Why am I not surprised that hn supports a forum for low level spooks to gossip about "cringe" people and harass them to the point of suicide?

Meanwhile, no one will ever see this comment because I'm shadowbanned.

And also because he's explicitly made similar statements about non-executive staff, including purely hypothetical staff, e.g. the staff at twitter.

That's neat how different people see things from different perspectives because that statement is meaningless sophistry in my world.

Any statistical taxonomist worth his salt knows that the number is much closer to 8,700.

It's dominated by mainstream, intelligentsia-approved narratives.

Yeah well so is the economy.

I'm tired of this world covered with fucking idiots, and each one thinks they have the special golden morals that can inform us properly on when to interfere with others. Stop trying to be in charge of shit, reddit.

Nah, the AI ones are better, but look at the variety in the human designs, how the components are direct in their abstraction instead of, well a blob where none of it has real meaning.

This is the most vapid and content-free article I have ever seen from the nyt. Some guy basically got to publish his intra-company propaganda in exchange for saying vaccines are good.

No, companies don't do this because it gives you good legal standing to sue the shit out of them ianal

There were longbeards early on who warned us that Reddit would centralize discourse, providing a target for pr spooks, and then destroy free expression on the internet, and they were right.

Oh look! Spooks -- stratfor spooks in this case -- think they're aristocrats who get to use censorship for self-preservation. What a shocking, brand new development.

CNN is just Fox News for extremists like you though.

No I'm pretty sure a priesthood intelligentsia caste using the media for PR was the framers' blind spot.

This is a nonstarter because the intelligence community likes it that we have no privacy or meaningful rights anymore.

When I realized this, I immediately stopped reading and made a mental note to avoid the site in the future.

Yet another example of our society having a massive, oppressive double-standard about which worldviews should benefit from freedom of express, and of course the beneficiaries ardently refuse to admit there's anything like that going on.

Oh now suddenly shills exist.

I'm glad I degoogled. This kind of thing is why. It wasn't even hard after I got email switched over. If they didn't have a video monopoly, I would never have to use their stuff.

It's a pretty site, don't get me wrong, but which law suggests presenting lists of obscurely named concepts as fullscreen shape art where I have to click one by one to read the list?

Let's all pray that it isn't true. Let's all hope really hard that it doesn't help and Trump is still wrong. That is the most important thing.

Thank you for your personal opinion that tacitly rationalizes surveilling employees without their knowledge.

Maybe you just can't read very well.

I didn't know they had a browser. I'll have to give it a try. Can't be any worse than Google's browser. Or their OS. Or their video monopoly. Or their search monopoly. Or their secret partnerships with governments. Or their ad monopoly. Or their email monopoly.

I'm tired of somehow having to accept that giant corporations and their lobbyists get to dictate what I'm allowed to read on the internet.

We've got PR spooks citing Hieronymus Bosch for why we all need to broadcast our identities on the internet, and that's the top comment.

I didn't say they were perfectly distinguishable. You have reasons simple ratios don't result in physical waveform attributes relevant to music. I posit you should just really think about that for like five seconds. Otherwise I don't know what to tell you. Look up Pythagoras or maybe what a wave is or something.

It does prevent confusion! It prevents confusion about who Microsoft thinks owns my computer once I install their OS.

This helps me out in arguments about whether a corporate priesthood is just throwing its weight around and hiding behind moralizations to do it. Thanks, Unilever!
