Dono do Facebook é criticado após decisão sobre comentário de Trump

Mark Zuckerberg foi criticado por funcionários por não remover post de Trump Dado Ruvic/Reuters - 08.04.2019

Funcionários do Facebook que criticaram a decisão do presidente-executivo da empresa, Mark Zuckerberg, de não remover um comentário inflamatório do presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, levaram as divergências ao Twitter no fim de semana, elogiando a empresa rival e reprovando seu próprio empregador.

Muitos funcionários de empresas de tecnologia como Facebook, Google e Amazon se tornaram ativos em temas de justiça social nos últimos anos, e têm instado seus empregadores a tomar medidas e mudar políticas internas.

Ainda assim, as críticas a Zuckerberg marcaram um raro caso de funcionários de alto nível que assumiram publicamente posições contra seu próprio CEO, com pelo menos três críticas vistas pela Reuters provenientes de pessoas que se identificaram como altos gerentes.

“Mark está errado, e vou me esforçar o máximo possível para fazê-lo mudar de ideia”, escreveu Ryan Freitas, cuja conta no Twitter o identifica como diretor de design de produto do News Feed, do Facebook. Ele acrescentou que mobilizou mais de 50 pessoas com opiniões parecidas para fazer lobby por mudanças internas.

Jason Toff, identificado como diretor de gerenciamento de produtos, escreveu: “Trabalho no Facebook e não tenho orgulho de como estamos aparecendo. A maioria dos colegas de trabalho com quem falei se sente da mesma maneira. Estamos fazendo nossa voz ser ouvida.”

O Twitter colocou um alerta na sexta-feira em um tuíte de Trump que violava suas regras por “enaltecer a violência”. O Facebook se recusou a tomar medidas sobre a mesma mensagem, com Zuckerberg dizendo em publicação que, embora ache as observações “profundamente ofensivas”, a empresa decidiu que não violava sua política contra “incitações à violência”.

O Facebook não respondeu imediatamente a um pedido de comentário sobre as críticas dos funcionários.

Duke Kahanamoku reflects on surfing, Olympics, and old Hawaii in 1966 interview

Duke Kahanamoku is the most influential surfer of all time and is often hailed as the father of modern surfing. There is nearly no one questioning these titles. Recently, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Hawaii unveiled a never-before-seen interview with the legendary surfer and Olympic swimmer. In the 1966 episode of Pau Hana Years, a seminal Hawaii television program that aired on KHET-TV (now PBS Hawaii) for 16 years, running from 1966 until 1982, Bob Barker chats with Duke Kahanamoku, then 76. The conversation drifts from royal ancestry to Olympic lanes, from Hollywood sets to a surfboard shaped by hand, tracing the outline of a life that helped define modern surfing and Hawaii's public image in the 20th century. And if you know little about the man who dreamed of getting surfing into the Olympic Games, this is a precious piece of history. A name with history, worn casually The interview starts with Kahanamoku explaining that "Duke" is not a title but his giv...

The hydrodynamics of surfboard fins

Have you ever wondered why a surfboard fin looks like that? It is a single or a set of fixed blades or keels located under a board, near the tail, often no bigger than a hand. Yet that small surface is where much of the surfboard's behavior takes place. Speed, hold, looseness, and the feeling of control all trace back to how water moves around fins. The physics of surfboard fins falls under hydrodynamics, the study of how fluids behave in motion. So, according to science, they feature a shape designed to turn flowing water into several forces. Let's take a look at what's at stake when fins and water interact. Lift and the feeling of control One of the key variables in hydrodynamic terms involving surfboard fins is lift. When a surfer leans into a turn, the board tilts and the fins meet the water at an angle. The angle is enough to create a pressure difference between the two sides of the fin. Water speeds up on one side and slows on the other. The result is a sidewa...

How paddleboarding transforms your body and mind

Adventure is on our doorstep. With so many different bodies of water available to paddleboarders, from city canals to coastal routes, we can find adventure in places much closer to home than people might initially expect. According to the Canal and River Trust, 50 percent of people in England and Wales live within just eight kilometers of a canal or river, and eight million people live less than one kilometer away. I had lived within just a few kilometers of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal for years and never really explored it before stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) came into my life . The challenge created both a new perspective and a deeper love for where I lived and the areas which I passed through. On my coast-to-coast journey, I slept in my own bed for two nights as the route passed through my then hometown of Skipton, yet I felt I was on a grand journey of discovery. We are braver, stronger, and more resilient than we think. SUP not only helps us feel more connected to our va...
