> “At the end of this period, we will look to experts to assess whether the risk to public safety has receded.”

Facebook should look at the mirror first before assessing the risk of another person or company.

In fact, they are the biggest risk to the entire world and public safety, given that the same disinformation campaigns are still running around its platform before, during and after Trump.
The staff are miserable because the pay is shit, and they’re likely collecting or eligible for welfare. The customers treat them like shit. The shit that happens in and around Walmart’s is soul destroying.

If Walmart started treating their staff like Costco we’d see a lot happier staff, and pay less taxes on entitlements.
Facebook was never a free speech platform - if the definition of "free speech" is "no moderation" or even "moderation only of strictly illegal content." No popular social media platform is (because most people want some degree of moderation), except possibly 4chan, and even they have their limits.

I applaud the Firefox team to make it possible to customize the UI at such level and I hope that it spawns a lot of beautiful plugins.

My biggest gripe is that the default UI doesn’t look like a typical default UI. It looks like a third party plugin that’ll most likely confuse more people than with a plain boring UI.
> This is still special treatment. If you or I were banned from Facebook, unless you're good friends with a staff member, we would likely be permanently banned.

Since this is supposedly the maximum penalty available for the reason for the suspension under the new framework, that seems unlikely unless it was for some reason not covered by the same rule.

Now, it may be that the most likely reason for bans are different than this one, but treating different actions differently isn’t special treatment.
One good (maybe the only one?) point in the article:

> Systemd uses its own vari-able expansion regime, slightly different from the shell’s...encouraging you to runsh -cif you have an actual pipelineto run. Dockerfiles and CI config files arealmostshell scripts,but there’s no convenient way to just execute theRUNcom-mands orscriptlists they contain. And few are the Vagrant-files that don’t call out to someprovision.shto set up de-pendencies. Giving up on the shell means that each ‘modern’system tool will have its own janky quasi-shell language:a decidedly worse situation.
As a general rule, I think it's unwise to attribute to conspiracy that which can be sufficiently explained by incentive structures and existing rule frameworks.

It's nice to pretend someone's in charge of all the bad things that happen, but as They Might Be Giants reminds us, most of the world is described by individual actors doing what they can get away with in individual circumstances.

Money is fungible. Aid that goes to paying non exec employees frees up money to be used for bonuses, so aid went to bonuses.

I think people are more mad at the idea that companies that didn’t need aid got aid.
I think this year has proven that a lot of people simply aren’t missed when they aren’t in the office.
Which flag?
This is the actual key to building MVPs. A good MVP provides exactly 1 way to do something impactful for a certain target customer base. If you have alternative paths/options/configurations, you built too much before testing in the market.
I've considered signing up for college classes in retirement, not only for library access but also to get access to the student health plans, which are remarkably cheap compared to ACA plans.

The only question is whether the cost of the college courses exceed the benefit of the cheaper health insurance, and whether I wish to dedicate the time to take the classes
Given the choice of paying back the 28 million in bonuses or the paying back the 65 million in state aid, the execs took the hard choice and decided to keep the bonuses.
As a reminder to not over-index on your personal bubble when evaluating companies that operate globally, Facebook's most recent quarterly results:

* Facebook daily active users (DAUs) – DAUs were 1.88 billion on average for March 2021, an increase of 8% year-over-year.

* Facebook monthly active users (MAUs) – MAUs were 2.85 billion as of March 31, 2021, an increase of 10% year-over-year.

* Family daily active people (DAP) – DAP was 2.72 billion on average for March 2021, an increase of 15% year-over-year.

* Family monthly active people (MAP) – MAP was 3.45 billion as of March 31, 2021, an increase of 15% year-over-year.
Thanks I haven't heard of that before. I will try installing this and see if it blocks the numbers from getting through.
It's still censorship.

The point here is the risk of our social communications being concentrated via a few large companies, who have ended up with an enormous amount of power to control speech online globally.
On top of that, it looks like the bonuses were not cash but mostly company shares. I don't see what's the problem with that...
In case of electricity, the precautions are relatively simple and well known. What are the precautions with ML-powered self driving? If the precaution is "requires constant human supervision" then it's a joke.
Just wait until you all start hearing about the punitive psychology being actively used by law enforcement against U.S. Citizens. Methods and procedures trained against Guantanamo detainees. Awful stuff to do to any human.
Yes, a free and legal exchange that meets the definition of censorship. Many famous censorship schemes operate entirely in the private sphere. The Hays code, for instance, censored movies for decades and existed purely in contracts between movie distributors.
Definitely, and Brian Harvey's books go a long way to showing just that: Logo is a full fledged language with wonderful pedagogical value, as well as a neat tool for easy exploratory programming, possibly better than more modern options like Python that suck all the air out of the room right now.

Im really not surprised at all. As the other individual mentioned, its convenient for 2024 purposes. And its the best thing for the GOP if they do let him run, so as he cannot do any more damage of what is left.

At least they went through an elaborate oversight procedure to do it. It's not like the usual "We're cancelling your account and not telling you why", or, worse, PayPal's "we're cancelling your account and holding your money for six months".

It is a bit hard for me to form an opinion on the UI design as yet. But this release has been forced on me by their auto-update feature (no choice to wait with updating), and since then after opening FF it freezes my entire Ubuntu 18 to the point where I have to restart. In app reviews I saw I wasn't the only one with this issue.
So without state aid they would pay out bonuses but not regular pay to employees?
There was another submission about tank man, just a CNN article on it. That submission has been marked as a dupe, despite the link not appearing in a recent search.

If they didn’t need the money in the first place why was it given to them?
I deleted my Facebook in July 2019, but what another user says is important: Facebook has enough users to swing an election if they want to.

Displaying the message "Go vote!" to likely voters of X, while flooding the walls of likely voters of Y with ballast is going to do something. The question is if we want to tolerate this risk of targeted manipulation.

As far as the old capability vs. intent pair goes, it is pretty certain that FB has the necessary capability. As far as intent goes, that can change on a moment's notice.

It is also not just the USA we are speaking of. Facebook campaigns are huge in other democratic states. And they want to add their two cents to the conversation.

All of this based on The Big Lie that Jan 6th was a violent, armed insurrection, invading the Capitol.

There's plenty of video evidence showing the Capitol police ushering people in.

And the only demonstrator who died directly from the walk-in was Ashli Babbitt, shot by a still un-named and un-indicted person.

The officer who was claimed to have been killed by the "invasion" died later of a pre-existing condition, as confirmed by his family.

But you'll never hear this from the corrupt MSM.

Congress bans things based on pop culture fiction movies all the time. They banned switchblade knives in 1958 because of gangster movies. Half the federal firearm regulations (such as the Undetectable Firearms Act) seem to be motivated by learning about guns from action movies.
I hope you're not suggesting that this ban was "censorship", because the user being reprimanded had clearly violated the TOS, which meant that Facebook has no legal obligation to provide them service.
No, they are confirmed throwing it away in the next release.
Trump doesn’t need a Facebook presence to be visible in American politics. Adjacent Facebook pages will still post about him and what he’s up to. News companies will still report on what he says (because it is newsworthy). He will still be a major topic of conversation on broadcast television and radio which still has a major audience.

Hard choice indeed
I've gotta give them props for the persistence. I would have just given up and bought a new iPhone. It's impressive that the iPhone survived the whole ordeal, without even turning off. And the amount of stuff they found makes me wonder why people don't use magnets on strings to search for lost things in European canals more often. Could be an interesting hobby.
I think one of the relevant passages is:

> Suppose you run a golf course in Manitoba focused exclusively on your local area, but sometimes people in France stumble across your site. Would you find yourself in the crosshairs of European regulators? It’s not likely. But technically you could be held accountable for tracking these data.

This, combined with the <250 employees = lower obligations, seems to indicate one should worry about the GDPR but in proportion to the size of your company (outside the EU).

The bigger you are, the more seriously you should take it, I guess?
If it applies or not us irrelevant, what only matters is to what degree is it able to be enforced (and in practice) against companies that have no assets under EU jurisdiction. From what I gather, it's very little, so most smaller companies simply don't care.
Nice! I edited that link into my comment higher up the thread too, definitely a better starting point for someone than the random reddit thread I linked!
I think he explained it a little better. I totally understand that you'll learn to identify which frequencies and sounds belong to which instrument and in turn learn to identify when those are missing.

I guess that also teaches your ears to identify differences in other situations more clearly.

That's what mixing and mastering engineers practice their whole career and get really good at.
Yeah, I didn't intend that as a slight against the employees. It's just another thing that makes shopping there unpleasant. I don't expect that employees at a store like that put on a bunch of fake-happiness for my sake, but Wal-Mart's give off strong "I hate this shit" vibes that I don't get other places. I don't blame them (the employees) for it, though.

I mean you're writing with a chat support agent. Presumably, you're not spending remotely enough money to even be communicating with an agent who is hired by google.

Support people are busy, dealing with all kinds of bullshit, with very little time.

Frankly I think it's a bit of dick move that you censored your website but didn't bother censoring the guys name.
They laid off a lot of regular workers during COVID. The funds were intended to help workers. Even netting out the bonuses, it's not a good look.
The article implies a lot of risk for having so much personal data circulating around without our control. but the article, and many others like it fail to show how all that risk can adversely affect us.

I mean, so what if my neighbor gets a different ad than I did? maybe he's into red shirts and I like blue shirts. so what if he got a cheaper plane ticket advertisement? I'm not going to buy a ticket unless it's cheap enough to do so. so what if i didn't get an advertisment for a college degree, it's not going to impact whether or not I'm going back to school, etc. so what if an ad uses emotional language specifically targetted towards my political demographic, it's not going to make a difference to me after I investigate the matter objectively.
What question exactly ? I don't see a question in the chat.
I used to use Safari, until Big Sur came out and ruined its UI by making the contrast way too low -- I was having trouble even distinguishing where the page content ended and the browser chrome began at a glance.

So I switched to Firefox a few months back... It's disappointing that they've now made exactly the same mistake, but at least there's Firefox Color [1] that allows me to easily restore some contrast without spending time writing my own CSS.

That's such a fascinating story. In the US you couldn't do that because people would sue. In Japan, they took it as something of value. I mean positive thinking even in the event of a "master-slave relationship."

Really? Show us.
There certainly are firms that will sell a dossier on you employers or anyone else who wants it, it's just not any of the players mentioned in the article. That's why I hate these articles filled with non sequitur fuzzy thinking. If you want to end the data economy you need to start with the real players: telcos, payment processing networks, ISPs, insurance companies, credit bureaus.
> Prosecutors Stephen Heymann and Carmen Ortiz didn't dispute that Aaron was allowed to access the articles he retrieved. Rather, they said that the WAY he accessed them (using a script instead of clicking on links) was a terms-of-service violation and hence a crime.

The way M is used so inconsistently always means I have to stop and ponder the context when I read it.
From wikipedia[1]:

> Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient." Censorship can be conducted by governments, private institutions, and other controlling bodies.

>To be frank, your responses show a naive understanding of how the world works and human behavior.

When it comes to pandemics, this is how the world health authorities have done things. There very much was a lot of world collaboration and transparency around epidemics and pandemics. So don't gaslight and say that this is somehow 'naïve'. That's how everybody did things, until China decided it would be embarrassing to them. Hell they were silencing and incarcerating doctors and frontline workers when they suggested there is some sort of a new virus out there as late as January 2020.

This is the modus operandi of communist and authoritarian regimes.

>My comment is simply an observation of the way things are, not the way I would want them to be.

You literally said that had Trump insulted your honor you would have lied and obfuscated the same way that China did. Here's your statement (emphasis mine): "our idiotic president calling it the Chinese virus from the start, why in the hell would China want to be upfront about what they knew about the origin if it indeed was a lab leak? I WOULDN'T."

How is that not an immoral statement.

>If you believe that, then I don't know what to say.

I'm under no illusions when it comes to the general idea that nations are always truthful - they aren't. I didn't make a general statement. I scoped it to transparency around epidemics and pandemics. And yes, the vast majority of nations (not just the West) are very transparent on this point. China is a major outlier here.
I’m familiar with the arguments on how higher minimum wages may harm the lower classes, but how would UBI “devastate” them?

We can bring back the manufacturing, but the jobs are highly unlikely to follow. Rather than 800 unionized workers working the assembly lines, it’s 8 robotics technicians overseeing the machines. This ratio will, obviously, vary depending upon exactly the product being manufactured.
I sense this would have been in the Bill of Rights had the notion been around back then. They knew the government needed to protect property rights as a fundamental principle and that is written throughout the legal code and constitution. So endowing citizens with ownership of the date of where they are, what they’re doing, and how they use sites seem like extensions of the personal property right. In a sane universe, there might only need to be a Supreme Court judgement somehow establishing this from the current legalization, for that matter.
This could also be to loosening bot policy though. As companies struggle to show growth, internal decisions are often made to allow for additional leniency regarding what counts as a "user".
Well, a great deal of the money was to forestall layoffs; discount-rate labor doesn't do you much good if you don't need it.

There are a lot of jobs and companies where they don't want to go through the additional effort of hiring an individual from another country that has different tax laws, worker protection, insurance requirements, infrastructure availability... along with the implications of the company having a presence in that country.

There are sufficiently many companies in the US that don't even like doing this across state lines - much less international boundaries.

I won't argue with the "bad and entitled" aspect. I've seen that when doing interviews myself. There's a bit of "if you've got 1000 applications for three different positions, 900 of them are the same across those positions that are having difficulty getting hired". From https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/09/06/finding-great-deve...

> Astute readers, I expect, will point out that I’m leaving out the largest group yet, the solid, competent people. They’re on the market more than the great people, but less than the incompetent, and all in all they will show up in small numbers in your 1000 resume pile, but for the most part, almost every hiring manager in Palo Alto right now with 1000 resumes on their desk has the same exact set of 970 resumes from the same minority of 970 incompetent people that are applying for every job in Palo Alto, and probably will be for life, and only 30 resumes even worth considering, of which maybe, rarely, one is a great programmer. OK, maybe not even one. And figuring out how to find those needles in a haystack, we shall see, is possible but not easy.

There's an entire thread to head off on for the why this is the case.

I will claim that for places where the salary isn't tech company stratospheric, the average entitlement goes down a bit.
