I totally agree. The hypocrisy is so brazen that it isn't funny anymore. Facebook suing a government because they themselves want to be be the sole arbiters of free speech. They themselves stifle the speech of opponents of the (US) government.
So his colleagues were butt-hurt because of his personality and whined until he had to leave the company, putting the company's value in a nosedive, which will probably result in a bunch of job losses in the same team. Anyway, I hope they are happy now.
However for once this is not an anonymous mob, there are quite a few signatures on the petition.
Virtue signaling is cheap and won't get you cancelled (yet).
It seems Facebook only has a problem with echo chambers when they exhibit a narrative which is deviant from Facebook's.
Next time, when talking about Twitter, can we refer to them as: far-left social media website?
If they would then they would have figured out that I never listen to German music but they still promote it to me. Just because of either my credit card or IP address. So making recommendations based on listening habit is already too difficult for them, why in the world would they want to listen to what I say, my gender, age and emotional state. Heck, why not output an ultrasonic side-stream so that other Spotify users get that song recommended ASAP.
So not having the resources as a startup to check millions of messages a day can be used to stifle the competition? That is why Google&Co invested a lot of energy in developing AI to make them look as clean as possible. Not because they care but so they can blame startups for not investing in the same trick. And if you can't you're banned.
The same could be said for the power of the EU/Brussels institution. They have become too big to fail, can't be regulated and do not act in the interest of the European citizens. They should be broken up and the power delegated to the national governments.
Very keen observation! Most of it is obvious, main stream media is bullshitting people, people go to the alternative media, main stream media starts attacking alternative media. So far so good.
What I did not really realized was that the alternative media sources are not necessarily better sources. Some people are not really picky what the alternative is when the main goal is to get away from the main stream media.
Most modern ships have exhaust scrubbers to specifically remove SOx and NOx gasses from their exhausts.
Unfortunately the EU also allows for open loop scrubbers which scrub the exhaust gasses but also dump the scrubbed material into the sea in real time. They allow this because it is cheaper to implement and allow ships to comply with the exhaust regulations.
Slashdot gets paid to post this?
You may think that spouting populist rhetoric makes you seem clever. Mostly it makes you sound as though you are as simple as the masses it is meant to sway.
And Budweiser is sponsoring the soccer world cup, I don't believe they meant saying that beer is good for playing soccer.
Anyway, I did not meant to sway anybody, I just get a bit pissed when I hear (in Europe) about plans to increase taxes for "bad" food. I can handle it and I do not see why I should pay extra when I indulge myself a McHamburger. I hope I compensated the bad stuff in there by doing multiple sports, not smoking or drinking alcohol.
Should the law really take away all self-responsibility? The next step would be that the government forbids living, because people tend to die from it.
Sorry but I for one NEED high calorie stuff else my weight would go down too much. It is not bad food as long as you do enough to compensate with physical activity. So in my case Mc&Co are doing me a service.
Then again, you could also blame me for increasing my carbon footprint by using up excessive energy when I sport, walk stairs, walk at a brisk rate, in general doing stuff which uses up the most energy. Ever seen how obese people are wonders at energy conservation? Slow body movement with the least amount of acceleration of their limbs. We should send them to Africa to teach the locals how they can save food with efficient body movement.
Anyway, I am now off to apply for financial support to buy food to compensate for my excessive calorie usage, I am sure it is a disease.
Yes that is okay, to help a disabled person walk again. It is okay that the community pays for his medical treatment because we all profit to have a functional member in our community again.
The difference with the "fatties" is that you send them on a treatment for 3 weeks, they do lose 10 kilogram (20 pounds in old currency) and after they get back from their expensive treatment is takes about 3 weeks for them to add those 10 kilos again. (I always marvel how well they can manage their bodyweight, upwards).
Now take the guy who learned to walk again, what are the chances that he will cripple his own legs again with a big metal bar as soon as the doctors are not looking? I would say practically zero, same as the amount of fatties with a thyroid condition. So I have a problem with fatties who choose this life style and expect at the same time that the surrounding community is supporting him/her with that. Think of medical care, special infrastructure, early disabled because of secondary complications, etc.
Just because food is not classified as a drug it doesn't mean you can't say it isn't an addiction. Should we expect the same protections for crack addicts (who chose that life style) when they apply for a job in a kindergarten?
Dynamically binding, you realize the magic. Statically binding, you see only the hierarchy.
