Old reddit users are last I checked in the Reddit traffic stats I had access to around 1-2% of active posters, and mobile overall is thumping desktop reddit several times over. By the time New Reddit was launched old reddit wasn't even

Running at higher resolution literally has consequences like higher GHG emissions. So yes I think there is an argument that network neutrality incentivizes waste. Althoughh one could also argue 4k streaming helped prepare the internet bac

Yeah I've been exposed to Pai and the man certainly is more erudite than myself. My view on network neutrality at this point is the companies pushing for those laws were always more of a monopolizing threat than the ISPs ever were. N

Maybe you overcompensate and the bias is actually in the other direction? It's the subperceptual bias that's the real stinker not the stuff you notice.

The first thing that comes to mind is Hirevue[1] rating job candidates based on metrics like eye contact. Generally I see this product as automating the process of discriminating against people with autism and see it as deeply immoral. [1]

Working in an office should be taxed to mitigate the environmental cost of such a high carbon lifestyle. Why would we tax people for avoiding paying the carbon taxes associated with the office lifestyle?

Looking at political decisions as being as simple as just going with yea/nay opinion polls is overly simplistic. Those polls don't distinguish between voters who really care about an issue and hardly care about an issue. They do
