Citation needed for that 15% number. Even if it’s true, it absolutely isn’t true for all age groups. Give to 20-29 year volunteers. There were hundreds of thousands who volunteered.

There is nothing stopping any app developer from displaying non-targeted advertising. And there is no evidence to support the idea that targeted advertising is actually more effective.

Oh poor poor Facebook. Someone is finally coming around to turn off their despicable surveillance apparatus. What a horrible company, run by horrible humans.

Prove that hyper targeting is more effective.

The world would be immeasurably better if Facebook vanished. What a cancer on humanity.

Is there any evidence that targeted advertising is actually more effective? People were buying goods before targeted ads, and they are still buying goods.

Christmas, new console releases, new graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia, and a pandemic. Take the pandemic out of the equation and it is still extraordinarily rare to have all of those events at the same time. Weigh the costs of having a ba

Do you speak for the far left? I have seen seemingly infinite demands from liberal Democrats that big tech shut down covid disinformation and election disinformation. Surely you are aware of this. Is it your position that this isn’t censors

For me, Slack has completely replaced internal email. Email is now almost exclusively for external communication and endless newsletters.

If you manage your business through email then your email app eventually look similar to Slack. Folders with rules to route mail to the right place so you don’t miss it.

It can help if you get results quickly enough. And if you trust the results. If I came into close contact with someone who tested positive I wouldn't trust a negative test. If I had no symptoms I'd quarantine for 10-14 days. F

The erosion of the idea of personal responsibility in favor of the idea social responsibility. Combined with a complete and utter disregard for the livelihoods of the millions of people impacted by these decisions. That is before we even c

In March and April we didn't know the risks, and we didn't know who was at risk. Now, we have the data, and we do know. If you are in a high risk category, or just generally concerned, you should isolate. I wear a mask in public

I don’t have any interest. I know what I’m getting and I don’t need approval from an armchair stranger on the internet.

As badly as people seem to want an authoritarian dictatorship, this is still a free country. If I want to gather with my friends, I will. Have you ever considered that people aren’t listening precisely because they have educated themselves

Adults going out to dinner in a supposedly free country? What an absolute travesty!

Back of the envelope they are estimating a little under 2 undiagnosed cases for every confirmed case. Putting our “actual” total around 42 million as of today. I have no reason to doubt this particular study but I’ve seen other studies esti

It’s not nuking the internet. It’s just nuking this horrendous abomination that we’ve created. Just because the internet today exists a certain way does not mean it has to stay that way forever. We can make decentralized financial transacti

If Facebook and Twitter vanished, the world would be immeasurably better.

Yes, they are.

I disagree with the fundamental premise that we need centralized services to have “free speech” on the internet. Eliminating 230 doesn’t eliminate free speech, it eliminates centralized socialization. This is a good thing for the future of

I buy weed from dealers in NYC. It’s all imported from California. It’s substantially more expensive than buying it from a vendor in legal state. I bought six vape cartridges a couple of weeks ago for $250. All that to say, it’s already bei

The auto-aim and recoil control on controllers for some of these games is insane. On warzone it’s basically auto-aim dialed down to 10%.

People have been making these comments for years. Every new macOS release. Except here we are and things are the same. I run whatever I want. Here’s to having this same silly “argument” in 2021.

I am only recently hearing about these things. Taking down YouTube DL and all the twitch streamers having to delete their old videos. Seems like a fairly recent push into being aggressive litigators again.

I’m not actually hinting or suggesting. I am pushing back on coming to conclusions that are not supported by the research. No one is denying that income inequality doesn’t exist.
