Everything is noticeably more expensive than it was 15 years ago, though.
What are you calling "extremist terrorism"?
For what it's worth, I remember coming across this claim a couple years ago about AWS on HN. I don't think it's fiction, it's possible that their PR has scrubbed these allegations from the internet.
Huh, I frequently see advice online that says to use VPNs based in countries that are not one of the "fourteen eyes"/"five eyes".
Real answer? Buy proprietary data from social media companies, credit card companies, retail companies and train the model on that data.
Irving Kirsch, psych professor at Harvard, wrote a book called "The Emperor's New Drugs" which argues that antidepressants are basically just placebos. I haven't read the book but I have seen a lot of interviews and…
Facebook will hand over your data to the government without a warrant. These billion dollar companies have become another way for state to surveil us.
They're only subject to large fines if those laws are in place and actually being enforced, though. Companies keep getting away with these huge data breaches in the United States with almost no real consequences.
Internal Family Systems therapy is a form of therapy that uses the idea of different "parts" of ourselves, and postulates that we can heal these different parts of ourselves by accessing an inner source of compassion…
Those hyper-competent nice devs can turn incompetent engineers into competent ones, though, and have such a huge impact on work culture that they bring everyone else up with them too. A lot of incompetence can just be…
>Sugar is the biggest threat to weight loss because the calories from sugar go straight to fat, and the sudden increase in high glycemic index input triggers an insulin response, which makes you feel like a yo-yo…
Military recruitment intentionally targets poor and working class small towns where people don't have a lot of career choices.
That's actually not true, and that's a really big assumption to make without evidence or direct experience. Radical activists today still face state suppression. I know of a communist in Austin who had an FBI file…
Let's not act like the United States was a shining example of freedom and democracy before WWII, either. Slavery, destroying indigenous people and taking their land, followed by oppressive laws targeting black and…
It's a way to check if someone read your entire profile, so you can filter out people who are just looking for a free place to stay. For example, you could hide the word "pineapple" two paragraphs in and ask that people…
Why not take measures that don't impact individual rights, like requiring essential jobs to provide their employees with PPE? Where's the accountability for Amazon and Walmart, that continue to allow sick employees to…
Denmark is also a capitalist country. Social democracy (having a free market while also having nationalized healthcare and a strong social safety net) isn't the same thing as socialism (where the state is run by the…
I don't want any third party to read my messages, including the US Government.
Signal relies on the user's contact list so that they don't have to store signal users in their servers.
That isn't what happens in reality. It's interesting comparing hospitals with universities, since both are supposedly non-profit but make obscene amounts of money. In the past 15-20 years, both universities and…
Governments love having an excuse to increase their surveillance of citizens. First it was terrorism, now it is coronavirus.
If a platform involves tracking huge amounts of personal data and then making decisions off of that data, incompetence makes it more dangerous, not less. LAPD has been using Palantir to track people in poor and working…
The coronavirus gives Amazon an excuse to use to order employees to stay home if they try to organize their coworkers. It's not a coincidence that Amazon only ordered this employee to stay home after seeing that he led…
Who decides whether blue collar workers deserve bathroom breaks? Why do you treat the free market as the sole authority on what working conditions people "deserve"? You're arguing that shaving off a couple minutes a day…
It's a derailment because the people bringing this up aren't actually organizing towards helping homeless men. These two issues, women's shelters and men's shelters, aren't actually in contradiction with each other but…
