My company uses Knowbe4, and I'm constantly frustrated how it considers it a fail if I only click a link vs entering in credentials. Sometimes it's tough to tell if something is phishing when your checking email on your phone. Doe

Obviously WFH doesn't work for everyone, but there seems to be evidence that it isn't true. E.g. A Stanford study found that it increased productivity for call center workers by 13% https://nbloom.people.stanford.edu&#x

The distinction about how sites like YouTube and Facebook amplify content is important. But moving away from the digital version, it would seem strange to me if Barnes and Noble became liable for having a big display for a book that defamed

That kind of goes to my question though. It seems that people are suggesting that by offering a process to flag & bury content and by employing moderators, HN becomes a publisher and therefore should be liable for our posts.

There is still the challenge of the context of "person X said Y" Were they saying it sarcastically? Were they quoting someone else? Does Y include the content said before or after? That can meaningfully change the "fact"

This chart feels a bit disingenuous given that Mozilla's form990s show Eich's salary tracking along basically the same line until his departure in 2014.

Municipal options would be interesting, but I guess I feel like given how long we've subsidized private car ownership in North America it's fine if we subsidize scooter companies (or scooter owning individuals) instead. In the end

There definitely needs to be infrastructure changes to catch up with the new technology, but as you've highlighted we've allocated valuable space to car parking spots instead of bike/scooters. For dense urban areas it probabl

It would be interesting if a service existed where you could mark ads as "watched" to stop seeing them anymore. On the other hand, advertisers seem to believe they need to keep advertising to consumers who already know their produ
