I used to do turk when I was in college (years ago). All I did was academic surveys and tests for academic studies. I dont think it was anywhere close to minimum wage, but I had fun and I enjoyed doing it. Some of them will also invite me for follow up studies. I can tell for sure those researchers did not intent to exploit, nor did I felt exploited. It would good beer money.

No, they are and will be.

Amazon is profitable FYI. Any moron that can sell a $1 bill for $0.90 and still profit out of it, is alright by me.

Yeah, plenty of money, if we define an increase of 2 cents per hour as plenty. Do you realize how many executives amazon has, and how many employees amazon has, world wide. It is extremely disproportionate.

It is news though, even though it benefits google. If we were to file away anything that benefits the person giving info as propaganda, there will be no news to publish. How it benefits google is unknown right now, we may or may not know in the future, and there is nothing with that.

No, we didnt. It was symbiotic relationship that AT&T entered willingly. Forcing common carrier rules, would actually infringe on the ISP's free speech. They are free to carry whatever they wish.

Most websites are bloated (looks suspiciously at /.), so yeah it will help. Faster the average the speeds get, the more bloated websites become, unless you choose to browse the slimmed down mobile version.

Google is drawing the line at fake news, there is nothing wrong with that. You are drawing the line at news not made in the best spirit, that is fine too. Just not where google chose the line.

303 references and 1 reference disagreeing with the other, yeah I am not exactly going to side with 303 references until I know more. 303 references vs 0 references disagreeing, unless you are writing a seminal paper, damn right I am going to agree with the 303 references.

Well, GP is a smart person then. He did mention keeping several extra bundles in his shed.

Projection. The thing Trump and Republicans are masters of.

1) You seem confused. Democrats are not anti-big business. What do you think, that breaking up big businesses into medium and small business is part of democrat's agenda? There are big corporations that support democrats, and heads of big corporations too (Buffett is one of the prominents, Schmidt too), and it is not because they hate themselves. They are just fine with nullifying Citizens United and measures that seem anti-corporation to republicans, because it is the sane thing to do and it wouldnt hurt them a lot. Big corporations do support that, as much as you cant believe it. Schmidt likes the Democratic platform.

2) He does support raising minimum wage. He wants low wages, but liveable wages. Buffett is more open about this, than Schmidt. Lot of "big business"-es have come in favor of it. Sorry if this broke your perception of democratic agenda.

There are many discussing the crushable runway tech (which I dont think politically oriented). So the odds of your post being the only neutral one is really bad.

When you use trees to make a point about the forest, dont be surprised if people notice the trees, and something being wrong with the trees.

Nothing about it says people will not be made aware of the problem. It is advantageous for Samsung to make it public in a way they can control and put a positive spin to the recall.
