It appears China is aggressively doubling down on its strategy of nationalizing the technology industry and de-FAANGing it in any way possible. Given the recent Jack Ma saga, it is inconceivable this move happened without the blessing of Chinese authorities. If ARM itself can become a victim of foreign-IP-nationalization-as-national-policy, ANY company can.
There is only one path forward for this meat. Until Guga blesses it, we disciples will leave the Frankengyu alone.
Amazon is lying about this. They intentionally want fake reviews on their system.
The simplest proof of this how many listings they have where the PRODUCT is NEWER ("first appeared on Amazon") than the DATE of the REVIEWS beneath it.
The simple recycling of reviews from an old product to a newer one is the most obvious testament to the "BS" nature of their fake-review excuses.
which sounds perfectly reasonable until you realize that nation-states run entire propaganda operations dedicated to the intentional spread of actual disinformation
allowing Russia to spread vaccine disinformation is dangerous or deadly, and they have a track record of doing that
they also have a track record of injecting (and upvoting) extremely biased information into public forums
Yahoo had to shut down their message boards because Putin ordered Prigozhin to create biased boards on Yahoo. As a result, 100% of Yahoo articles that had any topic of a remotely political nature wound up with comments that were either 100% extreme, angry right-wing (for pages and pages and pages) or 100% extreme, angry left-wing (for pages and pages and pages). Meaning - none of the comments were authentic, or if they were authentic, they were inauthentically voted up or down to create an inauthentic result set.
Beyond intentional disinformation you have mountains of spam. That's another form of inauthentic behavior. That's not "free speech" - it's intentional abuse like screaming "fire" in a crowded theater without a fire.
I nominate Vladimir Putin to be the first registered Michigan fact checker. So far, he has provided the most accurate, wide-ranging, and effective guide to the truth for many Michigan state reps such as Rep. Maddock. Fact checkers of the world, unite!
They just learned how to use S3 to host files. Be patient! I am sure Miami dabbling in the world's most volatile cryptocurrency will end well. If not for them, for someone. And if not soon, then soon enough.
It has not largely passed. Current daily infections and deaths are at record numbers at least in the USA. You could be misinformed or intentionally lying, but either way, you are likely getting your information diet from people who for some reason are misinformed or intentionally lying.
I'll have my clamshell shaken not stirred. It bruises the hinge.
This real issue here is not the algorithm, or whether Facebook can actively filter this content or not. They have great, talented developers. They can filter it all out if they wish.
The issue is that Mark Zuckerberg is intentionally supporting a semi-pure libertarian/free-speech philosophy, almost unconstrained except where limited by local laws (like in Germany), in order to make his platform appeal to as many personality types as possible. The philosophy itself is not the point. The point is the philosophy allows for maximum eyeballs and thus maximum advertising dollars.
Most of the time, people who don't want to see specific content will not see it. The edge cases (like this) he could care less about. He wants to maximize ad dollars and doesn't give a crap about other considerations unless they are so egregious they affect the bottom line. The big-advertiser hate-speech boycott hasn't done much to slow him down because small-to-medium size advertisers are desperate for business in the age of covid, and keeping the money coming in.
So he's content agnostic, as long as the money keeps flowing. Barring a tangible hit to his bottom line, the only way to regulate this kind of speech off the platform would be through local (national) legal restrictions. Because morals be damned, the free (including hate) speech policy is making money, and the side-effect externalities on society of spreading disinformation are -- most of the time -- none of his concern.
best post ever, thanks... don't know if this is a blueprint how to be a sociopath or world class CTO but either way it works
The Yahoo boards are used as direct state propaganda by Russia. That is -- after any article with any content that's even remotely political, the comments are always either 100% conservative, or 100% liberal. There is literally never any gray. It's a state propaganda ploy to polarize opinion and disrupt the United States. On the other hand when you have articles that are non-political in nature, you will see a great variety of opinion. Unfortunately Russia has been using the Yahoo comment boards as an attack vector.
There seems to be a bit of resentment there which I'm sure has more going on than the fact other people are ok eating vegetables to live. I'm not sure where the "stupid people" comes from as there are over a billion people who live entirely healthy lives with either fully vegan or various vegetarian with animal product diets (ovo-, ovolacto-vegetarian) etc. The biggest risk is low B12 which can be remedied with an occasional pill.
"Malnourished" is one perspective. "Having an statistically higher risk of heart disease and other issues versus a vegetarian diet" is another.
That said, most of the meat-texture products are for people who eat or have eaten meat in their lives, who want to transition to either vegetarian or more vegetable-based diet.
Also - on a subjective basis, some people vegetarian products actually taste better or are easier to digest than their meat based counterparts. I don't know about you but the Burger King Impossible Whopper has grown on me. I eat meat, but their meat is low quality to begin with, and the Impossible Whopper actually tastes better and digests better as far as I'm concerned. If you've eaten before, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about when it's sitting in your stomache and burp it up later. So on the infrequent occasion when I eat BK, I'll seek out the Impossible Whopper because I like it.
So they dissed their own employees who had been working like
And then they donate the money to help right the wrongs caused by the legacy of... uh... slavery?
Is it me or does that whole dynamic feel a bit ironic, even a wee bit sociopathic?
It's not the name. The reason for Quibi's failure is very simple. They can't figure out what business they are in.
It makes ZERO sense to make the whole point of your existence that you are a BITE-SIZE media service for people who are too busy to watch traditional media, then force-feed ADVERTISEMENTS to them at the beginning of the show. And make them pay for the privilege.
It's absolutely insane and they are too greedy to understand the common sense lunacy of this double-dipping business plan that NOBODY wants. Either go FREE, supported by ads, or CHARGE with no ads. The "option" of a $5-w-ads/mo plan vs $8-add-free/mo plan does NOT solve the problem, and in fact, completely destroys their core value proposition because it self-contradicts its own value proposition! If you are a consumer too busy for traditional media, you DO NOT have 30 seconds or a minute to watch a dumb commercial, and it's offensive to tell consumers that is your value, then offer to charge them for the OPPOSITE. You become a wild weasel rather than a well-bred ferret seeking out a specific market. Nobody wants a weasel in their home.
Sadly they did not have the clarity or guts to make a decision. And when you are doing something NEW like this, if you don't step up and decide your message, so people can TRUST you and KNOW your business model and TALK about it with INTEGRITY, then you are absolutely dead. Which Quibi is, with one foot in the grave. And they'll go broke blaming coronavirus instead of their own ability to decide who and what they are as a company.
Reverse stock splits don't screw anyone, taken as a basic financial operation. They concentrate stock value into a smaller number of shares. There may have been other issues which happened at the same time that actually screwed people. What was the exact scenario?
As for getting laid off just before you vest... yeah, that's screwing people.
Dynamically binding, you realize the magic. Statically binding, you see only the hierarchy.
