Sure, here's a 40 year survey paper published in a top three economics journal which supports this with data: https://www.princeton.edu/~davidlee/wp/Longrununion.pdf Also I'm not sure what "supporti

That's a non sequitur, the existence or nonexistence of unions says nothing about human dignity.

You don't need a union to go after a company in violation of the NRLA ...

Unions almost never negotiate in the long-term interest of a business, they're collectively overly-short-term-focused cash/productivity drags on a business. If unions were truly long-term focused they'd be negotiating things

What's the principle? I should get anything I want for free as long as I can get away with it? I shouldn't have to pay for anything if I don't want to? Genuinely curious what the principled argument is here.

So pay if you hate it so much. Do you think people make the content for free?

1. lol, wow a bunch of failing EV models whose sales were dying. Can you now compare the sales growth of the Leaf or Ford Focus electric to the Model S, or the later Model 3. The 3, S, and Y all signifiacantly raised the stakes for electric

lol, no I’m just capable of more nuanced thought than “Elon treats employees bad and sometimes says dumb things thus Elon bad and incapable of doing good things”

Ok dad. How about if people don’t want to get called stupid they don’t say wildly stupid things instead.

How many people's lives do you think would have been ruined by delaying the electrification of something that accounts for ~25% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions by a decade or more?

Letting people take risks is not unethical as long as the risk is disclosed. Put your money where your mouth is and throw out all your electronics, which are definitely not assembled by workers who on average make more than the median house

If you look at what was going on in the electric car industry from 2003-2013 (heavy focus on plug in hybrids, very poor sales of the few existing EVs, etc) and compare the marketing strategy of the Model S and roadster to that of e.g. the N

Tesla accelerated the mass adoption of electric cars by at least a decade. Tesla’s workplace safety stats and their rate of progress are inextricably linked. If a 3x injury rate vs similar companies is cost of such progress, definitely wo

If you pull the “we need to have an ethics discussion” card about public data posted on a website you can quit anytime, you’re an insufferable whiner. Sorry not sorry.

by jamiequint 3y ago
The ethics argument is asinine. If you don’t like the rules, don’t use the product or start your own company. Just don’t be an insufferable whiner about it.

You can get mad all you want about people using “your data” that you posted on a public forum for whatever, doesn’t change the fact that you were dumb for thinking that your (not important, unique, or interesting) musings would be protected

Go through the GDPR deletion process if you care that much, will very likely be deleted because the fines are massive (4% of annual worldwide turnover)

by jamiequint 3y ago
Technically, not deleting your data would be a GDPR violation of the right to be forgotten. They could be ignoring that but it would be very expensive if they were found out. Probably doesn't apply to models that have already been trai

You're free to delete your content and your account if you're unhappy. There's nothing it "should" be, it's not your company. Also, it's pretty obvious that everyone was training on Twitter data already be

lol, there are literally hundreds of billions of performance focused ad dollars a year chasing returns. If there is some hidden secret to running high-ROI ad campaigns without using the data that is locked up by Meta/Google etc, it&#x2

What do you think pays for the free and open internet? Or are you just well off enough that you don't have to care?

> Ad value is not intrinsically tied to the extraction of personal data Ad value may not be tied to the extraction of personal data, but it's unambiguously tied to the use of it. Obviously more targeted ads perform better.

Your security is not affected by you seeing bad ads.

by jamiequint 3y ago
Cool, has nothing to do with security. That’s a different point entirely.

by jamiequint 3y ago
This may be true on random-site-X on the internet, but is not true on sites like YouTube, Reddit, Twitch, Facebook, etc that run their own first-party ad platforms.
