Like Guantanamo Bay or prosecution of Assange for his journalistic work to expose wrongdoing of government? Or maybe you’re talking about for-profit prison system and mass incarceration practices? But you’re probably talking about China, right?
We have thousands of brown people in camps along the border, in brutal conditions, without access to healthcare(unless you count forced sterilizations as healthcare). Do you consider those to be apples as well?
Why are they in camps along the border? Why are the Uighur? Did the "brown people" break any laws? Did the Uighurs?
Are the "brown people" in camps along the border a single, ethnic minority? Are all "brown people" in the country subject to arrest and under surveillance just for being "brown"?
> No one imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay is a US Citizen and neither is Assange.
That's a glib retort.
A takeaway from your position is that it's ok so long as you do it to citizens of other countries.
> it is not the same as ethnic cleansing.
See the above.
That's always been the difference between the US and China and why so many countries have hatred for us and yet little to none for China. They don't fuck with other countries on the level that we do.
What if down the road advertisers discover that personalized ads is bs and standard non-personal ads work as effectively? What if FB/GOOG are just interested in supporting the hype around it for their own benefit?
It's not just about personalized ads. That's only the happy revenue stream they'll talk about. The others aren't so spinnable.
Second, s we've learned recently, they also sell your data to others for whatever they want to use it for. The third of course is government surveillance. And fourth is face recognition services: they got in trouble for having that feature on platform but who knows who they're selling it to.
I think it was decent attempt of Intel to conquer mobile market and get rid of 3GPP gang. The whole thing was standardized in IEEE and architecture was much simpler than what we have today. I think technology had a decent chance to win but vendor politics killed it. Even if you’re Intel - sometimes you’re not big enough to move the market.
Intel thought they had a lot more power in the telco space than they did based on their position in the PC space. I wrote a research note to that effect and they were not happy.
I didn’t quite stake my career on it but working as embedded/network dev it was three years of my life. It was fun and I learned a ton of stuff about L2 that I almost never had to use and L3-4 that I still use frequently
