For $2B you could probably buy a nice village by the sea with great weather all year round. Having worked in downtown NYC, I'd pick a beach any day of the week. But I can see the value of a large marketing, finance and sales presence f

I agree the Web is messed up today thanks to big tech doing whatever they feel to defend their empires. But they will overstep (enough examples from the past) and when they do it creates the right kind of pressure for alternatives. Don&#x27

Didn't mean to offend your faith. I am talking about the way faith spreads and not about faith itself. People who need faith are very similar to people who need a job or an income. They are all suffering. That is the commonality. One w

Religion gets spread the same way. Some people benefit.

Fully agree. People who work in this space, need to spend time with Deaf or hard-of-hearing users to fully understand the day to day issues. Otherwise there is a plethora of 'cool' highly controlled demonstrated use cases that hav

You are talking as if people (whatever their status in the food chain maybe) currently without access to information are making fantastic decisions. What happens in reality is they fill in the blanks of missing info, based on their biases(e

Do you have better issues on which to win the largest amount of votes? People have no concept of how many different competing agendas exist in a country as large. Whatever issue you pick a large majority of the country is bothered about som

Find People and teams you want to work with internally first and interview with them. What is happening in the news has nothing to do with developing your own skills. That fully depends on the people you surround yourself with. And if you h

So would you allow me to chop up someone you have decided is unconscious? If the answer is no, why?

It will probably just get produced in China or Iceland or someplace. Putin must be already dedicating super computing time. Can't wait for the next election cycle.

Rockefeller, the Wright Brothers, Henry Ford, Edison, T.J Watson, Sam Walton, Bill Gates etc etc etc were are all on the cusp of ruling the world but then what happened? The story is never simple :)

This is a great overview. Some numbers from step 4 - size of data set, time to load index and space used on disk by that index+ES would be interesting to see. I have a feeling for small datasets postgres/mongo even sqlites FTS would pe

Don't blindly apply what works in the US to China. The difference in population/social structure and a hundred other things, result in different approaches. Just like a pride of lions surrounded by a herd of wildebeest work differ

Oh give me a break. Following this logic, why aren't you writing your code in English? The real world is complex. Don't confuse hiding complexity with minimizing complexity.

No great conspiracy here. Any mid to large org maintain such lists. If you fire someone who is wasting the orgs time, do you then want him to show up/get hired/be entertained by some group in the next building/next campus etc

Few people realize how unprepared parents/authority figures are, "to do the right thing". And that includes the characters who are educated and aware. God knows what's happening in households with unmonitored 24*7 sewag

My point is look at the outcomes - for him and for surveillance policy in general. He though he was reducing information asymmetry (which I was addressing in the comment abv).

Bias has its advantages. There is ample evidence of that too.

How do you tell if it's increasing Information corruption or reducing Information asymmetry? Nobody has an objectitive view. Glassdoor isn't going to come out and say they are producing negative population scale effects, just like

Well lets just wait for Nicholas Cage or Disney or whoever to react. I'd be surprised if Mr. Deepfake doesn't speed the rest of his life dealing with lawyers if this goes anywhere.

Sound like getting on a hamster wheel for no great purpose. Once you have cash in the bank you don't have to do this shit unless you are a silicon valley CEO trapped in his own hubris. I follow my grandpops's example who lived to

It's a dumb quote. People who don't have something mentally or physically to work on till they die loose their minds and bodies in a slow painful process. You can have all the money in the world, but if you have nothing to work on

I don't know how many people need the 'micro dopamine high' to contribute and engage. If that number is high engagement might drop off as they may go elsewhere to get the fix.

Agree. Delay showing pts for a few days maybe the other option. The points do help in surfacing articles and comments. Nobody needs to see them instantly.
