It works when you have strict rules on the use of horns and people get peer pressured into adapting to the behavior of their surroundings.

Well not in bulk to its advertisement competitors as you seem to suggest. But as a different revenue stream, data collectors sell the collected information. Don't be naive, of course they do, first customer are governments.

There is no misconception. Meta also sells data, next to selling advertising space.

You can rest assured a company firing you for what they saw while surveilling your work computer will not be so stupid as to reveil this fact. That would indeed be a liability for them. They will simply invent a different reason for firing.

How do you expect an employee to prove their banking actions on the company computer were spied on? I imagine this impossible to prove.

If you think about it this is truly absurd reasoning - they say they want to protect children by introducing this scanning, of course not spy on people, but then politicians are excempt? Why, what could possibly be the reason? They already

An obvious manipulation tactic on the path to abolish cash. "Think of the children!" A better alternative, remove small coins. They serve no purpose nowadays, inflation made them obsolete. They are even more expensive to make then

I see your rational, non-political reply got downvoted while wild, biased speculations did not. This posting rule "Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity." explicitly asks not

Once AGI is many times smarter than humans, the 'guiding' evaporates as foolish irrational thinking. There is no way around the fact when AGI acquires 10 times, 100, 1000 times human intelligence, we are suddenly completely powerl

The universal answer as to why (there is no fair, working system implemented) is, as usual, 'cui bono?' Any strategy to make whistleblowing power-balanced is by proxy heavily undermined by all forces that do not want it. Those fo

Absolutely. We already know why the interest groups focus on the communications, instead of proven ways. Because it is a false flag operation. The topic is used as a vehicle to undermine private encrypted communication.

I disagree and think you are projecting your own emotion onto others and demand them to change their actions according to your emotions, which is an inconsiderate thing to do in general. The condescending tone is inappropriate, I meant no

I have read plenty of threads where completely legitimate comments are downvoted to the point you cannot read them anymore, it is the same for other users' comments. This is not my personal ego trip. (and by the way, I make it a habit

I edited my post - better? My earlier comment was downvoted in record time for stating the same, so I made a new post. What's the reason to have such a guideline? I suspect manipulative downvotes to silence my opinion. Otherwise, why n

Sounds like an excellent story base for a future horror movie: the tree morphs back into the dog, but with strange, sinister superpowers. I'd watch it for sure.

Downvoting my comments does not make them less valid. You could actually test your hypothesis,make yourself deliberately less desirable, then check the reactions and what that does to your self esteem. Some anecdotal evidence from a female

Yes. Female dating behavior is skewed and recruiting is skewed in a similar way. They might actually be related... "Human resources" people are overly female. Maybe they just apply their normal behavior and experience to work?

If viruses could be safely contained, there would be no issue with research like this. The reality is, no true safety can ever be maintained, see the Wuhan Institute as most prominent example. Smart engineers think of ways to make everythi

How could this be used for rehab? Just curious what you have in mind.

I agree. But keep in mind the narrative makes the opinion. If modern media has become masterful at one thing, it is manipulating the narrative and deceiving their readers without them realizing.
