Calling it "blaming society" makes this pretty funny, like when Manson did it and the kid in the Suicidal Tendencies song does it when his mom won't bring him a Pepsi. Facebook's self-serving algorithms are of course a s

Well social media for example is mostly not in my life, but it still has an effect, which is to turn everyone else into a shallow-thinkin', slogan-spewin', snap-judgin', twitchy, goldfish-attention-span-havin', narcissis

Yeah I guess that sounds about right. So it's almost a pure acqui-hire.

What does Twitter even get out of this? There's no unique technology. It's not a competitor. And there are easier ways to hire people. Is it the data?

The good news is, since it's a feeling, it will fade naturally if you don't actively hang onto it and keep bringing it back to consciousness in order to punish yourself. If you believe the right thing to do was to intervene more d

No, huh? Everybody would rather re-hash all the same boring free speech vs. bullying/disinformation arguments again?

Anyone else marveling at the amount of time/effort/thought spent on this vs. let's say (cliché incoming) curing cancer, or (slightly less cliché but quickly catching up) stopping/mitigating climate change?

As for "irreparably damaging trust," better late than never! It was pretty obvious from the beginning that AMP was going to be an anti-competitive piece of shit. (Though throttling non-AMP ads might be a bit more brazen than I per

I mean, no shit? That's why you turn off Bluetooth when not using it. And wifi too. You don't want your phone broadcasting its presence to every device listening in the vicinity.

Since a bottleneck implies a vessel with fluid passing through, I'll stay with that analogy. There's actually no bottleneck; the pipe is basically the same size as ever. (Actually just slightly smaller because of capacity that was

Thanks, I hate when people try to blog on Twitter.

I don't know why, but my reaction today upon reading some of the quotes was along the lines of, jeez who ARE all these sad, scheming paranoiacs? Obviously Google hired them to be just that, but it's a far fuckin cry from "inn

I'm neither high nor a child, yet I like making and reading jokes. Human beings like them. They reflect well on the jokemaker's creativity, spontaneity, and ability to improvise. They test the reader's ability to tolerate amb

Yeah or for that matter, what about the times when people wrongly thought he was smart?

Good points, to which I'll add, how the heck is he surrounded by so many people who a) give a shit at all, and b) are so willing to let him know they think he's stupid? No one cares or dares in my case. Maybe it's my "ta

There is such a project already in the planning stage, called SuedLink, and consisting of high-voltage underground DC transmission lines from the north of Germany (where it will connect not only to German wind power but also hydropower in N

Yeah I badly want revenge on the whole industry, or at least a way of banishing them from my life forever, but the local maximum I've attained thus far is to buy bottles of ink, drill small holes in the top of the cartridges, inject in

None of those are unfixable problems at the FAA though. It all just boils down to a hiring problem. (If there were a will to actually have a functioning government.)

Sounds like you got a bad battery and would've qualified for a free replacement. Or a free rake. I can mow for over an hour on a 3-hour charge.

Landscaping companies will pass their transition costs on to their (generally rich-ish and/or corporate) customers, who have been benefiting disproportionately from what is essentially a commons, for a long time. The majority of peopl

It fosters confirmation bias. You will tend to find whatever you're looking for.

The suckiness of being poor is a viewpoint already represented on the thread. Yeah sure, but also: my point. Repetition of yours would seem to indicate you would like only one of the two to be true, but they're both true, or as close a

There's a lack of empathy and imagination in this comment, not to mention no appreciation for irony. Is it so hard to imagine that someone's mental environment can turn paradise into hell? Or for that matter, hell into paradise?

Yeah I thought it was going to be that too. They certainly have the data for it. Although that model would probably predict that almost every site just disappears in its future. Speaking of which, to imagine a world where information is ina
