Anyone who's used both, how does it compare to Google's internal tooling?

Freedom of speech is the concept, and 1st amendment is an implementation. The maximal possible implementation given the rest of constitution that came before it. So it's not just g…

While I agree in principle, it's not true in practice. Look at the debate around making Internet access a right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_Internet_access Same debate …

The Right to Freedom from Misinformation.

It's not going to happen. People want to veg out after a hard day of work, most are not going to volunteer even if all video games and social media ended tonight.

> not an expert in game theory, politics, economics, or anything else involving policies affecting 350M+ people To be fair, neither are most politicians.

This is the thing. WFH at Google is an option now, but the uptake hasn't been as huge as people here might expect.

Calling 911 is one of those times when I really, really don't want to see permission popups. If I'm in a car crash, I ain't going to be lucid enough to make sure the permissions ar…

And what happens when real fraud does occur?

> Possibly to drive between their various houses? I'm guessing this is the old joke about Eric Schmidt?

To be fair, Google, Facebook, et al chose to have monorepos when they were startups, so it's not necessarily cargo culting to look at what they did. I'd argue part of the success w…

A company like Apple probably deals with hundreds of major lawsuits per year. Must be thousands of smaller cases too.

Probably more than 2.4 people, which is the average household size in the UK, for example.

We lived in tribes, not pseudo-prison cells with just yourself or your family at best.

Is this any different from what a human is doing? I would also say that the approaches taken by something like AlphaGo are more interesting, too. Because unlike chess the solution …

A proper fix is better than an instant fix.

It's not indexed for some reason. Even in the provided list of craters.

If your services are backwards compatible to talk to each other, then you don't need to release instantly. Making breaking changes is tricky, but you don't need to release everythi…

True, but I guess it's worth mentioning that OW is the primary method of cheater controls nowadays. In-game report button, VAC, VACNet, Prime MM, Trust Factor, etc... are the other…

Speech is violence nowadays. Silence is also violence. One of these days, I'm going to go live in the woods and no internet. People clearly do not want a free society anymore so I …

But isn't the flip side of all this censorship a reduced ability for people to tell bullshit from reality? Why is information intelligence not taught in schools? Much like an immun…
