The IPO isn't a guaranteed thing, look at WeWork. Further, an IPO isn't immediate. This nonsense took people from millionaires to "I don't know, let's Let The Market Decide (but not any relevant participants, only

Luckily, your culture will die eventually through your youths anyway. It won't be this generation. It may not be the next. But there will come a day where everything you value within your own culture is gone. The accents will fade and

"Isn't slashing ten billion dollars in market value a good thing for the people we are taking the money away from?" Be honest, at least. It's terrible for the employees. They went from having a guaranteed payday to gambl

I think that you're actually the one who disagrees with Gerv; as he notes in his writings, a society where all views are seen as equally correct is bad. It's not wrong to draw a line and say, "This person is wrong about thi

"We're using your personal conversations for training data. Thanks." This is acceptable. Consumers click without reading, and don't have any strong organizational ability to punish Google for this. "We're train

Despite having been fairly critical of the Foundation elsewhere in this thread, I have to point out that this comment is wrong. Josh is full-time employed by the Foundation, without another job. It does seem pretty odd that they presented t

They could black it out, or put an alternative image over it. This is common practice when someone has a tattoo they don't want, or can't keep.

Bandcamp Fridays gave (and presently, still give) 100% of Bandcamp's cut to the artists. Any "replacement" platform that doesn't have it will mean the artists get less money, which gets in the way of the music. As some

Honestly, it's probably just small talk. Normal people tend to try to have opinions on things to signal worldliness to other people. It's akin to when a coworker mentions hating a teenage pop star, or a sport. The vast majority of

Meth is historically misclassified, too. Why are we drawing the line at marijuana? If we lower the scheduling of opioids to Schedule IV, fentanyl usage in the United States would drop almost entirely within a month. Importing clean prescrip
