You could argue that Facebook isn't operating in a socially accepted framework either, and that this act is a reaction to their assaults. Not to belittle this crime, of course.

Children do have rights. And the parent is waiving their children's rights by putting them in garbage public school.

I disagree with the surveillance bit, but yes parents can be pretty ignorant of their kid's behaviour outside of home.

This was being praised on NPR recently. The young host was ecstatically talking about how the CEO of some company says "we kinda gave up our rights to privacy with the digital age", and that these surveillance measures are able to

It was on Morning Edition on OPB radio at around 7:45-8:10PT (Oregon Public Broadcasting, essentially a glove for NPR's hand). I wish I remembered more about the context.

NPR this morning was essentially praising this tactic.

I don't know what you mean by "accomplish", but it sounds like there's a blacklist being applied.

I mean, there's a substantial effort to developing the gaming platform on Linux. Maybe that's their audience?

A better analogy: Holding the CEO liable for employee misdeeds is like holding a principal responsible for teachers getting into fights or having sex. Or, whatever problems teachers cause

Are you really advocating that we raise taxes with the intention of driving people away? I find that mentality vehemently disgusting. The government is expensive and wasteful, acts in bad faith, disrespects our rights, and steals from us ev

Not single employer in general, single employer in a person's field. That's not an unreasonable concern when a person's field is tech related, and we're talking about less populated areas.

Maybe you don't realize this but there's a homelessness crisis happening right now, partially due to massive gentrification brought on by successful tech companies. You shouldn't pretend that there aren't negative side-e

You make a really great point, and I myself have been victim of losing a tech job that brought me two-thousand miles from home. Thankfully my company gave me a large enough severance to move myself and my belongings back to my home state.

Here's a solution: have tech companies settle in other regions. I know the benefits for being in the bay are substantial, but this problem is entirely brought about by tech companies, not the resident. Employers need to setup shop in l

The US spy and intelligence agencies frequently infringe on domestic and international human rights, and many people would rather they didn't exist. Some people don't even consider the agencies to be constitutional. Your sarcastic

> In my opinion, the main reason for that is that they have lots of other interests, too, and they have more options than men (being less dependent on a good income). Can you explain these three points? I really don't know what you

It doesn't. This is all because there's a lack of women in STEM, and people trying to find out why. If we can conclude that it's society's fault (nature/nurture) women don't like STEM, then we can change societ

So you have enough intuition to criticize this drone toy as being "designed by dudes" and not palatable for girls, but have zero intuition about how the game can be changed so your own daughter would enjoy it better? Do you realiz

I was being facetious. I know women who have real superiority disorders with iPhone vs. Android, and I know plenty of tech nerd guys with the same disorder.

I'm curious, since you know your daughter's personality (and those of little girls in general) better than I do, how would the game be designed such that they'd be more interested? Keep in mind this is coming from a company k

I appreciate the help, and you're not wrong about many things. However I think I'm fairly aware of my attractiveness, I'm just sad the country uses shallow metrics for attraction. This country is keen on glorifying narcissism

Those systems are fun but not practical anymore. Anything you can do on a network connected computer will be faster, easier, cheaper, etc.
