    The new generation is not only completely superficial, but also clueless about privacy in technology.

    Is it really a thing though? Looks like a flop to me.

  5. Stop-limit orders, as their name suggests, insert limit orders when triggered, not market orders.
    Stop orders, which do insert market orders, are a different order type, and are more common since they're supported by more exchanges.

    Otherwise market manipulation is illegal. I'm no compliance specialist, but that sounds like phishing.

    There is plenty of work to go around.

    Which end do you speak of? 1000 bucks is medium+.

    In the UK, the temperature does not go beyond 30 for more than a couple of days a year.

    How people can die of heat is beyond me.

    People in big European cities don't care about cars or AC.

    How about different men paid systematically different for the same work?

    The problem is that they do filter based on some arbitrary morals, which is bad.

    Those systems should be ideology-agnostic.

  14. I keep hearing about this new UX discipline, how it used the latest research from cognitive science to design the most efficient user interfaces abd how that new approach will make all of our software so much better.

    Well all I've seen from UX experts were massive failures like this one. How long will it take until people realize it's a sham?

    You still don't understand that other countries have their own laws and that the first amendment of the constitution of the USA does not apply there.
    Their laws clearly define what is hate speech.

    Hate speech is well-defined and is illegal in a number of countries where Google operates.
    I hope the reason they banned this application is that they found it easier to implement the same criteria for approval into their store worldwide.

    hate speech is only illegal in certain countries.

    The USA gives the strongest protection for free speech in the world, and as such has no hate speech limitations.

    Google just keep showing that they're more concerned about social issues than technology.

    If you're a smart engineer that wants to push the boundaries of technology and work on bleeding edge projects, Google is not for you.
    Google as an innovator is dead and is the place you go to if you want to retire comfortably.
