I have one but I rarely use it. If I meet someone at a conference or through work we might connect via LinkedIn but it feels more like creating a rolodex I'll never use. Presently I have 50 connections via LinkedIn, any more than that

I think four years is the right amount of time, and serve the whole four. I don't see them as blatantly criminal as SBF, and while agreeing to plead guilty and testifying against SBF is good, it doesn't quite mitigate their role f

When a company starts playing weird games with how it reports user activity, something is going very, very wrong. In general, when a company starts trying to obfuscate the true numbers about its revenue, growth, or profit, it’s a bad sign.

There's two different ways of answering this question: What would I do if I didn't need money for myself, and what would I do if I didn't need money for myself but had money for others. In the first, I would keep working and

I think apps over time reduced dating and courtship to very short interactions. It may also have something to do with less places young people can go to interact with each other, but maybe that swipe left or right has permeated to our in-pe

In college my roommates and I discovered way to get free washing, but not drying. This meant we had to hang out clothes in the bathroom. The biggest problem with this was that it made the bathroom off limits to showers for two days, and the

End of an era. When I was a little kid ICQ was my first messaging program. It was the first time I spoke to someone over the computer. Even though I have not used it in a long time it gives me feelings of nostalgia.

This is very sad. I was inspired by his films to think about society in unique ways, and enjoyed some of what he produced. It is a terrible loss to creativity.

The college degree has become diluted over time. As more people go to college and receive degrees, the less special those degrees are treated. Then it becomes the type of degree you get, then the major. It's relatively easy for most pe

Ok, I understand, but the mores of the day can go in the wrong direction. We hope they are positive but there's no guarantee they will be today, or in the future. However your comment raises one major point about mores of the day: They

Just to give an idea of the timeline for this. Just about every government regulatory action requires a comment period. After the proposed rule comment period ends, the government generally responds to those comments in aggregate which can

All very good ideas, but I think plastic pollution has become inescapable. The plastic is not just in the products we may use, but it's in the water we drink, the food we eat and, according to this study, in the air we breathe. It&#x27

Go further in this analysis. How, precisely? Congress is so beholden to special interest groups with a stake in plastic, from petrochemicals to bottling industries, that it seems paralyzed to do anything about it. Does the American governme

Depends on the position. Donating in favor of gay marriage was once seen as a very bad thing with many negative personal consequences. My parents gave money to stop Proposition 8, but I don't think they would have if they knew their na

What's your definition of "good" ? In the past, the right for women to vote, to get an abortion, for gays to be married, for blacks to vote without fear of harm, were all "unpopular-to-power opinions" and deemed &qu

Brazilians don't care because they largely live in poverty, and China is promising the country and its people economic salvation. It's an easy choice for Brazil against America, whom they see as an economic oppressor.
