Which is based on FB’s weighing of those factors...so either stop doing any ranking/recommendations and make FB a dumb pipe with no restrictions, or put guard rails on the ranking/recommendations so we don’t end up with extremists

Where am I calling for suppression? I’m saying I don’t want it promoted via FB’s algorithms. The internet is open, just like the ol’ public square. As much as I hate 4chan, those idiots can still post. But FB is not the internet and never h

That’s not true at all. The content is filtered out according to their algorithms. They ditched the “see everything your friends are doing” feed a long time ago. Even the group and friend suggestions are tailored. https://about.f

I honestly don’t understand how this ignorant of a comment still gets on HN. What y’all are talking about is “The Internet” where all the trash and racist are free to make whatever content they want. What everyone else is talking about is p

It reads to be that you’re being purposely obtuse. Any security is going to take into account the appearance of a person. Undoubtedly you understand what that means in practice in America—-that appearance has been boiled down to just race:

Absolutely. But part of the problem seems to be that black people all look the same to cops.
127.
by xphilter 6y ago
That is a possibility, and one I think you need in a complex society. If police have a real threat of harm coming from inside a private home, they might need to enter the home before they can get a valid warrant. The problem is, police—-by

No, I was arguing against the parent comment. In this situation there were no exigent circumstances and so no expansion of what the law enforcement can do. I wanted to clarify that in special circumstances it is possible for a LE to order s

I agree; but it is possible to have a lawful order to control someone on private property. An example was the Boston bombing manhunt where police were doing door to door searches because there was a specific, articulated threat in a defined

Wow, thanks for posting. That’s really unfortunate and I hope they find who murdered the guard.

Where? Do you have a link? Let’s assume that’s true, that a crime was committed across the country. Does that give this group of law enforcement to shoot ltl rounds at unarmed people on private property and in compliance with the law? I don

by xphilter 6y ago
But again, that’s not the law (the executive order here). They can’t go enforce things not the law. It’s not like there are armed folks running around that street making exigent circumstances. Why do you feel the need to defend something ob

Those areas are everywhere; they’re only selectively enforced in neighborhoods of color. White people don’t smoke weed, for instance? The huge rush of white folks into “legal” weed business suggests that’s not the case. But how many teenage

I wonder how many times they try hiring consultants to do it for them. I tried consulting and it was mostly bs. I imagine if they hired good people internally they could do it. (But finding good people I probably the biggest problem...)

You can pay for tutoring that will improve your ability to answer those types of questions rather than increase your intelligence. If the standardized tests were good tests of general knowledge then paying $4,000 for a prep course shouldn’t

It would be a terrible solution if they did that I hope they don’t). I imagine they have specified what the legal basis is for collecting and using the photos and have an exemption outlined for when they receive a deletion request.

I don’t follow. When you protest at Walmart you aren’t guaranteed an audience either (people can ignore you and walk away). And when you make a video you don’t get granted an audience either. Why should YouTube have to help you out?
138.
by xphilter 6y ago
That’s why I put in the disclaimer. I don’t think you would rely on consent in that instance. Probably would have to use the “legitimate interest” and have some rules around how photos are taken and used (e.g., people in the background wher

by xphilter 6y ago
Not to be a stickler, but if you’re at an NBA game you contractually agree to allow that photo to be taken and displayed (under US law). Obviously it’d be different under EU law though.

by xphilter 6y ago
Thanks! That’s what I was trying to refer to. But that seems different in a few ways. First, there’s actually physical open spaces in malls where the public is invited—you don’t have to shop. Second, the protest in a mall is ephemeral. Yout

by xphilter 6y ago
According to what though? Walmart is ubiquitous; do they have to let people protest inside stores? No. Do they have to sell antivax books? No. You could maybe argue youtube is closer to a pseudo public place like a mall, but even there you

That’s impossible. Congress exempted the entire internet from court on something like this. Look at the communications decency act.

I investigated a case similar to this a few years ago (as an attorney). The problem is that most of these restaurants already signed contracts with the tech company that gave away a lot, including rights like this. And because it’s B2B, it’

by xphilter 7y ago
Right. And there’s no way to have an exception just like there is today. I can’t tell if you’re all be obtuse on purpose. Is this some sort of political movement to equate minimum wage to eugenics? As is now conservatives care about the poo

You are comparing adjudicating the worth of a non changeable attribute of a human to the minimum cost of labor. If you can’t see the difference between the two then I don’t know what to do. There slippery slope arguments then there are just

I wish reviews would change to “would you stay/use this again?” Just yes or no. I’m sure I could get more usefulness out of an aggregation of that. Anyone have an idea of why that would or wouldn’t work?
147.
by xphilter 7y ago
That doesn’t make any sense. Unless something else has changed, there’s no concrete way of knowing or estimating the cost of a ride. The price per mile/min is not regulated or posted like taxis. So what, you just hope surge pricing or

This is not new. It’s been embedded in tvs for years. You can thank judges who don’t care about consumer privacy and mandatory arbitration clauses for the spreading of this junk. If consumers could sue these companies none of this would be

I am a lawyer but I still don’t understand how these warrants can be constitutional (or legal). Doesn’t it have to be specific in its request, “identifying the person or property”? First, google would have to search its entire systems for t

Maybe, but my feeling is that they are trying to attribute the benefit to intermittent fasting (which may be the mechanism! I have no ideas (and neither do they!))
