whats your point? are you supposed to willingly condemn your child to a bad school because of that fact?

not just money but data. the more data they get the better their search results get. and the better their results get the more money they get in a loop. meaning a startup can’t compete due to the sheer amount of data google has

why? im guessing this decision costs them close to 0 dollars to implement so the full payment goes towards their profits?

apple actually did use bing for siri search results up until 2017 when google started bribing them

i like him but essentially he started the podcast with interviewing someone for a class he was teaching at MIT. MIT has some of the smartest people in the world on the faculty or visiting to give lectures, which gave him easy access to inte

i appreciate your response but IMO you aren't addressing the core results or argument of the ICO's investigation. You seem to mostly be accusing them of bias. >>More damning was the finding that Cambridge Analytica wasn’t do

i think almost certainly not. i also tbink we’d have much less political correctness and wokeness

we recently found out that the cambridge analytica scandal was widely overblown and essentially fake news: https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2020/...

my question is how we decentralize it without allowing child exploitation etc. it seems like you need moderation at some level but the second you add it, they have the leeway to abuse that authority for political reasons

they’re scared of hack journalists blaming them if a republican ever wins again. like 2016

i remember during the BLM Riots, we had stories going around that jacob blake was just "breaking up a fight" between two women. when it turns out he had just finished robbing someone he'd previously sexually assaulted with he

so many stories about trump are later proven to be fake or unsubstantiated such as the russian bounties, that he owes money to russia, the steele dossier etc... and his tax returns were also stolen or hacked yet ofc they aren’t censored
585.
by ffggvv 6y ago
they should ban the NYT trump tax return story as presumably those records were hacked or gotten in an illegal method as well. Oh wait, these decisions only ever happen one way... not to mention the countless “russia” stories that have been

that assumes they last forever, which they don't. assuming most people upgrade every few years, i gaurantee their original cords dont last

how does this really help the environment when users will just buy these from 3rd parties? seems like it just reduces apple's emissions but doesnt reduce overall emissions. in fact, other companies peripherals probably have a "dir

i downvoted it because it’s not a dog whistle. people insist on seeing race everywhere. a risky area by common sense is an area with increased violence, regardless of the racial makeup. if you can’t see why somewhere with increased violence

scientists shouldnt be in the business of setting policy. they should report facts and its up to the public in a democracy and its representatives to make the policy. policy setting adds value judgements to facts. ie science can tell us the

that makes sense. though it seems like many companies these days such as uber, palantir etc are actually worth less after IPO than before.

I don't think the equity is worthless. I just think an engineer can work at Facebook with a monthly vest and their equity is as good as cash. An engineer at stripe has illiquid shares that they hope they can convert to cash in 3+ years

why would you work at a company that may never go public and even if it does, already has such an oversized valuation you’ll likely not make much from it? it seems predatory and abusive to employees to stay private this long
