Lots of immorality is individually incentivized and legal. This doesn’t make it moral. I’m just confused why you bring it up when you’re clearly making a material argument for political change—of course this is immoral! That should be the i

Jesus we need to free this technology from corporate control.

Well whatever we’re doing with half a million homeless is clearly not working.

> A federal program would basically mean bureaucrats from these states would be imposing housing policy on the whole country. Funny way to put "providing housing for its own citizens".

You're missing the point—who cares what's right? It's a corporation, not a person. Why feel sad about unfairness rather than focusing on the source of the unfairness—data collection itself, or the regulation that people need

Am I crazy or are you replying to a comment that is a clear example of how knowing someone can lead getting jobs in spite of whiteboard interviews? EDIT: Ahh, didn't see the FAANG qualifier.

Good luck convincing society of that before “deep fake” takes off as a term.

Ngl I view this as a straight up feature—anything intransient enough to go in a thread should go to a more persistent area like a forum. Otherwise it gets lost in slack and is extremely difficult to find later. Slack anxiety sucks; email an

Do you have an example? I can’t make a head or tail of what you’re saying. It sounds like you have an extremely specific metaphysical process you have in mind.

Right, so why are they disclosing medical information collecting if they aren’t collecting data classified as medical information?

by monadic2 6y ago
I don’t think such a thing even registers with me emotionally. It’s a product, not a person.

Sad? You’re feeling bad that a corporation might be judged unfairly? Jesus christ.
405.
by monadic2 6y ago
So what are they collecting that qualifies as a medical record? I don’t know how you could dismiss this in such a blasé manner.

Well, rust is modularizing, so there will be opportunities for alternative backend (crane lift?).

I don’t see what excludes building an application server with a systems programming language. Business applications have maintenance costs that the ORM backloads; it’s not like all businesses need to do this. There’s nothing inherently “bus

This is a lazy justification with little substance that applies just as much to the users and content and voting structure of this forum. The alternative is not talking to anyone or not choosing who we talk to.

Really? Almost the entirety of where I see this is people recording and re-uploading content from tik tok onto Twitter. It’s certainly a distinct communication culture. I mean “Instagram dance” was never a thing the way “Tik tok dance” is a

Yes, the harper’s letter is an excellent illustration of manufactured consent.

The “filtering” that seems to exist in meatspace interactions has many names including “white supremacy” and “the patriarchy” and “manufactured consent”. There’s a rough road to consensus ahead for human culture as long as there’s this atti

Cynically, perhaps this is a sign of confidence that the US will continue to prioritize its economy over everything.

Conversely, active record can’t generate the SQL you can learn in a few minutes in a database class. I’d much rather have highly precise sql serialization and deserialization code and emphasis on minimal client overhead in a systems languag

Well, worthwhile in terms of compile times, which makes sense knowing google’s codebase. Most people aren’t compiling massive dependency trees that can’t fit on any single computer when they push a commit. Anyway in C++ land massive compile

Well, we do know that more people have died to white supremacy since 9/11 than died on 9/11. Not to mention people forget Oklahoma City rather quickly....

I don’t see how TikTok is relevant here. Are we going to intro snapchat next on the assumption it’s going to take off for no reason whatsoever?

The FBI doesn’t appear to do a great job at preventing white supremacist domestic terrorism, so I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

I mean by this logic the food delivery services are also proven not to work based on the ridiculous fees for a commodity service.
