That's a great point. Google tends to collocate teams by product, so that may be their answer to this. But it's true that you'll eventually reach a scale where you're going to have daily remote interactions, regardless o

Very interesting. This seems like more of an open co-working space, but it pokes at that hybrid remote / co-located idea.

Definitely. But there's also been very little investment into remote work, both from a research and infrastructure perspective. I just wonder, if they were to take some of this cash and invest it into proving out remote work, would it

Between this $2B deal and the $5B Apple Park deal, I start to wonder how companies are justifying these purchases as remote and distributed work becomes more feasible. They're probably focused on the fact that productivity is still hig

I totally see what you're saying, but that's not what happened here. This was deliberate and subjective curation by a group of similarly politically minded individuals, despite the fact that the feed appeared to be organic. They w

Many American liberals are just as hard-headed and difficult to debate with. The Overton Window has shifted in the past couple years and the original leftists are now centrists. America has become radically polarized and the radical liberal

This is a big problem that I've been seeing a lot lately: Liberals and Progressives thinking that they're absolutely right and just, and as such, they should censor those that they perceive as not being right or just. But who is t

Are you suggesting with a straight face that CNN "News" is fair and balanced? Or perhaps any of the myriad of blatantly politically charged companies out of Silicon Valley? It happens on both sides, and it wouldn't be unreaso

> The problem isn't that FB is slanted, but that FB has a near-monopoly on user attention, which allows its slant to be both covert and disproportionately influential. I couldn't agree more. They also have an unprecedented leve

Absolutely. Users don't perceive Facebook as a news site. They perceive it as a representation of their community, and as such, it is immensely more influential. That's why this is dangerous.

On the point about the difference between "conservative news" and "liberal news", I agree that it's unfortunate the two even exist. But for the sake of the Gizmodo article, I think it was important for them to call

And your point? Companies like this realize that promoting / rewarding on results and competency, rather than age and tenure, is much more effective. But this is honestly nothing new. It was surprising to me that the author just couldn

Really impressive response - they took the high road here and the data was nice. The whole time I was reading the book, I just felt like something was off. Like he was sort of out of touch and hypocritical in a lot of his arguments (like ac

I didn't get a total feeling of maturity from his writing. Did you read it? Mostly low-ball shots taken at startup practices that are pretty commonplace now, primarily for their proven effectiveness. Like the fact that he was disturbed

Don't worry. I have a newer GoPro and I truly love it. It's taken some of my favorite pictures, including my engagement picture :) Great wide angle lens and the integration with the phone app is really nice.

I would love to know if any research is being done on this. On a comedic note, Bill Burr refers to it as the "www.IAmRight.com effect", where people develop absurd opinions and then just Google sources to support their opinions (r

I totally agree with you. I actually think that's what Twitter was originally intended for. But I can't help but think about how a huge portion of Twitter has just devolved into a community of angry, underinformed, unqualified pse

Logically speaking, we could apply this the other way as well, right? I wonder what horrors shows like "Keeping up with the Kardashians" and "Housewives of Beverly Hills" have done to our society. "But it's jus

"Words are the most hurtful things there are." I understand what you're getting at, but that is hilariously untrue and a perfect representation of the delusion that the social justice movement operates under.

The greatest function that IQ Score has served for my organization is that it's helped us spot people that completely lack intellectual humility, because they'll do exactly what you just did. If a candidate mentions their IQ score

The creepiest implication with this is if you get the wrong person in power at the right time, they might be able to keep their party or interests in power for an atypically long time, given access to these new tools. We all know that keepi

Thanks for sharing this, it was really informative. I agree, we have to find ways to fight back and stand up against this stuff at home. Telling yourself that you can just retreat to the Nordic countries (like they're some kind of utop

I wouldn't be surprised at all. Zuckerberg worries me in a very ominous and looming way. He has access to a lot of data and his company is a massive source of public influence. And he's repeatedly abused that power with little to

This could make for an incredible movie plot. Humans spend all this time studying climate change and debating about it, only to find out that we were staring the result of it right in the face the whole time: Venus. We discover that the ori

Absolutely. And even more dangerous is the perception that there isn't a curator, when there really is one. That is the case with Facebook today.

This so true and a major concern. The next wave of highly effective propaganda and thought control could very easily manifest itself through this. Today, people know better than to blindly believe the news media. If information is coming fr
