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.

Setting up for the eventual bailout. Remember - "we can't let banks fail or it'll be a depression"?

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.

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.

All the more reason to let states and local governments do more. Rather than a unitary congress or executive that only 1/2 the people (+/-) like.

Yes. Plenty is correct. Fidelity let's you buy SpaceX at IPO with only $2K in the bank.

And there are other reasons to be cautious. Many passive funds don't license the SP500 and instead mirror it with their own synthetic index. They are not bound to respect this decision.

Social security and Medicare are also payroll "taxes" in that they're not optional and are automatically deducted.

Au contraire, enacting such a law is akin to forcing FB to support certain speech. That itself is unconstitutional and any such legislation would be struck down.

NYC unions are not your average worker. In my north of NYC town the labor rate for a union worker is 3x that of non union..and state laws mandate govt projects must pay that rate.

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.

$100B isn't a startup. And if there's a $100B deal, you better believe the cash is there. Case in point - Netflix/Paramount wanting to buy WB. Or the $44B that Musk had to raise to buy out Twitter shareholders.

Take it to it's logical conclusion. Free universal choice of schools rather than being tethered to your home address.

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.

More WeWork than Theranos. Theranos was a fraud.

WeWork was a legit real estate business with a SaaS multiple on valuations.

The headline is absolutely declarative. CBP can't comply. Period.

That's not what CBP said, and the article itself has the nuance that the headline doesn't

True. But just changing the prompt to include "cite me cases" expands the search to court systems and actual cases. It's pretty useful as a first pass to get a sense for the issues, precedents and laws at stake.

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.

The down votes really reflect the groupthink here. American implementation of 1A is not perfect - tyrants still get around to suppressing speech they dislike.

But it's so much better than these alternatives.
