I disagree with your reason, but agree with your conclusion. We've been pretty unforgiving and cruel to both mothers and children for a long, long time.

Google doesn't? Heck, I worked at Amazon, and never more than 40 hours. I don't think it's axiomatic.

I absolutely love my job. I just also love everything else in my life. The productivity difference of 30 vs 40 hours is not that big, but the difference it would make to my life is monumental.

You wildly overestimate the capabilities of AI, while underestimating their cost.

Hard agree with this sentiment. Large companies can wield levels of power that distort the economy, legal systems, innovation, immigration, fair competition, standards, etc. Amazon entering a market absolutely warps that market.

Assuming Starbucks wasn't already enshittified is a wild take.

Right. Oppositional speech is worth keeping. But when oppositional speech is like, "Covid vaccines are made from dead children, so you must not vote for whomever", I start to be like, a whole lot less sympathetic to the idea that

Come off the hyperbole. You don't believe that. I guarantee you you can think of content that's something we should moderate less. What about opposition candidates spreading truthful information. You'd really moderate the tru

I dunno, I've never spoken with a whale to compare notes.

by hungie 2y ago
Whales almost certainly do not feel the same way. They feel like whales about their young. That's not to discount whales: that feeling may be profound and emotional for them. But it's probably alien to the human experience.

You assume that's speech he doesn't like.

Amazon has the market power, legal strength, and willingness to run at a loss indefinitely, as well as the regulatory capture and connections to ensure they cannot be fairly investigated. So if I want to ensure my software is used maximally

The world changes, and we update definitions. There's nothing magical about a group of people in the 90s defining a thing one way because they disliked the politics of another definition. It's all just people making the best decis

Musk is pretty right wing, it's not unreasonable to conclude he'd support other right wing governments and oppose left wing ones.

I mean, Germany bans nazi imagery in media. Many countries ban false advertising. A number consider it not ok to discriminate against people based on their characteristics. Fringe health statements are often disallowed. TikTok just got hit

If you believe X advocates free speech, you have an imperfect view of X or free speech. Maybe they made your political speech more permissible, but they are clamping down hard on other speech. Free speech absolutists should be just as irrit

I'm guessing a "skimmed translation" probably doesn't give you a complete understanding of Brazilian law...

Strategy about complying with censorship requests. He's happy to do so when it aligns with his politics, and makes a huge fuss when he it doesn't. As a distant observer, it seems wild to me that anyone thinks this is about free sp

That's absolutely nonsense. There are many, many examples of democratically run socialist systems in large and small practices. If you've got an axe to grind, do it somewhere else.

I don't know what content was requested to be removed. If the opposition was spreading lies about elections being stolen, that seems like reasonable content to moderate. Not all moderation is bad, and different places have different to

The parent is saying Musk complied with these requests elsewhere without complaint, he's only making a fuss about it in Brazil. It's an odd hypocrisy or shift in strategy.

Try saying "cisgender" on Twitter, of course the guy is moderating speech he personally doesn't like. It's not difficult to observe.

You speak as if there is a divinely written definition for the words "open source". There is not, there's a group of people who have said, "this is ok, this is not". I'm of the opinion that those people have ma

I'm increasingly of the opinion that the definition of "open source" that narrowly defines open source is going to be the thing that contributes to the reduction of open source software. Open source communities are essentiall

Could we, for instance, develop a glucose fuel cell that turns the excess glucose into electricity or heat to remove it? I could imagine that being responsive, and toggleable.

Is Fastmail hitting the point where they feel compelled to add new features on top of a perfectly good email client, bogging it down and slowly turning a snappy, clean experience into a morass because they couldn't just let it be good
