Seems like a bit of tu quoque fallacy there. It is irrelevant whether other companies 'do worse.' Let's instead just evaluate Google's behaviour as it is.

I disagree entirely with that. I think Apple sold people the idea that what they provide is really cool and 'just works' and that you want to be in their 'ecosystem.' It worked, people bought the allure and then just st

I think perhaps we are in a sad state of affairs when the mere mention of Jews elicits an accusation of antisemitism.

I'm not sure it's clear that the shareholders are the driving force of short term greed or just an excuse for businesses to do so. After all businesses set their guidance and a lot of shareholders would probably prefer medium-lon

Didn't Firefox automatically export them to an OPML file on your desktop?

Probably is a worrying word there...

So in this case rather than just pay cash it's paying cash with a little bit extra for coinbase? Is there any genuine value to justify this extra cost?

So the IRS accept bitcoin or is there a conversion behind the scenes? If the latter, how do you ensure you've actually covered the balance exactly?

Depends which news sources and whether the news is ingested without any critical lense. Ignorantly consuming news can create far more tacit support for the status quo (or opposition agenda based on bias) regardless of actual political outc

I think the most fundamental issue here is that organisations are rebuilding their websites with AMP to align to Google search, when Google search is not the only search product available (much as you could believe otherwise from the discus

I'm now going through a process of realisation that is explaining my struggles with learning to draw! I sit down pencil ready, but no 'inspiration' comes and I can't think of what to draw. I now realise I have not actual

There seems to be constant repetition of the idea that simple == outdated and complex == modern. Many of those classic games may not have depth in complex mechanics or breadth of story narratives, but that does not mean they do not contain

While not a status statement as it used to be, one element is the "I was there" thing: being able to tell others later that you were there for the opening session of X blockbuster/defining movie...

Is there anything you deeply care about currently? Are you optimistic everything in the future brings improvement? While it may seem irrational for people to pine for past things like internet sites/services, it is not the service its

It is perhaps the way you've presented the argument that is generating downvotes, but I fail to see how this is outside the realm of Facebook's pursuits given past behaviour and current activity. Or is it that people would support

By best platform, do you mean actually the best in functionality, capability and experience as per your requirements, or that it's the easiest to start using with the largest exposure? What else did you evaluate?
647.
by headsoup 8y ago
I don't think that's quite true. It is not a straight common sense equation, largely because 'it's free' and so people don't apply a complete value rationalisation to using those services or even understand th

Great tool, though it would be good if you could set rate flow on the items or set quantities, because it gets a little crazy just working off 'events' that perpetuate.

I think maybe you didn't read the article. This is addressed constantly through it. Or are you just summarising?

I agree, I only refer to when a particular event is noted (cherry-picked by the media) that we don't call out the 'smarter' people as a greater loss within that context.

by headsoup 8y ago
I'd guess the point is that saying that a tragic event takes away some 'accomplished' people appears to diminish the loss of the unaccomplished people. So the statement would refer to all people lost in that tragic event,

Why don't Apple/Google ensure AV/Malware protection is a default app? Why do we depend on Apple/Google protecting us from these big bad apps? If not Apple/Google controlling it directly, I'd imagine there woul

Effective for passing a test, maybe, but in my view 'passing tests' (that can be prepared for especially) is well down the list of 'important life skills.'

Already accepted students on first pass are likely not then questioned, so make up majority. The Deny/Check students that are affluent are subsequently 'reviewed' and allowed would be a percentage of the 75%

One example of trolling is when someone posts into a thread a 'truth' while calling others liars, then not providing any evidence of that 'truth' when asked. So either you are trolling, or you'll be so kind as to ac

So Facebook are essentially like an email spam operator here. They have billions of targets (customers), so only have to find a small number of suckers (customer sub-set) to make it profitable. No doubt you'll need to sign up to Facebo

This is the silly thing. There is no objective 'works' or 'doesn't work' that applies to 'the average user' because there are so many use cases and configurations. And it doesn't matter. For a large

I don't understand why they should be blocking this stuff, particularly if categorised correctly. It's not like there isn't a bunch of misinformation and manipulation in mainstream media anyway. Why not instead stop assuming

While that is somewhat true, it's far more complex than that correlation. We must understand why social media is a negative environment and not just state that it is bad as an idea. Advertising, influencing, addiction, social breakdow
