This is a surprisingly interesting video featuring NBA greats naming their all-time Starting Five. As far as we can tell here, the biggest student of the game is the late Kobe Bryant, who’s the first one asked. He names his five as Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain, after saying it’s hard to pick Wilt over Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. When asked if he would put himself on that list, he immediately says “no dude, I’m nowhere near that stuff, man. You still got Jerry West, you still got Oscar Robertson, you still got Walt Frazier, you still got Bob Pettit, you still got...the list goes on and on.” Some of the other stars asked are Magic Johnson, Tracy McGrady, Alan Iverson, Kevin Durant and, inevitably, Charles Barkley. Some guys name themselves and some have a real recency bias. LeBron James is surprisingly up and down, perhaps because a lot of these guys played against him and may not have enjoyed it. Also, some of the interviews are older. For instance, Magic criticizes Steph Curry for only having won one championship. He also insults Shaquille O’ Neal, saying that “he’s no Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.” Ouch.

PARIS, France (AFP) — Like internet personalities the world over, Kenyan TikTok comedian Mark Mwas was intrigued when Facebook announced a $1 billion plan to pay content creators like him. But the 25-year-old, whose following surged past 160,000 as entertainment-starved Kenyans flocked to the app during the pandemic, is skeptical that fans would follow him to the older social network. “In our market, Facebook is kinda old-fashioned,” said Mwas, who posts skits about campus life in a mixture of Swahili, English, and Sheng slang. “Like, Mom is on Facebook and doesn’t know what TikTok is,” he told AFP in an email. “My content is suited for the millennials, who prefer other platforms.” Announced last week, Facebook’s $1 billion will pay the creators of popular posts, from fashionistas to comedians and video gamers, through 2022.

Older job seekers on LinkedIn receive fewer job offers than youngsters, reveals a novel study published in the journal Hogrefe.  Representational Image: 3 idiots/Boman IraniAlso Read: LinkedIn Data Breach Exposed Private Data Of Over 700 Million UsersResearchers recruited two groups of US-based LinkedIn users -- a group that had older participants and a group that had younger participants. The younger group (which had 110 participants) had an average age of 28 years whereas the second group had 88 people with an average age of 55 years.Half of the participants had a bachelor’s degree, a quarter had a master’s degree and a quarter had a high-school degree. The individuals belong to a variety of sectors including IT, finance, healthcare and even retail.For each of the participants, the researchers recorded how many LinkedIn contacts they had, along with their skills and recommendations. They also looked at images uploaded by the users as their profile images and how old they were when the image was taken.Researchers, comparing the two groups, couldn't find major differences in their impression management skills and both prominently listed their work experiences and technical skills. They also saw that surprisingly, the older group had more polished, well-filled profiles compared to…

Davante Adams has thoughts on his situation with the Green Bay Packers and wants the world to know it. On Friday, after news broke that the All-Pro receiver is no longer having conversations with the Packers regarding a contract extension, the four-time Pro Bowler made a post on Instagram that seems to allude to ESPN’s The Last Dance documentary. Soon after, quarterback Aaron Rodgers joined in by posting the same photo. The documentary covered the 1997-1998 Chicago Bulls during their “last dance” as the team’s general manager Jerry Krause planned on rebuilding the team in a post-dynasty image the following season. If you want to read into the heavy-handed metaphor, it seems like Adams and Rodgers are claiming that this will be their final year in Green Bay. Adams, a 2022 free agent who apparently wants to be paid like the best player at his position in the league, already stated this offseason that he will not holdout due to the NFL’s fine system under the 2020 collective bargaining agreement, which successfully avoided a single holdout league-wide for ownership and front offices last season. Under the new fine system, veterans can be fined $50,000 per day for holding out, with…

At the start of 2021, a poorly communicated privacy policy change spurred a mass exodus from Facebook-owned WhatsApp. During the week after the announcement – which saw WhatsApp demand users accept a new policy or delete their accounts – downloads of rival Signal surged by 35 times to 8.8 million causing its servers to crash. Others switched to Telegram, which was downloaded 11m times during the week following the privacy update.The uproar came after millions of people misinterpreted WhatsApp’s new terms to mean more data would be shared with its parent Facebook. This wasn’t the case: the update to WhatsApp’s policy covers the way people communicate with businesses, and the data shared with Facebook remains the same.Yet the policy change and resulting backlash highlighted the large amounts of data WhatsApp can collect since its 2014 acquisition by Facebook. Spoiler: it is still a lot. But six months later WhatsApp is still by far the most popular messaging app, with two billion users.Other Facebook-owned companies collect and share even more data. Instagram’s privacy policy is almost identical to Facebook’s, and the two can freely exchange information to serve you advertising.So, what data does Facebook actually get from WhatsApp and Instagram, and…

Opinion/Editorial: Facebook posts must hoe the line Elizabeth Licata of Buffalo, New York, moderates the WNY Gardeners on Facebook.   Elizabeth Licata via AP The Daily Progress A garden group administrator is having a whoele peck of trouble with Facebook.At hoeme in western New York, Elizabeth Licata helps to moderate a 7,500-member Facebook gardening group.But Facebook doesn’t approve of a very important gardening tool, the humble hoe. The word, unfortunately, is too closely related to another word that is a particularly derogatory term for a prostitute or a generally promiscuous person.And so “hoe” gets flagged by Facebook’s algorithms as violating the company’s standards.When a group member posted “Push pull hoe!” in response to a question about members’ favorite gardening tools, Facebook stepped in, The Associated Press reports.“We reviewed this comment and found it goes against our standards for harassment and bullying,” said Facebook.OK, granted, “Push pull hoe!” may be a bit loaded with double entendre.  » Read More

Ingraham claims that she was upfront about her boudoir photos and Onlyfans account and it was only after she was accepted as a candidate that the party allegedly told her to step down and to blame it on her mental health. “There is always that sense that women’s sexuality must be controlled so an implication of sexuality is immediately going to disqualify a woman because she is automatically going to be considered not as serious,” said Co-Founder of Inspiring Women Among Us, Dr. Annie Booth.Here in Prince George former Green Party candidate, Mackenzie Kerr, came to Ingraham’s defense by tweeting out her own boudoir photos. “We are still not there as a society, that’s why I decided to post them. We are never going to progress as a society if we don’t talk about it and we continue to hide it as we have been told since we were young girls. We have been told that we can’t do these things if we want to look professional,” said Kerr.Women continue to face a double standard when it comes to what they are allowed to do and how they are allowed to look versus men. “The Premier of Nova Scotia had…
