"Just", as if taking tech from a $4,000 card and making it available for $400 isn't an enormous feat of engineering!

Here's the same story from 2017: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/08/08/my-google-... I don't think that makes it less relevant in general, but there's nothing "new&qu

And living in Park Slope is much nicer than living in Millbrae, at least if you're looking for an urban lifestyle with walkable amenities. New York City just has that everywhere, for miles and miles.

>Are we setting the right precedent, because while we all likely agree that things like Daily Stormer and Gab are platforms for truly hateful people...are we emboldening them by driving them underground? Yes. No. I don't find the sl

What if, instead of either of these, we made it clear as a society that advocating violence against or the elimination of a class of people is unacceptable and we gave no venue for that conversation whatsoever?

by jbarciauskas 8y ago
I think we can argue tactics in good faith, while understanding that there is not actually a credible movement to eliminate white people. On the flip side, there are active and organized white supremacist groups advocating for the eliminati

What part is a strawman? That is literally the conversation that takes place on Gab.

It doesn't seem like this scenario should make you nervous unless your platform is a venue for discussing genocide.

Yes. The victims at Tree of Life today were victims of lynching, not the platform on which the lynching was promoted.

by jbarciauskas 8y ago
The US standard for what is legally free speech is absurdly low. Why should companies hold themselves to it? Why should they force themselves to support organizations that promote the wholesale elimination of other classes of people?

There is no credible threat against white people as a group. Those who say this generally do so as a way to raise awareness of the very real threats posed by white supremacists, not as a real threat. Taken in context, the distinction is eas

The author here seems to be a bit naive about how free speech really is in the "free market of ideas" model and how much better it is than the "communitarian" approach. His vision where everyone's opinion and speech

This article is untethered from the mammoth amounts of research that's been done specifically on how people learn. The answer to this question doesn't lie in anecdotes about various professors' "philosophy", in fact

The article confirmed my suspicion from the headline, that this was a "failsafe" and on some level at least working as intended. I'm sure there are lots of lessons to learn here, but at least one to be reinforced is the conce

While I value your experience and perspective, I don't believe you speak for all people who are food insecure. There is lots of evidence, given the success of food banks, meals on wheels and other programs, that many would welcome this

TBH it was a quick citation for the general allegation of lobbying and the USDA, not endorsing any part in particular, just noting that it's a real thing.

I don't mean to be too harsh, but you might value your ability to choose less if you didn't know when your next meal would be.

I think this is a bit naive. Badly run corporations find ways to keep themselves alive, it's not like owners and shareholders look at a bad situation and just say "Oh well, we tried" and go home. I think there's a strong

The guidelines created by the USDA have always been and continue to be the product of corporate lobbying, not science. https://www.theverge.com/2016/1/7/10726606/2015-us-dietary-g...

Like any government program, or anything really, it could be operated well or poorly. We can examine what about the proposal might make it hard to implement properly, such as the wide variety of dietary restrictions as well as peoples'
