I don't think that's the best interpretation of complement. Think of complement as "is your users experience benefited by the existence of the other thing". I think that Search qualifies as something that enhances the Fa

G+'s implementation kind of broke communities though? Each individual having their own personal view of their circles meant that you couldn't reliably know which of your friends had seen the stuff your reading. That makes it reall

I think it's kind of worse than that. It's not an education problem. People are intentionally using this stuff to talk publicly about an issue. They just don't like the consequences of that.

You can't really make that either though. Facebook itself can see everything. As soon as you federate that all the admins can see everything and nothing is private. You could try and encrypt it down to the user level but a person added

I don't understand how a license is supposed to prevent people from doing bad things with your content. Does the not-so-nice guy in Russia care that he's infringing on your license? I think Mastodon makes the correct call (everyth

Is there a standard or something for how this kind of meta data could be kept on articles / papers?

"Most of us are here to get work done and earn a living" Miss-aligned goals do create all kinds of problems, don't they?

I'd go a step further and say don't work for people who are clearly liars.

I think you've missed the point. These people are pretty close to thieves. There isn't an amount of communication strategy that would have changed the unspoken willingness to take the client's money knowing they were lying to

What's with the default to "if it's not explicitly legal, it must be illegal"? Imagine if every new piece of software your wrote had to be tested for legality because you don't know that it's explicitly legal.

Captive? At what point does personal accountability matter? Everyone's choosing to be there and look at this stuff.

It is still their fault. Personal accountability is the only thing that can improve a situation. At all levels.

Yes, but the takeaway isn't that they should start making bold moves, it's that we actually want them to churn out and be surpassed over time. It's the entrenching of them through regulatory capture or predatory behaviour tha

The law of large numbers. Nothing other than the core ad products makes a difference to Google. The next biggest "successes" are just things that build a moat around the core ad product. What's embarrassing is that they keep

This framing is unhelpful. You haven't been wronged by “corporate America”. That's not even a thing that could have wronged you. You've worked for or with people behaving badly. Did you call them out on it? If nobody calls th

The “if we just go back to the old app” theory ignores half the problem. People learn how to be good at instagram and how to use it to their advantage over time. To pretend that Facebook is the only party extracting value is wrong. People (

Why do you signal out “targeted” advertising? Would it be a different story if they advertising was not targeted? I think it would probably be an even worse junk land.

My (albeit limited) experience with companies like this is that their interview process is far more hurtful than helpful. The processes are so long and so narrow that I can't see how it wouldn't be more effective to just say &quot

I’m sure there’s no chance of corruption becoming an issue within a single all powerful entity.

They’re not selling you code. They’re selling you an engine that helps you find the right free code at the right time. If you read free code yourself it’s fine, but if a machine does it for you it’s not? We overvalue humans.

He said: "My offer was based on Twitter’s SEC filings being accurate." Which is a valid statement, SEC filings are _required_ to be accurate. And you've interpreted: "Producing that evidence is not a contingency in the

Are you using this Tweet as your source? Because that's not what he said. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1526465624326782976

1. Given Jack's level of support for Elon, does anyone think he doesn't already know _exactly_ where the skeletons are buried? 2. It seems entirely unreasonable to assume that Elon doesn't want to own Twitter, or that he trie

Occom's Razor says he's just saying what he thinks when asked questions, which given his behavior on Twitter is entirely normal.

It's been speculated. What if there's nothing to read between the lines here and he's just saying what he thinks?
