I wonder how Tesla shareholders feel about this situation. It seems like by leveraging with his Tesla shares, he's passing on the risk to everyone who owns Tesla stock. If they have a couple bad quarters or some kind of macro change ha

The problem that the article is pointing out at least is that the free speech idealists don’t actually seem to have a vision to realize their ideals, and in many cases behave in ways that are counter to the absolutist rhetoric that they’re

This research on the neurological damaged caused by covid suggests that we objectively don't yet understand the long term impacts of covid infection. Given that something like 40% of the US has contracted covid at least once (per CDC

Most of their players are in the Philippines, and based on reading the subreddit and twitter replies are pretty technically unsophisticated. I think a lot of them just don't yet realize that they may not be able to cash out, since they

With their $600k of revenue of course: https://twitter.com/sarthakgh/status/1508794202360004613 Not for nothing, there can be a lot of value in simplifying things that could be trivially solved on a small scale by

It looks like the same internal conflict I've seen elsewhere: Non-technical marketing or exec people demand "web3" and "NFTs" and the engineers tell them it's silly and why does our in-memory json database need

By what normative standards? It's a labor market. If employers want employees to come in and get middle managed by chair watchers, I'm sure there's a number high enough to convince almost any remote-preferring worker.

I think that's mainly cultural, actually. "Github is down" is seen as "take the day off". But it actually is pretty easy to work around a remote being temporarily down. Developers can use their local copies of cod

The reality is a lot narrower than you're implying, however: “We are issuing a spirit-of-the-policy allowance to allow T1 violent speech that would otherwise be removed under the hate speech policy when: (a) targeting Russian soldiers

Sure, but that equally applies to companies following the money when they de-platform somebody over public or internal outrage at being associated with or enriching them. The point is that Substack's market position as "place wher

You're only saying that censorship isn't a problem for content that you personally judge to be unimportant. Many don't see it that way - they see policies like this as evidence of Substack appeasing Christian moralist values

That post you linked is itself spreading misinformation. Notice how it retreats to the argumentative "motte" of bio labs - which are not a secret - while contextually purporting to support the claim that the US is developing bio

It also says Kyiv hasn't been bombed (it has, including civilian areas), that Russia hasn't used its expensive equipment (they've fired at least 600 cruise missiles at Ukraine as well as the SU-34s you mentioned, and the top-

I don’t think this is a stable long term solution. The “on call” teams end up frustrated with the engineers who ship bugs and this results in added process that delays deploys, arbitrary demands for test coverage, capricious error budgets,

Surely the important distinction here is that the state has the power to imprison or execute people. In our day to day lives, we frequently make decisions based on things not proved to that standard, such as in job interviews or on dates. P
