He seemed to say the database wouldn't have 500 million records in it at a time since they are deleted but that seems irrelevant with how the breach took place over 4 years. Anyway the article seems to be just speculation, which is dis

How many birds do they actually eat? The study I've seen has been mostly speculation as it's an incredibly hard thing to measure generally.

Not that they don't deserve it but articles critical of the major tech companies are a large portion of the content here so a few anti-Facebook stuff in a row isn't really at all surprising.

Maybe I don't understand your argument but it sounds like to me you would think that 3 feet long is societally determined because you need a social system to define what 3 feet is and create measuring tapes and whatever but that would

Many people refer to sex as what someone is biologically and gender as what society considers them (edit: just FYI I'm not an expert and this is probably an oversimplification). While sex is more constant there isn't any reason g

"Gender" is a social construct but while "old" or "young" is a social construct "69 years old" isn't really.

In the article they mention minimum wage and the fact that their decrease had been less than average. Middle class workers wages are down 14%

If you look it up all these things you keep hearing about are generally in the order of 1% of their workforce. If you had an articles when other companies had 1% of their employees think something you would see tons of articles about them,

Did they say it was GPA related or was that purely speculation? There's a bunch of stuff that can sink an offer and nowhere that I've done interviews has GPA been the reason that late

My mom is a children's librarian and in my experience the point of a library is to help kids and to get them to like reading, neither of which is silent. Reading to kids, teaching them, and helping them pick books are all primary parts

I wonder if for things like joining our leaving the EU we should make them get at least 60ish percent of the vote. Simple majorities have a tendency to ping-pong back and forth so it doesn't seem optional for huge systemic changes.

The problems is that good journalism is expensive. We all know how annoying ads and paywalls are here but it's hard to get enough people to actually want to pay for the content.

It would add context but on the other hand they are all very small autonomous Asian cities so I wonder how well the would actually generalize to the UK.

Haha I had the opposite experience. Growing up I always liked math, science, and programming but more and more I wish I could just spend all my time doing martial arts.

You have the basic idea correct. One thing to note is that people often use them interchangeably.

Do they often give up information on people like this? I always thought they made all their money by hoarding info then being the middleman. It just seems like a departure from their general business plan.

Calling it a "certain configuration of numbers" is just willfully ignoring the context of it. To me it would be like calling anthrax a "certain configuration of atoms", it manages to both be literally true while also mis

I think it's just how people view large tech companies on this site. The view of those large companies is very negative in general here.

To me the rhetoric around "globalists" in general and George Soros in particular really are functionally very similar to anti Semitic rhetoric against those same groups (who happen to be mostly Jewish). This is seen where the pers

I'm not super knowledgable about healthcare but my gut feeling says that this problem was around before government mandated insurance. I would think it would mitigate it a little but then also create the problem of uninsured people so

If you are talking about market efficiency one of the main components of it (which is really often overlooked) is access to accurate information to be able to judge the quality of products. It hurts consumers when they do things like this a

Anecdotally I've met an absolutely crazy amount of recent Google Cloud hires in the past few months so I'm curious if the pace of updates will improve in like a year as they throw money at it.

I'll concede that maybe America is too broad to generalize here but the point still stands that you don't need to completely disallow alcohol to have people not really drunk at basic work functions

Having a beer is I engrained in American work culture. Also I've worked at multiple companies where they had work functions at dinnertime and no one got that drunk (generally there were 2 drink maximums, which probably helped) so it&#x

Equivalent doesn't seem right but the idea is that they are down information that the government tells them to. The difference is just the government rationale for having it taken down (which clearly hugely important). I was curious ab

The US is still actually pretty good to it's citizens by global standards. For example as an American I don't have any worries that the government will come after me if I speak out against it and a politician can't have me th
