Eochei5h··on Instructions from Facebook not to touch the posts of the cabinet minister
If you know how to solve the network effect that would be great. Otherwise we might just end up trading one master for another.

Selective choice of inaction and complaints about that all play into the same tune, that facebook is the one doing the policing (sometimes). That's the root problem. If facebook were not the ultimate arbiter this article wouldn't have to exist in the first place.

The whole concept of "community standards" for a worldwide communication channel strikes me as newspeak for centralized moral policing.

Imagine the leading social network weren't facebook but vkontakte or weibo and they imposed their own standards on billions of people communicating with each other.

Filtering should be a tool available to individuals and delegatable to groups that are aligned with their own standards. As long as we don't get that there should be zero surprise about strain between differing standards.

Check the spec sheet of the bulbs, specifically the color temperature in kelvin. Ignore the "warm white" and similar marketing terms, they are too fuzzy.

A LED with low color temperature and high CRI should have pretty much the same spectrum as incandescent. If you want really low temperatures look for some retro filament style LED lights.

Eochei5h··on Google AMP – A 70% drop in our conversion rate
But you could still do that without amp.js. Google would just have to push a validator that checks whether a page is the AMP-subset of HTML and CSS, doesn't do any sync loading, etc. etc.

And then the engineer could point at validator results.

> There is no valid reason for this.

Provoking an opponent into irrational behavior seems like a valid game strategy. In other words the language is not necessarily used for its face content but for its psychological effects.

Most nasty things are rooted in group stereotypes, historic conflicts and the like. If it weren't divisive in some way it wouldn't be used as insult.
