Of course they're picking sides, that's the whole point. The problem is that right now they aren't picking sides based on morality - in a failed attempt to be impartial they're picking a side based on policy or technical issues, and ignoring the morality of the side that decision puts them on.

If they keep trying not to pick sides, they're going to continue to accidentaly pick the wrong side sometimes. "we have to be willing to pick sides" is not the same thing as "we have to start picking sides"
The idea may be that android benefits a lot more from integration with other google products. Although I'm not sure on how inter-alphabet cooperation is going.
I guess that's a strategy. It wouldn't work for me, I lose everything (including house keys a few times).
100% agree. What people believe is reflected in what they see and have repeatedly reinforced.

If they've seen someone live up to a stereotype once and then have others just talk to reinforce that same stereotype, they'll continue to believe because it's the only real exposure they have.

You'll never convince someone unless they see it with their own eyes, which is one of the major reasons that internet publications built to reinforce different stereotypes are such a problem.
I worked somewhere where we received a yearly Christmas bonus of some maximum amount reduced by various factors. Maybe the threat of loosing 10% of some yearly bonus for: "fails to meet security standards" would work well as a deterrent.

The same can be said about pornography, and Facebook has no issue with drawing a wobbly line on that subject. They ban porn, they ban maybe-porn, and they sometimes ban things-that-are-probably-not-porn-but-let's-be-safe-and-ban-it-anyways.

They don't want pornography on their website. That's all there is to it. It speaks a lot about their position on it: "Not on our platform."

That they refuse to draw a line about holocaust deniers speaks volumes. Specifically, it speaks that they are perfectly fine with being a platform for white nationalism.
I'm struggling to see how these speeds are a direct consequence of certain phones being slower than others. My iPhone 6 happily consumes data at a rate of 100Mbps over 4G according to the Speedtest app. This phone must surely have an inferior modem and antennas compared to the much more modern devices mentioned in this article, yet on average they apparently perform much worse.

Is the device itself really the only variable that could account for the difference?

For example, I only get these speeds on my network, EE, because I pay for a "Max" plan which allows me to download data at the fastest speed possible. However, they sell cheaper plans with capped data rates. Perhaps in this scenario, iPhone users are choosing worse (cheaper) plans so they can afford an expensive phone?
$130M across four companies is nowhere near as severe a penalty as a $5B fine for one company. When you factor in that they've also extracted fines of $120M, $730M, $1B and $15B from Facebook, Microsoft, Intel and Apple, this is actually pretty clear proof that the EU is much tougher on US companies.
> Lowest unemployment rate since 1969

> an indicator that our current ideology... is broken

Read the very article you linked to:

The jobless rate ticked down to 3.8% in May, another sign of the strong economy and tight labor market. That tied the lowest unemployment rate since 1969. Since then, the only other time unemployment was this low was in April 2000. "It fell for all the right reasons. We had more people coming into the labor market. We saw employers digging deeper into the pool of unemployed," said Josh Wright, chief economist at the software firm iCIMS. The jobs report painted a picture of an economy with opportunities for almost everyone. Black unemployment fell to a record low, and the gap between black and white unemployment shrank to the narrowest ever measured. Job openings are at a record high, and businesses are hungry for workers. That has helped underrepresented Americans find jobs. The unemployment rate among African-Americans and Asian-Americans has been steadily declining. It has also dropped among low-education workers and even teenagers. Over the past year, the unemployment rate among 16- to 19-year-olds has fallen from 14.1% to 12.8%.

Not to mention you haven't established the connection to "low taxes, limited regulation" that you claim. Others could equally claim the problem is that taxes and regulation are too high. This is a classic case of "I'm going to cite bad statistics and blame X without explaining the causal connection with X or whether the alternative would be better."
If you find a behavior you don't like, figure out what's causing it. It's probably not random, parents are probably not just being dumb.

Test scores, or minor misbehaviors, or other things, can disproportionately influence someone's future, to extents that are not realistic or human. Children, left to their own devices, will have trouble surviving in a world that runs on rules that don't actually make sense. Parents can sense this, so they try to protect their children, and they play by the rules that they see. There's no advantage to being fair, to doing things the "right" way, because the message has already gotten out that the rules are arbitrary. It's not important what you know, it's important that you pass the test.

Or, as they say, "best predictor of future behavior is past behavior" (very horrible sentiment).

If you don't want parents being overzealous and a bit crazy about their children, stop making society so damn competitive and inflexible. There are so many pitfalls someone can fall down just by accident, just by being human.

Traffic usage. NYC roads are simply used by more people during more parts of the day than pretty much any other city except LA. LA's roads are messed up as a result of the large volume of trucking traffic. As a result, both the roads in NYC and LA need resurfacing more frequently than other locations, but that takes a lot of time and a lot of money, and so in many cases unless the road is really messed up it's not worth it to accelerate maintenance ahead of cycle.
If saying that minority people have the right to live and be free becomes an "unpopular opinion", we have considerably bigger problems and the need for revolution grows closer. Human rights matter. This is an objective, universal notion that must be always defended. Even, as the American South has proven, against a majority.
I find it anything but refreshing. If anything I find this trend alarming where people are pushing for companies to ban everyone they disagree with. Just block someone if they say things you don't want to read. That's all there is to it. It's nowhere near "the right thing to do." Aside from the fact that I believe open discourse is vital to society and that restricting it on one of the world's most important platforms is reprehensible, it's short-sighted - eventually a view you agree with will be banned too. "First they came for people I disagreed with, and I did not speak out because I disagreed with them.."

This is the kind of argument that makes people more dependent on Facebook.

The best way to fight Facebook's monopoly is to just get people off of it and let them form their own independent social networking strategies.

You are basically making the case for Facebook by arguing for them as the de facto social network.

Facebook is completely unnecessary. We need to remind people of that.
They're willing to pick sides when there is profit to made. They are not willing to pick sides to clean up there platform when there is a cost to them (potentially fewer users and increased staff needed for moderation). They try to disguise it as a free speech issue when it's just a business decision based around cost - they don't want to spend money to do it.
No, and I have no idea why you would extrapolate that from what I said.

I listed factors that will make homework harder for him. He is older, so more homework. A complex home environment, so harder to stay organized and consistent. More children, dividing parental attention. The more serious that ADHD is, the harder that staying on task becomes.

Put it all together, and homework becomes a lot bigger issue for him than it is for a normal child.

> In response to his Recode interview, Mark says "I believe that often the best way to fight offensive bad speech is with good speech."

There's no way to fight speech with more speech when the audience your speech reaches is determined by algorithms you have no control over or even insight into.
It's Facebook's editorial policy to allow hate speech. It has nothing to do with not limiting "free speech".

They allow it because it expands their audience.

Facebook isn't government. It can do what it wishes, including banning or allowing free speech, and has no obligations either way.

Given that, if I was a major advertiser, I'd steer clear of them considering that I might have my beautiful fashion ad next to some neo-Nazi propaganda.
The linked video shows people still looking reasonably well fed and well clothed and walking around.

My guess is they are people with government connections that allow them to buy dollars at a discounted price and then sell them for a huge profit.Or just pay directly in dollars. In any case, the government has the security forces and a huge civilian militia, so it won't starve, no matter what is happening to anyone else.
I'm going to try making a counterpoint by playing devil's advocate for a moment. Please try to see the larger point I'm making, rather than the particulars:

Abortion is monsterous - it's genocide on an unfathomable scale.

Homosexuality is monsterous - it's unnatural and sinful.

Promoting (Christianity | Islam | athiesm) is monsterous - those belief systems lead to death and destruction.

Promoting (democracy | socialism) is monsterous - it leads to massive suffering inside and outside our borders.

Main point: Different people have diametrically different ideas of what's monsterous. I'm pretty sure you don't want to live in a land where some of those definitions are used to limit your speech.
> That they refuse to draw a line about holocaust deniers speaks volumes. Specifically, it speaks that they are perfectly fine with being a platform for white nationalism.

Whites are far from being the only people who deny the Holocaust.
Interesting. From the perspective of someone already living in California, there has been an increase in demand for high-end houses in SoCal despite the tax law changes. Pricing trends plateaued briefly the first half of the year but half resumed their upward climb, especially in the nice parts of LA.

For Robert Calin-Jageman, it’s exciting that forgetting
seems to be a biological process like digestion or excretion
because that means it can, at least in theory, be ramped up
or down.

Huh? Of course it's biological. Why would one believe otherwise unless they made naive deductions from the metaphors du jure--computers and neural networks. Perhaps the journalist is misinterpreting the researcher, and was, indeed, working backward from modern metaphors to conclude that it's somehow novel to think the mechanisms intrinsically corporeal.
> they're picking a side based on policy or technical issues

Let's be realistic. They're picking a side based on commercial motivations.
The mechanism will probably support it. Whether that is "supported" or not I think is TBD. :)
Exactly right. Practice is essential, but it is essential that it be correct practice. According to research, supervised practice in the classroom is both superior to homework, and sufficient for learning.
> and those individuals actually reduced the amount of hate speech they engaged in

Did they reduce their amount of hate speech because they no longer had a, erm, "safe place" to express it? There's a big difference between people self-censoring due to a chilling effect, and an actual change in beliefs.
I'm sure numerous groups that you believe are evil have a shared understanding of good/evil in this context and others that does not agree with your own.

If you really want to practice empathy, you need to also practice empathy with those that you believe are evil. I'm certain that most of those people believe they are doing good.
Advocacy for murder and legal subjugation (in this example, of minorities, but it really applies to anyone) is devoid of value and legitimacy. Directly or indirectly supporting people who do it by giving them a microphone seems very clearly reprehensible from an ethical perspective.

The systematic explusion and extermination of innocents is not just "another opinion", like the best way to balance the budget. It is something to fight on all justifiable and effective fronts.

Select options are white on white background in Firefox. And it would be nicer, if changing language and time wouldn't reload whole page.
You could say that is impossible to start from something finite and completely destroy it to 0, and this analogous to the impossibility of creating infinite pieces. But another option is that there is simply nothing to start with.
Why?

If a private citizen sets up an "open mic" of sorts that anyone can use to espouse their viewpoints because they believe in "free speech", why is that "ethically problematic"?

Facebook doesn't owe it to anyone, but then again, there's no good reason for them not to do it either.
It's not that easy. It comes down to what "the concept of infinity" means. Does Santa Claus exist because the concept of Santa Claus exists? (See my other comments in this subthread for my view of this.)

Tesla troll/short doxxed and revealed to be heavily invested in oil industry
Hey, now. Don't go robbing the masses of their Two Minutes Hate.
I'd say you should be counting the lines of code needed to implement TCP/IP – as well as DHCP, ARP, Ethernet, maybe DNS, and anything else I've forgotten that your server needs to speak. Consider lwIP, the most common implementation of those protocols on microcontrollers: it's meant to be minimalistic, but it's still some ~35,000 SLoC, not including tests. For comparison, a minimalistic implementation of TLS is Amazon's s2n, which is ~12,000 SLoC. Adding s2n to lwIP would only represent an increase in code size of about one third.

Of course, a more typical HTTP/HTTPS server will be using the Linux kernel for networking (with some userland bits for DHCP and DNS), and OpenSSL for TLS – overall representing multiple orders of magnitude more code. But I suspect the proportion between TLS and non-TLS would be somewhere in the same ballpark, depending on how you count.

The problem is that on Linux, the TCP/IP stack is in-kernel, universal for everything on the system, and overall unobtrusive – it mostly 'just works' – while OpenSSL is in userland, has an unwieldy API and unstable ABI, can be linked in many different ways, requires a lot of configuration, and is overall a pain in the neck. So as a developer, the complexity of TLS weighs heavily on you, while the complexity of TCP/IP is something you can largely forget about.

Personally, I think TLS adoption would have been quicker if it had been implemented in the kernel and it just became a switch you could flip in the socket API; something like:

socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, PF_TLS)

But for better or worse, that's not how things panned out.
Bad people on many sides... on many sides!
I'm stating a fact that they are the de facto social network. As such, they have an ethical duty to not deprive their users of basic human rights like freedom of speech. I absolutely do want Facebook replaced but I'd also like them to do as little damage as possible until they are.

It would make a lot of sense to have laws that require massive monopolies like Facebook to abide by the same rules that constrain government organizations.
>Very tired of this mealy-mouthed "free speech" refrain

Where-in nudity is forbidden but holocaust denial is tolerated. Facebook obviously allows editorial decisions to supersede profit. And they come form a very particular world view about what is and is not acceptable. A world view that is not remotely universal viewed as "free speech".
Politics is unavoidable. All businesses and people interact with power structures in some way. Pretending that they don't isn't neutrality, but rather a passive endorsement of the way things are. Big, entrenched, successful companies often have the luxury of assuming this stance because they like the way things are.

As for Facebook in particular, their goal from the beginning has been to insert themselves into everyone's conversations. It's particularly absurd to think that they can avoid politics.
> I don't understand this argument. Twitter hasn't tricked anyone. They have an enforceable terms of use agreement with their users. If you deliberately circumvent controls described by that agreement, they have civil recourse. It's their site and always has been.

That's actually not true, if it's public information, then you're free to grab it. See below:

By reverse engineering the API, sure they can shut you down, but a lawsuit? Hardly.
This all falls apart when you realize there are very few clear moral issues (and nearly all of them are already covered by laws). Preventing the election of Donald Trump, or removing him from presidency is a very clear moral issue for many people. Anybody who promotes or supports nationalism could also very easily be thrown in with the example you provided.

I'm not saying junk food is good for kids. But kids are growing and their bodies change much more rapidly than adults'. If they slam a liter of soda a day they can still burn those calories off by riding their bikes or playing soccer for 2 hours after school (unlike an adult, they have both the time and energy to do so). They can't burn those calories off by streaming CS:GO on Twitch for 4 hours.

So you're falsely equating an adult's fitness regimen with a child's (kids don't care about showing their abs).
this is the reason companies build platforms. If you own the platform, you get a big advantage over third-parties building tools on your platforms. they aren't buying their way into the market with money, they're buying their way into the market with years and years of work building the platform. I don't think it's anything to get upset about.

Also, the big cloud platforms aren't shy about acquiring smaller players, and that's an exit that a lot of the people building tools for cloud platforms are looking for. I think it's safe to say that without GCP, AWS, and Azure there'd be a lot fewer companies building CI tools.
Personally, I believe that false beliefs that are reinforced through a filter bubble are reinforced much faster over time. Which is precisely what happens in neo-nazi communities.

When they don't have a place to organize and talk, they may retain their private viewpoints. Those viewpoints -may- strengthen over time.

When they do have a place to organize and talk with like-minded individuals, these viewpoints absolutely strengthen. I'm not sure how this is controversial.

The CFAA has existed since the 80s, and yet I have not heard of it being used successfully to stop all of the work we did in the 90s on third-party clients. Meanwhile, all of the recent stuff I have heard about the CFAA has been that precedent is being set that its super vague provisions can't be used to enforce a mere terms of service.
