Interesting that you're getting your point of view from a book by Bezos. Regardless, people don't hate Amazon because they're big. They hate Amazon because they feel empathetic towards the thousands of workers who complain ab

I think the kind of person that works at Amazon, after all that's been disclosed about worker conditions, is likely to be completely OK with this.

Social support networks have a cost. It's great to make more money until you go bankrupt from healthcare costs. Also, Europe enjoys lower crime and higher life expectancy.

I find it puzzling that someone would choose to embark on the paternity experience, but be very selective about what to experience. Life is not just what we like, and understanding that makes us more balanced individuals. One might think yo

I don't see how the US will get out of the current "corporations run everything of value" situation. Seems like all tools to help fight it are themselves owned by corporations in no hurry to change the status quo.

I guess Cambridge Analytica's collapse with no real consequence for people working there showed both that there's a huge market for this, and high reward with low risk.

Well it seems like this is a sensitive subject. I agree the title is baity but the subject matter is relevant - Apple's blunder, and more generally the overall state of software and the Web should be discussed. How are we, as an indust

Not a particular thing, but I believe existing OSs have too much baggage for truly mindset-shifting developments. And that's OK, no one wants to repurpose Linux to be something other than it is. But truly novel ideas would require some

We need a new UNIX-like moment in OS research. BeOS had interesting ideas in the 90s, but every single new OS now has to be "crippled" by POSIX to support *NIX, or else it has no critical mass to grow. I'd like to see a MIT-l

This is some Olympics-level mental gymnastics. Have you considered most of these people don't _want_ to be sleeping outside and only do so because circumstances drove them to? Like maybe going bankrupt from healthcare, or some other re

This is very sad, but other than donating to the Internet Archive what can we do? Feels like we'll know more about certain periods of the Byzantine Empire than 1996 online culture in the near future.

Yes, I'd love an FPGA device that can simulate a 68060 with an MMU! Or just an affordable way to run AmigaOS 4.1 on PowerPC :|
