Now all these f*ing zoomers are telling me that I'm out of touch!?

  • On this particular topic, I think "both sides" is true. Both sides want to proceed down this "ban websites by name" road.

  • According to g.2.A.ii (in the definition of “covered company”), the law only applies to social media with more than 1,000,000 monthly active users. Not sure why that’s included.

    I'm glad clauses like this are common. We don't want some teenager who wants to experiment with creating a "social media" website for his friends to have the full weight of the law immediately fall on their shoulders. People should be free to create website with minimal legal requirements, especially if it's a small website.

    • Someone needs to be reminded that anticompetitive practices are illegal

  • Those work situations are the worst. It reminds me of the saying "you can be right, or you can get what you want, but not both".

    You can correctly assert your contractor status and correctly point out that you're not legally allowed to do a thing. You're in the right, no doubt, but that doesn't stop an unhappy executive from "letting you go" anyway.

  • I just wanted to give a little recap of the Julian Assange controversy. The US is trying to prosecute him for breaking US law while outside the US and he is not a US citizen. In case people don't know the story, that's the most important part.

  • Julian Assange is not a US citizen and the crimes he is accused of did not happen on US soil. The US should not be the world police. Why are we trying to prosecute him?

  • It’s putting human biases on full display at a grand scale.

    The skin color of people in images doesn't matter that much.

    The problem is these AI systems have more subtle biases, ones that aren't easily revealed with simple prompts and amusing images, and these AIs are being put to work making decisions who knows where.

    • ‘I’m proud of being a job hopper’: Seattle engineer’s post about company loyalty goes viral

  • Many of the most wealthy and powerful companies in our world have never made a profit. Many times, companies succeed by currying the favor of the rich and powerful more so than anything else.
