Exactly. Rich people literally put the dynamite in these people’s hands. That is the only plausible and widely accepted explanation for inequality, and kudos to you for advancing it.

I'm probably right in the middle on the introvert/extrovert scale, so it's been mostly nice, but how isolated I'll feel will depend on the org I'm working in. More video with more people? More 1 on 1s with other rem

True. I think that a lot of folks think racism will end if those people just stop being openly racist, though, which is silly.

Fortunately, we are armed with radical social justice tools like "empiricism," and are capable of noticing that some outcomes really do look like racism in action. Maybe you don't understand the meaning of the word? "Thi

Is it racist to suggest that being called a racist is worse than living under the effects of racism? Probably, yeah. Are you a racist? I don't know; I'd assume not. But I think you're right: calling people racist isn't s

You don't have to be thinking "these policies will keep black people down" to enact policies have the exact same effect. And it doesn't make you, in legal and moral terms, any less culpable for causing those effects, eve

Is it mindblowing how readable the recipe is despite it being 311 years old. Turns out we knew what beef suet was back then!

We care so much about design because all the thousands of hours we've collectively wasted being confused by Reddit and Craigslist's interfaces could have been much better spent elsewhere. Why improve anything? Because by doing so,

Whoa I really like this! It's almost like Hacker Newsletter in brevity. Is it open source?

I just remember the overwhelm: opening up Google Reader and forgetting what I went there to do because there were so many unread things. I don’t think this is endemic to a protocol, but the social filter on top of content is how I find most

I feel like my original answer ended up playing to that tendency to undervalue design here. Which ain't great. I guess my point was that it's super easy to look at a design and feel like it looks great and miss the fact that desig

I feel like most of the time, pricing decisions involve a lot of information and it feels like a digression to have it all on one page. For simple apps and pricing structures, it's doable — my Rdio-to-Spotify app was $5, and said so up

I think I agree with you overall — there's no way to perform this task perfectly for all time in such a way that it makes this problem disappear. But I want to push back against the specifics of your argument, namely about the cost and

Also, how hard is it really to get a sense for the quality of a search and the irrelevance of its results for the vast majority of people? Given how much demographic data Google pulls in from your history, it seems to be not super hard to n

I really appreciate the point: as much as the content of what's on google has nothing to do with google, the prioritization of search results is on them. Whether it's hard or not to avoid perpetuating stereotypes doesn't seem

I'm building a mobile app that's a bit like the anti-Instagram. It gives you confusing set of shutter/filter options that post weird, uneditable and uncanny photos to a feed whose sole mode of interaction is scrolling and dra

They didn't have an enterprise division until about a year and a bit ago, so I think it's more accurate to say that they found a channel that normally only works for low-touch SaaS, but for a product and business model that can ch

I don't think you're the only one. I think that, outside of being careful to not be caught, it's pretty okay. The only real thing I'd caution is that it's especially soul deadening to be in a job that legitimately u
