Ah yes, Venezuela famously only has lawsuits that happened to them. Maybe look up Guaido, the 3% polling self and US declared president of Venezuela.

They didn't even consider what you want or anyone other than the way to make profit of the app. Sometimes those goals align, many times not. The reason they show you random accounts is because they want you to get hooked and watch the ads they sell.

It's probably hard to prove with something from 1981 but no license or copyright doesn't mean the source is open for taking. It basically means you just haven't set a license and could do that at any time, rugpulling the code from anyone who uses it. This is why projects like Fedora and Debian make sure everything they ship has a license.

Throw out a made up percentage and proceed to start talking about rational markets as if they exist in the real world. I immediately know this analysis is going to be great. Older houses are obviously cheaper for some reason even though housing prices in city centers keep increasing. Poor people are the real problem for needing a place to live. With the conclusion that there is nothing that can be done and people just have to take it. That's abundance (jazz hands)

Manufacturing consent has a different meaning. Politicians are always going to argue for their case but that is not the same as how the media and business monopolies in the US have fried the US public on everything. The EU is of course going to start cracking down on imports of goods that do not follow EU law and the platforms that sell these products.

I think this is an artful position to hold in response to an article about imports from China to the EU.

Isn't this covered by zoning? But it also just proves a point that you can't smart regulate the market to do everything. Sometimes communities just have to make decisions about what they want the land to be used for and create the according rules and do the investment themselves.

It's a very weird system to own anything underneath the land anyway. That's how you get the weird oil race areas where people will be drilling from the same source next to each other. The same goes for the water underneath the land.

In some countries the property rights only go like 10 meters deep and even then if there is a need for plumbing underneath there are exceptions. Maybe the issue then becomes that you're not free to do what you want on your own property but it's not like this is a thing in home owners association single family home areas anyway.

Because people on hn think consumers don't have better things to do than to look up vague tech stacks they don't understand for their iot devices. The trick is that consumers don't have time to make an informed assessment because a consumer only has 24h in a day while a business has all the time to mess with the information.

As long as people keep claiming this asymmetry doesn't exist we will keep getting things like Thread

Point 1 is a plain lie. Point 2 is a misunderstanding of how markets work.

As opposed to the US? Like sending infected elderly people to elderly homes to infect more people?

This is correct. In the US tiktok is currently being sued for feeding kids choking game content through the algorithm that was earlier judged to be free speech.

Google and all the other algorithm related content platforms have had this power before AI and have been using it as well. I think AI is a new layer to the SEO war.

I don't care for the grand conspiracy claims though. It's pretty obvious Google will optimize their search engine and the question answering to benefit their bottom line.

Maybe there are people actively working towards evil within Google. I think it's more likely some people recognize the implications of changes, some people don't but no one is working against those changes and ultimately the system will be capable to be used for very bad things and will do bad things naturally.

Anyway a better title would have been: Google's AI is the newest website killing feature

No visible result is the goal. The change is minimal but makes the system compatible with other EU carriages. Did the Baltics attempt this or succeed?

These are indeed both policies that involve thresholds and are therefore so similar that you can not argue for the one but not for the other.

There are European companies that are under the regulation as well.

The DSA is the part that applies to all companies in some way as well (things like the need for moderation and a way for people to reach you with complaints). The DMA is about the market and how to deal with monopolies.

*US city. I think people in my country would be able to name Craigslist (not in use) over fb marketplace.

That bubble is the EU, which this law is about. I know a bunch of European countries have their own Ebay/Craigslist websites. Marketplace has never been even somewhat popular in my country.

I'm not sure what society you are referring to but contracts have to adhere to laws in the EU.

This is also about software that is being updated. So the transaction is not completed yet. Apple could probably go the route of not providing the update to phones that were sold before the law was voted on/in place. I would guess that would lead to other legal battles.

This is not about cyber security, this is about getting union activity data to the oligarchs. Russian IP's are a useful, probably unintentional, nugget that distracts people from what happened here.

Labor actions is the most powerful tool that ordinary people have and this is an effort to take that away. Citizens are already being kidnapped. Dissenter legal immigrants are being dissappeared.

Anyone that believes the administration is doing any business other than seizing more power is a useful tool.

Move fast and break unions.

Which part does it exclude? Elderly who are unfit to drive, anyone below driving age or who can't afford a car or license? People with disabilities, like blind people, people with motor issues, people with disabilities that can't afford a modified car? All these people have to dodge cars to get to places.

Emergency response times go down in almost any case where car use is restricted. In the Netherlands emergency vehicles take bike lane shortcuts because people on bikes can move out of the way more easily. In New York, congestion pricing reduced the response times of emergency services.

Disability needs an annotations for only specific disabilities that don't inhibit driving. Which is a small subset of disabilities.

Delivery of most things can be done with small cars/trucks.

There is literally an example of a city with great public transport and 90% of people there use it exclusively. So most people will not make excuses but just use the thing that is easy.

Anywhere where a road is. Or anywhere you could park a car. This means the car does not give you the freedom but the entire car transportation network. If instead there was no car infrastructure but only public transport you would say you can't go everywhere at anytime with a car.

Since everything is terrorism now maybe you can stop doing terrorism with your comment and delete it.

This is certainly a possibility for city cars. In the Netherlands there are a lot more 45kph mini cars driving around now. They were a thing in the past with moped engines but with electric drive trains all these solutions become much more viable. With the low speeds crashes are also less dangerous so everything becomes lighter.

A similar thing is happening with electric bikes and scooters. This was all possible with gasoline but with the lower mechanical complexity this is really taking off.

This results in a wider range for bike like vehicles which replaces a lot of car trips.

The real hurdle to people getting rid of their mostly stationary cars (not everyday for work drivers) is that renting a car is a horrible experience and car shares are also bad mostly. But as the space for personal cars shrinks I suspect this will improve over time.

It's impossible, that's why you still see all those cigarette advertisements everywhere.

Wait, there are attacks on universities? Or are we just using that word for any expression of free speech?

This is such a great example of why a lot of main stream press sucks. Who cares about what military pilots think about this? This would only be interesting if they thought it was no biggie.

If a journalist wants to keep this rolling there are other angles to take. Make a listicale with all the different parts where the law was broken or operational security wasn't followed. Make an article about the people involved and why they were in this group chat. Write about what this means for other classified information.

They really want to make this into a story of military personnel vs Trumps team so they can avoid saying this is bad.
