There could be a middle ground where videos have limited visibility until getting vetted, or a karma system to fast track regular uploaders etc. I think there’s a ton of ideas to be tried.

I'd see them as a cause of traffic accidents/injuries by distraction. Just as being drunk in public is already a finable offence I think, as is causing disagreements on the public space.

Currently neighbours can and do call the cops on elderly people that keep their license but are clearly not able to drive anymore. The outcome is usually the elderly voluntarily returning their license under severe social pressure, or getti

Interestingly enough, Dropbox is/was popular on iOS because of being the closest thing to a filesystem. With iOS13 this also erodes, but going against the trend was beneficial for them up to this point.

I am not sure finding acceptable answers in confusing and complex situations needs to be the role of a leader. For instance in some orgs being a system architect has no hierarchical implications. People who are recognised to be good at desi

An issue with that approach is you end up with leaders forced to approve/champion proposals they don't have enough expertise to fully grasp. The 'designated' part is a blessing and a curse, I understand trying different

As I read it, the point of the article is to explain how you deal with decisions when the "captain" can be anyone in a group, and not some designated hierarchical leader. It's not democracy per se: for instance a designer can

Good point. Other notable companies are Sony, they still have CMOS sensor factories in Japan and will try to keep most of the “secret sauce” in the country, and Samsung who also has founderies in Korea if I’m not mistaken. Even them will so

The frame of reference matters. In Paris at least Wework offices are relatively clean, well managed, and modern compared to most offices. But compared to a decent traditional office, they are: - noisy (always someone phoning while walking a

There’s a bunch of internatonal companies using wework apparently. My guess would be the same as yours: nice location in the cities, modern looking offices, the brand value, and not having to find a good office manager. I worked in a recent

I think what happened 200 years ago is still relevant to the present (heck, 200 years ago we were full steam into colonialism and slavery, and no one would argue it has no lasting consequences anymore) But my argument is not about distant p

If we are taking a historical view, the US went through the whole cold war and came out as the winner after decades of spying, propaganda, meddling here and there, anything that could give an advantage. All these mechanics are still there,

It’s a very good point. I think you are right that it will be an issue in the long term if things stay the same. Somewhere I hope this forces the other players in the field to react, to avoid Apple getting too much power. I don’t see anyone

It really comes down to personal views, and as anything it can be very complicated very fast. That's in my opinion the very reason divorce go through trial, as everyone has a different opinion on what the question is. For instance if y

From the French law, if you are ready to raise a kid in your marriage, it shouldn't matter if it's your genetically or not. Sure people have a myriad of views on how family works, but that's the frame of law.

I agree with you when it comes to fields like mathematics, physics where knowledge is basically cumulative and a basic understanding goes a long way. Then for instance Freud is still studied in philosophical classes, history as we learn it

Thinking about this a lot, university at the end of a school cursus to develop “human capital” seems a not so great idea. People live close to 70 years, and the world changes a lot. So many things that we took for granted 10 years ago are

Ruby allows optimisations in C for critical parts. In that sense I'd pin gitlab issues less on the language or framework, and more on a lack of resource to cover the weaker points. I say that having seen a ton of PHP code base that is

Kubernetes is a reaction to that state of closeness, and was explicitely designed to bring Google’s philosophy (Borg) to the world. Its strong focus on getting outside people involved is the core reason of its existence, so it’s a bit of a
