Ah yes, controversial conversations, we surely should not be letting people have those. Online conversations should be of the government approved variety only. And sending notifications about non government approved conversations? Atrociou

So the argument is that, because Thomas Caldwell posted the word “Inside” on his Facebook during the riots, Facebook is somehow responsible for the riots themselves? It’s trendy to hate FB, but this is utterly ridiculous. Guess what else

Can you imagine the outrage of parents when they see what their kids can see by googling? Bad argument.

I didn't know there were so many outraged prudes on twitch. Why should twitch have a sexually suggestive content rule in the first place? This rule actually seems reasonable: > Nudity or sexually explicit content (which we define as

They incorrectly assumed (like much of the media) that this update was about sharing data of personal messages with Facebook, when it is in fact not.

This is a blatantly false characterization. Uber workers can decide when and how to work.

The story is that major Chinese companies and the state are working together to develop an alternative to Apple’s IDFA. While aggressively pushing back against companies in the U.S. tracking users, Apple seemingly doesn’t mind having a dou

Can you elaborate on what the documented harms and abuses are, and what the further risks are? People prefer seeing ads that are relevant to them compared to random ads. This is not controversial, it's very much established. Of course,

You are right, and not only that: personalized ads are better for users and for small businesses. I’m ready for the downvotes, but this is very much true.

Apple controls the messaging on the dialog, not FB. It is worded in such a way that >95% of people will likely disallow it.

If you look at the actual data, you will find that black box models are in fact responsible for preventing the majority of abusive content including hate speech and porn on social media platforms. Ban these models and you’d find your favo

This is an incredibly naive perspective. I guess you want to ban search engines, self driving cars, automated filtering of lewd and abusive content (why do you think FB isn’t full of porn? It’s not a hand engineered algorithm), automatic sp

These algorithms are not human readable code. They are massively complex interconnected systems of many black box ML models. I don't understand what clarity people think releasing the "algorithms" will bring. In fact, describ

You think blizzard has the resources, know-how, marketing, and brand recognition to build and successfully launch a phone that competes with the iPhone? That is just short of delusional. You really have no idea what you're talking abou

This line says it all: Goldman highlighted that Amazon representatives have had “30 meetings to oppose SpaceX” but “no meetings to authorize its own system,” which he interpreted as an attempt to stifle competition.

This is a pretty neat idea, but it seems insanely expensive for the network operator. Not only would having a large inventory of spare batteries be very capital intensive, but the swapping stations themselves look complex and expensive too.

The title appears to be wrong. Chewing more increases insulin concentration: Meanwhile, plasma concentrations of glucose (P= 0·024), insulin (P< 0·001) and GIP (P< 0·001) were higher following the forty-chews meal." Does

To play devil's advocate: historically, VR apps like VRChat have had an absolutely massive "4chan" problem. Harassment, bullying, vulgarity, NSFW/NSFL content, viral memes, brigading, etc. The gender disparity is also a

There is something odd about this Ars review. It’s not the normal high quality review I expect from them. There is a lot of subjectivity and plain wrong things stated (like less IR sensors in the controller). The only legit criticisms I pic

Presumably facial recognition technology is only banned for use by city officials, but the title and article are unclear. I would hope FaceID is fine.
