While the calculation is not wrong, there are other factors at play in Meta's decisions. First, how likely is it that similar rulings happen in other states or countries? While pro…

Wait, aren't they just licence plate readers? How do they help with all these other crimes?

Still, that defeats the purpose.

You analogy makes no sense. "I complain about some people doing X openly while I ignore others also doing the same X behind the scenes" is absolutely not equivalent to: "Complainin…

I don't think the comment you are replying to is giving up leverage. It's simply pointing to the OP that what he seems to be upset is not the thing itself, which everyone does, but…

> "murdering" is universally considered as "bad" Societies that practice(d) slavery and human sacrifice clearly do not share such a "universal" value.

Overall, intent is quite hard to prove. You would need to access internal documents and communications that explicitly direct the military. That's probably not going to happen. How…

> Adult men have the highest casualties And 30% of casualties are children. The two are not mutually exclusive and this is the data point currently under scrutiny.

> There are enough people who would pay any money to have an electric Ferrari. Are there? That's a pretty bold claim. I'm sure they think the same at Ferrari, but plenty of success…

I think that the problem arises because people equate things that are not the same. One person learning something is good. At scale, that becomes everyone learning something. That'…

I don't understand the endgame here. Websites let Google crawl their content in exchange of traffic. If Google cuts that out completely, what incentive do websites have to not bloc…

It does not matter what standing Musk has, the question is the important part, not the asker. You can accuse him of hipocrisy and that still makes no difference. He can still be th…

As I read around, this lawsuit raised an important question: can a non-profit become a for-profit company? To that extent, what Musk was happy or unhappy with is irrelevant. What i…

Also, when most work is unproductive, like managers shuffling around and relabeling issues, you can remove those managers without affecting output.

This is an idea I had in mind since I started developing for the Mac 20(!) years ago. I obviously never even got to create a prototype, so it's cool to see someone finally implemen…

> Natural selection will take care of them in due course. While you are seemingly not at the moment, some day you might be at the receiving end of that "natural selection" in ways …
