There is a lot implied in this article. Right from the word "quietly" in the title, we're clearly supposed to believe that something sinister is going on, but the article doesn't connect the dots on any sort of quid pro

I just started re-reading "The First Three Minutes". Dr. Weinberg had a gift for taking incredibly complex and esoteric science and not only making it accessible, but making it a compelling story. Rest in Peace. Thank you for reig

I haven't seen Juul or its founder "celebrated" to any great extent in Silicon Valley. Is this a common sentiment?

Something doesn't add up about this. Is it possible that they're wearing the cameras for some other purpose? Like gathering data or sample footage for an AR project?

This just seems like a bad faith comment. Is there ANY example of a user raising a legitimate concern like this and getting banned for it? This reads like cheap, low-effort bashing.

I'm not sure what the implication here is, but regardless it doesn't seem to be true. According to this source, only 3 of the 10 "key people" are white and male. https://craft.co/alphabet/executives
