This made me realize that one reason many of us use cloud hosting is that our home internet is lacking, whether through caps or the lack of fiber deployment. It was easy for Congress to railroad the rights of private property owners and cit

It’s an energy virus and needs to be stopped.

I remember being able to taste the chlorine through the soda machine in Phoenix.

It’s not hard to believe thy existed to foment conflict when you start looking into the private life of the founder.

We debated doing this as an outside service on any platform then creating filters but it’s dangerous as a business because it’s so trivial for Twitter to decide to do it. It is remarkable they haven’t done it. Facebook too.

Since when? I tried to cancel NYTimes and it was an ordeal.

Toyota is not in any way shape or form operating at anywhere near the same level on the energy side as Tesla. When it comes to electric cars and technology, Tesla absolutely is eating Toyota's lunch despite Toyota having been in a bett

Toyota et al are great at press releases and compliance cars. The fundamental difference is Tesla sees these things as opportunities and the old guard sees them as annoyances they have to feign concern for. That's why Tesla is eating t

I think it will cause them to think twice but the only real way to end it is legislation. The FAA was never intended to apply to consumer disputes or eliminate the ability of people to group together to make a claim. It's all a constru

Toyota isn't an energy company. It doesn't develop its own battery technology that applies to much larger markets than automobiles. Not to mention charging infrastructure and self-driving. That's like comparing Amazon to CVS

Pump and hold may not be illegal but it means those people that pumped can’t sell for huge gains.

Everyone should utilize this strategy. We’ve been advocating for it for 6 years. AAA keeps upping its fees. Want to attack the system? Attack forced individual arbitration.

Yes, but that’s not a class action.

And the CFPB had made a rule outlawing it for financial firms and then the Republican senate killed it with the Congressional Review Act.

by dd36 6y ago
False. There’s no way out of a forced arbitration agreement that bans class actions. The courts always defer to arbitration, even when arbitrability is in question. It’s a ridiculous judicially made trap.

Yes. Hedge funds profit from every trade on RH.

Pump and dump isn’t legal.

You said or implied this was a regulated market.

Eliminating dissent?!?

How are these companies regulated?
502.
by dd36 6y ago
This. Regulation would be of harmful misinformation. Arguably, these companies are late in their self-regulation. People were tired of the endless excuses for double standards.

Most of them aren’t in it for ideology but the shared victimhood. They go along with the ideology because most of the donor funding wants the ideology to be Conservative. These people were New Deal Democrats before the civil rights movement

Consequence free speech seems to be what is desired on these platforms. This was inevitable. You can’t monetize consequence free speech. It has to be in dark places like 4chan.

And they’d have to prove it in a court of law.

It’s a problem Facebook is working on. Presumably signals like user reporting but yes, it’s not easy. If someone figures it out, they’ll make a lot of money.

Sure it could happen. The identity verification needn’t be public. Facebook et al have no real barrier to fake accounts.

Transparent. Similar to how Reddit’s comment ranking algorithms are. Only if Google is hosting the content.

Have any of the Sandy Hook parents sued a platform on this basis? Seems like Reddit would be at great risk.

I have a hypothesis: autism prevalence is up because of the “back to sleep” campaign, which babies hate because it massively decreases sleep quality. This reduced sleep quality adversely affects brain development.
