This reads like a male hit piece. It seems the author’s goal is to fight misogyny with misandry. Pot meet kettle?

Gender nor race are requirements for these experiences. They likely emerge from corporate bureaucracy and human insecurity.

I agree mostly.

However, I think we need to add that being one of "the most productive engines of society" comes with great responsibility. The record profits for share holders and executives may not be enough incentive to maintain appropriate levels of that responsibility.

No one wants this. It’s a gimmick. Google glass was 2013.

Trick my brain into believing it is in another world. That is what is exciting. This is what your consumers want. An escape from this world into another. Sometimes it’s there, most of the time it’s not.

Did the 10 independent experts provide any evidence for these new claims? I can not find any in the article you have provided. I believe you should confine your assertion to “high risk” as the article states.

FTA: “ In its most recent evaluation, carried out last month, the IPC said Gaza remains at “high risk” of famine as the war continues and aid access is restricted, but stopped short of classifying conditions as a famine.

Politicians could be well intentioned. They may find it much more difficult to accomplish those promises once in office, with the majority of hurdles being out of their control.

Did any of your subjective internal experiences create objective results?

In the article, they mention both the Trump and Biden administrations initiating investigations. Only since Obama, has this been “approved”.

What leads you to believe it would most likely be dropped?

Who hired the engineer? It seems like they failed to make a successful hire, but that happens sometimes.

>but I kind of want to have a conversation about how they code, what they do, what their method and see if it rings true.

I think these are great ideas. What kinds of things were you asking in your interviews?

I think you may be assuming the parent poster's definition of minority.

You had me until poison darts!

I would take this a step further and make it required that companies create an easy way for users to opt-out of this type of content.

You can also partially opt-out: https://optout.lexisnexis.com/

What's with the redactions? Would that information change any of the context? I understand redacting an email address, but hmmm. This doesn't scream transparency, or open, by any means.

It greatly depends on location and actual material used. I currently own indoor stained “stainless” appliances in a coastal area.

While I understand the idea, who would buy these properties they likely may want to sell to escape these rising costs?

Perhaps mothers could stay at home with their children. Relieving the cost of child care.

I feel like this a great point. As an American, I’m not labeled as any particular religion. I honestly wish there were no labels at all. I would much rather look at things as right and wrong based on the specific situation.

The goal, in my opinion, is division. Without it, they have nothing.

Peace above all!

Great point! I've always heard "There's good, fast, and cheap. Pick Two."

We would need to assume that each of those events was spread out over the entirety of the 20 years. All 5 occasions could have happened between 2003 and 2007, and fifteen years passed before the next. Each time the cracks were repaired.

Without a true timeline of events, its hard to say for sure.

The way I understood it was inspections have always been done. The original cracks were repaired. New ones did not show up until 2022.

Why are we against modifying our processes to align with a particular software platform? Maybe it is much easier to follow such guidelines during the early stages of a company, but much harder later on. Do standards exist in billing systems?

The state cured my porn habit with this method.

Most forms I have seen asking for this information now include the option to not disclose it. “Prefer not to answer”

I believe the data is being collected to help prevent discrimination based on any of those characteristics.

I have heard this role thrown around a lot more recently in our progression to cloud deployments. I still haven’t decided if this is just an attempt by companies to get even more work out of a single employee, or this new combined role is really a necessity.

>That being said, I am now running into what I call the "Non-App Tax". The most prominent example I can think of in my own experience is my towns local parking payment system. You actually don't need to use the app to find parking or pay. You can scan a QR code and pay via text. Then I looked at the prices on the app vs prices via text and the prices were a decent amount higher ($1-2 more) and less flexible than if I had just used the app. Kinda shitty and I can absolutely see this becoming the norm.

Or a "discount" for using the app. /s

I interpreted it as:

We shouldn’t treat the addictions all that differently.

>That's not what's happening here. Facebook has a Dutch subdivision (Facebook Netherlands B.v.) and an office in Amsterdam. They're absolutely subject to Dutch law. They could leave, but the EU means that they'd be subject to this kind of order from a Dutch court unless they left the EU entirely, which would make it harder for EU companies to pay them for advertising, hurting their profits.

I agree that they are subject to the laws of the countries they operate in. I do not agree that a company should own all of the responsibility in making sure no Dutch citizens access their services. The idea that the internet would be different depending on where I access seems anti-internet.

When your business model relies on user data to generate profits, you have to collect it and that makes it discoverable.

> If Facebook wants to stay out of such cases, they should either leave the jurisdictions where such warrants are possible (so planet earth, probably) or they should enforce non-anonymous posts so plaintiffs can sue each other without involving a court warrant first.

How do you propose they leave?

Why is the responsibility on Meta to make sure users in a jurisdiction don’t sign up for their service? Surely some of this responsibility could fall on the user.

At what cost though? Surely the wealthy will continue on like nothing ever happened while the rest of us are here holding the bag.

Markets seem to benefit some much more than others. Not everyone wants to play this game.
