losteverything

but as a parent I see such obvious patterns

Birth order is real and parenting is not data science.

Remember the easy birth order question? How many pictures of you do your parents have (pr take)? If u r a FB many! Less and less as kids continue

Few things helped me more understanding people and family than knowledge of birth order.

First born, middle, baby, only... Quite helpful as how to understand and predict people's actions. And how to communicate with them.

Also, the cases where the first born or first son being expected to behave like a FB but are naturally not...often they dont realize this until adulthood.

The book by Leman (The Birth Order Book) i bought shortly after entering the workforce. A great read.

<Parents often fail to teach their kids how they got to this point.

What a great statement. So true! It may seem trivial but this is important..

I sprinkle all my online posts with random lies and inconsistencies... Gender. Location. Age.. Job.. Not many but enough to make me believe it would be harder to find out who i am

We used to think it was awful my kid stayed up late and watched Johnny Carson as a very young kid. Too much tv?? HORRORS! ( now her/his family doesn't even own a tv)

Go with the flow.. Man... Your kid will surprise you

Hide gender

My kid tells us we did her/him a big disservice by just who were were: an in love couple with a good marriage.

She/he tells us ahe/he was so unprepared for relationships and the knowledge that others' sid not come from our style home (happy marriage filled with love, imo)

Now how does one predict that??? Introduce my kids to broken marriages?

You will screw up your kids just like your parents screwed you up.... You just don't know how yet. But it isn't really screwed up... It is called parenting.

Then when u become a grandparent it begins to totally make sense....we all screw up our kids...teaching thwm how to recover is the real deal

But the ad is targeting. Ads always target.

So if this is indeed true then FB should simply splash enough protected classes to chalk off the requirement. That should not be hard.

We have this really great machine to reach people. FB is just one way to attract talent. Why ruin it

Remember, FB is voluntary

So i place a classified ad in Chinese Daily News but not one in the Daily News.

Am i discriminating against non chinese workers?

Im not a FB fan but this isn't discrimination if i, as the buyer of the ad, don't want my ad to go to any group. Do i want to place my ad for a day care help to any FB member that may have a criminal record or keeps track of megans law?

We just have too much information now.

Am i the only guy who thinks been there, done that. With networks' news & major papers.

Of course it will influence and change things. But we created it therefore it is ok. Just scary now

No. Imo.

But your question is not ethical but your own belief system... Not ours.

Here is an example. The founder of Mothers Against drunk driving took a job with a liquor industry (1). Now that is unethical imo

<too many column inches to fill

Perhaps the greatest unexpected result of the internet is how we dont need papers. Choice in what i read is mine.

This is a plug for a book..

Before beta/vhs the thought of owning a movie/tv show was ridiculous. Now the thought that i cant is ridiculous.

No wonder it is impossible to find dvd & vhs recorder combination units. Hard to find a dvd recorder too.

<I think that every adult US citizen should get an annual share of the US GDP.

I am going to ask people i work with at my union and non union jobs and get their response to that sentence.

I'll report back what comments i hear.

People within the "journalism" ecosystem can support itself with creative and different financial remedies. They strongly believe in their cause and benefit to humanity.

I would focus fundraising efforts to parties that economically rely on a free or paid press.

Video calls

<stations to air after-work news without commercials (making it a cost center)

Explain. Compare 1975 to 1985 please

Strahler and Strahler's college text charted how people like their own region and dont like others as much. Perceptions are strong

Having 50% midwestern life and 50% east coast, i size up the people first before i say im from (midwest state) or (eastern state).

Also, rent a car with same-state plates when you move into a new house from out of state. Most of your neighbors will make assumptions about you if the state plate is different. Once you get cars registered put on the new plates and return the rental.

Where are the new neighbors from?

"New York" "Montana" "Florida" "Massachusetts" "Iowa" "Utah" "California"

Pushy,outdoorsy,poor or old, liberal, farmers, Mormon, nutty

These comments are helpful because this is how people think.

When a suit or Talbots customer argues over a price at Wal-Mart you should hear the similar type of tone the cashier takes after they leave. Especially if they argue for a buck or two.

This is real world

As a kid i recall seeing dump trucks on the American side.

I have to see if i have any 35mm slides.

Now everyone has a camera to document every little change. How times change.

Quite true...

<Cars and driving represent a freedom

A car is an extension of an American's freedom. We won't give it up: it has to be taken.

One path i see it taken is selling public roadways to shore up state (et al) deficits. Big-driverless-company gets control of the roads and can begin to modify and place restrictions.

I, for one, believe my roadways are mine. Won by my father for winning Ww2 as Eisenhower created the interstate system, the "explosion" of freedom where the car is the center.

Just try to restrict my getting in my car and going where i please, when i please. If a driverless car gets in my way, watch out!

This.

If I don't believe this is tongue in cheek then i am very out of touch

Young people do not learn respect for their elders as a matter of course. Imagine a school where disruption is built in!

We used to whistle into the coupler...wish i took a picture that HS class... And also got to know the sounds.

I'm just genuinely curious what it feels like to be in their shoes.

The contemplation of this question satisfies ones need for introspection. Whether it's Bezos, or someone you are not there is great value in trying to answer this.

Struggle and pain and want is cleansing. Constant success can be a house of cards for children.

Wealth, enormous, is a burden. Just making it is freedom. Imo.

As he cant understand our life anymore we cant understand his.

Someone go put a $100 gift card on their windshield.

Seriously, why cant there be an easy app with shameless reputation to allow anonymous tiny donations? Maybe they can pick up $$ at a Walmart

And this..

The websites' archives have also been completely wiped, leaving no trace of past articles.

There should be clear outrage!

I'm the voyeur.. Wishing to see what kids post (of their kids). And coworkers. I have access to their cloud, dropbox, google, etc... But it's too hard and more importantly not their platform of choice to share.

So FBs other stuff like news is not why we have FB. It's like turning in the Today show and hearing Bryant Gumbel and Jane Pauley at 7am to see my family's news, only. A morning habit. But i dont have to hear the news. Five minutes and I'm done.
