Then it would make sense to look at what makes California such a job wasteland and maybe try to fix it instead of limiting job opportunities even more.

Did they actually fund localisations? I'm unfamiliar with their process, but this article game me an impression that it was completely community driven.

Becoming an activist is also a path for making things worse for yourself or for those you care about, I'd like to avoid that.

What is this lost paradise taken away from us by industrialisation? Subsistence farming? You don't have to theorise if that was enjoyable lifestyle - just take a look on any developing nation and people that are more than eager to ditch that. Or do you propose we escape further back and live our lives as hunter-gatherers?

> this can be used for evilish things. You can absolutely keep track of how long someone keeps receiving your frames and use that for your analytics

There is nothing evil in analytics by itself - it's invaluable for improving usability.

Can't say that I disagree with your sentiment, but it's funny that getting automatically charged each time someone wishes to browse your content is the norm and no one bats the eye.

What was wrong with it, assuming it's factually correct?

Only partly true - you can install adblocker for safari on iOS and block ads just fine.

In a century you and everyone you know will be dead. So what difference does it really make?

Anyone who wants to reopen sooner than later, really.

> Why would governors want keep gyms and restaurants closed post-COVID?

A completely corrupt mayor could use this newfound power to solicit some political donations. There are plenty other possibilities, like the need to be seen responding to the crisis or "tough on the virus".

It is a victimless crime if there are no victims. Maybe shooter should be prosecuted for intent to kill someone in the crowd, but that's debatable.

It doesn't. You're free to replace it and switch to android (or better - linux) at any moment.

But how is that your problem if you cut Apple away from your life?

> at least one person died after following his advice

Correction: at least one democrat donor murdered her husband and used that advice as an excuse [1].

> Approximately 14% of press releases opposing climate action or denying the science behind climate change received major national news coverage, she found, compared to about 7% of press releases with pro-climate action messages.

There might be a very simple explanation: there are significantly more pro-climate change press releases, than anti. Comparing percentages without correcting for that seems to be dishonest.

I assume that in this case it indicates a direct quote.

It never went away. If you want experience similar to Google Reader - there are several clients (but better ones require paid subscription). RSS feeds are still there.

A lack of visible output bothered me so much that I had to compensate with hobbies.

I've used search several times, but each time I want to use it again I still waste time looking for it in the header instead of scrolling to the footer.

What are our options here? Some *.gov website that public isn't going to read?

AFAIK Twitter's internal tools allowed to reset emails and circumvent 2FA, not post as users.

I've made this suggestion because at first I didn't realise that you find FB's algorithmic sorting/curation useful. I tend to read (or at least skim) all of the content that I subscribe too and FB (and Twitter) are a bit hostile for this usecase.

It looks like you could improve your experience by switching from Facebook to any RSS reader.

Could you explain the situation with dowry harassment laws?

Tracking (especially first party) is not some shadowy value extraction scheme. You need at least some data to improve your service and understand what brings traffic to your page.

For me this particular story was notable because it was the first time I had (barely) enough expertise to realise that story is really implausible and enough interest to follow it up.

It's not that rogue journalist influencing stock market is bad, it's bad, but that's not the point. What really bothers me is that that there are no mechanisms on media company level to punish or at least disincentivize faulty reporting.

We encounter misinformation on a daily basis, but can't do anything about it. We can't even notice it, unless topic in question happens to fall in our area of expertise.

There is no accountability, no repercussions [1] for causing any amount of personal and economic damage. No real need to offer retraction and corrections even when reporting isn't just unethical, but also blatantly wrong.

If you want an easy example look at this Super Micro spy chip story [2] by Bloomberg Businessweek. It's absolutely unsubstantiated [3], caused 40% drop for SM share price, but two years later it's still up.

> society body emerge with a coalition of Pulitzer Prize winners ... backed by the biggest news media companies

If biggest media companies were interested in upholding any ethical standards - the would have been doing that already. Allowing them to create a coalition and giving that coalition any more power would make things only worse.

Significant part of the web is fast and works just fine. Sure experience on major news and media sites sucks, but you have to realise that it's caused by their monetisation model and not a platform itself.
