I've used Ghostery for several years and liked it's blocking of trackers.
Very recently DuckDuckGo has made available their Privacy Essentials and it seems to block more trackers than Ghostery does.
Plus I'd give more trust to DuckDuckGo.
You forget a few things.
First, in the days of protectionism the US was all by itself a large continent with a huge and growing internal market and little export.
Second, the products traded in the internal market were relatively simple, no high tech but mainly locally available commodities.
Third, in those years the main import of the US was people and this increase in population drove the market.
The biggest growth spurt of the US economy took off after the 2nd WW when trade with Japan and Europe was opened and these nations were supported to recover from the destruction of war.
This proved to be of benefit for both sides and there is no reason to believe this period of international economic expansion has now turned against either the US or it's partners.
You got a point.
Trump is talking about charging for cheap hi-tech from China and imposing a 25% tariff on cars.
The cars are lo-tech and manufactured by the Chinese, the hi-tech stuff is manufactured in China but designed and sold by US corporations.
So who is going to suffer from the hi-tech tariffs?
You just explained the difference between a politician with economical (and diplomatic) sense and Trump.
The diplomat would have send and envoy to China and publicly suggested they lower their duties on American imports.
Behind closed doors he would have added that otherwise the US would implement reciprocal tariffs.
It would have taken a few weeks or months but China would not feel like they were being raped and saving face is a BIG thing in the Far East.
Now the Chinese will be forced to save their face in ways unpleasant for both sides.
My problem is I never made a FB account, they did it for me.
Years ago they send me a mail inviting me to join my friends and family on FB.
Due to EU legislation they had to offer me the ability to unsubscribe from their annoying mail but rest assured, they still have my data.
How they got it, including my mail address?
Stupid 'friends and family' uploaded their address books to FB.
So now I wonder if EU law is strong enough to not only delete my unwanted and never used account but to also force FB to remove my mail address etc. from the uploaded address books.
Uh?
I know there are sites allowing you to log in with FB or Google credentials but AFAIK there is always an option to have a unique username and password.
I can't possibly imagine anything useful for the users of Facebook that couldn't be done in a better and safer way.
Let's start with good old email and for texting and phoning without leaving a fat trail there is Signal.
If you really insist on exposing your oh so interesting life on the net you can use one of the blogging platforms, for regular text there is usenet.
The statement shows either the age of the writer and/or the place he grew up.
I'm sure with these inputs Facebook could make a nice profile on this person.
But yeah, well after the period of the article there was a time Penthouse went tacky, Playboy was more famed for it's articles.
Some said:)
For years democratic countries in the EU have been calling for proper rights for the EU parliament but until now this has always been vetoed by two large members.
Luckily one of them, the UK, is leaving and only France is left to prevent full rights to the EU parliament.
Don't worry, the EU is much bigger than a few MEP's bought by US media interests.
Additionally, the EU has levels of governing, a single entity like the parliament has only so much influence.
You are 100% correct.
Now it is up to the EU population to put their parliamentarians back on track.
Luckily the EU parliament can propose new laws, they will only be enforced once the EU commission and the member states agree which in this case is very unlikely.
All in all a more reliable system than where one loony president can (even temporarily) upset the world economy single handed.

Using Kinfocenter I saw my CPU is listed as an i7-2760QM
The search for i7-2 brought it up, they call it a Sandy Bridge.
There is an easy to use extension to toggle JS.
Which never disappeared, it was moved to a different part of the menu.

Not to burst your bubble but most 3rd world nation's tend to be highly nationalist.
Indeed, there is the reason they are and will stay 3rd world economies.
What I was saying is you don't have to follow Twitter proper to know what is happening on it.
So you haven't noticed all the main media are parroting Trump's Twittering.
However childish, they *are* the words of the POTUS.
Spot on!
You have to ask?
Just look at the crap Trump spouts via Twitter, it's fodder for a 3rd world war.

you have to login into something via Facebook
Uh?
I know there are sites allowing you to log in with FB or Google credentials but AFAIK there is always an option to have a unique username and password.
Oh yeah, in that case a majority of the 2016 voters were racists because Hillary won with close to 3 million votes over the orange one.

Sounds like you were more into Hustler...
If that were disgusting chance of human survival would be threatened.

Sure, but what is fair about moving the original copyright from a couple of years to now life + however long Disney can milk it?
Because a lot of companies knowingly went for cheap and took a cloud service in the USofA.
Another server failure?
Because I see the indicator says there are 69 reactions yet none show up.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure this new break of privacy would invalidate the new agreements on data security with the EU.
