Without 230, Businesses would use decentralised tech to process comments if they feel comments are integral part of their business model.
There are plenty aircraft models like B-2 Spirit, F-22 Raptor etc. that cost above $200 million.
People are stuck in bubbles created by companies. If recommendation algorithms were developed to recommend videos that tell contrary perspective or didn't recommend similar videos and fill My Feeds with similar videos, no individual would have being in the bubble in first place in best scenario or at worst in some private forum like he/she used to in early days of internet. Instead people have started allowing companies to create bubbles and censor them too and now they are rationalising the power they gave to corporates.

As cars become more like IoT devices on wheels, these nascent technologies would lead to more security issues than a simple key lock mechanism. Just imagine getting locked into a car with glass you can't break (like in cybertruck) and getting asked to pay a ransom to get it unlocked.
It has also caused massacres in these countries like in case of Myanmar.

Facebook is an effective media outlet in cases where country are too poor to bribe Facebook and too small for Facebook to ignore market altogether.

I don't want to sound rude but mob doesn't differentiate between refugees and legal immigrants.

I, by no means support such sleazy company.

Even Gambling has become legalised in courts by these StartUps and VCs.
Apparently, Disney created a joint venture with Bjyu's for pre school kids.
Owned by Disney.
I know a 12yo Indian kid who is maintaining Ubuntu Unity. Though, I am pretty sure he didn't study at WhiteHatJr.
It's better to just regulate online advertising practices like traditional advertising. Facebook at best is a digital town square, not a utility.
Line is how much you focus on ad optimization.

Does Mozilla compete with for profit companies for C suite market? Which technology intensive company hire a CEO who is lawyer by profession and hasn't had any redeeming resume for management and technology. If you look at firefox's market share, the only growth it had was when she was not a CEO. Seriously, Mozilla is not competing with for profit companies in C suite labor market.

They could have been like WeChat, if it was not acquired by Facebook. Facebook avoids apps competing with each other. Not every CEO has guts to create a product that destroys their major profit source like Ma (Ten Cent).

India was launching Privacy Act but the Bill was changed beyond recognition through lobbying by Foreign MegaCorps particularly Facebook, Google and Amazon.

There is currently a new law regarding this. RBI has mandated that Wallets without balance for 12 Months would be deactivated.
So, that's creating new systemic biases. Here, you are talking about creating a fresh start. The only thing reservations do is actually create divide. During Independence, it was compulsory move where caste discrimination was serious. But today, due to industrialisation it holds no meaning. Now, there is only worker class and ruling class. New Generations(majority) are not taught about castes and discrimination around it, the only time they came in contact with such nonsense is during college entrances. I would also point the superior mentality taught in top colleges is also a reason. The way they are indoctrinated in these colleges creates a superior mentality in students and if your classmate scored less than you and got into college, you would also extend that superior mentality to him/her as well.
For Reservations
I could guarantee you, People with supposedly lower castes would be against this. It would be giving up benefits such as easier access to best education and jobs.
What if increasing marketplace efficiency is just a by product instead of cause of great change? I mean main objective of business is wealth maximisation of shareholders and management (in modern times). It has nothing to do with efficient allocation of resources. The country that alleviated most people from poverty is a communist country. Communism uplifted a poor nation Russia to become one of the Superpower in 20th century.

A more fitting analogy would be Windows. For Performance Updates, they don't charge money. Nor did they asked for updates for previous versions too. Adobe Is Subscription based while in Case of Tesla you pay for a lifetime ownership of a product rather than buying a service.
Re:Jailbreaking Used Teslas on Saturday October 31, 2020 @01:51PM (#24953611)
It is. When you purchase a car, you don't care about salvage and resale value? Tesla's move is akin to killing your money from resale. You are buying a 50k car, not your 1k smartphone.
Re:Jailbreaking Used Teslas on Saturday October 31, 2020 @01:47PM (#24953564)
Adobe Suite is a subscription based software solution. It is an inappropriate analogy. Does Microsoft asks for money for performance updates in Windows?

As a trillion dollar company, it can acquire open source project that is vital for it's customer base rather than leeching of that project. You shouldn't make unethical practices of companies as necessary evil.

Google has Google One but currently it's only Cloud Storage and some PlayStore benefits. In few years, you could expect few more google services in it.

Free speech is not about releasing every movie or TV show produced by entitled people. It's about free speech of common people. A person getting fired for a thing he/she commented a decade ago is not free speech. USA has lot to do with free speech which really matters.

USA was top country regarding free speech in maybe 1980s but now, it needs to change it's policies to be one.

Considering women in 60s sue men for sexual experience in their teens suggest some women are not suited for it in teens or even 20s for this matter.
Chinese Whistle Blower was awarded Nobel Peace Prize.
US is not equal to western. Also, Rest of the World don't do dirty things and hide behind a saint front. All Bad shit China is doing is out in open and is having tribunals in International Courts. Even Nobel Peace Prize is given to a Chinese Whistle Blower, I haven't heard China awarding any Western Whistle Blower.
