   Just a small meta-point that betting is a great way for both sides of a debate to tone down rhetoric, engage in dialogue, and discuss objective terms or processes for evaluating a disagreement. It looks like another commenter is taking you

   I don't remember the details but I remember some people were surprised by some of Zuckerberg's comments and thought it could open them up to regulation. Maybe it wasn't the comment about publishing.

   It's also possible that they consciously decided to stop being neutral (e.g. Zuckerberg's statement in Congress about being like a publisher) which would ultimately lead to regulation and thus reduce competition against them and &

    The title asks about _meaning_ but the first question you ask is about _interesting_ technical problems. This seems to be a potential discrepancy to me. Unless you find deep meaning purely in the interesting nature of technical problems, th

    I thought it was quite good. It shows a Facebook-like company that goes to the extreme of getting people to make their lives completely public, and I don't want to give it away, but then shows the dangers of that.

    It's amazing how curmudgeony they've been. Their comment that MoviePass is an "existential threat" is fascinating as a window into the minds of people just trying to survive rather than thrive.

    If the main business model works (see my other comment), then theaters' margins needn't be reduced. I guess MoviePass thinks they deserve a cut of concessions since they're saving theaters - which might be true - but theaters
