Journalists and users interpreted their research to be the company’s marketing direction and part of how they created their users’ experience, rather than data revealing mass user behavior. Blame the messenger, reaction. Also, revealing par

Prestige: Holy See, Bishop of Rome, Saint Peter’s Rock, old Emperor of Holy Roman Empire. Contacts of world leaders and decision makers at disposal. Doing pretty good but not as prestigious as the Pope: the tech working class.

Having minored in this, I’d put it in the category of “abstract framework” at the moment. Though perhaps that’s also due to my exposure more to theory and math, and less to application.

The “true” is a little sensationalist though I doubt they were expecting anyone to care about their investigations. They were still going for “a more true”. They’re not accounting for retired 65+ year olds. That’s a little suggestive of j

For a long time I thought the JS hate was just a friendly pop jab. From working with backend folks I’ve realized it comes from at least a somewhat patronizing view that JS should feel more like backend languages; except it’s power, and real

Yeah, there’ll be some suburbanization, but you’re right to point out that access to schools and belonging to similar-minded communities has sway. Besides the current trend to urbanize is on par with more Millenials reaching their 30s and s

Are you advocating against interracial unions? On an argument that mixing leads to less diversity over time, thus implying that mating with those those most like ourselves is more genetically desirable? Ever heard of blue blood, or the Hapb

What are 2 or 3 “right approaches” for improving diversity in tech? Unless, the view is that practices until now have been right? Cultural support for STEM comes through parents who themselves are capable of sitting at the dinner table to h

It is not the job of any executive branch organization to proactively need this data, nor even to have the gall to submit such a request. The argument of serving as alibis is so laughable; like, how ever did governments survive this long wi

It’s effectively a censure. Publish and money goes to US gov, or don’t publish in States thereby limiting your target market and lose a lot of sales.

That’s difficult when yes-man culture advances the velocity of desired features, and by extension happy boards. There is an often unspoken violence (to human expression) in conformity.

That’s a little like saying since the facts of how the people at Apple arrived at the original 30% disagree with your philosophical views on this matter, it seizes to be relevant. A personalized reality, with personalized facts. Alleged fac

The products are built to be addictive. How is that free-will and choice when you’re building something to pray on the weaknesses of human natural instincts? “Going viral” by promoting outrage and social destabilization, but rebranding it a

Calling that transparency is selfish to the business wants; the only context in which that word could be used without qualifying and asterisks. User transparency is choice - even the choice to do something that’s a little less than optimal

You’re interpreting too strong of a relationship between employment and inequality as if they were inverses of each other. Assume the rate at which top earners are accumulating wealth exceeds the rate of wealth accumulation for the poor. Th

Trust is based on shared information, therefore access to backdoors is reality of what’s at stake. This spectacle to inform the targeted populace on this one is just modern rallying around the flag. If there were a higher motive than the cu

Probably flux at first, and after some time an equilibrium. People get used to all kinds of things - change or die, for companies and careers alike. Worrying about this will be irrelevant after some time. Too much concern on this kind of su

This is mind blowing. Those docs are the gold standard for creating so much of the web. Does their management understand the gravitas (that word is warranted here) of what it means to lay-off parts of the team in charge of setting, keeping,

They’re protesting. Shocker. Not surprising, given their business model is built on taking advantage of their drivers working themselves and their vehicles into the bone. They did not design their company to equitably distribute the share o

This practice only works if companies keep paying male workers more, since essentially this is getting males to pay for those services keeping the lights on. The beneficiaries probably won’t complain since they pay less, but charging guys m
