This is something I've wondered... Do all Facebook/Google employees drink the Kool aid? Are there no privacy proponents?
Rule-based ad blocking limited to 30k, as stated in the article. That's why people are upset.
Extreme moderation that makes conversation as boring as possible. That's how subreddits like /r/science stay sane.
Because cost is prohibitive.
Never underestimate the power of fake internet points.
Not in America
A consenting adult pays another consenting adult with more experience to do a life threatening task together. One dies. How is this not okay? What are you expecting? For people to never climb Mt Everest again?
The point of the crystal clear rules is to reduce how much the human operator needs to think about what they're doing. Should you teach your workers every legal nuance they need to sell a car (and hope they follow…
Snapchat is not a "dick pic network" and if you've read the article maybe you could understand how someone can have a personal connection to a website, it's users, and the culture around it.
Why would they shut down all their locations at once, losing hundreds of thousands in income, if not for the media and social attention it would receive? Simply put, why close business when these trainings can be done…
The fact that they're doing it all on one day at the same time implies it's mostly about the PR
Sounds like your life has been gracious to give you many different experiences. I think the distaste is mostly from people who've worked their lives in an office job. Yeah it's cake, but are you gonna do it for 40 years…
The fear comes from exactly that. People aren't worried about targeted advertising. People are worried that swathes of their data isn't "theirs" anymore and can suddenly be used maliciously. Sure maybe not by Facebook.…
Wait, what?? I can inject my own Javascript into Google ads? How is this done?
Costs $1 when the same can be accomplished with a native web app. Seems like a quick cash grab rather than "art" or anything.
if you have an extra raspberry pi laying around you can install an ad blocker for your entire network with pi-hole.
I'm an Instagram user that genuinely enjoys clicking on a lot of ads - to buy dumb cheap stuff. Pins, clothing, general apparel gets sent to me and it's exceedingly obvious when the quality of the ads start to degrade…
As soon as those computers are cheaper than human labor, of course it makes sense. I wonder what our idea of low skilled jobs will be in the coming future.
You think they're not working on this kind of stuff already? How many of us have an ez-pass on our car?
Sending a tweet with intent to physically hurt someone, yes. Shouldn't it be?
Not really disingenuous when the point was he was looking at his "watch" and then calling plays. Looking at your phone every time would be an obvious tell.
My understanding is that their objection is to having a black box AI that can make or break a hire. What's to stop them from not hiring anyone because "the box said no"? What's to stop the hiring process from being…
We still have plenty of time.
You're speaking like "Facebook" is its own entity. The first responders will be the friends of the victim who clicked on their video feed. How could the software itself understand what is and isn't self harm?
Are these venture capitalists even seeing a return on their money? I was under the impression that with how much Uber receives and loses, the only people gaining are paid Uber employees and riders getting discounted…
