This comment seems to assume that technological progress is cumulative in nature and that we can't go backwards -- it's either the same level as now or will increase. There will be future collapses, dark ages, etc. The question is

Sure they do, but unless you have some evidence this is the case it is just conspiratorial thinking. There's a reason we joke around about saying something is being pushed by "big x" where x = some shadowy group with a vested

I think the issue is that your average Duolingo user doesn't have an intrinsic reason for learning a language -- anecdotally it seems many are just trying to fill their time in a way that's marginally more productive than playing

Play store rules are much more relaxed than Apple's app store rules though. Also, not fear mongering, just speculating -- I look forward to this happening actually! Will finally be able to get an iphone and use software that isn't

Side loading may mean the 99% of people who don't care about privacy will have their preferences indulged, and if side loading becomes the norm then all of a sudden you'll find yourself being asked by your e.g. government or major

I think the trick is really that you need to A) notice if you are a person who engages in activities dominated by your own gender or solo activities, B) figure out how to broaden your horizons without whiteknucking it. I want to stress just

Just to mention one thing that isn't user facing (and therefore not so obvious): Social media companies dealing with user-generated content have to build their own enforcement mechanisms (abuse, copyright infringement, etc.), which is

It may not be, but that's not what's being attacked here. Unless I'm missing the place where tptacek discusses the reliability of this person's arguments?

Why are RN members anti-american?

To be fair the laws those regulators were in charge of enforcing were unjust. A victory for modern day civil disobedience, even if it was to make a buck.

Based on a cursory search... London doesn't even build 20k new housing units per year? Astonishing for a city of 9 million people and growing.

I love this thing! There are few options for light only timers, and from the pictures I assumed it would just be easily breakable plastic junk, but it's actually pretty solidly built.

How are you acting in response to this knowledge?

In this context I think you're pattern matching too deterministically on the term "conspiracy theory". I just read it as "random negative news headlines of the moment". Ironically this kind of poor pattern matching
