"The hashtag #DeleteFacebook appeared more than 10,000 times on Twitter within a two-hour period on Wednesday, according to the analytics service ExportTweet. On Tuesday, it was mentioned 40,398 times, according to the analytics service Digimind."
Is this really such a big deal for Facebook?
Suppose 50000 persons delete their Facebook everyday, then it will just lose 1,825,0000 users one year, not counting new users joining Facebook every year. And Facebook has 2 billion users.
Edit: The number lost in one year is 1,825,0000, not 1,825,000.
In my opinion, Bush should be tried in the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
Hundreds of thousands Iraqs were kill in and after the war, and nobody is responsible for it, only because the invaders are the most powerful and wealthiest countries in the world.
If people can get the fork back after reaching out to [email protected], why would not GitHub resolve this issue once and for all, so that people will not need to reach out to [email protected] any more?
Ofo offered monthly pass of 1 yuan per month in Beijing for some time last year and even if you don't have a monthly pass, you can ride at a fee of 1 yuan per hour.
Mobike offers seasonly pass of 5 yuan per 3 months in Beijing.
Both of them are heavily subsided by investment. Sooner or later, people will get used to low price or no price, and I don't think they will finally generate profits after the fierce competition between them ends.
I think stickfigure is trying to say that, with cameras above head, which will result in higher probability of being caught if someone commits a crime, the one who would commit a crime if there was no camera will refrain from committing a crime.
With cameras, the probability of losing life will be smaller than without them.
Maybe you should not use anything Made in China, 'a country with lower values of ethic', because anything Made in China you consumed contribute to the economy of the China.
If you continue to use made in China, your criticizing Google setting up an AI lab in China is just hypocrisy.
I think Google just wants to recruit AI talents from China and uses research from the AI center in China in markets it is not banned.
If so, they don't need to interact with the government that much like when they offered a search service to Chinese netizens.
I can think some companies that just do this. Hulu has an office in Beijing, although it doesn't offer video streaming service in China. And Grab has an office in Beijing too, although it only targets Southeast Asia market.
Isn't something published available to all the world?
If Google first publishes some result X, and Chinese researchers find this result, they are free to use this result to publish some result Y, regardless of whether Google opens an AI center in China.
An AI center is not a product like a search engine or Windows, or an e-commerce site.
It helps China cultivate talents, why would China limit its influence.
MSRA accomplishes many things worthwhile such as ResNet in China, and it prospers now. Some researchers enter MSRA, and some leave. They enter or leave not because the government force them to do so, they enter or leave because they can tell where opportunity resides.
Once www.people.cn (the website of People's Daily) built a search engine and failed. If Chinese government stole search technology from Google, why would it give it to Baidu not to a search engine set up by its mouthpiece?
Baidu had already been popular in China before Google officially entered China, so there is no 'this is how Baidu got started' thing.
First, Chinese government is not Nazi and Google is not IBM. You can't just say that a government is Nazi just because you hate that government.
Second, even if Google openly broke with Chinese government, it still has offices in China. I doubt that Google opens an AI center in China to "allow its DeepMind technology to be used to spy on Chinese citizens and dissidents", and I do think that Google has a big ambition than you can think in China. And I think that ambition is to advance AI with the help of local talents.
"138KB * 24 * 3600 / 5" should be 2.3287GB per day.
And it's 2.3287GB * 30 per month.
Update 2:
"For comparison, a 5-minute check would be considered a pretty aggressive checking interval, and would only consume 1,37 MB per month. Instead, TP-Link goes through the same amount of data in just 82 minutes."
This assertion from the article has multiple errors too.
You can share the articles to your friends in China, and they surely will not be jailed.
And I think you can talk with them about China's internal politics through WeChat if they are interested in these talks, if there is not a third person will report your conversations to the authority.
The person in the article is 'jailed', because someone publicizes his comment or reports it to authority.
