But hasn't Zuckerberg asked to be regulated? I think Facebook would like to be have regulations put up on the social media industry to further entrench their position and create a regulatory moat against new entrants. Network effects a

This statement seems overly broad. I suspect you would object if someone took your words out of context, for example. Would that therefore mean you are a bad actor?

I’m not sure I see a big difference between what you wrote and what the article said since you also minimize the likelihood of the attack and the article also talked about their response.

I believe this misses the point, as does the article. The "American Dream" was never about blindly working harder on the same things in order to achieve a state where you no longer have to work. The dream is that through betterin

One possible idea is that if they organize their civilization in any way then they may simply not have authorization to reveal themselves. The occasional pilot noticing them would be accidents. As far as it being bad news — it’s never comfo

This is a strange take on how issues should be discussed in a free society. Rather than have ideological gate keeping at every level, I believe we in tech should advocate for a plurality of viewpoints discussed in the open. Probing, reasona

I think you underestimate how small margins are at most restaurants. My example was hyperbolic to better draw attention to the principle. The principle applies, as you admit, that the cost increase would need to be passed onto the customer,

There are low skilled cooks and high skilled cooks. A fast food worker is low skilled, as in, without prior skills a new entrant could do the task to a similar level of proficiency as someone who has experience. Cooks at higher end restaura

You could also replace “at a price I’m willing to pay” with “at a price my business can sustain and remain in the black.” I could offer $250k salaries to each line cook in the restaurant, but then I would have to charge something like $750

High paying fast food jobs are probably the exception not the norm. Relying on low skill jobs to provide higher compensation without changing the underlying value prop of the employee seems to undermine fundamental economic principles.

Society is organized around individuals and groups working in mutual self interest. If you go against this principle to find your solution you risk backlash to your (perceived or real) tyranny.

So perhaps a better claim would be that the new discourse is unduly confined and the older modes of discourse are gone.
