The driving force behind this change and the protests at large is that American police are currently indistinguishable from kill drones if your skin isn’t white.

Out of curiosity, what do you use it for? I turned mine off after learning about how Google gives the info to police, and the only thing I miss is being able to set my home location in Google Maps.

Thank you! It’s still shitty for Apple to do this, but at least I can stop the nagging now.

One additional pain point for me is the number of symbolic operators. It’s hard to search for what some of them do, and even harder to have a conversation with a coworker when half your code is things like <$> or >>=.

It might be attribution for any LinkedIn ads they're running?

I filed an FTC complaint. I'd encourage other concerned folks do the same, since out of court settlements with the FTC are how this is currently adjudicated in the US.

Thank you for the link! The visibility settings button is basically invisible and so I had marked myself as "not looking" rather than "not visible".

I’m confused. Isn’t this already true without Disney having to antagonize anyone? Similar to the Instagram/Mashable court case? https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/14/21221078/stephanie-sincla...

I doubt Amazon would provide what it has here without public pressure.

Possibly, but in my experience the less real work there is the more politics and thought leadership tends to crop up.

It’s not feasible for you to see all opinions given the amount of content on Twitter. Twitter hides content from you all the time through ranking (if enabled) and follower graphs. They’re choosing to hide more content now than they normally

If you want to go further down this rabbit hole, I'd recommend "Why We're Polarized" by Ezra Klein. It acts as a synthesis for a bunch of work just like this.

Nah. The stronger your reasoning skills, the more likely it is you'll succumb to motivated reasoning. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2319992

Bots warp a Twitter user's ability to estimate how many human actors are involved in a given interaction. Twitter would like to cut down on astroturfing. One way to do that is to make it significantly harder to automate that process. T

This assumes that there are competitors who don’t spam you. For taxi apps, you have no choice since all entrants do this.

I’m surprised they didn’t go for licensing requirements instead. It seems to work for amateur radio.

I mean that federal and state goverments provide subsidies to the hospitals to cover the shortfalls that can't be billed. As an individual you still end up screwed.

This source is old, but maybe someone else will answer with a better one: taxpayers [1]. We just do so at a larger cost because we're willing to publicly fund emergencies but not preventative care. [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.ni

I mean, I wish that were true. But Apple does a lot of selective enforcement and the app store is full of editorial decisions. I agree with the editorial decision here, and disagree with the HKmap.live editorial decision.

It sucks for this case, but I’m glad this sort of thing is hard in general. If it were easy, I’d expect some sort of large market to sell shovelware downstream to ads/malware producers after achieving audience. Does one exist anyway?

Blurb is amazing! They printed a photo book that I gave to my fiancée when I proposed. Top quality printing and an easy to use app to create the book.

That’s the billion dollar question. Uber chose to commoditize their drivers from a very early stage. This made sense when most of the drivers were actual ride shares and amateurs. As the driver population professionalized, I do wonder if Ub

That’s an oversimplification. Uber’s primary innovations were social. They convinced riders that it was safe to jump into a stranger’s car, and drivers that it was safe to run an illegal taxi business. They managed to do both of these thing

I love dunking on Google, but isn’t this vacated due to the LinkedIn scraping case? https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/10/20859399/linkedin-hiq-dat...

This is where the power of big tech used to come from. Now it comes from the ability to use the wealth generated by innovative products to buy the market for non-innovative products.
