Employees wages are not made by "inflating the costs of what's being sold" it is though their labor. A piece of steel does not get sold as a screwdriver unless someone's labor has been applied to it. Labor is inherently

To be a business owner is to skim the excess earnings of your workers. It's at best amoral.

So the medium is the only point of contention? If HN supported image uploads you'd argue it shouldn't exist?

But are you arguing that Instagram and TikTok are not competitors? Or WhatsApp and Telegram? Or Facebook and Twitter?

I posted this study to show that it's likely "communist" countries are not lying about their COVID numbers. I assumed my use of the word "these" would have made that obvious, but given these responses it seems not.

What do you think the word factual means?

I've referenced the study twice in about 50 comments, and only in the past 2 days. Not exactly frequently, and I even acknowledge I'm reposting it in the OP. Incredibly disingenuous to assume everyone that disagrees with you (and

These are all points in favor of my position. China has obviously succeeded in defeating COVID, and done so with none of these secondary deaths you're describing (look at excess mortality). All of these "secondary" deaths d

There have been independent studies showing their numbers are, while not perfectly accurate, within the margin of error for extrapolated excess mortality[0]. As I've said in other threads on this issue, it is very difficult to hide dea

Why the quotes around doctor? Cuba has some of the best health outcomes in the LatAm (and arguably the world), it seems like their doctors are of a higher quality than most.

Not OP but yes there are official channels. Best bet of getting unbanned is knowing someone at FB. There are plenty of people at FB that work in privacy and integrity. If all of the ethical people left only the unethical would be left.

Curious to hear if this lawsuit has any significant merit. From my perspective (IANAL), Ohio is going to have a tough time proving to the SEC that FB willfully misrepresented any of the key facts it alleges. I think the most arguable is Xch

Do you not get sick of this being repeated constantly? Every year someone repeats that Facebooks doom is imminent, and every year their revenue and user base gets larger and larger When does this opinion just become pasé?

This is addressed in the discussion of the study they completed. This wasn't a formal survey and shouldn't have been interpreted as such. WSJ were the ones who contextualized this as a valid study. https://about.fb.com&
