people give facebook and twitter an unending amount of well deserved poo poo but youtube is at another level it’s a nexus of narcissistic fame culture, algorithmically generated gibberish videos for babies and the world’s one stop shop to turn all adolescent boys into nazi stormtroopers

pushpins posted:Youtbe is in a bad place between wikipedia and twitter where its got great informative videos about machinery from the 1900's and also 500,000 videos about anita sarkeesian yeah twitter is good for following journalists and activists and youtube is indispensable for finding diy repair videos and such but holy poo poo the toxic content on both platforms is actively ruining the world as we speak facebook is total garbage though, I can’t believe they actually went forward with their stupid tablet camera spy device today that’s what everyone needs, yet another alexa enabled device pushed by loving facebook of all companies

Dead Beef posted:The place where I work has developed their own variation of this software used internally. It ranks workers based on how likely they are to steal data, leak secrets, or consider changing jobs. Data is collected from social media, LinkedIn, internal emails, even financial records (having debt increases your risk). Any publicly available data could potentially be used. The system is used to make decisions about who should be assigned to do work. “considering changing jobs? how dare you! only I decide when it’s time for you to change jobs!”

Vox Nihili posted:If you're on one of the public plans then you're typically OK. If you're not (most people are not) then they just treat you without telling you that you hosed up by showing your face there, then pick an arbitrary large number and bill you for that amount. Your insurance nopes out and pays maybe 10% (or nothing) and then you get to squabble over how much you're actually willing/able to pay for the next few months/years. Presumably they have an extremely robust billing/collections department. love to have a free market healthcare system where all prices are a total mystery until a bill that’s orders of magnitude higher than it has any right to be winds up in your mailbox

all of these Silicon Valley guys are control freaks who refuse to accept the fact that they’re eventually going to get old and die the bulletproof coffee guy has wasted over a million dollars on pure quackery in the foolish quest to live to 180 years old. he obviously has some sort of hypochondria or health anxiety (hello self-diagnosed fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic Lyme!) but since he also has tech money and connections he turned that into a lucrative business selling other medically illiterate tech people snake oil like “toxin-free” coffee with butter in it and nootropics that give you diarrhea and of course you have Thiel and his ghoulish unscientific idea that infusions of teen blood keeps you young forever Rhesus Pieces has issued a correction as of 00:00 on Jan 27, 2019 |
