Could you please elaborate on what you mean? Facebook is a company and therefore its success and failure is dependent on its customers/users, right?

My argument is based on free-market economics. The users/customers seem to not care enough to put their time and money elsewhere.

The author seems to be filled with a sense of “knight-in-shining-armor-ism.” If Facebook’s actions really are a problem to most people, then most people would stop using it. He cal…

A regulation like that has to be examined for the incentives it creates, not just the goal. If companies are forced to disclose research that involves customer or public harm, they…

Thank you for sharing the link. I like the idea of standardization among smaller social media platforms. Basically, the success of a platform built on ActivityPub becomes more tied…

It seems like all new social networks have a vicious fact to overcome: nobody's on it, so nobody uses it, so nobody's on it. How do social networks reach that "critical mass" of us…

The argument was that Facebook is neutral as a platform. Similar to the internet, it serves all kinds of content. Some of the content is good, and some is bad. That doesn't necessa…

An alternate explanation is that the algorithm tries to promote engagement and user retention. Presumably, people susceptible to radicalization engage with the content discussed in…

Digital advertising is much more accessible for the small fish too. If a business has a Facebook presence, $10/day can get a campaign going, and scaling it up is trivial.

Facebook for example has a “tracking pixel” script that can be included in your website to get detailed info about conversions from Facebook ads.

This article is just trying to sell the reader on the "Rare Breed" idea. For every successful "Rare Breed," there are nine who failed. I say let the companies decide who they want …

OK, that seems fine. I know YouTube's automatic DMCA policies are notoriously bad, but it sounds like this is a more accurate manual approach.

How does YouTube separate content presented as fact vs content presented as opinion? False facts is one thing, but what if someone is just hesitant about vaccine safety?

What is the advantage of Fortran over only C in numpy’s case specifically?

> in mice A helpful clarification.

I've heard good marriages described as a 100 / 100 partnership, not just a 50 / 50 one. You described that idea excellently, thank you.

Religion generally claims to offer salvation. Of course, not all people believe that. However, that is probably its biggest difference from any secular organization.

I have a problem with the way the author frames social media. I seem to not clearly fall into either the observer or validator camp. I generally use social media as a way to try to…

Glad to hear it! Seems like not too long ago mobile devices were worthless after a few years, but those days are past.

I love the conviction of your comment! Thank you for sharing that testimony. It is often overlooked in discussions like these.

Can anyone speak for iPhone 6S performance with 15? I'm on 14 currently and it runs quite smoothly. I assume it would be similar on 15.

Command Palette is really useful. However, there are some UI quirks with text layers, selecting layers, etc that I never quite got the hang of.

I agree with this. Religiously, I believe plants and animals are for the benefit of mankind. However, they must be used responsibly.
