If Facebook can't even attempt to stand by the listings on their marketplace, they might as well just shut it down. It will be flooded with fake stuff & scams. Enforcement doesn't need to be perfect, but they need to at least

"Many of the sellers openly admit they do not have a land title, the only document which proves ownership of land under Brazilian law." In which case, what are they even selling? Who would buy? Even if you "buy", aren&#x

Perhaps web standards & browsers should support it. Most of the reasons why it can be bad are due to it breaking things in certain ways, but that hasn't stopped it from being used. So, add some proper support for it? Some say it&#x

At some point, does it become silly for the biggest companies to attempt their own solutions instead of just buying the one with the most traction or best implementation? One example might be how Amazon never got into self-driving cars them

> "Oh but we can't expose details of our ban process for people to game" Bullshit. Exactly. If that were the reason, they should also make the rules of the platform secret, since making the rules public will result in peop

Rather than continually getting their accounts banned, wouldn't it be easier for them to eventually start responding to the OSM etiquette?

I haven't read the legislation so I don't know for sure, but from what I understand about it, it might be an even better time to start a news media company. Just by publishing, Google are compelled to negotiate with you on the pri

Suppose you find that hypothetical mutation. What next? What would you do to prevent the current situation?

Isn't this mixing things up a bit? This issue relates to their dealings in Australia, whilst any antitrust case is most likely to come from US or EU and be focused on those markets, isn't it?

But then they have fewer ad impressions to sell. That said, since their system is an auction, some level of scarcity does potentially increase their revenue. Maybe they've done that calculation and figured out that they wanted to dump

They are still losing impressions, though? We're talking about getting delisted from Adsense, not Google search.

The crazy thing is that Google even took this action despite it also being against their interests. Sure, your business specifically is relatively inconsequential to them, but they must've made hundreds of thousands of similar mistakes

> Our biggest environmental footprints as individuals are heating and cooling. Having an electric car is nothing compared to it. Isn't Tesla aiming to electrify everything and then use clean energy as the source of the electricity?

I think you're probably being downvoted (note: not by me) because the way your comment is written makes it sound a bit like you're assuming the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is an mRNA vaccine when it's not.

Perhaps there are other problems if you try to make the appearance too much like something still in wide use? For example, companies may believe they own trademarks or copyright over the design elements, and be more motivated to enforce the

That's a really ugly & weird dialog. I realise that some of the text at the top is from the page and the actions are empty (for some reason?), but it's essentially a huge dialog for what will be "copy link" in ~99% o

Is it so black & white? Is it not possible to design an interface that shows the true state but is also indicative of how things should eventually settle?

They've been running Waymo One in Phoenix for more than 2 years already, and driving in Phoenix for about 5 years. It just seems to be taking a bit more time than I would expect, but I suppose it could be that they're trying to ge

Are you trying to imply that's Elon Musk's fault, or that if others can't have it, he shouldn't either?

by jfoster 6y ago
Your argument seems to make sense. If it's the case, though, why are Waymo only in a small part of Phoenix?

You don't need human eye equivalents. Human eyes are probably not the ideal cameras for driving.

by jfoster 6y ago
How about automatic vs manual, or simple cruise control?

by jfoster 6y ago
It's fairly easy to dismiss that argument; the cameras would not be difficult to replace if they are the limiting factor. Cameras are cheap.

Why do you choose to drive a car where you think the people created it are more crazy than competent?

One could also argue that humans are not proof of anything, as humans frequently make mistakes and conduct dangerous maneuvers whilst driving. There are many road accidents occurring right now, today, around the world, as a result of humans
