In 1999 we'd be having this conversation in French? Really?

Honestly if you think social networks are just for people who speak english you gotta take a look at the world a bit more.

Please read the article.

What am I really losing though by allowing access? The company is passing on info to advertising networks so they can try and get me hooked on more mobile games.

No one cares who you are, they are just trying to sell ad space.

How are we even close to a monopoly? I could maybe see a oligopoly, but even though amazon is big, its not the whole market.

In what way is anything he does reckless? His tweeting? Do you think that is going to "mess up all of those great things"?

When I was a new grad I was hired at a company that did QA consulting. I was put on a team with 5 other people to create a integration test framework for a insurance company, who was rolling out a brand new software stack. It's probably one of the few times in my career that I had:

A) The whole team was responsible for the project, if the framework broke we took the blame as a team rather than crapping on individuals

B) PRs got seriously reviewed, there were strict rules about what was a quality PR and our team lead ensured that they were enforced. At the start of the project I lost several days of work because my PRs weren't of sufficient quality.

C) We got a start a project with no legacy code, building everything from the ground up. We had architecture meetings, everyone's input was vetted and valued.

Since then I haven't worked on a team where I felt that things were as cohesive. People make shitty design decisions and are not receptive to criticism. Lots of rubber stamping "approve" on PRs without actually reviewing the code, or accepting PRs without unit tests. Inheriting legacy code which was written poorly, but still has to be maintained. Nothing quite has the same feeling as that first project.

Then why not go after Google?

So you'd rather 1000 other people die, rather than yourself? What kind of logical exercise is this?

Can you really make that statement? Have you seen the video? There was a human inside the car, they could have hit the brake, but they didn't.

Seem like your making a pretty big assumption that "Human driver would try at least an emergency braking. Even if it’s too late."

Yeah lets get rid of laws and regulations, that will fix health care prices!!! /s

What is vegan and what is not vegan is going to differ depending on what each vegan believes. Diet is like being religion, you going to have different people drawing the line at different points.

> If the rules Ajit Pai wants in place were to be in place when Amazon got started its likely Wal-Mart could have paid to simply make them disappear for most internet providers by "buying" the right to e-commerce traffic.

Isn't this covered by anti-trust laws?

Society didn't really do it. When you mess with people with power often enough, eventually they will find a way to take you down.

Please do. Where is that not the case.
