I think we've decided to solve that problem by driving most of that life to extinction. This will eventually make it easier to explore all of it.

This is all starting to feel awfully similar to the time shortly before the last major bitcoin crash. I've had 2 people who know absolutely nothing about technology tell me of their plans to take out 401k loans to buy in over the past

No offense intended, but given Google's "privacy for me but not for thee" secrecy and anti-leak stance, this kind of makes it hard to take some of your claims at face value. I imagine honesty could put you at risk of job los

What makes you doubt it? We know these companies have people working to exploit psychological quirks/flaws to increase engagement. We also know that ethical concerns are somewhere below the bottom of the list of considerations when cr

I suspect Zuckerberg had a traumatic breast feeding experience as a teenager, and decided if he can't do it anymore, nobody can.

Can minimalist and Electron be put in the same sentence with a straight face?

Most reasonable people would, but I doubt many of the people on this site who directly benefit from the current lack of privacy protections will.

Unlike Google and Facebook and their execs, chances are individuals don't have the resources to be handing politicians millions of dollars and throwing massive parties for them. This is why lobbying is a problem, and rarely something

Agreeing to work on mass surveillance/manipulation tech isn't something highly ethical people do.

I'd prefer credit be given to the people actually doing the work. I think it's an insult to the people at Measures for Justice for Zuckerberg to be absorbing positive PR for their work.

I do, in case you missed that. I don't think we should be giving people credit for PR "philanthropy".

Support the decentralized internet by using the products of a company currently trying to centralize the internet!

I can't help but assume Zuckerberg's motive for supporting this has nothing to do with helping society, and everything to do with helping himself and his future campaign (and distracting people from Facebook's role in Trump&#

I think it's more than fair to expect a company aiming to make the entire world population fully transparent to itself, to be transparent to the media/public. Eric Schmidt believes you shouldn't do anything you wouldn't

You really don't see the difference between a device that records and analyzes the things your children say on the servers of an advertising company, and a TV?

by 659087 9y ago
This makes me incredibly sad. Why are we handing massive advertising corporations the keys to our children's minds?

by 659087 9y ago
Advertisers are probably foaming at the mouth thinking of the data mining and indoctrination possibilities. Today's youth never had a chance. Imagine growing up and finding out that your parents took away your ability to decide whethe

It's not private in any way, and those who think it is are incredibly naive.

I can't help but wonder about the competence of "tech people" who are handing random services on the internet full access to their email accounts to save themselves minimal amounts of time.
