Won't that defeat the purpose of why you chose to buy and live long term on the west coast to begin with?

Sounds interesting. Perhaps I shall open it in another tab for later reading.

Those factors all correlate with class...it doesn't need to be about race.

> But using race is a punitive factor to punish minorities that are "too successful", is pure racism. It would seem more "fair" to instead factor in your parents' income or education, or what kind of neighborhood

Facebook's goal was never community. Its original goal was to compare your life with your friends' lives (remember it was derived from Facemash). What you propose sounds like Nextdoor. Take the best features of Nextdoor along with

These employees are people who are pulled straight from college, given salaries higher than most of their contemporaries ever dreamed of earning, and are told they are special and are changing the world. Why wouldn't they be blindly lo

The analogy is still broken because the Facebook memo, although cold and calculating, is still blatantly sugarcoating what they do and why they do it. It's not about connecting people at heart, and they do it through much more nefariou

I keep hearing that analogy but it doesn't really hold water. Telephone companies don't coerce you into becoming an addict, manipulating their UIs so that you subconsciously associate their platforms with the words "friend&qu

For starters, gravitate towards fields that prioritize substance over style.

Then the focus should be on making it harder for liars to win.

This is a very cool idea—are you familiar with the BandsInTown app as well?

There's a possible win—people would have assumed he was sincere in his apology. Sure it would be bad for business, but perhaps some things are more important than business.

Others do it because it's cheaper than providing full-time salary+benefits. Average people don't really have the resources or connections to open a company.

What can the average person do about this system? It seems like it's only becoming more widespread.

Obviously well-being itself isn't what life is lived for. Relationships, meaning, community...some things seems inherently better than access to nature. These things seem obvious to most people I know, even if they aren't measurab

Your assertion that the poorly-educated/working-class don't care about integrity is incredibly condescending and ignorant.

I feel bad for Waymo and all the guys taking the necessary safety precautions. This is going to set the industry back quite a bit. Thanks Uber, and RIP Elaine.

That would be an example of caring more about advancing one's career than the deleterious effects your work has on individuals.

It's disingenuous to claim that employees of Facebook are being exploited as such. Factory workers maybe, but not a lucrative position at Menlo Park.

Yes you can. Doing the right thing at the expense of a comfortable lifestyle is a problem every generation has faced. Washing one's hands of responsibility in such a way is a rather lazy argument.

That explains the actions of (some of) Facebook's "rockstar" developers. That does not explain the actions of Facebook's data scientists, psychologists, product managers, and execs. Occam's razor - They knew, and pe
