Other comments have brought additional evidence about declining wage mobility. I'll add that the article's stats about the impact of race demonstrate lack of mobility. Working while black seems to mean a 20% pay cut, regardless

There are good points here, but I'll present the other side. If you have MVP but no customers, funding, or employees, 98% of risk is still ahead. There are important, identity defining questions about the business ahead, from how you

The letter does bother me and I would have fired him, but I share some sympathy for having this blow up on a world stage. Is there any good timeline on how that happened? I'm pretty sure the leak (not the firing) is what made it nati

These valuations aren't necessarily just a bet on advertising as we know or imagine it. At least for FB and Google, the assets that give them power to direct attention to ads can potentially be monetized in other ways if ads stop bein

These are great examples of dark patterns, but the conclusion that designers should appoint themselves user representatives is dangerous and self-aggrandizing. Companies should be user focused... if your business or product metrics aren&#

Classic agent-based modelling fallacy: "I made an algorithm that replicates an observed distribution, so my description of the algorithm is a potential explanation for that distribution.". The fact that you could relabel the relev
