Except I do. You're on work time. I get to tell you the dress code, and how you present yourself. Otherwise get your ass into the office

Why not? I really dislike people who don't turn on their video, which it was enforced. If you get the luxury of sitting at home, should at least be polite and show your face

Gonna play some devil's advocate

Freedom of speech is a concept, and a legal definition in the US. It's true that Twitter has no _legal_ obligation to uphold free speech since it's not a government entity.

But if you support the _concept_ of free speech, Twitter is stiffing conversation by playing a moral judge on what is considered truth and what's considered lies.

The Constitution was written 200 years ago without any of the today's technology. Back then, all "speech" happens either live in person, or by individual printing presses. Government back then was the biggest threat to the concept of free speech, so it's indoctrinated in the constitution as a legal concept.

Today, public discussion space has moved onto social media platforms. Government is no longer the biggest threat to speech (because of the Constitution), but private companies like Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc who can just ban anyone at will and cause them to lose the ability to reach their followers. If you want to protect free speech as a concept, then we need to update our legal concept to include any platform or service that's identified as critical to public discussion.

Similar to how electricity companies are regulated as utilities companies because they're so crucial to people's daily lives, social media platforms should be regulated as speech platforms because they're so crucial to today's conversations happening in society.

This is the hard truth. You won't like it because you hate the man. But it's the truth / end devil's advocate

I solve this problem by disabling JS by default on my browser. Only enable it if absolutely necessary

Can you embed video in email and have it play by default?

Can you drag and drop videos onto your desktop to save?

Can you upload videos anywhere that accepts an image?

Can you loop and make sure it always plays on a webpage?

If no, I'm not using video. No one gives a crap about your technical specs. Videos suck as a user interface.

If you want to be a good socialite and marketing professional, you need to know what's trendy and who's influencing the general population. Same idea

Yes absolutely. Discussing what's your favorite tech stack to me sounds like discussing what's your favorite shoes

No one cares besides you. And in the end it probably doesn't matter which one you pick from a purely logical point of view :)

Why is it garbage? It's just entertainment. Same way reading random crap on HN is entertainment :)

Are soft deletes even legal in the context of privacy laws like GDPR? If I’m writing in to delete my data, I don’t really give a crap how hard it is. I want that permanently wiped, so that even if you wanted to you can’t find it again.

How that messes up your technical implementation is your problem

Why is this misleading claim repeated so often? They are profitable on every. single ride. Even including all the marketing costs, they're profitable on the rideshare.

It's the investment into new ventures like Uber Eats that cuts into the revenue because it' expanding so fast.
