What about Plagiarism though? That's the main point of intellectual property. If someone writes a song and it's really good. It's about the artist's life, full of personal stuff that only that artist could think of.

I think you’re right. But I think you and the OP are probably coming from different perspectives. Yes if you have frequent scaling issues you probably need the cloud. But a lot of companies shouldn’t have ever have scaling issues and are bu

Why? Isn’t photo storage the thing most people care about for cloud storage? Image recognition and organization is also pretty valuable to most people. It’s only not a good business model now because Google makes all these services free. Th

Images, voice search and text search could be split up into different competing companies. Youtube is the second most popular search engine. That could be broken off of Alphabet. GMail could be it's own company. Google Photos could

Yea I agree. You can definitely disconnect completely from society. I've been off social media for a while and don't really follow much outrage media. But you can't tell your friends and family what to do. They can still

I'm doing great. I'm very disconnected from most outrage media. Haven't used social media in forever. Have plenty of close friends, and family. Successful career. Also working from home today. I'm just saying the outra

You think it's possible to unplug from the internet? All you have to do is to talk to one living person in America to feel the cultural impact of social media and the internet. There is no unplugging. Unless you go start a commune i

Corporations aren't AI. They're just the latest human hierarchy system. It's much more complex than any human system that existed before though. If corporations don't stand by any moral values it's because our cu

It doesn't matter if it changes anything. It's about having principles and standing for something. We're a part of this world, and we have a duty to do the things we think are right. Not everything in life is a god damn util

I don't think his argument was directed at women. It was comparing the person who throws their life away to work against someone that chooses to have a life outside of work. Yes there's cultural context that puts more pressure on

I agree there’s no reason it has to be a corporation. It just has to simpler for non-tech people to do creative stuff online and have others see it. YouTube makes it extremely easy, that’s why they have such dominance.

I think the time is ripe for a YouTube competitor to take chunk of its market share. YouTube has an impossible task of making a video hosting platform for everybody. Kids definitely need a particularly safe space to upload and to have sup

Couldn't agree more. It's too god damn easy to tear someone's life apart online. You don't have to see their face, don't have to know how they feel, or worry about physical retaliation. Social media in its best cas

I don't think values and facts can be so easily separated from each other. You have to value the scientific method to actually believe its facts are true. To me the problem isn't that people mix up fact and opinion, it's more

I like this. I think you have a better interpretation than my initial one. If it is sort of probability based than it can't be right or wrong, just sort of incomplete until we observe the consequences of the action. More often than n

But how do we know that the scout's belief is right? Seems like the author has already come to the conclusion that its always going to be right. Doesn't that just bring us back to the mindset of the soldier? Maybe we just have t

If they did it for iMessage and Facetime they'd capture all chat traffic in America in a week. They'd risk losing the premium status of the iphone, but I think the real risk is they'd start a war with facebook and google. T

I'm sorry! I did misinterpret you then. My disdain for extreme political positions and my annoying desire to be a contrarian must have blinded me. I don't come from the point that all regulation is bad (I swear I'm not a craz

> Social media exists as a way to facilitate communication online over a long-distance, i.e. old friends who now live in different places. That's an optimistic view to hold. If that was the case we'd pay money for the service.

Wow. Now they're proud of putting people into information bubbles. This company is showing more and more how disconnected they are from reality and why people are starting not to trust them anymore.

Reddit has been so much slower since the update. Breaks all the time if you have ad blocker. I'm almost thankful for it though. I've been wanting to kill my reddit addiction for a while and this clunky redesign has made me only
