All it takes is picking up a different product in the dairy aisle to stop it from happening, why not choose compassion? Pleasantness doesn’t make up for what the calf loses or their mother had to go through.

I think the best thing to try is universal basic income for those making less than X and then slowly getting phased out once you hit middle to upper class is best. People want to work but if the end up not getting enough to live while looki

I heard this discussed in NPR as a reasonable fine because “it hit their profits but they still made money that quarter” and “the CEO steppe down”. How is that enough when so many people had their life totally screwed? It should decimate th

It’s hilarious that people think Facebook could be held accountable. Senators didn’t say we need rules for privacy protection or that any specific response should be made by them to CA leaks, just a vague “do suff better or we might regulat

Okay, but google and Facebook have that sort of information on your audience and guess what, they can wittingly or unwittingly share it with others, which is a huge problem. And it’d be pure naïveté to think the government wouldn’t take adv

Have his actions done anything to show it's not relevant? He lead the company as a young man and is still pretty young. Reckless disregard for privacy has been a hallmark of his tenure.

CC is great and it’s awesome people find it so valuable but an equally important topic to explore is why college is not longer affordable for large parts of the population in the US.

I see why advertisers wouldn't like it, but how the heck isn't it good for users? You don't even have an explicit argument for that point, just the implicit "it might not be adopted." You're a bit disingenuous

You’re implying their ML/AI interefered with Mark’/ dislike button? Bit of a stretch.

Agreed. I think they've pretty much used up their plausible deniability quota for the year, or decade...

I love how any defense of US military history often boils down to, “sure they did terrible things in the past, but we definitely learned from them.” I’m sure people have been saying that for decades if not centuries. Terrible things just ge

I think it's very important to consider the increase in military spending over the past decade and decrease in funding for universities. More and more funding in the military means more funding for specifically defense projects rather

Speak out against FB, people call you a hypocrite. Speak out in defense... we’ll who would be stupid enough to do that. I bet their real play is lobbying legislators aggressively to weaken any potential legislation against them. https:&#x2

Is your argument Facebook allows more dialogue then Goldman or IBM so this is okay?

I thought it’d be clear but I added clarification. Speaking up internally when you’re not on the board often doesn’t get much done. At least if it’s a moral objection.

by marricks 9y ago
How about a company where decisions are shared internally and employees feel empowered enough to speak up, *externally if needed, against what they see as an injustice when internally nothing is done? That shouldn't be too much to ask

Please don't try and spin the term "don't rock the boat." A company that brutally cracks down on leakers and has employees en masse calling them "people without integrity" is the epitome of that mentality. It&#

Do you honestly believe you can’t have both? I’m not saying all data should be public, what I am saying is if what you’re discussing is morally repugnant given your past history it shouldn’t surprise you if it gets leaked.

Conversations where bosses tell their employees we should connect more people and grow the network no matter the cost? You're right we should have conversations about this, but publicly. Facebook surrendered it's right to discuss

I think big tech has it very different, given how much they know about their personal employees lives. Some information should leak within a healthy society so backlash and corrections can occur before an election might be compromised by a

Is this "don't worry we're mature enough to police ourselves"? This is of public importance when Facebook decided to have such lax privacy policies as to allow the CA leak to occur. I think what's good for the publi

The Guardian has a piece that discussed the FB employees reaction to this leak and it was down right scary. Many calls for hiring workers "with integrity" on talking about how this leak was destroying FB's perception as a gre

I feel like every gas automaker has a vested interest in saying electric cars are not viable until X years out in the future. Perpetually. They're making money now on the current system, not much incentive to do anything besides look l

I wish it could be banned. It’s great people like VS code but does it really need to always get butted in?

Yep, that’s the point, avoid all byproducts. I’ve seen more products labeled as veganic so it seems doable and they weren’t too much more expensive than organic bread or what have you.

by marricks 9y ago
This is so true. And for your last point there is veganic farming that excludes animal products in the process. It’s awesome and growing. People love to think of vegans as naive children but most people don’t think anything about their food

It’s funny because all spices are plants. So if you, for some reason, wanted to cut out all plant matter you’d be the one with a bland tasteless world.

It’s is it vegan, not is it allergen okay. I think blacklist is a good tool for that job.
