This has been my experience as well, but even with only 2 accounts it takes several clicks and quite a few seconds of waiting to check all of my email because it's also fragmented with the 'social', advertisement' and &#

I'm curious, are they notified when their ads are taken down? Or does facebook do "shadowbanning" themselves? I'd expect them to do it when nation-state interests are involved, but I guess nothing stops them from taking

That would enforce actual transparency. We can't allow that to happen! Here's how it works: You tells us who you are and what you're looking for, then we'll see what we can show you and what we can't.

I'm not sure about American law, but most of our laws have a term mentioning "... in Good Faith." These two words are pretty spectacularly effective in disarming you from all sorts of trickery.

There's every reason to believe this. The article makes it very clear that the problem is the need by journals, funding agencies and researchers to have a boilerplate value so they can categorize the results as "true" or &quo

Those people don't seem to get how the service industry is about receiving a service from people. Getting your coffee serviced by a human is a matter of status, not convenience and efficiency. If you want efficiency you have instant co

don't expect them to enjoy facts. They just want their cult to prevail. They'd love to delete your "anti-vaccination" comment. Facts that go against their desires are evil propaganda and should be deleted too.

Good point. I'd like to also mention that it is possible for companies like Amazon to "personalise" orders before they are shipped.

Just like many physical and non-physical (software) products, very often, literally nobody reviews/verifies/checks them. Google will learn from this mistake, and next time they'll use a fancy MEMS microphone or a similar te

Another thing to remember is how this is a fact detached from reality. It seems to imply that if you manage to train hard enough, you will have lower chances of dying. But in reality if you are in the "high chances of heart attack&quot

That's right. Bring on those radioactive underwear. We cannot solve your insecurities using gene editing, but we can definitely destroy the lives on millions. Those "Luddites" made sure that your current genes aren't edi

Honestly I don't get how they deem the risk of infection acceptable, especially with leeches of unknown origin. They could carry a myriad or blood-born diseases. They are more than likely to have been used on ill humans before. Are the

Tariffs are supported by both left and right for different reasons. People like Trump represent national/regional industrial interests so they want local production and less competition from abroad. Leftists (in the european, non-ne

Lots of people profit short-term by trading with China. It's easier to make a profit as a middleman with China than as a manufacturer in a western country. I'm definitely left wing, but I applaud Trump for the tariffs. Tariffs are

When biology comes into play, you can see how weak our understanding and abilities are. We can barely simulate small proteins of a few thousand atoms. Accurately simulating an entire cell is (at the moment) in the realm of science fiction.

It also seems like a valid and useful way to slow the rate of propagation of real news. Real news also spread very fast and faster than moderation. The point is, this has next to zero selectivity. It just makes the platform hostile to encry
