Sam Harris | Joe Rogan and the Ethics of Apology

noseeem jokingly says...

Nice that he gets the understanding and benefit of the doubt. So what about Whoopi?

She hosts a show based on sharing viewpoints. She gave her's. Nothing offense other than, perhaps, ignorance (like that's in short supply nowadays) which could have been checked during the show. Maybe throw Joy under the bus too? Behar and Goldberg. (oh. the irony)

The zaniness of talking about "Maus" being banned, then having a decent, honest human, punished for something so much, much, less trivial is madding.

"Man's inhumanity to man" gets her quiet time. Which book are they throwing at her?

If Joe can be tolerated for more, Whoopie should be for less.

Inside Of A Chinese Click Farm

Guy Gets Inside A Chinese Click Farm And Holy Crap, That's A Lot Of Phones

​Turns out if you want to run a business where you rate a bunch of apps and write fake reviews, you can't just spoof having a bunch of phones — you actually need the phones. And so that's what we have here: a room full of phones relentlessly rating apps and writing BS reviews because everything in life (and particularly on the internet) is a lie.

A Russian man visited a Chinese click farm. They make fake ratings for mobile apps. He said they have 10,000 more phones.

A Russian Went Inside A Chinese Click-Farm: This Is What He Found

On the day when Snapchat erased billions of market cap from investors (and founders) accounts - as the MAUs-means-money model seems to break - we thought it worthwhile taking another glimpse into the hush-hush world of 'click-farms' and the fakeness of the latest social network fads.

So, if they're not human, where do all those "likes," "retweets," and "followers" lighting up your social media accounts from?

Thanks to this Russian gentleman - who visited a Chinese click farm, where they make fake ratings for mobile apps and other things like this - we now know...

He said they have 10,000 more phones just like these.

As we concluded previously, the bottom line is simple: "The illusion of a massive following is often just that," said Tony Harris, who does social media marketing for major Hollywood movie firms, said he would love to be able to give his clients massive numbers of Twitter followers and Facebook fans, but buying them from random strangers is not very effective or ethical. And once the prevailing users of social networks grasp that one of the main driving features of the current social networking fad du jour is nothing but a big cash scam operating out of a basement in the far east, expect both Facebook and shortly thereafter, Twitter, to go the way of 6 Degrees, Friendster and MySpace, only this time the bagholders will be the public. Because "it is never different this time." The only certain thing: someone will promptly step in to replace any social network that quietly fades into the sunset.

Inside China's phoney 'click farm': Tiny office uses 10,000 handsets to send fake ratings and 'likes' for boosting clients' online popularity.

Patrick Stewart Looks Further Into His Dad's Shell Shock

noims says...

I've been struggling to find the right adjective to use to describe your story, but all I can say is thank you for telling it. It's personal accounts like this that really bring home the effects of war, and this is what happened to the victors!

I admit I don't read much non-fiction, but I hold a very special place in my heart and my life for Spike Milligan's war diaries which, along with the Maus graphic novels, taught me more about the reality of war than I ever wanted to know. Like your story they are so relatable and so full of banality and horror side-by-side that my disgust for the instigators makes it painful to try to see things from their point of view.

I try to eliminate unconscious bias where I spot it, but here I just can't. Unfortunately this disgust also stops me from wanting to learn more.

MilkmanDan said:

Possible, but I don't really think so. [...] I'd wager that when the docs said Stewart's father's shell shock was a reaction to aerial bombardment, that was really just a face-saving measure to try to explain away the perceived "weakness" of his condition.

anyone know what video I'm talking about? (german tv rap) (Terrible Talk Post)

Watchmen Trailer

my15minutes says...

no movie could possibly live up to the source material, for me, but i'll see it anyway.

and yeah, i kinda' wish no one ever tried to. even gilliam passed, long ago, and i can't think of any director better qualified, or suited, for it.
anything even close to a proper adaptation, would be the longest movie ever made, and be disjointed enough to make Memento a breeze to follow by comparison.

but i recommend it the highest among comics, followed by Dark Knight Returns and Maus. i'm the sole reason most of my friends have read it.

Estrada. Just...Estrada.

sixfeet says...

Nicky Cruz (b. December 6, 1938 in San Juan, Puerto Rico) is the former leader of a notorious New York City gang, The Mau-Maus. This movie details how he came to become a Christian (and he's the character Estrada plays).

But yeah, without context it can be pretty funny.
