Anything that people spend lots of time on, and that gets to decide what they experience, is going to be influential. It shapes what they know about the world and how they feel about it, after all. If you added up all the advertising money

This seems to be a rare situation where the externalities of the company are as big as the internalities. Investors with strong political preferences might take stances that conflict with their financial interest because of perceived politi

The biggest one by far is an entire email user agent. Next is probably a set of tools for my personal website and blog, almost a static site generator. Finally scripts for things like backups, organizing files.

Isn’t it right that there’s barely any hardware at all out there that can run fully foss?

No, because they can benefit even more from recklessness than the expected profit/PR damage. Someone already mentioned Tesla, but there is also the Volvo emissions scandal, Boeing's safety failures, and many more examples. At the

It’s the first real autonomous testbed, and the same software presumably drives all their cars (up to A/B tests). Unlike in traditional hardware, the cause of these errors is very opaque and difficult to understand (at least for us an

To add to your point: it doesn’t bother me so much that the AI system doesn’t share these priorities. What I worry about is that the companies designing them are not incentivized to.

You don't even need to go further, just go sideways. Consider the difficulty of Uber or Lyft drivers organizing together. They don't know each other and can't easily interact at work or via work, unless the company chooses to

My experience has been mostly fine, although I also had some EDID challenges for awhile which I chalked up to my complicated setup. However I also don't mind things like backlight bleed.

Sceptre are 4K but I don’t think they’re high quality.

Funny, the article explains “how”, but I don’t see any discussion of “why” at all.

Not sure that's fair, the ownership of the company was earned in the past. Future work without additional compensation would be for free. I agree that it might be in their own financial self-interest, but it would still be free.

Right? How is Wacom considered an acceptable option after that, especially for FOSS people?

I agree with #1, although also with the person who mentioned taxes can be changed to effectively control who gets how much net benefit. On #2 I think your claim needs evidence or support, I doubt that would be true for the most part (maybe

The theory is just supply and demand, which is how prices are determined in a competitive market. If you give everyone $20k, would you expect grocery stores to raise the price of bananas to $20/lb? Probably not, since people can just g

That’s not how market prices are generally set. Competition and demand keep them low. It might happen the way you describe sometimes but it’s far from a guarantee.

A universal basic income would have some advantages over a minimum wage. Minimum wage interferes with supply and demand in the labor market, which is why some economists dislike it. UBI moves the supply curve to a different place, but it al

According to the article, you have been pushing your insidious critical race theory for 40 years now! We have always been at war with Eurasia.

In addition to good points posted by others, consider that if the problem is people obstructing or interfering with police, they could just prosecute them for that. Calling out videotaping specifically has a nefarious purpose.

1) Cool. I'd add it's really important that everyone knows and believes that you won't insider trade, otherwise they might get scared off of participating. So the perception is important too. 2) Right, so, the way this can go

1) Any thoughts on the conflict of interest? Any insider can easily take advantage of a market like this. 2) Is there any element of a decision market here? Are you asking users to just predict, or help you decide? The incentives change a l

It sounds like a main problem is that you don't have your local drive backed up. Can you address that first?

There's a really important distinction here. (a) An algorithm cannot be named as an author, name the human who ran it instead. (b) A work produced by an algorithm is *inherently not copyrightable*. You cannot name a human as author ins
