They always have the Dems on board. Every little plot they do.

Christine Blasey Ford, Eric Ciamarella, it never ends. They'll find one person to exploit or pay off (respectively) and create a show around them.

Their base will get riled up, the R base will see through it but be ignored and dehumanized.

Also, FB is more conservative overall in the US as it attracts an older audience. Dems are more likely to be on Twitter and other social media.
> The goal is to regulate Facebook into oblivion.

No, the goal is to regulate Facebook so that the Democratic party controls what you are and aren't allowed to see on Facebook. It's entirely about power and control and anything else is just lies and distortion.
Can you give an example of this? I can't think of any myself - generators also raise a StopIteration exception, for instance, so they could use the same value.
From the article, it appears like Maestro had a fixed fee, while Visa has a percentage of the transaction amount. Visa claims that small transactions might be getting a bit cheaper, but for big ticket items, the transaction obviously is considerably more expensive.

I enjoy the tag line for Adam Curtis' Hypernormalisation: "They know we know they lie". So for them, the game becomes to make everything look like a lie so that we can't distinguish what the truth is. Demonizing media and creating fractured narratives is the prime way to accomplish this.
Depends on the resolution. If a developer is able to use another payment processor alongside Apple's payment system, and set different price points to recover the respective fees, the buyer would be able to decide whether adding Apple as an intermediary is worth the price premium. Currently, the buyer does not have such a choice. They must involve Apple and pay the price premium if they want to make the purchase.

Also, adding Apple as an intermediary increases the buyer's privacy exposure in some cases. If the buyer already has an account with the developer's service and makes a purchase that is linked to the account, interjecting Apple into the equation would reveal the purchase to both Apple and the developer, instead of just the developer.
I have a very hard time keeping track of when my favorite authors have released a new book, primarily as I do not trust Amazon/Goodreads. And no one else (electronic) can reliably notify me about this. Heck Kobo, Powell's etc, can't even reliably show books by authors they know I read on their websites.

(Also it's hours in a car to the nearest physical new book store.)
The tax code (as written) doesn't even let you personally make repairs to property owned in a self-directed IRA. (Otherwise, you'd be able to work tax-free to improve an asset in your IRA.)
I think more are angry with the media than simply confused.
I’ve never known anyone to own a property as an IRA holding. Is that possible??
Yeah, this news belongs in the pile "Things advertisers will probably care about," but it doesn't have a universal moral / ethical category. It's more a side-effect of existing rules being applied to an unusual circumstance (I doubt the rules were written with an eye towards "What if Facebook is down a whole day?" because that isn't supposed to ever happen). Some advertisers won't like the outcome, some will be ambivalent to it.
Well some way along capitalism it was "found" that it's more effective to spend the money you could use to improve a product to actually brainwash people into buying the product (what would be ads here).

Ultimately it's also our, the "mass consumers" fault for behaving this way, and for not upholding a certain value regarding choosing a more quality-oriented product/service.(and i might add: consuming less instead of more frequently)

It's not really a fault of "capitalism", just reflects the commodity some people fall into.Ads were always there,and they always be, we just massively expanded the information mediums where ads could be implemented.

> Over time, the needle has moved further towards the idea that anyone can be offended by anything anyone else says.

What do you mean by this? Are you talking about some contrived example where one person had their parents murdered by a maniac while shouting "bicycle" over and over which causes that word to be triggering ptsd for that individual. In that case that idea is correct since that, hypothetically, can happen for _any_ word yes. But how is that relevant to any of this?
> I think the biggest issue with news media are the click-bait and flashy headlines/animations all over. CNN loves Breaking News on everything.

The internet is a major culprit in the shift towards clickbait headlines. Sure, the cable news cycle started before the internet went mainstream, but the shift towards digital media hollowed out print media's subscription base and never recovered. The shift towards clickbait was a survival strategy and we have all suffered for it.

It's also worth pointing out that PBS is largely funded by the government and has strict requirements on ensuring broadcasts are balanced politically.
It's been so long since a company reached Facebook's heights and fell that a whole generation doesn't know what it looks like. AOL was the Facebook of its time: a joke to system admins, a default ban on small game servers and IRC channels. Meanwhile, most people had no idea anyone had a problem with AOL. Like with Facebook, there were people reporting on its follies like Observers.net[0], but it mostly went unremarked on or unnoticed by most people. Until it changed. AOL is around, as Facebook likely will be, but it'll see a similar fall, and no one will see it coming.

Note how similar this is to the reports on what Facebook moderators deal with.
If someone knew how to make not-shitty facebook, they'ed very quickly make tens of billions of dollars, achieve fame in the public sphere, respect in the technical sphere, and influence in the political sphere. Facebook would go the way of myspace and we would all rejoice.

The fact that, despite the immense incentive and numerous attempts, no one has ever succeeded at making not-shitty facebook strongly suggests it is an incredibly difficult thing to do. All the criticism in the world means nothing if no one can do better.
I added the bit about building a community as an addition to my original comment :-)
A bank having assets to only cover 100% of its liabilities would be in violation of banking regulations. Since the 2008 financial crisis, the general breakpoint you're looking for is about 110% as the minimum asset-to-liability ratio for a viable bank.

There's also this not-small matter of making sure that banks aren't relying on overly optimistic valuations that won't bear out, especially in a dire market (if you're a too-big-to-fail bank, the government looks at your books and run its own numbers assuming a pretty severe economic crisis). In this regard, Tether's non-transparency is ringing alarm klaxons.

What you said makes no sense. If I'm only judged by how much money I have, then even if I have $0 I'm still a billionaire?
I think it is missing something foundational. People have preferences over both production and consumption. Perhaps Mr A likes to consume X, but hates the work involved in producing X. Meanwhile Mr B likes to consume Y but hates the work involved in producing Y. Rather that A doing without X and B doing without Y, they could team up, swapping chores. Mr A makes Y for Mr B and Mr B makes X for Mr A. That clearly makes them better off, and needs to be on the list of wealth-creation mechanisms.

But it sits awkwardly with the materialistic focus of the catalog. There are two people, producing the same things and consuming the same things, but with two scenarios with different levels of wealth. Ron's catalogue aggregates preferences; no difference in what work gets done? No difference in wealth.

That raises an awkward question about language. Do we say that wealth comes from diversity of preferences? Or do we say that wealth comes from specialization and trade? Sometimes the two mechanisms operate conjunctively. A diversity of preferences does not, in itself, generate wealth. The wealth only comes if, in addition, one does the trading to exploit the diversity of preferences. But that specific kind of trading only generates wealth if there is a suitable diversity of preferences to exploit.

That makes me doubt the value of a catalogue written as linear list. One needs to catalogue the package deals (for example: preference diversity AND trade).
There are a lot of concrete economic goods that don't have value on a deserted island. Iron ore, gold, or really any natural resource that requires a lot of processing will be useless on a deserted island.

In fact, the entire point of the "move things" category in the article is that things have different value in different places.
Where is the data available at?

You’re right, and that’s why the story is boring - nothing is going to happen.

Even if a majority could agree on a more heavy-handed approach to the tech giants (which it won’t), there’s been 0 discussion of the First Amendment implications of any proposed “solution.” For anyone who’s unsure or confused, the chances of the Roberts’ Court upholding content restrictions are zip. There will NEVER be a law that penalizes FB for promoting LEGAL SPEECH.
NFX Fast: Pre-Seed and Seed Funding in 9 Days

A better estimate of fully loaded cost is $350K. That's still a boatload of people if you take your simple estimate, but companies don't spend 100% of revenue on people.

Mozilla foundation has about 650 people which gives it a revenue per employee of around 600K, which is less than most SV companies.

The overall corporate spending looks very reasonable. You can look at their non-profit report: https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2019/mozilla-fdn-201...

From their report, their fully loaded cost is around $280K/FTE which is reasonable for anywhere in SF/SV.

Do you think the Democratic Party will ever admit that they lost in 2016 not because of "misinformation" or "fake news" or Russian interference or any of the other nefarious conspiracy theories they've promulgated, but because they put forward a terrible, unlikable candidate whom no-one was enthusiastic about and who offered nothing but sanctimony and a continuation of the failing status quo? Maybe it's not Facebook's fault?

Thank you! This is a very comprehensive tutorial, I'm sending it to my Kindle to study the rest of the day.

I only wished the headline was a little bit less generic. There are many tutorials about clustering with scikit-learn, but this one is specifically dealing with historical and religious data, which is interesting and unique.

Also, I really like the concept of "programmer historian". I can understand this perspective, since I'm defining myself as a "programmer translator/linguist" and I know that these kind of methods can be extremely useful for humanities professionals.
If you think about some tool or piece of equipment that has names for all the different parts that you had no idea even had names, but the people in that industry that use that tool require those names to make communication amongst themselves easier.

You can think of the "ice" and all of its "parts" important for those that spend much of their livelihood on and around it. If you're hunting or in a life or death situation in this environment, you'll want to be concise with your communication.
>Healthy skepticism towards having a few large corporations be the source of truth about the world is necessary to prevent manipulation and coercion of the public by a few wealthy individuals.

Manipulation is now in social media and other 'decentralized' platforms, but the money is still from the same people, just even less accountable.

I don't think it improved at all, quite the opposite in fact.
A bigger question is "Do Republicans trust their politicians". Trusting politicians but not the media seems like a dangerous combination when it comes to questioning those politicians behavior and intent.

>Where do these people get their news about the world?

The scary answer is likely, Facebook. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence here, but if anyone has researched it, I'd love to see an article about it.

> Do they just live in a constant state of mistrust

Likely yes. Again, going back to FB anecdota, there seems to be a significant portion of the population that mistrusts everything. Immigrants, minorities, government, anyone outside of their social group. A large portion of these peoples post are motivated by/or based on some kind of fear.
The problem is that your calendar is probably tied to your work email which is tied to your company's Active Directory and the company definitely wants to be able to revoke your access. Email and calendar clients hardly even try to present a single view of contacts, events, and messages from distinct sources in a privacy preserving way. When they do support merging views, it seems like it's way too easy to send an invite to the wrong calendar or schedule over the top of busy block that just happens to be on a different calendar.

The entire idea of multiple calendars is a poor abstraction. People (you, me) have upcoming events that they care about; other people want to schedule events that don't conflict. Some events are public, some are private, and some are so private that they are transparent and nonblocking.

Somehow we made it way harder than it needed to be.
One way the lobbyists avoid hammering Facebook is to argue that weakening Facebook means strengthening "Chinese" competitors, however true it is.

I'm thinking that Chinese tech like TikTok/Bytedance is more used to policing content compared to their American counterpart. My observation is that TikTok is more prone to banning users rather than say FB.
Is it possible to be Honest in Marketing?
I don't think Facebook's "... young, liberal staff" is going anywhere. They have experienced the power that comes with successfully shifting a global organization's culture, mission and product. Unfortunately, there are only so many hours in the day, and doing so hasn't given them enough time to actually do their jobs. The people that are left don't possess the tools to create and build anything of moment because that's not what they're good at and frankly, that's not why they were hired.

Facebook losing its young, liberal staff could be the best thing that has happened to the company in a long time, but that's not what's going to happen.
The regulator's antitrust case is probably much broader than IAPs, but the findings are not yet public.
"Blindly"
One fundamental precept of rational thought is that arguments speak for themselves. Claims exist independently of their speakers. You can't rebut an argument by suggesting that the person who made the argument has "chosen sides" or has any other characteristic whatsoever. You have to address the content of the argument itself. The human is irrelevant.

Everyone should read Greenwald's article. He makes a good case.

I agree that showing the shootings as anonymous events is superior to highlighting the shooters. I also think that this site is an even better version of that, showing how non-unique it makes a person when they commit an act like this. However I just personally believe in nurture over nature. I think that not reporting on anything like that at all will take away as I see it the largest motivation for any act of indiscriminate violence, which in my mind is notoriety of some sort. Then again maybe some see it as a way of killing themselves where there's no chance of turning back, similar to a suicidal person driving into oncoming traffic...their decision may just solely be about them, in which case why would it need to be on the national news in the first place?

The modern 401k laws are a giveaway to the financial industry. They stipulate extraordinary restrictions on what investors can/must _invest_ in and fundamentally transfer tremendous economic power and influence to “advisors” and the financiers attached to them.
