I don't use Facebook so I can't vouch based on my own usage, but based on conversations w/ her she's been dissatisfied with Facebook for quite some time. She still checks it every day (this is the power of Facebook) but

In 2017 e-commerce accounted for 9% of all retail sales. If I recall correctly, Amazon is the biggest e-commerce vendor and they are using Stripe. There are no sure bets in business, but If I had to bet on a private software company's

I'm not sure that Facebook using Instagram as a way to funnel people back to Facebook is a great strategy. Companies need to be willing to cannibalize themselves or someone will do it for them. I don't know if Zuck had the foresig

On an individual basis, you really don't know, this is why to come to a conclusion that policy methods are discriminatory you need to look at large scale patterns. This shows a bit with regard to voter rights in America. If you look at

If you look deep enough into the history of any modestly large Amercian city (pop. 250,000 +) and it's surrounding suburbs, you will see a metro area that was and still is being shaped by race. It's not a surprise that SF's f

I grew up in Brooklyn in the late 90s, early 2000s. It wasn't the safest neighborhood in the 90s but over time crime dropped significantly. Our neighborhood had/has a huge West Indian population. Growing up I rarely saw white peop

Parents are a really tough constituency, especially the wealthier, former yuppie, homeowner cross-section. If you look at any major initiative to transform urban living, from housing to transportation to schooling you will find this demogra

Mostly on work days (weekdays), throughout the day I have plenty of energy but around 9:30 I start yawning and the exhaustion kicks in. I don't drink coffee or anything to get through the day.

I wake up @ 4AM most days to get my work out in. Walking to the gym gives me a glimpse of a different America. It's mostly men, white guys in my city, they are all middle class looking dudes. Loading up trucks at the nearby grocery or

Linus crossed the line long ago and it's good that he's taking a break to reevaluate his actions. It's one thing to be passionate and opinionated but Linus has shown to be a downright asshole in his administration of Linux.

For sure, we are also starting to see more minority district attorneys and attorney generals. I don't have stats to back this up to sense a trend but America recently had their first black AG (Holder, Lynch) and California and New York

If you look at the data, in general America's youth has been "doing better" compared to the 80s and 90s. High school graduation rates are up [0], juvenile crime is down [1], teenage pregnancy is down [2], tobacco use was down

"Tough on crime" was always a dog whistle to signal to (most) voters that politicians were willing to lock up minorities for comparably minor crimes. It's good to see that the winds have shifted towards a more just system alt

Definitely agree with the premise here. GDP is up, employment is up, stock market is up. But inequality is growing by day, market consolidation is becoming more and more of a problem, and most Americans are not invested in the stock market,

Totally understand your point. I think the main thing I'm trying to achieve with my comment is that consumers should understand that the reported feature size will correlate weaker in the future to overall performance than it used to.

I think you (and everyone else) does this implicitly. It makes sense for a survival perspective to be able to assess how people react to certain comments & actions in conversation. If other people support a comment it's a signal th

You're correct, smaller features will improve performance. What I'm saying is that it is becoming so expensive and difficult to get high yield on smaller feature size that from a product generation to product generation other perf

Not sure I agree with this. After the 2016 election I was really wired into news. I watched a lot of CNN and was tuned in the 24 hour news cycle, after a couple of months I decided I didn't really like the way this news was delivered b
