This commenter seems fishy (AI).

Not a bug, a feature.

Exactly. So many people missing the whole point.

This. The survelliance state smiles when people find ok to film their neighbors for "safety" purposes.

Well, well, well, seems you're onto something here.

Most people wouldn't want to be constantly bothered by an agent unsolicited. Just my 1 cent.

Back in the old twitter days you could have screenshots of your tweets being displayed by a number of different 'dubious' accounts on instagram, completely out of your control.

That's just how things work, I guess.

Back in the day I used to log in to a MUSH called Elendor (telnet).

It was simply magical and I have many good memories venturing through middle-earth and meeting fellow chars.

I don't see how less video time for people would harm innovation.

If you, like me and most people I know, hate ads, why would it be a bad thing to limit it?

What are we expecting to actually accomplish with all this platform growth thing?

I don’t get the comparison. It would be like saying it’s okay if an excel formula gives me different outcomes everytime with the same arguments, sometimes right, but mostly wrong.

I don't get your point.

Who's claiming that living inside the boundaries of such zones would confer health benefits?

The paper is pointing out that if you actually look at the data there is nothing remarkable about the region's average lifespan (actually lower than the entire country of Japan), which is what's being discussed here.

From the paper: For example, the Centres for Disease Control generated an independent estimate of average longevity across the USA: they found that Loma Linda, a Blue Zone supposedly characterised by a ‘remarkable’ average lifespan 10 years above the national average, instead has an unremarkable average lifespan29 (27th-75th percentile; Fig S6).

Big tech is more concerned in how to make the most out of all the data we give them willingly.

Actually, racial and moral superiority were a big factor in the ideology for enslaving and killing native americans.
