I believe there are no examples of platforms with any significant reach that can possibly take a purely compliance approach. Speech permissible by law in many jurisdictions is well beyond what is tolerable in public forums - or tolerable in

Seems like your (b) is mistaken, they want them to regulate speech (the "aggressively part let's leave aside) and do so within clear parameters. It seems fairly clear that they are not trusted to regulate the speech but rather e

"Planet Labs ... photographs the whole globe once per day..." This is not an accurate representation of Planet Labs capabilities. I can attest to this as a Farmer's Edge customer. In the theoretical world where every

Legitimate students are being forced to leave the US because of remote classes. Remote classes are not as good as in person classes. These two things are unrelated. If the students choose not to continue their education because the quality

Ok, but what does that have to do with the immigration status of their students?

It seems like the framing is entirely fair. Any reasonable administrative body would look at the circumstances involved in this and do the thing that would disrupt lives the least for the benefit of everyone involved. "So on the one ha

You should take a close look at what the US actually makes and then reconsider this opinion.

The United States of America has a lot of remaining industrial capacity. All of the United States industrial capacity has not been off-shored. The United States of America has about 1/6th of the world's manufacturing output and th

You don't control when, where, and how often you interact with the police in the same way that you control where you live and who your friends and co-workers are. If you are a middle class regardless of ethnicity your odds of being a h

Actually it is only one order of magnitude. But the more important factor is that in most homicides the victim and the perpetrator know one another. On that basis minorities, and particularly middle-class and up members of minority groups,

The problem with even having it well-documented which entities fall under which jurisdiction is that you can just change your mind and fight and lose in the courts later when it serves the purpose of delaying the inevitable outcome. It is o

This is a good example of what I find very funny. Your comment would be an entirely appropriate reaction to, say, the well-documented evidence of YouTube's recommendation engine pushing people toward radicalization - which seems like a

I find it hilariously dumb that people are hyperventilating over what, at first glance, looks like a fairly obvious cache corruption bug of some kind. The Orwellian implications of not showing Churchill's /image/ in the carou

What is wrong with more words? Putting your name to something like this is certainly endangering future funding, that seems like more than just "words".

The proof is in the fact that a once in 100 year event has caused some stress? Of course it has! "are you implying that real wages have grown significantly enough to protect the regular house hold?" The alternative appears at this

The idea that lots of companies and banks were over extending themselves seems unsupported, I think that large corporations were sitting on record cash stockpiles when this hit, no? Also there is no talk of a bank bailout, the banks are sol

This is exactly why I don't understand where people are getting the idea Russia is doing a good job of managing this! That looks like a lot of things, but it sure as heck doesn't look like a lockdown, certainly doesn't look l

Sweden as the great success story when it is suffering the same economic devastation as its neighbors but a higher death rate is an interesting argument. The thing about the lockdowns is that evidence so far indicates that stopping 80% of n

It is not a noble lie to tell people it won't be ok if it really won't be ok. Really, if every jurisdiction in the world overwhelms their hospital capacity it won't be ok.

I am confused by this article, was it that many words to say that "the US will have a strong dollar until it doesn't have a strong dollar"? Isn't the premise sort of undermined by the fact (posited in the text) that over

It doesn't seem to pass just a basic level of consistency with present experience to believe that with no mitigation New York would only have 13.5k deaths when they already have 5.5k+ (and we know many more that have not and maybe will

I think the real point is that your original claim was a small sample that you were extrapolating wildly from turns out to be 10x smaller than you claimed. Furthermore you are focusing on a tiny portion of available data instead of all that

Iceland has only tested 28,992 of its residents as April 6th, so that throws the rest of this conjecture out the window. (Although regardless the conjecture was probably not a great idea.) https://covid.is/data

I am not surprised by the traction, disappointing though. The distance one has to scroll down to find a dissenting opinion is indeed disappointing.
