I am quite surprised Sheryl Sandberg all but disappeared in the past few months from these discussions.

By now it's pretty clear, to me at least, that Zuckerberg simply doesn't get it. He could have fixed the issues for over a decade. And even in 2019, after all the evidence of mismanagement and public distrust, he still refuses to

What I find most interesting about the influx of Chinese money is that many Chinese communities across North America were built by people who fled China and its communist regime. One can argue that the beginning of the current Vancouver hou

I just don’t see how Uber and Lyft survive past autonomous vehicles going mainstream over the next two decades.

I would go one step further and say we are less than a year away from a global meltdown.

I understand what you mean but you still have to raise your child irl. What is very interesting is that most adults with children in this decade have experienced both worlds and perhaps become too immersed in this new “virtual” environment.

The sense of community is gone. And it really takes a village to raise a child but that’s disappeared in the US outside of small rural communities.

I highly recommend Celeste Headlee’s We Need To Talk. A good audiobook as well.

What’s missing in this discussion is how much marketing and ad dollars figure into pricing of goods especially among goods that are hard to differentiate. Instead of thinking how much cheaper Kirkland (and other private labels) is compared

This is basically the cable TV model for the modern age, no?

They need to overhaul the industry and it must start with how the FDA approves new and old drugs. For example, drugs should have hard expiry regardless of patent claims. No more generic exclusivities. More importantly, scrap biosimilars and

Exactly this. However, it is still possible to create a virtual decentralized network on top of a federated/centralized network.

As a parent of two kids I have strong feelings and opinions regarding this matter. To be fair, there are a few responsible content creators. Jangbricks is one good example and he’s well aware that his audience is largely made up of kids. Bu

Wall Street’s Love Affair with Financial Alchemy. Modern finance, particularly how we define risk (and volatility), is deeply flawed.

Fair enough and I do want to see services like this and the developments from solving these difficult problems.

Agreed. Enthusiast gamers fret/obsess over a small difference in FPS, refresh rate and lag especially when it comes to competitive gaming. Until Google can deliver a service that is indistinguishable, it’s DOA in my view.

All valid points. I understand because I lived in NYC for most of my life but it’s become really congested in the past decade. Sure, there are still conveniences of living in Manhattan but some of that can now be experienced in smaller citi

I’d argue that cities will shrink over time. It’s going to become easier for people to live in rural areas. I don’t think there is some magic formula to manage the inevitable congestion (not just traffic). Edit: It’d also be interesting to

That is very cool. I was thinking something more macro where you can see the expected outcome based on different aspects of game strategies such as pace, mix of plays, etc.

I’d be interested in seeing something like this to create winning game strategies that coaches can utilize.

Just curious to see if there are any sort of government or private ‘Day 0’ instructions out there to help rebuild the world or to preserve human knowledge in case of apocalypse?

I really don’t see this as an issue of censorship but protecting rights. These are not footages from public places. Churches, mosques and other places of worship are not public places for the most part. In addition, Facebook is a commercial

Well if we want to go down that road, the event was in a private place of worship and not a public landmark. And from my understanding (I don’t know since I refuse to and didn’t watch the video) there were minors in the footage. Last but no

80% of the content being blocked is effectively 0% of it being blocked. That’s not something to be commended. And you’re right. AI is nowhere near reliable yet companies such as FB rely on them.

by bitxbit 8y ago
That’s not logical at all. What if any of the victims in the video didn’t want the video to be disseminated? Who are you to stand in the way of their wishes and rights? So we are OK with corporate cease and desist letters on youtube but whe

It’s exactly why he/she is pushing for it. Because they can now hide behind the wall that is privacy. People can do whatever they want behind that wall and Facebook can and will not care to monitor any activity. This is their way of co
