I have a "blacklist" of colleagues who can't manage their inbox or their time effectively, or who don't respond to inquiries. Also a list of people who are too slow in the cafeteria line. (I will work with those, just won't get in the same line as them.)
You could go back to Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize winning fake news about the lack of famine in the Soviet Union, if you like. There is quite a bit of inaccurate reporting. But the parent's claim of "fair share" is ludicrous. The two sites are night and day when it comes to misleading headlines and articles.
I'm probably crazy, but I found the observation "Accounts that actively spread misinformation are significantly more likely to be bots," quite reassuring.
Remember that "misleading" is also one of the elements in play. A very flexible term to be sure, and technically covers almost any news outlet to one degree or another. But when misleading or extremely exaggerated are the norms, it seems safe to put the site in a separate category.
All this article says is that they found drivers who believed this cooperation would work. Pretty typical of advice you might find in a forum. There was no evidence presented that they actually did cause a price increase, TFA even says "It is not clear how much impact the trick has had on prices. "
An OS exploit is a different thing than an exploit in some app most people ever heard of. All the recent non_petya victims had updating turned on for some Ukrainian software app, that was the initial infection vector. Whomp whomp. Should have had autoupdating turned off.
Umbrella renting schemes aren't the only sharing businesses suffering from problems with theft in China. Last month, shared-bike startup Wukong Bicycles went out of business in Chongqing after nearly all of its bikes were stolen following just six months of operation. Shortly afterward, Beijing-based 3Vbike followed suit.
Also ask why? did all these user update an app which was working fine. Likely they just kept the default auto-update behavior. Stories like this long ago convinced me to avoid updates as much as I can.
In many of these cases, the customer is the VC and the business is selling something to them. Repeat business is hard to generate though, and it's a pretty crowded marketplace.
I'm told they will not come after you as long as you are quiet about it. If you VPN to Facebook and start vociferously criticizing the Chinese government, look out. But they don't care about cat pictures.
I work for a business with offices in China, and the users there VPN into the local office then use the WAN to the US. They could do the same for Internet by using the US side proxies instead of the China side. AFAIK there aren't any blocks or monitors over that path, it's all encrypted by the business. I have always felt the "great firewall" was more about protectionism for Chinese companies than any expectation of a viable information wall.
This is old old news. I remember when "Howling mad" Murdock built a drone out of hair dryers and garbage bags which carried him out of the prison, and that was something like forty years ago.
Maybe some other company could solve the problem using technology. A "tech company" doesn't know anything about traffic or how people behave, it only knows about technology.
Why is call spoofing like this still possible? Way to sit back and do nothing telcos. Hard to believe people might want to migrate to an entirely different paradigm. Does anyone know of an Android app that will silently send to voicemail any incoming calls which aren't on my contacts list?

it's a bit of a catch-22, since they have to keep track of claimed race and gender for government compliance and lawsuit defense.
Eventually you will be boycotting everything and not have any friends, since eventually everyone does something crappy.
probably they had a bad air conditioner fan
Maybe we can finally get a decent UFO picture.

Maybe what we need is peer review of the peer review. Hey, it's turtles all the way down.
And the infamous Bank of Bangladesh "SWIFT hack" (which had nothing to do with SWIFT) got the first foothold via a fake PDF application update.
