Political stance as protected class? Revocation of 230 under some conditions? Hell of a blunt tool, but the threat of that sort of regulation might sufficiently scare companies into providing spaces more healthy for speech.

Damore? Doubly so if you've actually read his report.

Everyone saying "just build your own lol" is either accidentally or deliberately ignoring network effects and said impact on social media dominance. The government writes legislation, it doesn't build, or build well anyway. T

Strong disagree here. Network effects are king here, and social media is a natural mono/oligopoly. Overcoming this requires the construction of a superior and more addictive product, and the incentives just aren't there for such p

This is basically the same thing as the "deep state" narrative that's popular in right-aligned, just with different window dressing.

Given that exact same choice, if I was looking for a job, I would unashamedly and gladly take Facebook over Google.

There's also the possibility that we're patholgizing normal behaviour. I'm not leaving that out as an option.

I think a major gripe I have with said movements is that they exclusively want the latter, to the point of hostility towards the former. Example: the body-positivity/fat-acceptance movement, which is often hostile to the concept of &qu

That's a pretty uncharitable take of his view. Rather, he seems to be claiming that it's heavily overdiagnosed. Looking at the numbers, I'm leaning towards that too. 9.4 percent of children are diagnosed with ADHD, and that&#

Anyone who thinks rss feeds even stand a chance of breaking the stranglehold of centralised, optimised recommendation systems on the general media consuming public is delusionally optimistic.

The economic case for working at a startup is the risk. High risk of failure but a chance at a big payoff. He's probably saying that it's already accepted that that risk is there if you work for a startup.

Is there any major trend of cancellation for not liking trump /hating trump? The media in generally drowned in its pretty left aligned, so I haven't heard much of that.

Free speech has seen less value to those in control of the cultural zeitgeist. Unfortunately, the American populace seems to agree there.

If you take the title at face value, the lobbyist explicitly states that it is safe to drink. Asking him to drink up is no longer particularly extreme to me.

The core issue here is that getting cancelled may be a low risk, but it's 1: substantially higher than it used to be; and 2: An existential / Severe setback tier event. The fact that the wolves would be out regardless of the verac

Is a claim of discrimination as much of a superweapon of discourse in Dutch culture as it is in the US? From what I've experienced, Europeans are a bit less prickly on such matters.

The clear solution is to test. Look for a suitable district that wants to open up the schools, open them up for a bit and do a rapid lockdown if it instigates an outbreak.

My Indian colleagues themselves make that exact same comparison, even as we're eating it. I'm thus pretty numb to that now.

Man, this is literally the stereotype playing out here of "American lectures x about why something should be offensive to them"

There's no way to get the oral/gun microbiome using shotgun sequencing without also picking up human data along the way. The raw sequence files will contain reads mapping to the human genome, but those are often filtered out in su

The catch here is that this then becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, doesn't it? Report from Well known institution gains credence regardless of quality. This drives down prices not because they were correct, but because of their influ

Not op, but people here don't generally take to clearly misleading data that was presented that way to make a point. The population here is probably sufficiently enriched for data peeps. And I mean this in the least hostile way, though

Maybe to their in group. They're just as hostile to their outgroup/traitors, if not more so than what I've seen on the right. Now, their means of attack are certainly different though.

Interesting take. The blm riots were supported and approved by both the mainstream levers of power (media, government) and continue to be so. They were both larger in scale and duration. The capitol riots were both smaller in scale and, mor
