@deelowe, By using the word "mixing" up you are implying that I have confused two separate things, which I didn't. They are not two separate things. Google enjoys the status of a platform in all of its products. The links I p

@bilbo0s I’m sorry. Let me be more specific. When I refer to deplatforming I’m talking about users and opinions being banned from the plaftorms (YouTube, Twitter, FB, etc). When I’m referring to search engine results what I’m saying is that

That's what I'm suggesting @mullingitover. It seems like you don't agree. Maybe you could make the case about the reason you don't agree and we can go from there.

Maybe we should start with easy problems. I'm not proposing that we have a "fair" algorithm. I think two simple actions would suffice: 1) Google (and other platforms) should stop removing content from people they do not agree

I don't want to argue semantics, but even if we do, I would state that you are wrong. [1] Censorship can come from anyone and anywhere. Especially when a private company like Google has more power that many governments in the world. Go

I think your logic is perfect. As long as you agree to treat Google as a publisher and not as a platform like it is currently being treated now. Section 230 [1], which in theory was supposed to protect free speech, is actually doing the opp

I see two separate things here. One is aversion to risk and another is the perception that someone is denying something for a reason you don’t control. They have to be handled and treated separately. When talking about risk, we are usually

Maybe I can help. I’m on a H1B currently starting the green card process. I don’t have formal education, but have been working as a developer for the past 16 years (13 at the time of the VISA application). If you don’t have a degree, you ca

> A state backed supplier is different to a subsidy I can agree if we change it to "A state-backed supplier could be different to a subsidy". Let's take Brazil, my home country, for example. The last government used tax-pa

I don't know who downvoted you, but I upvoted you because I think it's unfair to downvote someone just because they have a different opinion. I have been downvoted too many times before with no explanation so it's just right

From your reference: "Last week saw the announcement of the world’s first “subsidy-free” offshore windfarm, the 750 megawatt (MW) Hollandse Kust Zuid scheme, due to be built by 2022 off the coast of the Netherlands, by Swedish state-ba

Pardon me for my lack of understanding. If I understand it right, you are saying that solar is cheaper than coal if you exclude all the factors that make it more expensive from the analysis? I can't wait for that same thing. The proble

It's not like we have been wrong about this a hundred and twenty-three times before. In 2014, "science" was telling us for sure that the big lakes would go dry in just a few years due to climate change effects [0]. It is 2019

I don't mean to be rude here, but how else can one respond to such a statement? What's the source of your claim? If solar and wind were cheaper everybody would use it. It's not like there is a conspiracy of companies using a

My wife has the exact same “problem” as you do. In her case it presents itself in two main different forms: - she will use all the correct words but will swap the order of the key substantives of the phrase. For example: use the knife to ho

To me, nowadays, the hardest part of learning a new technology or language is not the “thing” itself but the environment around it. Make content about environments. Example: I want to start doing Ruby. There are probably 49 ways to setup a

Completely random thought: make an offer to all of them with the biggest part of their compensation being variable, tied to sales as commissions. Whoever accepts it, believes a lot on what they do and how much they can sell.

This is a common and predominant trait of many people in the world. I’m just like you. It hurts me sometimes but it also makes me valuable. It depends on the situation. In my case, what I did was make peace with it and accept that I do it.

That’s very simple to do. Don’t raise external funding. If you are raising external funding, you, more often than not, should be okay with becoming an employee. If you are not you should not raise money and work to grow the company like eve

All of the points you mentioned to be true for web pages can also be true for an SPA. Can't they?

I’m going to reply to this just based on (my) logic and zero experience. The question is: does it increase my chances dramatically? I believe the answer is: if your contributions are dramatic I believe it does increase your chances. How dra

Upvoted for mentioning JP. Great guy. Really interesting insights and ideas. Every word he says has a meaning. It is really hard to listen to someone like him talking. You have to pay attention to each word because that will change the mean

Terrible book. The concept is explained in two or three pages and repeated during the whole book without introducing anything new. Watch a free YouTube review and go spend the money and time on something else.
