People cannot opt out of the tip4commit service, it automatically opts you in.

If that's the case, then you haven't installed any big app since then.

So in the US, math tests are multiple choice AND teachers don't even require the student to write down the process by which they've come to the conclusion?

Both of those seem unusual to me and I don't see how that method could possibly be beneficial in assessing knowledge.

You don't need Flashblock to do that. Firefox itself allows you to set plugins to "click to play".

It's annoying that such articles take it for granted that social network = FB / G+ way of doing things.

It's annoying when people are uptight about something that's merely pragmatic. They're talking about social networks people use and know about.

Including Diaspora, a network almost no one has ever heard about, would be completely counter intuitive. Diaspora simply isn't an alternative for the overwhelming majority of users of active social networks.

The real issue is that developed countries refuse to import doctors.

That's completely ridiculous. Developed countries actively import doctors, going so far as to genuinely trying to lure them by advertising the kinds of salaries they can get.

Countries like Sweden, Norway, Germany, etc. now get significant numbers of their dcotors from abroad. Because their own population doesn't provide enough doctors. Additionally, the foreign ones tend to be cheaper (both because they're paid less but also because you don't need to put them through education).

It's so extreme that in some developing countries of Europe, half the doctors leave for the above-mentioned developed countries.
