I find interesting the concept that the employees working in these positions are viewed internally as "helper" types.
This to me reminds me of police officers and politicians.. Basically the trouble I see is that positions of this type are totally the positions that would naturally attract helper types, but they are also the positions that would naturally attract people who want or think they deserve to have and assert power over others, which are, in my mind, the opposite of what you want in those positions.
In my mind it's not just about getting the right type of people in those positions, but about people knowing that you have the right people in those positions.
No, no, OP is complaining that the Tim is discussing law. People aren't allowed to discuss law unless they are attorneys and such. A journalist is only ever supposed to research or discuss journalism.
Parents should be responsible for any real discretions by their kids at that age..
I think the trouble here goes a ways beyond just the fact that kids can be targeted by lawsuits like this all the way to the government is helicopter parenting the adults they can't solve minor problems and disagreements amongst each other anymore without going to court
It was a scapegoat you were giving a mob of people you knew perfectly well were desperate for any excuse, didn't give 2 shits about credibility and would take what you said at face value. Just because the harm didn't come from credibility doesn't mean you didn't cause it knowingly.
Re: 'No, we're not, and you don't want us to be either.'
Which isn't neutrality at all, it's laissez-fair or shirking, but that choice is already available in several different places. Not many people don't pick those choices because not many people want that.
The thing is no politician is honestly pushing for that either, they are just throwing a fit with no real plan. Some are pushing for a neutral ref as in the sort that will try to rig the game to be tied, some are pushing for less freedom, more control for control's sake, but no one seems to have any vision of what their proposed changes are going actually to accomplish
Re: So how do you explain the Havanna embassy incidents?
An "easy to grasp explanation" is otherwise known as a guess (maybe an educated guess if you are being generous).. What you do in that case is check to see if you can validate your guess.. Thats what studies like this are trying to do.. If you find that the guess doesn't validate, then you assume that guess was wrong and move on to the next one. It's not perfect for sure, the validation can be flawed instead, but as the independent validations pile up you can get pretty good confidence in them.
It's not about the value of the result it's about the process.. Computers don't swallow bullshit nearly as well as people do. "antifa faked it" might get you out of jury duty, but it won't get your drunken idea of tracking feces in comment sections off the ground. Maybe once quantum computing starts to take off though :)
I believe trying to hire software engineers to work at parler is probably a similar task to trying to hire lawyers for trump.. Probably not a large percentage of computer scientists who are anti-science
The distinction between the government making laws to abridge speech about politicians vs other public figures from an originalist viewpoint?
It's supposed to limit the government's power to abridge any speech, not just speech about the government
You think they meant something like
Congress shall make no law .. abridging the freedom of speech [unless the speech isn't about the government, in that case abridge away]?
"Thomas' anger at the Sullivan standard seemed to be... that it let too many people be mean to public figures"
Except that they made an special case for public figures as an excuse to get away with suppressing such speech without running too obviously afoul of the first amendment like criticizing politicians. If you want to be originalist and treating everyone the same, it would be enforcing the first amendment for discussing regular people not throwing it out for discussing politicians

Social media lets word travel faster than before but it doesn't decide which words travel.
Electing to put someone in charge who believes the truth is only good for inconveniencing him is what really amplified the message.
Combined with a political system that brands you a traitor if you don't tow party line and a tradition of the world looking to the U.S. for leadership and you don't need more help, newspapers tv and radio would have worked just fine

Yes, luckily there is still software competition currently allowed with some other hardware like PCs, but that doesn't excuse it being illegal to make it for consoles.

I was aiming more for the
