Yeah that's very misleading. You note questions from 1 to 5 then they show you an average of answers from 0 to 4 (you'll never get an average below 1 and of course probably not a linear scale anyway).

We already had that discussion when websites used star ratings where you couldn't rate 0 star...

I guess you already know that if those announcements don't include an earth shattering factorization record it's because they probably didn't achieve anything worth noting.

About footnote, claiming is not the same than telling truth.

A lot of corporations are making their own "laws" (warranty stickers, abusive contract clauses, anti-piracy disclaimers, etc.) and they are keeping them even when they know it's total lies.

Authorities also take what corporations tell them as granted truth.

So even if the odds are in favor of corporations being right (corps are usually a lot of people), don't fall in that kind of trap especially when it favors the corporation or if there are facts casting doubts.

Maybe ID is asked to feed marketing database so they can sell data about you ?

In Europe we aren't asked IDs but usually email/phone numbers and that's for marketing reason (spamming and being able to identify customers cross businesses).

well i think the defense lawyer was a bit disingenuous. I guess the only step should have been to confirm the agreement with the girl, forward it to troll and then tell them you have a license so get lost or see you in court. But it looks like they didn't go to court at all...

A kg of gold is a kg of gold anywhere. So yes if you want to know the value of a currency you need to compare it to something else, USD not being an exception.

"The Chinese government owes the world complete transparency at the Wuhan lab. We need to know how to make virus research as safe as possible." We don't know the origin of covid but we already know how to fix it? That looks biased.

There are still a lot of bugs, features not working at all in windows. So a feature that works but slowly in extraordinary (for most users) conditions is not prioritized.

If you want a bug-free os, you'll pay an extreme price in features or in dollars.
