Net neutrality rules are about source/destination of traffic, not the type. ISPs are allowed to discriminate for/against traffic based on the type of traffic and it would be terrible to prevent them from implementing those kinds o

The first step is to actually start spending more money, specifically on grants for med students. One of the reasons we have to pay doctors so much is because they have so many loans to repay. I've been told that between med school and

ISPs actually serve two distinct functions that we should separate to get the best mixture of public private. Net neutrality laws are only necessary because we conflate these two functions, but there's no reason that both functions nee

My step dad was a roofer when I was growing up. He was the one that did the estimates and found the business and he had a crew of immigrants that did most of the work for him. They earned far above minimum wage. They made $15/hr, under

One thing to make clear about the Equifax breach is that it wasn't caused by a single security update that was never applied, as has been put forward by Equifax. It was caused by an insecure information architecture that let web front

I think some of it is about the optics as far as raising future rounds. If you're a founder that has built a company with a valuation over $1B, raised a number of rounds, but really only proved that customers like your product at a pri

Why "slightly" less? Even if it can't be sold, equity in early stage startups has an exact dollar amount attached to it. If one founder needs more salary it should be a simple calculation determine how much equity they should

I'd say instead that a PoC can be negatively affected by racism that isn't the result of a racist act by someone else. This is why it's so easy for people who don't experience it to minimize or otherwise feel that racism
