Sounds like great idea, but can’t seem to find some key info: which “public ledger” is used here? A blockchain? If so, there would need to be a massive fee overhead. If not, then h…

That’s exactly it. I view it almost like Newtonian physics. Sure, it’s inaccurate at some level, but until we find a superior model, it’s safer to make your investment decisions ba…

Same here, with the caveat that Google has managed to successfully bully me into paying for Premium some time ago. Not sure if any Premium users are affected.

Are you disagreeing with the “chilling effect” section of the article, or are you implying the effect could not have been real due to the current length of the article?

If a major government agency repeatedly requests you follow certain guidelines and gets frustrated when you don’t, it might be reasonable to feel pressured or threatened, even if t…

I assume he’s familiar with the transparency standards of his own site. And he still calls whatever happened pressure. So it’s entirely possible it wasn’t as innocuous as you sugge…

Did Zuckerberg himself support conspiracy theories? Or does he regret succumbing to government requests for censoring that type of content? Sounds to me like he wants to allow cert…

Can’t find the claim about the statement not being political anywhere in the linked article. But there’s this: > Meta’s CEO aired his grievances in a letter Monday to the House Jud…

Also, it will likely only improve. I expect that none of us here will be able to get a 10/10 on similar tests a decade from now. Or much sooner.

I wonder if companies are now more likely to keep those postings open despite not actually hiring. I’m personally (and of course anecdotally) aware of a number of such cases.

I hope he flushed the DNS afterwards.

> It's similar to SSH works, but with SSH you'd need your Pi exposed to the Internet. How does Pi Connect’s access differ from regular port forwarding? Isn’t the device still expos…

It is inaccurate to say “Boeing has retaliated” if some employees among over a hundred thousand did so. Given that size, I’m sure there are plenty of illegal or unethical acts you …

Is there any indication in the quoted statement that the retaliations were initiated or supported by the company management? If not, the headline remains inaccurate.

I obviously have no insight into whether or not the company engaged in whistleblower retaliation or intimidation practices. But that is a different argument from whether or not the…

So, according to the actual statement, the perpetrators were employees who were subsequently disciplined or fired. There’s no indication that the practice was company policy, encou…

To my knowledge, organizations like the WHO and countries like Brazil reported weaker effectiveness of the Chinese jabs compared to the likes of Pfizer. I’m not familiar with even …

So part of what you’re angry about is not based on known facts. If the leak never comes, will you retract your comment?

Per the article, the China vaccines are not as effective: > Although the Chinese vaccines were found to be less effective than the American-led shots by Pfizer and Moderna, all wer…

Setting aside the ethics of propaganda being targeted at any group and the loathsomeness of this particular campaign, they were pretending to be foreign nationals and posting in fo…
