Me too. According to the wiki page:

> Operating principles: In an earlier SEC filing, LTSE said that its corporate governance rules might include: increased voting rights for shareholders who hold company stock for long periods of time, restrictions on offering short-term incentives to executives, disclosure of impact of any stock buybacks, and requiring companies to have a board-level long-term product and strategy committee.

or the same person who tries it again.

It's a good point. Does it go both ways?

What if Sarah spoke at a women's only conference. At this conference, it's not just a "bias" towards women speakers, it's a downright rule.

How do we regard Sarah's experience here?

> "Multiple meta-analyses show that, with the exception of prostate cancer, cheese does not increase cancer risk"

Well, that's a fairly dangerous exception, no?

> Cambridge Analytica was able to gain access to large amounts of data that people had created while using Facebook as it is intended to be used.

That's debatable. CA either bent the rules or broke the rules to get a lot of that info. In many cases, CA was able to get not just the target's info, but all of their friends info too. Facebook was either incompetent or complicit in allowing this to happen.

> Even if no one was being tracked, the exploitation could have occurred.

What do you mean? How could CA work without any data?

> People have been raising flags about this for literally decades now and the other shoe has yet to drop in any kind of meaningful way.

Cambridge Analytica?

> Right, so, has Google done this?

Business is booming for Google right now. Imagine Google still have all of that data but are slowly going bankrupt and desperate for new business ideas.... and then Google is approached by a company with ethics and practices like Cambridge Analytica?

It's the old adage of:

"accusation on the front page, acquittal on page 13"

> Most people in society like meat so it makes sense we subsidize it. This is progressive.

So, we should subsidize things that people like? Should we subsidize sugar?

Most Americans are eating far more meat than doctors recommend.

> Animal husbandry is a great way of converting inputs unfit for human consumption (animal feed) into something that is (meat) but it’s never very efficient.

Ideally, yes. In practice, we feed animals mostly things that we ourselves could eat ourselves - like corn, soy, and grains. Sure, you can find cute examples of cattle eating grass on rocky soil... but around 99% of animals are not grown that way... they are grown in factory farms where they're fed soy, corn, and grains.

You're not alone there. I wonder if starlink will increase property values in rural areas.

If you have the latest chrome/firefox, doesn't that default to https all the time? Thus making "HTTPS Everywhere" redundant?

Canada is too

> The nuclear family is an American white cultural norm.

See this UN paper [1] regarding stats on the nuclear family. The nuclear family is a phenomenon that exists on all continents. It's not the only way, but it's certainly not a "white" thing. The nuclear family is actually most prominent in Northern Africa. See figure 10 on page 19.

And that can be demoralizing in itself. Early in my career, after make a stupid 'single character mistake' that broke my entire program, I started to think "maybe I'm not cut out for this".

> Is it to avoid your ISP collecting browsing data off you and selling it? Perhaps using 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 as your DNS might be good enough.

Wouldn't your ISP still see what IP's you are visiting? Then, your ISP could just reverse DNS that IP to get the domain name, right?

For some producers that's easier said than done. You can't just shut the operation down and then start it up again.

Yup, same here in Canada - can't get yeast anywhere. Even flour is tough to come by despite the fact that Canada has tons of wheat - the flour mills are working overtime.

There is also a study that shows many studies findings cannot be reproduced: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis

From where I stand, the countries that have a culture of wearing masks are doing better with regards to coronavirus. At the very least, it seems like a good hypothesis.

One counterintuitive piece of advice I can offer is to take a cold shower right before bed. Some might think a cold shower would shock the system so much that your body would be on high alert... but that's very temporary... and when you slip into your warm bed sheets afterwards, you feel like your in a safe place.

Your milage may vary. I've seen conflicting science on this. Here is the positive case: https://www.sleepadvisor.org/showering-before-bed/

There was a vacuum repair tech AMA on reddit many years back. That post was insanely popular. People are hungry for this type of information (if it's actually honest).

He too was a big fan of Miele (for vacuums).

There have been a few big Canadian success stories - Shopify being the latest.

> airports especially

Indeed, lets not forget what the Snowden leaks said about airports:

Interesting... actually, that is actually fairly compelling evidence that it can be done. Thanks!

I too am pro-nuclear, but isn't it too late for traditional nuclear to save us? We need solutions very quickly and the typical nuclear power plant takes 10 years to build.

In my uneducated opinion, the only way I see nuclear working is if there are small modular reactors that are produced quickly in a factory assembly line.

I sort of agree... but I do think its worthwhile thinking about best practices around ethics and writing them down somewhere for all to see.

The GDPR does a decent job in this regard around privacy and data use. Can we write a similar document to GDPR around other ethical concerns?

> I don't think many people outside the valley believed that about FB ever

The main stream media had some very glowing reviews of facebook during the 'arab spring'. Glowing articles were written about how these wonderful social media platforms help organize people to start revolutions like the arab spring.

It would be good to get some concrete bullet points of what's ethical and what isn't. Is it ethical to work for Netflix knowing that some people might be wasting their life on your platform?

While I don't like google, what if I worked at Google but on a team that was doing good (like Angular or 'Project Zero')

Yup, I switched after the company was sold recently. I got that error as well. I moved to 1password
