There are people who wake up and say "I'm gonna get involved in some gossip today". I'm not sure how much the algorithms create this behavior, or just facilitate them doing what they already wanted to do Algorithms don&#

I think the issue here is human socialization and not twitter or technology. People love to play the "did you see what so-and-so said?" game in all its variants, and as far as I can tell this has been true for millenia. It has not

There's little evidence that this is sleep related. There are a lot of people who aren't detail oriented and rely on spell check, for a very wide variety of reasons. If you feel this has impacted your life to the point where you n

Unions cost money, in the form of dues from employees and expenses for the company. It's up to each person to decide if the benefits of union protection outweigh those costs in their situation. So far, for this Amazon warehouse, the an

It's surprising how many people here equate "the Internet" with "social media". It's like having access to 1,000,000 x the Library of Alexandria every day and only being interested in keeping up with what peopl

This is essentially being proposed as part of upcoming legislation in the US. I'd say it's likely to happen, and it probably won't have a big impact

The map is not the terrain. A VR walk through isn't as valuable if the layout of the target area changes. Same with troop locations and routes. Any training or planning use will still come down to quality of intelligence. In general, i

Speaking to the current realities in the United States and not your general sentiment, $22B is nothing relative to the federal budget. Congress is getting set to spend $3 trillion dollars in much the manner you've requested. Infrastruc

If they're paying employees, why make fake accounts? Personally, as a trillion dollar entity, I would pay people to use their real accounts and give me glowing reviews. I would pay $0 for a tweet from an obviously fake account, what&#x

No way a company with the resources of Amazon is using several day old twitter accounts with first google result profile pictures. This is the equivalent of someone spray painting "We hate workers! signed, Amazon" on a wall I don&

how would you respond if people said you were treating your employees unfairly? financial worth has nothing to do with it. if he feels that charge is untrue, he should push back against it. I would not be nearly as measured in my response.

Everything is driven by engagement metrics. When was the last time you set out to read something or have an experience that wasn't engaging in some way? I can assure you that every good author of both fiction and non-fiction is constan

The set of people who need to know the root cause of a problem but aren't familiar with reading logs seems like it might be pretty small. I find that as a developer I only need something that a few times and then I have a sense of what

Twitter is a non-government owned software platform. It makes no sense to use it for exclusive official communications. Because, as we've seen, they can close any account at any time. even the us president Trump in particular basing hi

This is definitely good thinking, though it seems unrealistic. The stuff about AI is just science fiction. We'll see major advances in the next 15 years, but it's unlikely that there will be a compounding intelligence situation wh

Anything that can be a job. Whatever people are willing to pay others to do, limited only by imagination. And just from the definition of money, it's unlikely to find a scenario where people can't pay other people to do arbitrary

if guns are illegal their cost will go up. the cost of the weapon itself, plus the fee for smuggling obvious contraband. It will also be much easier to spot and arrest people carrying guns, as there will be no legal concealed carry permits.

There is no rational justification for private gun ownership. Owning a gun isn't the same thing as having it available and ready to stop a crime, which is why that happens so rarely. If the police can't provide adequate protection

why wouldn't someone just hire a developer to do this? My understanding is that the market for contractors is oversaturated right now. You could probably pay someone hundreds of dollars to write software that interacts with web service
