The better the tracking data, the more targeted the impression, the higher the clickthru rate. Crafting tracking consent dialogs in a way that favors one app or the other is going to increase the efficiency of campaign placements that target users of that app, rather than campaigns run by app developers who experience a lower percent of users consenting to track.

And they're welcome, as a business to swallow those aquisition expenditures, or fund their own Canadian content, or not do business here.

The list of developed countries that don't have domestic cultural protection policies is low. The US doesn't have one because of its size (or I'll throw you a bone - HOW AWESOME THEY ARE) - it simply doesn't need one.

Kind of hilarious in light of how pro-protectionist things have swung there. If the US audience started consuming predominantly anime TV, movies, books, etc overnight (purely just because of how good they are, right?) you'd bet your ass US would do the exact same thing.

What you don't get is that French is useful for many people - it just wasn't useful for you - and you project that because to you, personal experience is reality. Calling Mandarin, Spanish, Hindi, and Arabic more useful languages for living, identifying with other citizens, and employment in Canada is fucking bananas - and I'm married to a Taiwanese woman and speak some Mandarin!! Nothing you've said has changed my mind. Your points are noted, but still remarkably dumb.

so why aren't they given force adoption

I feel like we need a "take Murdoch5 to a real job" day or something. I'd literally pay to sit you down some time and explain how the real world works.

With enough new RVs and other "gifts", SCOTUS will kiss his ass again.

...the younger his brain gets, getting pre-toddler now

Could happen

...pardoning his best.

I wonder if CRISPR provides an "undo" option?

If you ban gene editing in this country, then other nations and private islands will supply gene services to the rich. At least the rich can be our guinea pigs instead of the other way around. (I already suspect Zuckerberg is a test.)

Either way, active gene editing is out of the bag and will gradually become widespread one way or another. (I already have a list of inherited flaws I'd love to fix.)

911 also gets automated calls from alarms, some of which are false alarms.

Just like social media, 911 is also stuffed with bots.

You're assuming he has brain material left.

It's chewy brain-jerky for zombies

Okay, but were other companies blacklisted for similar leaks?

...it acts increasingly drunk over time until it pukes all over your open apps and files one random day, either forcing you to reboot or self-rebooting via crash?

...even more monopolish. If there isn't such a word, there should be, as it keeps happening.
