Haha, it is pretty awful, but they seem like they're getting a little traction at least. So, hopefully serves to make it catchy and memorable. It can happen. I remember plenty of people thought "Twitter" and "tweets&quot

Ahh, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying! Makes sense then - I think I misinterpreted something in the article.

Isn't the mindset in medicine totally different from software engineering as far as being self-taught? I'm surprised that they don't think jobs want you to have a degree from an accredited school vs a bootcamp. Or that lambda

Not sure I buy that a key ratio is MAU/DAU, and even if it is ... the big problem for Facebook is that it's gone from 66.3 to 65.7 in two years while both numbers are growing? The fact that they started grouping FB/Insta&#x2F

This is a more interesting suggestion/theory than the article. That would be a cool development. I'm not sure what the Atlantic is talking about. The Instagram aesthetic is literally everywhere you look in restaurants, cafes, etc

Musk is a proven liar at this point. It's like when Trump says Mexico will pay for the wall. It's newsworthy sure... but basically zero informational value in it or basis in fact.

I agree, it is more fun to share in person. I do this with most trip pictures and family.

Who cares? Musk is so full of shit.

Rails is effective, boring, productive, and widely used. What kinds of things are you interested in building? If you're learning to code to get a web development job, I would lean towards starting with learning Javascript, then buildin

Seem like as good a starting point for a discussion as anything, although you have to wonder what set of policies the Facebook-is-literally-cancer crowd would actually be happy with. As summarized by the BBC, calling for the following thing

It's so bad that they call this feature "Autopilot". Taking a page out of the AT&T 5G Evolution playbook I guess.

This article doesn't spell anything out very well. The anti-facebook audience is very engaged .. so it's a profitable topic to publish content on, and media companies like NY Times directly compete with Facebook for advertising sp

That's true, it would be weird not to coordinate at some level for a single paper, and I could have said "Coordinated by the NYTimes" which is what I meant. I don't think it's irrelevant. The NYTimes is a competitor
