Prediction: Jones will be back on all these platforms before 2019.
You have more faith in human rationality than I do at this point. Making his content harder to get will reduce his legitimacy. Con men and frauds should not be treated with respect or debated. Also, Jones specifically used his platform to abuse people, so this is not just about being full of shit all the time.
>logic

Unfortunately your question starts with an untenable premise ;)
Even though Alex Jones is one of the most retarded people on Earth and he is a walking meme, CNN and other liberal media aren't really much different since 2016 or even a little earlier. Tech industry is owned and controlled by liberals, if you aren't a member of the liberal cult, you must be a Nazi or white supremacist. Except for FOX news, there are near to 0 non-liberal media outlets. When all media outlets are on the same ideology, this is called dictatorship.
This is so over-the-top that I really don't know what to think, except WTF? But banks already monetize customer data, so I suppose that it's not unprecedented.

Still, what can Facebook be thinking? Given all the controversy over Cambridge Analytica etc, you'd think that they'd be pushing some privacy PR. But no, they're digging deeper. What is up with that?

Not terribly interesting from an Apple perspective but I did find this illuminating.

"But as enforcement loosened, notably under the Reagan administration, buybacks began to increase. Now, they are omnipresent. A Roosevelt Institute study released on Tuesday found that corporations spent 60 percent of their net profits on stock buybacks between 2015-2017."

Sixty percent of profits on AVERAGE from 2015-2017 (across all corporations? US?).

Compound this with statistics (same article) that see no long term stock benefit from these short-term injections and you have a broken system of incentives with a generation of executives playing games with bonuses. It reminds me of all these studies criticising code metrics like lines-of-code as producing nothing useful except extra verbose code.
So they get the tougher cases to begin with.

Do you have evidence that this happens in the ER? When my wife did her ER rotation it wasn't like this.

We have a study that shows women with heart attacks do worse in ERs unless they are treated by a female doctor. You are presenting facts (without attribution) about surgeons. ER doctors are not surgeons. So what evidence do you have from the ER that contradicts the apparent conclusion of the study?

Is funny that those who fight gender biases the most are some of the most biased.

It's quite ironic that you wrote the above sentence given your post. The only evidence you provide is about surgeons and conclude that male superiority in medicine is the most likely reason for the statistics in the study. That is quite a stretch there.
If you don’t see any parallels to the NYT firing a new tech editor based on her offensive tweets and the NYT not firing a new tech editor for her offensive tweets, then I can certainly understand how you don’t see any relation to InfoWars being censored, and I won’t press the point.

It seems like you feel like this is all so cut and dry, however the public discussion on all sides would seem to discredit that notion. It’s what NYMag calls, “on the one hand, utterly obvious ... and at the same time muddled and thorny.” [1]

> Let me know when you decide to join us in the real world, with real problems, where the statement "fewer guns === fewer shootings" is in fact axiomatic.

That may not be the real world. In fact, all you've supplied so far is your repeated assertion that it is. Maybe you should be better - like, supply something that looks like evidence rather than just assertion.

> I am confident that it is, if for no other reason than the way you choose to "disprove" it is by asking me to imagine a room with 100 people and Hitler in it. Like, if that's the best you got...it's a fucking axiom, my dude.

No. That's one person's one counterargument is something that you consider to be way out there. That does not make your assertion an axiom. It makes it an assertion with a counter-argument that you consider to be bogus, and that's all.

And: "my dude"? Really? Being smug and condescending doesn't make you more convincing; it just means you're acting like a jerk.

It is amazing how each new version of Android has a complete new UX and none of them are actually good. Google is basically a back-end company incapable of doing good UX (if it is more than a search bar).
Funny that you mention the camera. The Pixel 2 has the same sensor (Sony IMX 362) as a bunch of Motorola phones, like the G5+ and the X4. There is the custom Pixel Visual Core, sure, but that's used only by third-party applications that call the Camera API. Google's Camera app does all the processing on the CPU, presumably with highly tuned Halide code.
> Considering the Cali coast has the highest cost of living, doesn't that mean it is where many people want to be?

CA has more natural boundaries that spike the cost of living higher. For example, pretty much the entire LA area (except around Palmdale) consists of a bunch of small valleys nestled between mountains. Not only do they have the west coast in the way, but they've got mountains blocking them from expanding in every other direction.

And you can say the same thing about the Bay Area, too. If expansion isn't blocked by water, it's blocked by mountains.

NYC's COL is also in large part due to natural boundaries, but it's not as bad as CA. Manhattan is a tiny island. Long Island is also, well, an island. The Bronx and Westchester are a peninsula. But there's at least some room to expand. The Hudson Valley opens up when you get north of White Plains, and Jersey has plenty of room to sprawl. So the COL isn't nearly as bad as SF. What really keeps it as high as it is, though, is culture: Manhattan is the center of the world, and that's exactly how New Yorkers like it. There's a massive stigma to setting up shop in places like Morristown or Ossining. So instead everyone either pays $$$$$ to live near work in Manhattan or they pay $$$$ live in the suburbs but not so far out in the suburbs that they can't commute to Manhattan every day.

In the midwest and the southwest, on the other hand, there's no stigma to setting up shop in suburban edge cities. So you have metro areas like Dallas where there are large tech hubs in suburbs like Plano and Richardson, and some companies now are setting up shop in the exurbs.

Does the permission model even work at this point? The vast majority of users just accept whatever the app asks for without a second thought. The rest is bullied by platform monopolies.

There is very little real choice for users.
My comment was in relation to the waterfall effect which proceeded Apple’s decision to delist InfoWars, not to Apple exercising editorial control over its store, which IMO by itself would be entirely unnewsworthy.

That wakelock detector is probably showing wrong data (especially on newer API levels). Can you try something more advanced like Battery Historian (in dev tools) to see what's waking up the CPU?

(And no, Google apps are beholden to all power saving restrictions like other apps - Play Services being the exception because it services functionality that must work at all times.)
And the other problem is you install an app all the time and the permissions aren't clearly laid out. I want:

1. tell me I install an app that wants "some list of permissions".

2. let me disable this permission for all apps installed now and in the future.
It's almost a false sense of "reassuring" as the users are blindly made to think it may be more trustworthy, in fact they don't know who did what to gain the (fake) trust.
>So [men] get the tougher cases to begin with.

This argument has come up several times here as though it is an obvious possibility, but I have significant reason to doubt it.

In politics, it is known that women end up being given statistically riskier elections to defend - i.e. those that are the most critical ones for a political party, while also offering individuals less secure career prospects.

Why, then, is it assumed that the exact opposite must be true in medicine?

"..finding that cardiac deaths out-of-hospital were more likely to occur among women than men is consistent with findings that women more often delay seeking help for heart attack symptoms (4). Early recognition of heart symptoms and signs leads to earlier artery opening treatment or defibrillation that results in less heart damage and deaths." Education and media efforts should inform the public about heart disease... "

> 2) women doctors are probably far more likely to be aware of the differences in symptoms between the traditionally discussed symptoms and those that are specific to women, simply from a self-interest perspective;

Meanwhile here we are on a forum of randos from the internet, and half the thread is people noting that heart attacks have different symptoms in men and women. So what's the doctor's excuse?

I'm not saying this to argue with you, I mostly agree. The point is if that's the explanation, it's a pretty pitiful one.
You could, yes. We don't take over the controls and simply pass input to the system mouse and keyboard or to the controller we emulate on the machine. So you could stream to your mac and play using your PC's keyboard and mouse.

No, it is not that simple.

Your argumentation rests on the assumption that people are convinced only through reason. There are several professions and industries that work just by considering that to be naive.

Prejudices, herd mentality, fear, anger and a lot more biological drives are the main drivers of most people beliefs. "Reason" is just a make up and varnish they apply to make it less ugly.
I second that. To me this fall into the same "fake" sources...
I 100% disagree.

CDA 230 doesn't give platforms the right to host content without reviewing or moderating it. That seems to be a very common misperception. Platforms already had that right - that was what was implied by the Cubby and Stratton Oakmont cases [0]. What CDA 230 did was allow platforms to moderate their content without assuming liability for it. If you're saying "there isn't enough moderation, so let's kill CDA 230" in my opinion you've got things completely backwards.

I absolutely agree with you.

> Raise his platform. Discuss him. Debunk his ideas....

Why? He and his followers are "not even wrong". I wouldn't argue with any of them for any longer than I would any (other) anti-science person. It's simply not worth the effort (they aren't in reach of reason) and possibly harmful besides (it validates/confirms for them that their views have credibility enough to merit rebuttal).
He's atop Google search today, and articles on his site about "the purge" have far more engagement than others, so apparently many are seeking him out in light of the news.
@diego_moita I never actually said reason was the only tool in your kit. Rhetoric is broader than that.

I recommend reading the Onyx forum on Mobileread (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=220) before making any decisions. In particular, the vendor that you buy from will make a big difference in your support experience - Booxtor's store (https://ereader.store/en/) is a good place since they tend to release firmware updates proactively and work on the above forum to troubleshoot issues.

Onyx is an interesting company. Their devices are amazing IMO (e.g. the Boox Max 2) but some of the issues that people encounter has tended to scare me a bit. I still hope to get a 13.3" Android-based e-reader some day.

Say what you like about his content, but it is not fringe.

This is a man spouting off that there is evidence that Michelle Obama is a man [1]. If that's not a fringe idea I'd like to know what you think one is. To me a fringe idea is one that is so obviously wrong that it is not worth considering its merits.

Doubtless there are many fools willing to consider the 'facts' surrounding Michelle Obama's gender but they are wackos. His ideas are not worth debunking. They are prima facie false. Discussing his punditry gives credence to the notion that his ideas are worthy of consideration. They are not.

His followers will not see him for what he is. They are clearly impervious to facts and reasoning. Anyone willing to follow the rantings of a man spouting off Alex Jones' nonsense is beyond being able to be reasoned with.

Now that he knows where the line is, he'll step back behind it. The pressure from the many fans of his will pressure the companies to put him back on, because he promised to be good.

Just a guess.
The larger concern here isn't the laws of the US. It's the power that internet giants have to shape the opinions that flow through the media.

That power cannot be underestimated. Consider how the leaders of both China and Russia have overwhelming popular support and poll better than any democratic leaders in the world. Google doesn't have anywhere near the influence over media that the CCP does, but its influence is considerable and its reach is nearly global.
I left it off, because i don't think the higher assessed risk of default than prime loans is relevant for explaining that the true cause is the fraud and purposeful misstating of actual risk. The same thing could have happened with prime loans as well. Yeah, subprime loans are riskier than prime, but that doesn't matter when something is being repackaged as being less risky than it actually is.

And even when we talk about why the loans defaulted, the issue isn't that the loans were subprime instead of prime and that that was due to a higher risk of default. It's that the loan was given based on falsified data to cover up reasons that should have prevented the loan from being given (almost always due to a debt:income ratio that was much too high), the borrower was advised by fiduciaries to take more than they should have given their income, and the preferred loan type was one where the the necessary payment ballooned massively after a set time period, which meant that when the payment when up the borrower would be unable to pay the higher payment because of how far they were stretched by the base payment, because the borrower was advised that they would be able to refinance at a lower rate due to an expected-by-their-fiduciary rise in equity.
> You can't force a company or an individual to listen to your opinion on whether penguins are the greatest birds alive.

No, that's wrong. The government can force a company to provide services to someone, despite however much that company may disagree them, their views, or their identity. A lot of anti-discrimination law works that way. For instance: private individuals have the right not associate with a particular person for any reason, but companies do not.

I think the reason why Alex Jones became popular is because the mainstream news websites like CNN and even sections of the NYT became more Jones-like in their reporting. When people are just choosing between different sensationalist conspiracy theory websites it becomes much more challenging for ordinary people to pick a quality outlet.

The thing is that most of the web and the printed word is spam that will actively confuse you the more that you read it. Compare the newspaper to a cookbook. The cookbook, if it's good, can be tested for effectiveness quite readily even allowing for variations in things like your ingredients and how your oven functions as compared to the one in the author's test kitchen.

The news isn't all that different from Maury Pauvitch and it seems to get worse every year. You would probably at least learn a little about how small claims court works by watching daytime TV but you learn less than nothing from having poorly sourced propaganda piped into your brain at 1080p/60fps. People who watch Maury aren't under the impression that they're being elevated, but people addicted to the news are suffering from that delusion.

Same here. I don't agree with anything he says, but banning him from these platforms sets a bad precedent. The way to fight ignorance is with education.

If anything, this will enforce their persecution complex. Now Alex Jones will say, "See? Big media doesn't want you to know the things I'm telling you." And he'll be right.
