A symptom of the larger problem to want to divest and outsource everything not considered a "core competence". Hence the outsourcing of everything from housekeeping to IT

ToS missteps notwithstanding, it's a bit more than your data surfaced back to you. You share your data and in return you get to share in other people's data. Fairly common community data.

Whether it's what HubSpot customers want, opt in/opt out are valid criticisms.

In fairness, all of these firings are at public universities. The 1A applies at a much higher bar than a corporation.

The shoe was on the other foot when conservative professors were being fired or disciplined for expressing - say "anti trans" viewpoints publicly. The outcomes were largely the same.

The biggest issue is that enforcement and litigation is limited to the VA AG. You and I as wronged citizens can't go sue.

That's corny capitalism. A sibling post that talked about 1750 ft or whatever is just noise.

It's a mixed bag at best. The product has had numerous features pushed, but in the US, the navigation feature is objectively worse than 5+ years ago. Too much spoonfeeding of directions to ensure the app is kept on. But the app won't actually tell you the freeway number and direction - which the driver can see on the dozen signs on the road.

Or, the incessant "police activity" shit from Waze. That creates all kinds of rear ending hazards as morons try to slow down.

Fox to buy Roku 1 month ago

No different than a tech platform expanding into content. Like YouTube, Amazon and Apple. I understand your complaint, but those two worlds are intertwined beyond redemption now.

Very much dependent on age, rest and general conditioning. I went from sea level to 14K at Pikes peak in 1 day and it was quite uncomfortable. I managed, but folks who lived in Denver with lower physical fitness levels than me, did better.

The revenue is in the ads. If they hit a decent run rate prior to the IPO then there's a viable path to profitablity and justification for the insane capex.

There are rules. Networks have entire departments called Standards and Practices. But only because broadcasters don't pay for spectrum. Cable has laxer rules and almost none on anything streaming.

Across all of these, if any government or pseudo government body attempts to restrict advertising because of the content, they will get sued. Any advertiser making materially false claims will likewise also get sued.

Start by calling (or visiting the area office of) your senator and congressman. If you are reasonably articulate, they engage and listen. Doesn't matter if the listener is not a techie; they will ask questions around policy and why it affects constituents.

This is 1000x more useful than online petitions or other passive stuff. Politicians know that one person to have taken the effort to do this, means 1000 others are feeling the same thing but are quiet.

There is no technical or economic reason to want coal power today.

A quick look at the PJM interconnect data would disagree with you. About a quarter of the live power is coal.

That serves 65+ Million people in the north east and is keeping them from dying of cold this past week, including today (Temp outside in the mid-hudson valley is 15F / -9C), and overnight will be 8F / -13C).

Just for context - electricity somehow powers everything in most homes. Your oil or propane furnace needs a power hookup to ignite.

A combo of your IP, browser fingerprint plus the fact that you logged in somewhere and that links to your actual name etc. Identify you in isolation is not very useful. It's connecting that identity to another place that's valuable.

Of course they can. Good luck trying to serve and execute that warrant though.

And non ICC countries are squarely within their rights to retailiate. Most minor former colonies of the EU countries can't, but the US, China, Russia can.

TLDR: he's a member of the ICC. Issues warrants against Israeli political leaders. Neither Israel nor the USA (nor China, Russia, India) are parties to the international conventions that formed the ICC.

He's being sanctioned as a result by the USA, which flowed down to US companies who must follow US law.
