Is it clickbait? It’s slightly provocative but the content seems to live up to it.
She’s deconstructing absolutist nonsense into something less absolutist. It’s almost anti-clickbait.

You’re conflating two things. The BBC is indeed taking it down for copyright reasons. The Indian government is censoring it for political reasons. This post was about the former.

A problem is that lots of lower-education math instructors don't understand these concepts deeply themselves. I think it could be okay if these things were clearly framed as "true for the problems we're looking at, but not universal", but they were typically presented as universal by teachers who themselves don't know any better, and that really caught me up too.

You're misreading. They're not being ordered to destroy crops in order to support the medical marijuana price. They're destroying crops because there was a bubble and they've created way too much supply.
Cannabis stocks were a fad for a while, and I know lots of people who invested in them blindly. The number of legal cannabis retailers is exploding. I live in a mid sized town and there are three more opening this month, and the ones I see always have customers.
The system's hardly failing, some speculators just played themselves.

The best practice is not to build a business that's built on evading the security of the people you're depending on.
Just get into crime if you want to do that.

I evaluated it for possible use ~5 years ago, and found it too unreliable. Their trackers would shut down after some period of inactivity and didn't often seem to come back online for later peers. AWS neglected this feature.

To help bring this nascent community together and incentivize contribution to the platform, a newly created ERC20 token, ResearchCoin (RSC), has been created. Users receive RSC for uploading new content to the platform, as well as for summarizing and discussion research. Rewards for contributions are proportionate to how valuable the community perceives the actions to be - as measured by upvotes.
This is a terrible idea and you should feel bad.

There were many locations who built their own apps that did not follow this privacy model, or used it incorrectly, but for most cases "your location data being put into some database" is not accurate.
