somehow synonymous.

The market is just currently confused and will soon undoubtedly go down. 6.6m this week is just insane. Hopefully we'll see some good news regarding the virus soon.

All instances use shield by default IIRC.

Two minutes hate is not something new, the difference is just how accesible creating and disseminating such sentiments have become.

Wait why would duckduckgo be more accurate because a random site called learntherisk.org is present. This is just confirmation bias.

And everytime I want to change anything at all or see updated data, I'll have to reload the page. JS has objectively made the web better.

You might want to give it a shot. PHP has vastly improved with PHP7

Actually China was designated currency manipulators by Clinton from 1992 to 1994
