Who on earth made the decision to pay prisoners for blood and not test it? I realise it was the early days of HIV, but enough was understood at the time to make that one of the most evil things I've ever heard.

When I visited the US for the first time 3 years ago, I was shocked by the levels of segregation. For reference I grew up in black South Africa.

This is true. It's also 'whataboutery'. Slavery was always abhorrent, and the fact it was and is widely practiced does not excuse its beneficiaries. What is interesting is that I don't think you are deploying this rhetor

This is the most fascinating article I have read this month, if not year. Thanks to the author, if you find your way to these comments. What I found particularly interesting: 1. The insight into Igbo culture and its complexity. We rarely se

This is an odd response to the article. You've had quite an emotional reaction to a well-written and informative piece. In a quieter moment, you might reflect on all the possibilities for your raised ire.

As a child I had a strong South African accent, although I could not hear it. I remember visiting some relatives in the north of England and being very surprised by their accents - and saying to my mother, "thank goodness we don't

It's really appalling. The correct behaviour is to pull the plug on your shitty promotion and issue a message of condolence. One company, one guy is not representative of an industry, but my experience of 75% of people in the blockchai

Matt and substack, do you think privately-owned media platforms could be disintermediated by blockchain type solutions, linking producers to consumers without a middleman?

That was excellent. Thanks for posting. It's a short film, so it's not a criticism, but I hope he explains why this happened in more detail.

I get the distinct impression that Zuckerberg has been briefed to say "I'll get back to you on that", on anything that might be controversial. Probably some wisdom in that as it defuses a lot of emotion that could arise if ce

It's laughable she is called brilliant: anyone with a shred of common sense would guess that a douchebag business model like FB is ultimately going to be a liability.

It's what they call "lawyered responses" in Singapore. Watch this prat from Facebook get his arse served to him by a Singaporean MP. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ziTfDdffUKs This is funny in a way, but I thi

She's the de facto CEO. She's placed there by investors to manage Zuck and stop him doing anything that might jeopardise all that IPO capital - and after her time at Google, she proved she knew how to manage ASD idealists. I'

Yes, this. It seems SCL associates have exploited the commercial veil very effectively and we need to look behind that veil to work out what happened. I would also say that SCL has very cleverly exploited the difference between equity and c

I'm not Italian, but I love the country and have Italian cousins. These things surprised me: 1. The need for licenses to build anything. I seem to recall the figure of 100,000 euros licence to open a small chemist. 2. The need of supp

Well done you two. Prison shatters families and communities when a family or community member is sent to jail. Talk about cruel and inhumane, to punish children for their parents transgressions.

Interesting information, thank you. The knives do seem to be out for FB right now, but equally it is the douchiest of douchebag business models, essentially: we'll give you a means to engage with the world, but we're going to watc
