Much like Vanilla Extract or the variety of other extracts. A Ghost Pepper can be used to give heat to a dish, but its small size will not bring pepper flavor to it. Eating raw Ghost peppers, is like eating baking chocolate, or drinking a shot of Vanilla Extract or Vinegar. Unpleasant by itself but used in the right amounts it adds flavor and/or changes the chemical composition of the food to make it palatable.
Unless such Nationalist posturing gets in the good graces of your political Representative, or just a popular sales claim.
Now it is probably cheaper for some products to be built in America and Europe. Normally products that require a smaller variance in build quality.
For example. Bolts, Chinese bolts are tested to be much stronger then what they are rated for compared to American bolts are, which American bolts are much closer to the rating advertised. Why is that? American Manufacturing is normally much better at meeting the threshold of the designs, and saving money in not provided wasted quality (Why build a bolt advertised to handle 2 tons, that can handle 8 tons when you can sell that 8 ton bolt for more). While the Chinese manufacturing has more variance. Their bolt making process has a variance of 2 tones - 8 tons but they don't have the same controls, so they will sell the 8 ton bolts as 2 ton just because the manufacturing process isn't as tightly controlled. They may loose out on being able to sell the 8 ton bolts for more. but they the less accurate manufacturing process allows them to make more for less.
So why bother asking questions? We will just need to live our lives following whatever conspiracy theory we think is happening. Because either things are exactly as we think, or people are lying about it.
When asked a question, we need to expect a truthful answer. Now truthful may not be correct, or colored for their own self interests. Yes people can outwardly lie, but often those lies will get found out, because the truth is often easier to prove.
I find that most peoples lives are busy enough to try to manage these grand conspiracies. The Illuminati haven't taken over the world yet, because the last century they were stuck in meetings discussing the font they should use for their letterhead.
Hmm a brand I don’t normally talk about... let me google some of these. There we go. Now I will speak the words of the brand.... oh I am now getting adds. Facebook!!!
That doesn't explain why it needs to be assembled/manufactured in America vs China. They may want more control of their process. Having your own assembly line can help this, and often it is actually cheaper to build in America especially if their product has a higher tolerance levels. But it doesn't mean it cannot be done in China and just as well. Mostly I expect it is just a political thing, where they can show they are a solid American company.
If it were ethical, I would expect to have seen there resumes on the desk months ago. Right now these people are jumping ship. That being said. For a lot of employees, it is actually difficult to know when you have crossed the line. Because as employees we get closer to that line slowly, and are rewarded for each we take to waking towards that line. If you are put push back a little bit the Boss normally has a reasonable explanation. Here is a golden age Simpons quote...
Bart: Uh, say, are you guys crooks? Fat Tony: Bart, um, is it wrong to steal a loaf of bread to feed your starving family? Bart: No. Fat Tony: Well, suppose you got a large starving family. Is it wrong to steal a truckload of bread to feed them? Bart: Uh uh. Fat Tony: And, what if your family don't like bread? They like...cigarettes? Bart: I guess that's okay. Fat Tony: Now, what if instead of giving them away, you sold them at a price that was practically giving them away. Would that be a crime, Bart? Bart: Hell, no! Fat Tony: Enjoy your gift.
However they had crossed the line, and they didn't realize it until it is too late. So the best they can do is switch departments and get some credibility so they can swap jobs in a few years, where this problem isn't as clear as April of 2018 but Early to Mid 2018 or further out to sometimes in 2018 or even at the end of the 20teens.
Not the agenda. The Tea Party also used social media to push their agenda and brought in a lot of Republicans into the congress to followed their ideals.
There is a difference between using data that was openly available with links to apps that were open to what they were doing with your data to see that you may fit the demographic that would vote for Obama, and have ads that pop up and say go out and vote for me. Vs. Having apps to trick you into figuring out what political persuasion you are and give you a custom message showing how evil opposition is, not just official running, but how all of their supporters are sub-human monsters. Scheduling rallies for the rightest of the right, and protests for the leftest of the left in the same location just to spur up anger and perhaps get some violence.
Facebook is still selling your personal data. The problem was the wrong people got a hold of it.
I am not trying to hate Microsoft here. It is just that File Explorer is such a small tool. It is like them releasing the source code for the Clock App, or the Calculator. While the applications themselves are not without value, they are easily copied without the need of source code, even for beginner programmers.
There is still the general problem that States can't make money like the feds. However State rights have been hindered by both political parties. Politically I am more of a Whig myself. Where the idea that each state has different needs, cultures, and sensitivities. Each state should have more control of what it does and what laws are passed. The problem isn't too much regulation or too little. But regulations that are passed across a country that goes from ocean to ocean and has multiple climates from tundra to tropical, home to the worlds largest cities, and most sparse rural areas. An environmental law that works for New York, doesn't necessarily work for Alaska. Now with that being said. There still needs federal oversight as some environmental laws just because it may not work for say Pennsylvania it could negatively affect New Jersey, and the people of New Jersey are suffering from Pennslvania's actions.
However in droughts the water company can limit your access to water, so you cannot use public water to fill the pool, or water your lawns. Because while it is a public utility, in case of scarcity water supply needs to be throttled and managed so there is drinking water for the public, and it isn't wasted on the rich who wants a green lawn or a nice pool.
I am in favor of Net Neutrality. However the water company analogy isn't a good one, because water is a scarce resource (in some areas) while data speeds and bandwidth are much less limited then a water supply. Where the ISP just needs to add newer faster switches and routers to meet demand, or slow down all traffic to keep everyone working. Vs. judging the content of the data.
I just don't get why when a video is under investigation they can hold onto the payments for the views, then if found innocent they just pay them back. If guilty then the payments go to the proper copyright holder. I would also like to go further where the person putting in the complaint found to be false should pay the fair use compensation for their troubles.
YouTube demonitization method is Guilty until proven innocent, and you are punished while guilty.
There are people who just get joy out of feeling superior to others. The thing with music, any music if you listen to it enough where you get to a point where you can find the pattern. It starts sounding good. Popular music follows the basic trends so it is easy to get the pattern, with sometimes a slight amount of surprise just to spice it up a bit. It is much easier and enjoyable to listen to, then trying to get into Classical/Jazz Funk fusion with Bluegrass elements all played with didgeridoo, accordion and bagpipe trio. Now this crazy combination can be musical, interesting. However it will take some time to learn how the sounds mix together. And would probably never make it to popular music. Because people, often smart and cultured people, just don't have the time to invest in learning to like such music and will fall back to the familiar.
Now there are some popular songs that I don't like (Normally I classify it as the Whiny Privileged California Girl song). That is Ok, because you don't have to like everything, you also don't have to hate everything either.
This seems more like Microsoft tossing bread to the Open Source community, appearing to be generous, while they are just interested in watching the infighting for the scraps.
The File Manager is something that is relatively easy to make yourself, especially from such an old version. If they were to release the one they are using currently, that may mean a bit more. Just as it has a lot more features that may take a while to catalog and implement yourself.
Why do you think a government can only do one thing at a time? It would be inefficient to allocate 100% of government resources to working on the literacy rate. As there are people, smart people, who will not be good at that topic, but would be good at making a better internet infrastructure for their country. Also better internet can help with general literacy, as still the primary form of communication is via written word.
When one is called to appear in front of congress. The Congress isn't interested in the Truth, they will just try to trick you into saying something criminal.
Their constituents are pissed about this. So I think both sides will be hard on him. The Democrats don't like the idea that Facebook slandered Clinton. The republicans like the fact they can distract the Russian meddling investigation to Facebook and away from the folks in the White House (Granted they are separate investigations) to a Liberal California man.
Politically both sides have interest in seeing Zuckerberg suffer. So it isn't much about any particular facts. Cambridge Analyitica paid Facebook a lot of money, Facebook didn't bother to dig into what they were doing with the data. Facebook put trust into an algorithm, that other people figured out and manipulated to their benefit.
Are we expected to get anything new? No, but congress can parade Zuckerberg around as the ultimate bad guy and make them look like they were standing up for their constituents.
