So, the only *free* thing to do is let information flow, allow people to decide for themselves, and allow things to happen as they happen. The only "destruction" of democracy that I see is that > are losing their ability to shape public opinion because human beings are able to share information more quickly and easily with each other.
That only thing they are doing is informing people if it's a mass communication, they aren't blocking information. Also, you greatly underestimate the ability to manipulate people. Have you forgotten Cambridge Analytica so quickly?
Those poor animals. I say, rather than torture the animals, let us get rid of these government regulations and let the people who want these stupid products test them out.
The problem here instead of well cared for (poor) animals, you would be testing on literally poor humans. Exploiting the poor isn't what I call an improvement.
This is just a step in the direction of making us think that it is the big mega-corporation's job to censor what what we read.
Actually, It's one mega-corp trying to stop efforts from people who are deliberately misinforming you on their platform. They have no control of information you get elsewhere.
Let them thrive in China where censorship will help them make money. But get them the heck out of my free United States democracy. They are dangerous.
What's more dangerous is people that get their information from the internet without checking the credibility of the source. Facebook is full of these kind of people and they are doing real damage to our democracies.
Stop using anything from Facebook
I agree, social media has done far more harm to the world than good.
How exactly would they be able to tell it was coded in C++?
a) strings (especially compiler string) b) vtables (they can be generated slightly differently between compilers/languages) c) linked to C++ libraries d) every compiler generates code in a slightly different way, so they could probably tell you the exact version of the compiler and the arguments used if they had to (and the compiler string was removed).
It's really not very complicated to figure out which language a program is written in.
sometimes it seems the mission is just to change things constantly in a way that irritates as many users as possible.
Have you considered that perhaps irritating as many users as possible is the mission? What better way to destroy something than to change it into something awful? #NoYouAreAConspiracyNut;)
Is advertising magical? Does advertising somehow exert mind-control on voters?
Facebook said the same thing at first, then they looked at how it changed how people posted. Psychological profiles were built on people and then applied the correct pressure.
American voters can't be fooled into voting badly.
They absolutely can and are regularly. The entire republican platform is built on that concept.
When this actually gets used for ditching facial recog, additional features will be added to the recog algo to determine facial structure from the shine of the paint. Now, if you really want to screw with all facial recog (natural and artificial) then you should paint your face with super black which will turn your face into a silhouette.
Just add a time tax in which you must pay (1/X)% to sell the stock where X is the number of seconds since last buying the stock. This penalizes short-term purchases while long-term investments go unaffected. The stock market has shifted far from it's original purpose and should be fixed.
Whether they pull the plug immediately is hardly the issue. The fact is that they can do so legally and they may choose to while leaving you without recourse. Just because they were nice to you doesn't mean they aren't dicking over other people. This is how the business world works.
This is not a problem with Google Cloud, this is a problem with all "cloud" platforms. It's really simple, they can be held liable so they put acquit ass-covering in the contract so that they can shut you down on a whim. If this doesn't work for you then you should not any "cloud" platform.
This is just an example of reality catching up to all the idiots who said "put it in the cloud!" while ignoring all the risks. Play with fire and you'll eventually get burned.
It doesn't seem like this factory is anywhere near the point of cranking out batteries but it will still be good to have another battery factory. It may not be for batteries most people use but changing the type of batteries you make faster than going from not making batteries. The world is in dire need of more lithium batteries and at a lower cost, so a new battery plant is always welcome.
My hope is that one of these giant battery factories gets all the kinks worked out of it's automation and that they build ten and then a hundred more battery factories because we desperately need cheaper batteries if we are going to switch to electric cars.

Latinx is a real word.
No, not really. Anything you use is technically a "real word" but this one has yet to be added to any serious dictionary.
Not many x86 CPU designs are as safe as expected anymore.
FTFY. Almost no other CPU designs have these problems.

This is replacing the suffering of millions of animals today. Truly useful.
There is one thing you a forgetting... this is also putting millions of animals out of a job! ;)

Honestly, what makes anyone think that trusting a huge faceless corporation is good idea to start with?
if people contributing to the market are allowed to lie, cheat, steal or otherwise manipulate the rules of the game what you have is not capitalism.
Actually, that sounds exactly like capitalism.
I think this nicely illustrates what "survival of the fittest" really means. ;)
I don't think the advertising world could get any worse than it already is, so if Amazon starts driving them out of business then I'm all for it.

The obvious solution is to switch to Libre Offices. ;)
Honestly, this is the least important thing Slashdot could have posted about. Besides, use an native client and you can theme it however you like.
In 2022 we will be hunted to extinction by packs of weaponized roombas.
Actually, only messy people will be wiped out in the Roomba AI genocide. The Roombas are sick of cleaning up after you slobs! ;)
your either ignorant of the type of "advertising" they were doing or you are being disingenuous about it. either way, stfu and fuck off. ;)

It got attention because of Russia meddling in US politics. Don't be obtuse.

yeah, that the whole "much like handwritten assembly" part, duh. -_-
