I don't go to my city council meetings, but am still a member of our local community. This is quick becoming a debate over definitions, but I think reddit thinks of itself as both having a community and also as having individual commun

You'd be surprised what percent of reddit visitors just browse popular or don't do specific subs outside the default. Most users aren't super users.

Reddits values aren't the same as yours. This isn't a bad thing. It's not like Reddit has monopoly powers. Some people want to belong to communities that have agreed-upon values.

I just meant desk setup. Context of the photo was a celebration of Alissa Rubin winning a Pulitzer in April 2016.

I agree it's a chess move. But it's also a way for both sides claim victory. Apple doesn't want to change its rules; Hey doesn't want to change how users sign up. I guess I'm saying I'm more optimistic this wil

The madness I want to stop are ads for mobile puzzle games. If I get a button for those then I’ll love FB forever. More seriously, I enjoyed this exchange.

It's a fair question. But it's because the news reporting about it has been incorrect and has often suggested that it only applies to campaigns. That's why. I'm using reporters as a proxy for the public. And also, much o

That's literally the status quo. Yes, I probably favor that over this. My point is three-fold: 1. There's no education about what this actually means. This has been pitched as during the 2020 election, hide ads from candidates. Bu

This is a great point. Will a person who turns these ads off even UNDERSTAND that they're not allowing a Black Lives Matter organization to let them know about upcoming events? How will that be explained to the user? The advertiser mig

I'm sensitive to this, which is why I added those questions to the end. But let me make create a random example. Oil companies will be able to advertise on Facebook and reach everybody. Environmental organizations talking about oil wil

I'm a political advertiser as part of my job and one thing most people don't get is that it's not just ELECTORAL ads that Facebook usually is referring to when they're talking about "political" ads. It's,

Yes, we should demand more from government. However, collective action by workers inside their workplace is also incredibly important. You should check out the Washington Post Guild study cited in this piece, it's quite interesting. Wh

All industries do this. Finance, oil, corporate attorneys, lobbyists -- I can't think of a single profession that doesn't build a myth around their value to the world.

I don't think by "everyone" they meant people who weren't aware of what flash was and users. Just the people who could conceivably be trying to avoid it -- creative types and developers.

I think the way to settle this -- and I'm not taking sides here -- is to look at the original Hacker News reception to this letter: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1304310

OP wasn't specific, but I interpreted it as government threatening action against the company -- such as the IRS opening an investigation of their taxes. But let's take your example, since you aren't the only one who interpre

You should read some books about prison abolition if you're interested in getting all the details about how it would work.

It's probably different people saying different things. First, folks who have been calling for prison abolition, for instance, tend to be anti-gun control because it's a tool that's used to put more black and brown people in

Not sure if you read the article, but different people mean different things by "defund the police." One thing that's obvious is that pretty much every police department is going to have some amount of defunding, due to state

It does seem weird that if I just want a report for insurance purposes, that the people that get sent out to help me get that paperwork carry guns. Edit: What's nice about cops versus, for instance, the Department of Motor Vehicles is

That's my entire point - we'd see leaks if the political leadership of DOL (aka "the administration") were interfering. See my comment.

Not OP, and I think numbers are accurate. But I think "pure cynicism" is too dismissive for an administration that is somewhat open about wanting to keep numbers lower than their reality and fires inspectors general without proper
