Hitchens has fallen into the category of "verysmart" persons, who are cited by "verysmart" persons when they want to sound "verysmart". The argument comes from a place of privilege, is egregiously reductionist,

Yea except that it's been demonstrated over and over that unmitigated, unrestricted content can and does radicalize susceptible population demographics. No way around it, they have a responsibility to moderate and monitor.

By and large I think you're on point, especially with media portrayals. I think it's hard to conceptualize the bubbles that people live in until you experience it directly. People in various demographics have, quite literally, &qu

I did a double take when I saw that and realized the entire point of this piece was not to be informative or novel in the slightest.

It feels like, to me, that most of the comments in this thread that don't "get" serverless have never had to deal with things like maintaining the spaghetti mess of CM(Chef/Puppet/Ansible) that invariably results fr

Seems to me like an employee helping a customer out, on their own free-time, fostering goodwill and a good customer experience in the overall ecosystem... would be something Apple would want to encourage ? I agree something is missing.

I wonder if it's even useful anymore to consider mental models in the context of financial markets, even if it's just used as a metaphorical warning sign. I read an assertion recently that of all the "markets" in human c
