  5. Re:Not buying it on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Rejects Trump Bias Claims (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    When you privatize the public square you also effectively privatize constitutional rights.

    It doesn't matter where you are on political spectrum, freedom or expression and exchange of ideas moving to a private digital space should be concerning to you. Not that they would, but Facebook could lawfully require everyone to swear allegiance to the Third Reich and ban everyone refusing, and there is nothing you could do in existing legal environment to stop them. It is way past due to codify digital public spaces in law and extend protections for free speech to cover these.

  17. Re:A wise move on London Has Decided To Ban Uber (recode.net) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I hate to defend Uber, but they told you $205 upfront, BEFORE you got into the cab. Then you could decide what to do with that information. Before Uber days, cabs would charge you outrageous prices AFTER you arrived.

  18. Uber is awful, but what came before is even worse on London Has Decided To Ban Uber (recode.net) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    While Uber is abusive and socially dubious corporation, what came before is even worse. I hope people remember how incestuous and overpriced traditional "regulated" plated cabs were. The only reason we have seen some degree of normalization there is because they are forced to compete with Uber.

    It probably IS hard to explain to relatives who have engineering degrees why you're called an "engineer" when you're not an engineer.
