Limiting this conference to the name Kate is extremely Eurocentric. and I don't see a single black attendee.

I've tried designing "games" on Twitter, but limitations of the format and low API limits constrained the design in lousy ways. Instagram has slightly more potential in this area, but neither is well-suited to it (I'm su

They filter lots of stuff in their autocomplete, people have observed for years that "embarrassing" questions work for a while, then disappear. You used to be able to measure how many people "wondered" if a particular ce

>t would be perfectly reasonable for Facebook to have an editorial position on the stories. No it wouldn't, Facebook is nearly ubiquitous. It would have far too much control over dialogue.

I guess everybody forgot the "what is Facebook's responsibility to stop a Donald Trump presidency?" internal messageboard question.

All this proves is that the distinction between government and private entity suppression of speech (see: that moronic XKCD cartoon) is a bullshit distinction when your communications mediums are owned by megacorps.

Maybe this happens when your hiring process selects against ideological diversity.

Maybe your clock is wrong, maybe they're man in the middling the connection for network surveillance reasons.

Keep it up. Twitter sucks because it's filled with assholes and every single day it's harder to deny the format encourages it.

Tax breaks in exchange for bringing jobs to a community? I'm sure government largess focuses into the equation. "Free market", haha. Programs originally meant to help people tying them to pyramid-construction projects.

Whoever is downvoting honest answers, stop it. I stopped using Twitter because its design encourages people to be snarky and mean and thoughtless, and over time this has been proven again and again.

I don't know how to describe it, but his style is...vintage. More like when I read old books. I'm particularly suited for this writing style and I interpret it fine. People frequently make the same complaints about the way I speak

Nah, for me it's an admission that some things are now harder or impossible to reverse course on. You can't reverse time, and making dramatic changes to your life after you're settled with people depending on you has the pote

It worked for me in my 20's, but I think if I tried it again in my late 30's, it might make things worse. Mushrooms don't let you hide problems from yourself.

Rush Limbaugh used to say that talk radio didn't need "equal time" protection, because talk radio was "equal time" to the entire rest of the newsmedia. And, having grown up in the 80's, I think he was right.

There are ways to do it, and it is done regularly. If you have a badtruth that you want to share, you don't put it in the main article. You put it in a related article where it mentions the subject tangentially. It can fly under the ra

I have a little bit of code similar to yours for comments, I just wrote some glue to require Google or Facebook authentication through AWS Cognito to make comments. Some people will hate that, but it worked.

It is an intellectually intolerant ideology, that is the beginning and the end of the explanation of it. It crosses all classes and demographic groups, it thinks it is right and everyone else is wrong, and if you're that sure of someth

Context matters too, I suspect some of those works when commissioned were meant to be enjoyed semi-privately, in someone's mansion or palace. Now they're placed in a public building behind people being photographed.
