matz1··on Dear Zuckerberg, We're writing to urge you to cancel Instagram for children [pdf]
Exactly, social media has become important part of modern world, It has it good and bad. It important not to completely detach them from social media but rather teach them how to deal/manage social media, especially from early age.

When they grow up they will have to deal with this, teaching them the skill on how to navigate social media will be beneficial.

matz1··on Leaked phone number of Mark Zuckerberg reveals he is on Signal
>and thus affect their chance to get life insurance or affect the price of premiums

So the real issue is can't get insurance/too expensive insurance, not the privacy itself.

If this is fixed then I don't care if the information being public.

matz1··on Leaked phone number of Mark Zuckerberg reveals he is on Signal
But its not the privacy itself that people care about.

The reason is people care is because this information can be used to harm them.

The reason I care about my credit card number being public is because it can be used to stole my money but If my credit card number can be public while still keeping my money belong to me then I would much prefer that.

The better way would be to make everything as public as much as possible then fixes the issue that arise due to that information being public.

matz1··on Tesla owners asking what happens if 'full self driving' isn't real
>All you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go.

Its a promise about the future. Read the last paragraph:

>The future use of these features without supervision is dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving capabilities are introduced, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates."

Beside, from the video, I don't see the need to be "hyper-vigilant", yes you do need to pay attention, which is recommend by tesla, but far from being hyper-vigilant.

matz1··on Tesla owners asking what happens if 'full self driving' isn't real
No where in the paragraph it says stress free.

>What is in the videos on youtube is the driver needing to be hypervigilant to prevent it hitting curbs, waiting behind parked cars and driving off the road down light rail tracks

So? Its a mistake, tesla didn't promise it can cover all situation nor won't make a mistake.

matz1··on Tesla owners asking what happens if 'full self driving' isn't real
Which part specifically? I don't see anything contradictory from the paragraph.

>Which definitely isn't delivered today: https://youtu.be/8IUn2mDE-xo

From the video it does show that it has the full self driving capability, sure its not perfect and may make mistake but it may improve in the future.

You can read it here https://www.tesla.com/support/autopilot
matz1··on Tesla owners asking what happens if 'full self driving' isn't real
It is already capable of driving by itself, albeit its not perfect and not in all situation. Tesla never promised its perfect.
matz1··on The Antiscience Movement Is Escalating, Going Global and Killing Thousands
How is china shows lockdown can work ?

They may simply reacting and just try to do 'something'.

By that logic sweeden, florida, south dakota, shows lockdown doesn't make significant difference.

matz1··on Silicon Valley firms in no hurry to open up offices despite easing of virus ban
>Because lifting restrictions is directly related to increases in cases, which is then directly correlated to the number of deaths? Willfully ignorant.

Correlation != Causation. Willfully ignorant.

>We might agree that there may be more effective ways to keep people separated than a full blown lockdown, balancing health concerns with people's needs, but at the time, it was the best tool in the toolbox- and outside the US worked well- New Zealand, for example, which is pretty much back to normal these days after a duration much closer to the first time period.

South dakota, sweeden don't have lockdown and they pretty much normal all these times. Florida has short lockdown, but they realized their mistake and quickly lifted it. They are normal too.

>you are certainly implying that your own inconvenience is far more damaging than the lives of others. '

No, lockdown affect a lot of people, not just me and its just not merely inconvenience.

> just want to let the people die and let the chips fall where they may

No, I never said that. I support reducing/preventing death as much as we possibly can, but trying to do so with causing so much damage that is bigger than the virus itself, I can't support.

matz1··on Silicon Valley firms in no hurry to open up offices despite easing of virus ban
you mentioned that your coworkers still caught covid despite wore mask at all times.

so mask only work with influenza ?

>He was 100% fine before covid, then all of a sudden has chronic leg pains directly after which seem very consistent with blood clotting and nerve issues that covid causes?

Could still be coincide with something else. Even if it covid that caused that, still need to how how prevalent this is. I know friends that got covid but recover fully.

>The excess deaths from all causes was up sharply in 2020, and correlates exactly with the start of the pandemic in 2020. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-mortality-p-scores (remove the default countries, and just add the US- you will see an exact overlay with covid cases and deaths). How do you justify your claim?

The lockdown also corelates with the start of the pandemic, how do u know its not caused by the lockdown ?

In the place that don't implement lockdown, the death chart look similar, how do u know if lockdown work ?

And by the way, death is not the only metric to go by.

Lets say you can reduce death number but in order to do that you increase misery, that would be suck, I certainly don't want that.

>You are being willfully ignorant, though I am glad you clearly haven't had this affect you in any way. I have two close friends that have lost parents to Covid.

I'm not blindly against lockdown, I'm againts lockdown because it doesn't make sense. It caused problem greater than the virus itself.

The lockdown has certainly affect me. I too have friends that suffer from the lockdown.

matz1··on Where are all the containers? The global shortage explained
I've always againts lockdown, because it is bad..

It doesn't make sense to have solution that worse than the problem.

matz1··on Funds for Open Source
Sure, its not everyone. On the other hand it also suck to be forced to pay.
matz1··on Silicon Valley firms in no hurry to open up offices despite easing of virus ban
That show mask is not effective.

And his case, although is very possible, also need further investigation, is it really because the covid?

The number of death is highly inflated, that number include every case remotely related to covid. Also the US population has increased considerably compared back to word war.

Also lockdown can cause death too.

matz1··on Where are all the containers? The global shortage explained
Its in the article itself.

"As the pandemic spread out from its Asian epicentre, countries implemented lockdowns, halting economic movements and production. Many factories closed temporarily, causing large numbers of containers to be stopped at ports"

matz1··on Where are all the containers? The global shortage explained
For vast majority of people, covid is non issue. Most people will either have no symptoms or only have mild symptoms. So no, not everyone will get sick from covid.

Of course, like any other disease there will be some death, particularly for old people and people with underlying condition but nothing that could cause problem as greater than mass lockdown.

My statement is essentially, some disease is preferable than mass lockdown.

Wanting to eradicate disease is good and I support it but not with something that caused massive problem that is worse than the disease.

matz1··on Where are all the containers? The global shortage explained
No, lockdown create damage way more than the virus itself.
matz1··on Where are all the containers? The global shortage explained
This global shortage is caused by lockdown. Its clear that lockdown created massive problem. Way more than the virus itself. We need to make sure that lockdowns don't happen again in the future.
matz1··on Silicon Valley firms in no hurry to open up offices despite easing of virus ban
The risk of spreading itself its not small. The risk of one actually die from covid is really small.

I would be fine in the office in closed space with other people if it make sense for my work, regardless of covid.

matz1··on Silicon Valley firms in no hurry to open up offices despite easing of virus ban
if it because of covid then it doesn't make sense because the risk are so small.
matz1··on Silicon Valley firms in no hurry to open up offices despite easing of virus ban
Guess what, human as like any other organism can adapt to their changing environment. Basic evolution biology.
matz1··on Silicon Valley firms in no hurry to open up offices despite easing of virus ban
Its nothing to do with the risk from covid because its minuscule, its more of does it actually make sense to work in the office? For many tech worker, there is little benefit of actual office space.
matz1··on “Is Parallel Programming Hard, and, If So, What Can You Do About It?” v2 Is Out
Categorizing something as evil or not evil is an opinion.

Thats the point, not everyone will agree that facebook is evil, or even have the same interpretation of evil.

matz1··on “Is Parallel Programming Hard, and, If So, What Can You Do About It?” v2 Is Out
What would be reason to assume people have a the same ethics and moral code ?
