I honestly can't tell if your comment is sarcasm. Are you attributing the idea of free speech in social media to Musk? Like you think he came up with the idea?

This is a great resource. One thing to watch out for if you're using this to practice listening skills in a foreign language, is that not all regions seem to be tagged correctly. I clicked on Spanish, then the Mexico tag, and the top v

You joke, but after reading some texts from Musk and his social circle [1], I find it plausible that that is how some of these business decisions get made. [1] https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2022&#x

To your point here's a tweet from Stephen King that was making the rounds where he protests the idea that he should be paying Twitter instead of the reverse: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/158731251767987

If the argument is for minimalism, why use jQuery when vanilla JS suffices?

This is one of the problems with putting rich and successful people like Musk on a pedestal--it makes it seem like they can't make dumb, ego-driven mistakes. Irrational behavior gets interpreted as some 4D chess move that us mortals ca

The thing that baffles me is that this has been a known issue for a long time, and yet there doesn't seem to be any significant moves to improve this. Can someone please explain what Sundar Pichai's big goals as a CEO are? That&#x

I think what the parent commenter is referring to is Redfin’s (along with Zillow and others) practice of buying homes and flipping them. I thought they stopped that a while ago when they saw where the market was headed though.

As the article explains, he’s being accused of financial fraud, not because his crypto coin flopped.

While I appreciate the sentiment behind LatinX, my main issue with it is that it's mostly a distraction. I can't speak for women, but I imagine their top worries are things like the amount of violence against women [1] (at least i

As a Latino, I too am growing tired of the way some leadership and HR departments in tech callously, carelessly push and promote these diversity initiatives in a way that creates resentment. Combating racial bias is a sensitive topic. You&#

It feels like you're trying to flamebait rather than have a discussion about this. I encourage people to read comments on the other related thread [1] that seems to have disappeared from the front page for some reason. [1] Twilio cutti

W3 school's previous focus on SEO over accuracy is pretty well known. If you break your users' or audience's trust, it turns out that can have lasting impact.

OP, I didn’t grok the description of what you’re trying to build enough to have a useful suggestion for you, but as a word of caution you’re probably going to get a lot of responses that don’t take into account you’re specific situation but

I agree it probably made sense for Snap, but it is still a shame when a product people liked gets shut down when in a different context, their traction would have been considered a success.

Nothing wrong with having those aspirations, but sounds like the parent commenter has non-Big-Tech-sized problems he needs to solve now.

The last US President used Twitter as his primary way to communicate with the world. That on its own has serious security implications. I agree with you that we have landed in not a great place.

It’s sad that being against hate speech is considered modern, western and progressive. It seemed like the norm not too long ago.
