What did I just read? A parody?


Yes!


Well they aren’t called senior architects. More like distinguished engineers. And there are very few


What about crushing them and then kind of shredding it into a mulch to create the pockets?


> No one thinks in spoken language.

I generally do. I see the words as I think them. Spelling and sound. It’s weird I guess, though I never thought of it being weird until now.


> Dozens of franchisees lost their life savings. Others reportedly filed for bankruptcy. The company’s new CEO, Michel Buchbut, admitted mistakes but defended the company to Restaurant Business, saying, “I cannot call it a Ponzi … It was not exactly a Ponzi.”

Not exactly, huh? I’m going to be very interested to read the report when the FTC completes their investigation (assuming they follow Senator Feinstein’s request)


Neither of those links are working for me right now... first one is “not found” and second one is “doesn’t exist”


Yes, both GlobalTimes and WHO just pulled those links, instead of posting a correction, after the authorities decided to plug him to an ECMO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracorporeal_membrane_oxygen...) machine to defuse the massive uproar in China about his death, then had to declare him dead again.

Others like The Guardian updated their articles, keeping the URL, as the situation changed. After the announcement that he was being kept alive, they added a paragraph at the top of the article explaining that, and later when he was finally confirmed dead updated that note to simply say “Early reports of death of Li Wenliang were retracted, only for doctor to succumb to disease later in day”: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/06/whistleblower-...


I think it's the same on Facebook.


It’s an option, you can choose to log out all devices when you perform a reset.


Wow, so they must be really overcharging their customers if they have a small % of the market share but such a high run rate?


> Wow, so they must be really overcharging their customers if they have a small % of the market share but such a high run rate?

That...doesn't even make sense. He premise doesn't even have a rational connection to the conclusion.


Looking at the video, I'm honestly surprised there's only one death. The fuselage is completely sheared off. I really hope all those people recovery quickly and fully!


Not really, you just need to incentivise the behaviour. Pass a law to make it illegal to show ads based on tracking, with executive imprisonment for violations. Executives will then demand their teams to put controls in place to ensure that no one is using tracking to show ads. Violations of HIPAA have some serious fines, and I've watched executives at all levels take it VERY seriously


Rich executives and therefore the media tend to push back on such limits. And they tend to be more equal than the rest of us.


Wouldn't this executive and Media companies will run afoul of the GDPR act. At least in EU they can be fined and may be prosecuted if they are repeat offenders.

It will be nice if all the EU residents in one go send a request to remove their information from all the US based media and technology giants who under the guise of changing the world are indeed working to sale more to consumers and make themselves rich.


Awesome idea, HIPAA for protection against the advertising industry and their digital intrusion/violation/surveillance of our privacy.

Something like APPAA - Advertising Privacy Protection and Accountability Act

What would you guys call it? what language is necessary to cover all the edge cases for the deceptive and dirty-playing advertising industry?
