I guess we've outsourced that task to companies like Apple and Google. Your phone or tablet could be your thin client. You'd serve up the apps that you've bought directly from the developer, install and serve them from your o

I hadn't heard of the "Birthday Paradox" before you mentioned it your comment, but your description of it isn't quite right. It's not that half the people in a group of 23 will share a birthday, it's that there

Not sure why you're being downvoted for pointing this out. She was responsible for "their" home. Not the tens of thousands of households across the empire. There was also a sentence where the scholar being interviewed estimat

I don't think Facebook's "... young, liberal staff" is going anywhere. They have experienced the power that comes with successfully shifting a global organization's culture, mission and product. Unfortunately, there

Do you mean traditional over-the-air television? Because I'm absolutely certain companies like Netflix, HBO and Disney tailor content to influence your behavior. Haven't you ever compared the Netflix recommendations for your accou

It almost seems as if you believe you can't be lied to by the people you agree with. In this case, we'll call them "vaxxers" since you seem to believe only "anti-vaxers" are capable of duplicity.

Does this include those that made claims about the effectiveness of the vaccine that turned out to be overstated?

Well, any ISIS content on the platform could be considered recruitment material. If in the content of the video no crime has been committed, YouTube would not be justified in banning ISIS recruitment videos or any of their content.

A lot of large companies in banking or insurance for example, don't understand or seem to realize they are going to have to execute as if they are tech companies.

Kanban in Action by Marcus Hammarberg and Joakim Sundén is a good introduction. In this book, the guiding principles of Kanban are presented almost like parables as the authors introduce you to their fictional team "Kabaneros".

I'm in my 40s, so based on the American depictions of Australian culture in the 80's and early 90's, that "belief in freedom, mateship and irreverence of authority" matches the impression of the average Australian I

When covid becomes endemic, (and it will) will you still feel that way?

Glad to see you're not getting downvoted for this. This line of thought and information will be dismissed as a conspiracy theory and will follow the same arc as the lab leak hypothesis. Meaning there will be attempts to discredit it wi

Are you referring to Officer Brian Sicknick? He was not killed as a result of the actions of the rioters on Jan 6. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/brian-sic... Google "brian sicknick cause

Not sure why this comment is being downvoted. This is one of the unintended consequences of viewing every unequal outcome between ethnic groups as proof of racism.

Conversations about politics in the workplace only seems to be acceptable if you share nearly identical political views with those around you in the office. There is no true desire for diversity of thought. To me it feels like a way to rein

Since when has sustained rioting been acceptable as long as it's "confined to specific blocks"? It quickly became clear to any rational person that rioting in Portland would occur consistently following peaceful protests and

Then why do you believe right leaning fakes news stories are shared any more often than left leaning fake news stories on Facebook?

Would you be willing to provide me 3 links to right leaning fake news stories published today? The original links please. I no longer have a Facebook account.

The book you might be referring to is "The True Believer" by Eric Hoffer. Published in 1951. It's about 175 pages. If you've ever wondered why political correctness, BLM and anti-racism resemble a religion (non-theistic)

I personally only know of one person that has tested positive for Covid-19 and she recovered fully after about two weeks. Can you tell us more about the people you know that died due to Covid-19? General demographic info, like sex, age, tha

But you see, even if you are a member of an oppressed group, but you, as an individual don't adhere to the ideology of the day, or whose lived experience is contrary to the current narrative, what you say will be ignored or discounted.

You think the phrase "males are not females" is problematic?

In the case of "black lives matter", part of the point some people are missing is why it's necessary to force people to say something that's as obvious as the nose on our faces. We're being forced to chant a slogan.

Why do you need data when you can experience the chilling effect cancel culture has on open discussion for yourself?

If you'd like to see how big of a problem it is, post "males are not females" or "males do not have periods" or "all lives matter" or "we should not be giving hormone blockers to children" to you

It would be wonderful if things actually played out that way. What I'm seeing, are elected officials caving in to mobs with torches and pitchforks. So no, if I think Che Guevara is a hate symbol, I need only muster up a few hundred ind

"The rule does not protect people in the majority". Hmm... Aren't women in the majority here in the United States? According to Reddit, women are fair game.
