So the company that got shot up is to blame for not paying someone what she wanted to be paid.
No, the company that got shot up is to blame for stopping payment to someone for something they had previously been paid for. Essentially she was fired without cause and without notice. YouTube needs to realize we're not sheep, that if you poke a dog with a stick long enough eventually it will bite back and while the dog will be blamed for biting it had a good reason.
This isn't a contractual arrangement that can be won in court. This is about morality, and morally YouTube should not have suddenly turned off many users income. Like when a wife kills a cheating husband, it's not illegal to cheat but he isn't an innocent victim.
If you don't like it go to another platform or go direct (via your own website - and get your own advertisers).
I'm tired of hearing "if you don't like it, don't use Facebook/android/twitter/etc". Just because first amendment says you can't go to jail for speech does not mean private companies are allowed to censor indiscriminately. If I sent a racist text to my friend, should google be allowed to censor it or delete it? Should Verizon be allowed to read my text and kick me off Verizon? Should Facebook remove private messages that "incite violence"? Because Facebook already has https://tech.slashdot.org/stor...
You're using victim blaming wrong. Victim blaming is when the victim did nothing wrong but people still blame them. For example, saying wearing a skirt is the reason she was raped. YouTube took away this woman's income and her perceived free speech. YouTube is very much to blame for what happened. If a thief stole your wallet and you shot them, the thief is not the victim. Too bad she shot herself, her YouTube channel would have been very popular after the shooting and she would have got back her viewers and remoneitized her account.
Was the essential phone really first? Says it was available for preorder August 2017, just a month before iphone X came out, and even this article says they knew months in advance Apple was adding a notch so android was copying Apple before Apple was even released http://www.businessinsider.com...
This isn't the first time android copied apple's design based on rumors and rushed to market first. Rumors said the iPhone 6 would have a full sapphire display, so some android manufacturers rushed phones to market with sapphire displays https://bgr.com/2015/01/13/sma...
Anyone else find it funny when it said plain text can be easily hacked. Author apparently doesn't understand plain text doesn't need to be hacked, it's already plain text
That's what I was wondering. And it's one thing to filter fake news, it's quite another to stop people's messages to each other from being received. Even if they're fake and horrible, Facebook has no right to stop someone's messages from reaching intended receiptant unless said receiptant has complained or blocked sender. Yes yes I know, Facebook private company blah blah, but so is Verizon, Att and Sprint, and if they suddenly interrupted your phone call saying "you have violated our good behavior policy, this call has been terminated" I'm pretty sure govt would step in and say "lol no you don't private company"
They can hire me as a chef, but in between my cooking duties I'll rifle through everybody's office looking for dangerous things. No need to panic - I have only good intentions at heart. What, you didn't think a chef should also double as your security detail?
No one actually makes a hybrid truck yet because hybrid trucks have been notoriously slower than their V8 counterparts, tow far less and cost far more so it was a lose lose lose scenario. Ironically, none of the most efficient trucks on hybridcars.com are hybrid trucks http://www.hybridcars.com/amer...
Regular mid-sized sedans do not average 35-40mpg. Midsized hybrid sedans do not average 50-70mpg. Electric vehicles only account for 1% of sales and hybrids only account for 2% of sales so I don't know why you believe those numbers will grow from 3% to 40% in only 7 years http://www.hybridcars.com/dece...
When they say "cellphones cause cancer" what exactly are they talking about? Do Bluetooth headsets cause problems? What about wifi? Is 2.4ghz safer than 5ghz? Should we tell the kids they can't have their iPads? What about wireless controllers, should kids go back to wired controllers? I sleep 2 feet from my phone, is that far enough? This article is short on details but big on fearmongering.
Obama's law said average "new cars and trucks to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025." That's impossible to attain in 7 years, so Trump is doing the right thing again and Liberal media is attacking him for it.
I agree, I think Google and Facebook claiming to offer unrealistic work environments created snowflakes. As someone that worked at similar tech giants the reality was pretty far from the truth. Sure there might have been a latest gen game console in the breakroom next to the pool table and bean bag chairs, but it was for show, just for tours of new hires, no one really used it.
The main difference is that we today have a LOT more to spend our time and money on so we have to work more to get that shit paid.
False. While most things have rose at the rate of inflation, prices for entertainment have dropped substantially in the past 20 years. While a 55" tv would have cost $3,000+ just twenty years ago, they can now be bought for $300. Camcorders, cameras, tape/cd players have all been replaced by relatively inexpensive smartphones. Film and tapes for cameras and camcorders have been replaced by cheap memory cards and free unlimited online storage you can access anywhere from your phone. DVD and vcrs have been replaced by smart tvs with Netflix, Hulu and YouTube. 20 years ago you might spend thousands on a reasonable music and movie collection, that has been replaced by spending a few dollars a month on Netflix and Amazon streaming, Apple Music and Spotify.
Thanks to advances in vehicle reliability people are even keeping cars longer, an average of 11.5 years https://www.cnbc.com/2015/07/2...
So really this is the richest the average American has ever been.
I find ANDROID'S behavior to be weird and creepy, and that is why I have always avoided them. And the whole thing just seems completely useless and pointless.
Fixed that for you because really this is a Android problem, not Facebook, because Android is the one that allows developers to request all this and store it. Apple didn't have this problem. How many other apps are still stealing android user data?
ipads allow children to move at their own pace. Rather than every student slowly learning a lesson and then practicing what was taught and waiting for slower children to finish, a child can learn the lesson and practice and move on to the next lesson. They're doing this now with chromebooks but it's limited to only apps chrome runs while iPads run chrome and iOS apps.
Yeah because it's so difficult to get kids to want to use iPads you have to "hook" them. Oh please, they beg for them, one kid at school gets one and that's all you hear about until they get one. And while the schools are using chromebooks for educational software they hold about as much entertainment value as a caulkboard (which schools don't use anymore either).
My only complaint with the 12.9" is the 1.5 lbs weight is a little heavy to be holding with one hand and tapping the screen with the other. The 0.68 lbs iPad Mini is perfect but Apple never puts the latest components in the Mini line. I settled for the 0.97 lbs iPad Pro 9.7" but would still rather have it in the Mini form factor. At least civilization VI runs well.
How else would FB be able to keep your FB account "free"?
Simple: they don't need to make billions in profit. Let people opt out, I'm sure there's still a few people that want to see targeted ads, and advertisers will still pay for those few, just a lot less money.
Exactly right. Asking "where do I start to get into comic books" is like asking where to start to get into movies or books. You have to experience a few first, see what you like and don't like, and go from there.

The people that did this study are probably part of that 1% group trying to point fingers at other 1% members by blaming them for the drama?
I agree, MeWe seems to be the best option, since it has iOS and android apps and a rather large user base already
Exactly this. This is mostly Androids fault, not Facebooks

Chromebooks only run chrome so it's not practical. iPads and even android tablets do so much more than any chromebook.
