I have an adobe subscription, I never heard of Figma. I am sure their product is great, but it is a niche product. Figma is not worth 20B as a standalone company. Adobe will integrate Figma’s technology into Adobe’s suite of products and wi

dang, Paul Graham is British; has it factored into your decision of keeping the comments deferential to the Queen. My condolences to British people who held the Queen at high esteem. But frankly world is a bigger place than Britain and Amer

No one prevented Spiegel from buying Musical.ly and turning it to TikTok.

by ginger2016 4y ago
ok, fair. Spiegel came up with some new features for his app which people found interesting, and maybe even copied. That will make him an above average Product Manager, not a visionary leader in the caliber of Zuckerberg, Gates, Bezos, or t

India banning TikTok has really helped Instagram in India. Instagram is the top player for short form video there. India will give instagram a large user base to test out new features and keep their expansionist vision going for the rest of

Are they doing a buy back? Didn’t Steve Jobs say trading cash by buying back stock the worst idea ever?

Sorry to hear this; It is tough to lose jobs when there is a fear of recession. I hope everyone will land on their feet. The package seems to be generous, I am glad that Snap is considerate to people on visas.

TikTok and Instagram are the hip internet properties where young people share stuff. Snap Chat is essentially a dying service. Evan Spiegel is not a visionary like Zuckerberg, Gates, Bezos, Brin and Page. That said he is smart enough to run

I haven’t seen the film and don’t intent to watch it. It is it Russian Propaganda? I thought Oliver Stone is an American. No, we are not obligated to show Russian propaganda in network television.

I don’t consider stereotypes funny. America has a really bad history when it comes to shows propagating racial stereotypes. People finding a stereotype funny is not a good reason to air it on national television. Jim Crow was a stereotype w

Asian men historically have been desexualized. The show is relying on that stereotype. https://youtu.be/2k82hIqd1Os

Where Kunal Nayar grew is insignificant. Most of the soldiers who fought for British India were Indians themselves but that doesn’t mean the occupation of India was right. In the case of Indian soldiers it was in their personal monetary in

If you have watched the show and failed see why it is racist, then we need to give some anti-racist education. It is affirming the stereotype Indian males lack confidence with women. Raj can’t speak with women without the use of alcohol, th

Government censorship can look at lot like corporate censorship, remember Zuckerberg said Facebook limited the reach of the news story because FBI informed them something. I am sure this is probably not the first time American government “r

Given the racist protrayal of Indian American Raj Kuthrapalli, I am of the opinion Indians are magnanimous in allowing this show to be aired there.

I believe he starts of talking about Scandinavia in the 5 minute mark. I can’t find a transcript online, and I am not good at transcribing. I find him arguing out of prejudice against people of color, at-least that is what I got listening t

Thank you for the whole transcript. I find the whole transcript very problematic. Especially the “shared gods” and “shared blood” part, does Professor Haidt really think this country was held together by “shared blood”? Is he that ignorant

I am sorry, I can’t interpret someone pining for “shared gods” charitably. We are a secular country that welcomes all beliefs.

by ginger2016 4y ago
He claims traditionally a country is held together by “shared gods, shared blood, and shared enemies”. What is he saying, the issue is, this is a multi-faith, multi-ethnic country? I say, Professor Haidt, the train has left this station, Am
