I believe so. Big Tech has gained a lot of enemies in governments around the world, and it doesn’t require a lot of technical knowledge to understand that WEI is a way for Google to gain more control. Whether WEI is good or not, politicians

I was in high school debate and I would agree with the poster above you. In general, debates are judged based on the stated arguments in the debates, which makes sense. However, what this often leads to is debaters simply preparing rote res

The trouble is that it ignores the very thing that debate is trying to teach: the ability to sympathize with, understand, and argue for a position even if you don’t agree with it. It is meant to encourage a greater understanding of the worl

Do you expect voters to switch sides of the aisle over this issue? If not, then politicians have no reason not to take industry money. After all, if you have access to all the campaign and other funds without losing voters, then it would be

Given that the number of people in agriculture declined from 90% to 10% over the past 200 years or so, I'm less worried about disruption like this. People are remarkably retrainable, and just because current jobs no longer exist doesn&

I don't think the association between Mozilla and Slack is as strong as you think. They aren't collaborating with Slack, they are pressuring them to add this feature. If their goal is to make the web better, pushing for companies

Mozilla Foundation is a nonprofit whose job is to make the internet better. Part of that is the subsidiary Mozilla Corporation, which makes money and develops Firefox, but the overall nonprofit can do other things. Think EFF, not Google. Wh

Considering that the vast majority of US cities were built with cars in mind, we probably aren’t in a position to use bikes anytime soon. And this isn’t just about the availability of bike lanes, but also things like the density of housing,

Apple already enforces this, at least to some extent. If you just tell the user “you cannot use our app without allowing us to track you”, your app will get denied from the App Store. Apple is incentivized to do this because they get their

Honest question, not meaning to disagree with you: how do you view previous predictions of the success of AI, such as Marvin Minsky predicting in the 60s that AI “would substantially be solved in a generation”? What reasons would there be t

I would flip this argument around: if the only way to use passkeys effectively is to be locked into a single platform, then passkeys will never take off. Login with Facebook has existed for years now, but not everybody with a Facebook accou

As somebody who has struggled with similar issues, oftentimes the psychological help you need is to de-emphasize the ambition and success. You have to act against the expectation and dreams of greatness, and instead focus on your present st

I don't think the argument goes both ways. People who are heavily invested in AI naturally want to see their investment play out, so they are going to hype up the dangers of AI when pushing for regulation that benefits them and downpla

As someone who rides motorcycles, even low speed collisions can be dangerous. Anything above ~20mph means that you are going to hit the ground pretty hard and then skid, taking off skin. Regular bikes are mostly fine, but it quickly gets da

In that instance, I would say the problem is that the laws around patents are preventing competition, not that one competitor chooses to lock down their system. We have seen that more open systems like Android can exist, so I would expect t
