The replacement programs are known as FACEBOOK and GOOGLE.

How convenient for Zuckerberg that his "learning" program directs children to click links that send them to ad and tracking filled websites. This is exactly the type of "philanthropy" I expected from his "charity&qu

Google is trying to turn the entire internet into their own walled garden.

If someone pulled a camera phone out anywhere near me at a urinal, they would probably get punched.

..and "engagement"-obsessed social media/ad platforms are the equivalent of a guy who hangs out in the parking lot handing out free jello shots to people as they get into their cars.

Many here who work for companies like Facebook probably have blood on your hands as a results of your pursuits to "increase engagement".

I look at this differently. The way I see it, if you default to working for or starting yet another ad-tech/surveillance company, it's a sign that you aren't creative and probably don't have anything original or useful t

How does a rich couple digging themselves an underground pool qualify as progress?

Tim Berners-Lee's Google-funded $1M Turing award sure smelled like a payoff to me. If it wasn't, the timing sure was convenient.

This must be part of Zuckerberg's new pro-privacy makeover. Maybe they can also scan users' e-mails for "suicidal ideation" and have their swatting algorithm send in the police to "protect" them.

Would you be similarly comfortable with ISPs or cell service providers censoring views they disagree with?

I didn't realize the internet or cars were created by the employees of advertising corporations for the sole purpose of furthering their surveillance and user manipulation capabilities. Also, my comment was about people being given awa

"Tech" corporations have successfully conned a large portion of the population into believing that clicking a thumbs up icon under a photo of someone's breakfast or mindlessly scrolling through useless reposted memes qualifie

Bad PR is the only form of communication the "tech" industry seems to understand. Chances are they wouldn't have lifted a finger if you hadn't made noise on forums and social media sites.

I prefer to share things with other people without a corporation injecting itself into the middle of that transaction for the purposes of surveillance and ad revenue.

In order to avoid interacting with it at all, you'd have to check the MX records of the domains behind the e-mail addresses of every one of your contacts, and then stop e-mailing the ones who use gmail. They've gone out of their w

From what I could see when a friend who had set up there dragged me along one day, top knots and brogrammer wantrepreneurs. The feeling I got was that it's the shared workspace version of a "see and be seen" restaurant/

From the article, it sounds like they only started paying them minimum wage after they were legally forced to in 2018. This wasn't something Northwest Center or Amazon decided to do on their own.

If they hire people who have colostomy bags they won't even have to worry about micromanaging their bathroom use.

Facebook was just caught with their pants down after logging passwords in plain text for years. Why would you assume they aren't?

No, I don't. Unfortunately I have no way to force the US to increase the standards people must meet to be licensed, however, so the next best thing would be to stop giving the already terrible drivers on the road even more reasons to

The problem is that many modern driver assist technologies end up causing and encouraging drivers to spend less mental energy on their surroundings. Friends and family members of mine with adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, blind spot

Is not using an ad blocker a conscious decision on your part? I just have trouble coming up with any logical reason for an even remotely technically skilled person to be risking browsing the modern web without one. The only people I know p

I would, and I'm on my second set. Battery life sucks, sound quality is mediocre at best. I have a single use case which makes the lack of a cord slightly more convenient, but I won't be replacing them again when this set dies.

I doubt Bitfinex's volume is real, either. Tether is their fractional-reserve-backed-by-loans-to-ourselves shitcoin.

How many times does a company of Facebook's size get to say "oopsie, we're sorry" before you'll stop giving them to benefit of the doubt? I see this as a malicious disregard for the security and privacy of their us

"Our products are so good that nobody is willing to pay for them" doesn't sound very convincing.
