I love project farm. Love how much rigor he puts into experiment design but still makes it obvious and appreciable to the layman observer. For example, when he tests tape, he does not put the tape down by hand. Instead he uses a roller with

“a link to what the site looked like last week, before Google made me make it worse on purpose to make money.” Sounds like you sold out. You should own up to your agency in the matter. They made me make it worse so I could make more money -

I think it’s weird that governments would regulate a company on behalf of this reason. A bunch of teens got together and decided that some things were social stigma aren’t. I’m sure there’s some schools where you can’t be included unless yo

> Costs me $0.5 to send an image or other MMS > Even a txt costs me if the Android is overseas Sounds like your telecom sucks. Why are you demanding something of Apple. Why don’t you get your government to regulate your own telecoms?

You came into this comment thread without any insight to add or anything interesting to say. You came in just to cast judgement “I feel sorry for people who don’t use Facebook”. In fact it is you who has tied their identity to feeling super

No one is dead on a hill. If anything, not using VR makes you much more "alive". A real misapplication of this metaphor.

Yes, actually, one only needs to be as developed as an adolescent human to understand the basic concept of reciprocity. Reciprocity is one of the fundamental pillars of trust in society.

Here are the words from the bill: (1) CONTROLLED BY A FOREIGN ADVERSARY.— 8 The term ‘‘controlled by a foreign adversary’’ means, 9 with respect to a covered company or other entity, 10 that such company or other entity is— 11 (A) a foreign

I can't speak for 100%. Maybe there's some small fish that flies under the radar (which is not the context of what tiktok is doing in the US). If you look at what Google was doing with project dragonfly (before it was shut down),

No, it's not just following their laws. You literally have to operate through a Chinese owned joint venture company.

People always conceptualize business deals as win-lose: one side got the better of the other and someone was ripped off. In reality, good business is all about win-win or win-win-win. The blueberry producer won. The person who did the ad wo

So give the a reviewer a rubric of things you care about. Race conditions, security, etc. The point is, an image of a gorilla is literally completely impossible and has no relevance. That’s why a security vuln is not analogous

The difference between this situation is that you still committed an action, compared to simply being acted on. A better analogy would be like if you were a bank holding peoples' money. Armed assailants break into the money and take it

History is full of governments overthrown by a dissenting populace. The US itself broke out of the British empire when they didn’t like the government anymore. If they do something egregious, then people revolt.
