What about links that call for violence / genocide? Should those be delivered to avoid setting a precedent?

Yeah this piece seems to forget that the Guardian[1] was also very critical of Pornhub when the NYT story came out. It seems like their position is that neither a completely hands off approach or a complete ban is acceptable, and that the o

The UK is far from immune to this type of behavior. "The Vagrancy Act was passed in the summer of 1824, which means it is now just shy of its 200th birthday. And if it held any relevance then, it certainly doesn’t now. At its core, The

> The problem, though, is that very often people make this decision without fully understanding the tradeoff they're making. This is exactly what I mean though. How are you determining whether someone "fully understands?"

I don't think the majority of people are against privacy. I think the majority of people don't think that the level of privacy they give up is too high a price to pay for the services they receive. That seems reasonable to me? It

Would you feel the same way if this were, say, a collection of college students that achieved the same thing?

No, not really. The point is that it's possible to relibly predict whether a study will reproduce based solely on the characteristics of the study.

Also to be specific, none of the volunteers needed to consult an Oracle. The factors they cite (low N, "newsworthiness") are also the same factors that would give a layperson pause.

Sure, but I assume those people didn't make that mistake because of automated directions? Google maps will also happily draw a line to the White House[1], but no one is concern trolling about how the dotted line could lead people to mi

So what I gathered from this article is that the "danger" is entirely theoretical. No one has actually made this mistake, or even claimed to have almost made this mistake?

I'm not sure I understand your complaint here - it sounds like developers built a bunch of supply, and prices responded by going down? Isn't that exactly what we want?

One thing to keep in mind is that these experiences are not randomly distributed. If the drivers assessed you as someone who they thought was likely to complain or know the rules, they probably wouldn't attempt to scam you.

So the sticking point on the first point is that it is a one-way decision? By that framing, every product update is a cost. Upgrading from iOS 13 to iOS 14 was a cost. For the second point, then every time a company decides not to build a n

It's an unworkable idea. What is an ad, exactly? You cite Consumer Reports as a model - they have affiliate links on their reviews. Is that an ad? Is a sponsored social media post? A celebrity endorsement? Free products given to athlet

Ah sorry, I was being unclear. Facebook definitely has a "real name" policy, but it isn't clear to me why a unified messaging experience means that your real name will now be shown to other users. That seems like a product de

Hm well the first two aren't really costs, are they? The third is a conjecture, and as I understand it this is only being offered to people who already have linked their Facebook and Instagram accounts?
