Google guessed that you would be interested in those articles based on your search behavior, that's their entire business model. There is no conspiracy to push Google's politics on you because it would undermine their perceived im

Almost half of the US gets their news from links posted on Facebook. Let's not pretend that it doesn't have a real, tangible impact on the world just because all you see are baby pictures.

Er, how does that 'clarification' change anything? They tried to end their life , and this armchair psychologist is only too keen to assume that they're overreacting to minor workplace hardships. Shamefully disrespectful, at

Wow, what an obnoxious page header. It takes up a quarter of the screen on my laptop!

Yeah, except wired headphones also have the same "silent failure mode", and they won't roll away.

When I said that it wasn't "working well", I was referring to the epidemic of fake news. It turns out that, for better or worse, a significant amount of the population is using Facebook for its news source. We can say that th

I fucking hate flippant comments like that. A human being was pushed to killing themselves, and this asshole is sitting there pretending as if the reason was because someone looked at them funny.

> why do you want Facebook to exercise even _more_ discretion over what kind of news people see? The argument is that, whether we like it or not, Facebook has become the hub for millions of people and these people share articles with eac

My logical counter was that use of money spent campaigning has almost nothing to do with one's use of money governing. One is related to your ability to motivate a voter base, and the other is about policy-making and apportioning funds

No? I don't see how spending money on a campaign is related to spending money on, say, social security. Otherwise, you're suggesting that advertising companies would be fantastic at government. Like, "They got me to buy Coke,

The bigger problem is that the EC is a winner-takes-all system. If California has 55 EV's, and Candidate A wins by 1%, why do they get all 55 votes? Nearly half the state voted for Candidate B! I have found that the debate on the EC ha
