I hope your realise life is more complicated. Yes meta may do this sometimes, but as an employer I’ve been fucked over plenty of times by flakey people. So what. You should judge each and every person and company for they are and their situation.
Sigh. Ok, hit me. How is he flexible with the truth? By talking at length with people from all political sides? What an unacceptable form of interviewing!
But the society wide impact of that has been a much more fearful people, obviously making parents more protective too.
When this last happened in the 1960s and 70s, when it was the left that was anti establishment, and didn’t want the Vietnam war, or didn’t want Christian orthodoxy imposed on society, the left was obsessed with free speech and being anti government organisations.
Suddenly no one can think beyond their own party and as long as these organizations interfering with speech are on their side, it’s fine.
People really need to think longer term. It only takes one very determined president or one sided congress and senate to completely change these organisations.
Frankly blaming actual entrepreneurs and business owners for the gains in the stock market is such a misguided target it’s insane. The only reason Musk, bezos and others have gotten so insanely rich recently is because the fed had increased its balance sheet by about $8trn. That money went somewhere.
But it’s not because of “rich people”.
It’s because a bunch of bankers destroyed the financial system in 2008, got bailed out, and never got criminally charged. It’s absolutely insane and it’s fuelling this completely misplaced neo Marxism.
Someone with a net worth of $1bn is not going to brazenly bet $500m because hey, who cares it’s only half my net worth. That’s ridiculous.
Just like this entire post and discussion. It’s a frustrated poor intellectuals self explanation for why they are unsuccessful.
It’s also the line of thinking that when taken to the extreme killed around 130m people in the 20th century.
So even in this stupid simulation, it just doesn’t work, as people get wealthier they actually risk less.
This whole article is Marxist academic bullshit, eaten up by Marxist upper class tech 20 year olds in this thread.
Also, many so called prophets can easily exploit this skill, which they might well do if that’s their personality type.
Just typing this out has made me think it’s almost like passing on wisdom and the religious experience are probably inseparable.
At the same time, I do think Elon's asperger type genius is definitely more suited to engineering startups, and Job's super sensitive artist level narcissism is more suited to UX intensive startups. Elon ventured where he shouldn't have.
How benevolent of the fbi to be making sure twitters users are compliant with twitters TOS! What a nice federal agency, making twitters moderation so much easier!
Moderation is about moderating bad behaviour of individuals. Censorship is blocking entire topics from discussion.
If you think it's underwhelming, just think how you'd feel if it would have been revealed that Don Trump Jr was smoking crack with prostitutes, and twitter blocked the story from spreading. 10 days before an election. Like seriously, think about that. Would you be fine with that?
Like what world are people living in here? It’s amazing elonjet has been public this long. This isn’t just about journalists or stalkers tracking him (and his family) it’s basically a national security issue.
Grow up. The us is in a proxy war with Russia and relations with China are worse by the day.
And also do a bit of research on what negative effects of lockdowns we are currently experiencing.
No one is suggesting this is all faucis fault, musk isn’t either, but he conflict of interest is highly suspicious and shouldn’t be ignored.
Please, back up your claims with actual evidence. And I specifically mentioned Musk, Sacks and Armstrong, so please produce evidence of far right people they are amplifying.
And if you are about to say Ron Desantis, he's a pretty middle of the road Republican by the standards of about 2010, so just because the woke left calls him far right in 2022 is pretty meaningless at this point. Oh, and he didn't ban saying gay by the way.
2. Ironically, what this account is doing is basically doxxing, whether the data is publicly available or not, it certainly makes it easier to track someone who has plenty of enemies.
3. If it was banned under Musk's instructions, that is pretty hypocritical after his tweet 2 weeks ago, but I still think it's a bit ridiculous to cite free speech issues being violated here when this is easily argued as a doxxing case.
I guess the same people believed Twitter didn’t either.
Whether it’s right or not is a different question, which is exactly what I am debating from both sides in my original comment.
Which is why you’re getting downvoted in case you’re interested
If you want to sell detergent or coca cola, you can advertise to everyone, because anyone can buy your product. If you want to advertise a new invention of a small light that catches mosquitos (which I recently bought from an IG ad), your market is pretty small and Facebook's targeting was actually pretty awesome at helping you build a business.
I'm not saying that collecting all this data is ok, but it is rather annoying that yet again, regulation just basically fucks with small businesses (and facebook), and in return we will again, only see toothpaste and detergent and perfume and german car ads everywhere.
The slowdown is already here. Birth rates are still collapsing. But people worldwide are living longer so the actual number of people is still increasing.
By the time you get to 10bn in 50 years, it means you will have the majority of that pretty old. It will mean a completely unsustainable world demographic. And it will probably mean a massive collapse in population to 2-3bn within a few generations.
No idea what that will bring, but it will be a very different society to now.
Yep, it is. But when you ride that wave it will be the most amazing experience of your life. Even if it is hard.
it’s your choice, but you’re definitely missing out on something special. Something we were genetically created to do (which makes it even better than surfing)
This just isn’t the root of the issue. It’s pretty common knowledge that mostly the richer a country is the less babies it has.
So, maybe research what the actual problem is, before projecting your own views of society on this issue
Are you saying the metoo movement was about physical aggressive rape of women?
Because it’s not. It’s about those in power exploiting their power for sex. And how is that done? Mostly by soft power, which you can’t say no to. Which is the whole premise of the parent comment.
For the other 2000 or more women, it was exactly what you say, he asked, and they had to say yes (to get anywhere)
They have a geographic advantage too, but no one had to make Singapore a central shipping hub, it could have been anywhere else.
This is how you do it. There’s no other way. Eastern Europe is an interesting work in progress at the same thing. But the Ukraine war has really put a spanner in the works.
