Re: Re: Are We Learning?
It's a solution that can be done.
The one involving a humane, honest decision is not available in Georgia and elsewhere. That requires cops to not make those big ticket trafficking arrests. Of innocent people.
Now guess which is most likely to be achieved first, and the cops doing the right thing is not it.

One small picky point
Cambridge-based Arm makes processor chips for almost all the world’s smartphones.
No, they don't. They design the core architecture, then "license" their designs. Indeed, apple doesn't actually use "the" ARM design. Their architectural license allows them to innovate (there's that damn word again!). No additional royalties required, although the typical ARM royalty is in the pennies per processor range. About a dime from what I recall.
Don't get all down on apple and others about their use of ARM licenses. Without ARM's designs many small systems would never have existed. They efficient designs were often the only way a reasonable (balanced watt/cost/performance) could be built. We are were we are in the smartphone ecosystem because of low power, effective ARM design expertise.

Re: Establishment vs Innovators
Except, EU in general has always been this way. This is not new behavior learned after watching Silicon Valley succeed. It was well established and, indeed, they only dug their heels in harder in response to the success of others.

So, nobody at FB/Google is a software dev
Well, let me clarify that: A good software dev.
The search flags are set, and the wide swatch of the web in Google's case and the subset of the web that is FB. If something is flagged, the reason for the flag is KNOWN at that time. Proper error returns, or error logging must show what (and hopefully where) the error was as well as the type of error.
TechDirt article X, Hate speech flag, comments section.
Based on Google's use of Go and their penchant for ML driven solutions one would be surprised if they ever managed to do it correctly.
A detailed error might be difficult for their solution; Which is still fn-ing wrong.
Interesting, no pictures of themselves, their family or their pets. No shots of sunsets, sunrises, the family car. The pictures are repeated hundreds of times, all post many, many pictures of their photo set.
Nothing but processed (photo shopped or done professionally) GOP/Trump-think images. And the ever believable, "I am not a racist" posts. Shortly after calling Dems commies, or being a proud nationalist.
Oddly enough they sound exactly like a racist, act like a racist, bitch like a racist. Me thinks the racist does protest too much.
Do you seriously not know what it takes to be a citizen, and a voter in your burg be it little or huge. Just being Chinese and having a P.O. Box will not do it. So shipping lots and lots of Chinese in to shift an election in the USA isn't gonna fly. EVER!
In my middle sized burg: You must be an American citizen. A resident of the burg and at least 16 to register then 18 by the election. Otherwise they might as well stay in China.
Or in the magical thinking land of Da Trump and his Ettes.
Okay, you misunderstood the message. Clearly you have insufficient use of the terms.
You were totally whipped in a clear example of someone needing a whipping because reading dictionaries was not in your skill set.
Now, you are using YaBut. Ya But what about my whiny argument and you tots missed my point. Which I had not made previously but thought of after the whipping.

Yes, but first they must be an actual reporter
And this one is definitely suspect.
Listen to various chats, fueled by who knows what, believe it (for who knows why), publish and double down. Include the names of people who said that the initial info didn't make any sense, and clam up when the list of people that clearly knows better.
That is hardly a mistake. That is bad reporting. Bad publishing too.

Here in the USA -
Wait, we are worse with legislating pretty much anything. No really!
V-chip for the LOSS. Our congressmen (specifically white/old/men) are unqualified to use smart phones, must less actually read and understand the Constitution. So, pardon the fuck out of me, there is zero chance they could even stumble on good legislation of anything technical. Ever.
And this particular party of clowns makes me wonder if they can do anything besides giving benefits to the rich. All while having designs on removing entitlements to everyone that needs them.

Re: Gotcha
Given an intractable problem how is any programmer going to solve the problem regardless of company objectives given, stated or even written down in a requirements document?
The problem is intractable. And the results are subjective. Trying to solve intractable problems mean that the problem scales faster than the solution. Granted Google has a lot of people, machines and tools to harness some of that.
It is a massive problem. It is quite possibly unsolvable.
Because this clearly shows someone wasn't reading any of the memos. Most likely because they were sorting the list based on how much room they had in the backpack. Because using browsers have been doing this as long as there have been browsers.

Internal divisions?
I've wondered whether some of this is Valve personnel having differing opinions on what is porn/dirty/too sexy/etc versus Valve actually having a policy. Them not having the filter functional to support the policy, surprise - not.
It does remind me of Amazon epub deciding to remove ebooks from their customer's devices because someone inside Amazon decided they were porn/over the line/whatever. One such, IIRC, incest related self published collection. The subject is difficult to support but really, what is the point of pushing some employee's viewpoint to restrict what others find reasonable/funny/and lets not forget whatever.
