I'd love to hear a Facebook critic rebut this thread re: the article: https://twitter.com/_mades/status/1075228269845336064 What this seems to boil down to is a side channel for certain partners with looser t

Meh. I don't buy it. First of all, individual boycotts will never, ever overcome a collective action problem, so a fundamentally futile solution is being proposed here. Plus, this is only bad if Google act destructively evil and no one

Yeah it's odd that Green Apple Smirnoff Ice can continue to exist and yet flavored JUUL is banned.

It's not really a 'principle'; I was genuinely curious, not trying to make a point. I like electric scooters, actually. But it does seem strange that suddenly there's an expectation that things can just be left on the si

I mean, you could have said the same about blacks in the decades between emancipation and the civil rights movement. Certainly, there were some people who took advantage of those arbitrage opportunities to some extent. But in the case of an

I wish the downvoters would explain why you're wrong instead. Under what legal theory can Bird file charges against someone who takes what they've left unsecured sitting on a sidewalk?

As an "active investor" your competition is HFT algos on servers located as physically close as possible to the stock market in order to achieve superhuman reflexes. Which you have absolutely zero hope of beating. I'd rather

Great powers historically have not usually been the largest countries population-wise. That would seem to indicate that there's no reason we should expect the inevitability of all else becoming equal.

As bad as the US is in many different ways, China is immeasurably worse. A future dominated by a hegemonic China would be a dark world. Little steps like these are helping to contribute to that possibility in 50-100 years.

There's nothing like putting Circular side-by-side with a handful of its imitators to demonstrate how much tighter, sharper, and better-balanced Circular is than any of them.

You can tell how old a service is by its name. Most of the old ones have cutesy in-joke names. Most of the new ones are named exactly for what they do. They realized having 400 cutesy joke names was exhausting.

>My sort of crazy theory is that there is a behind the scenes lobbying / media battle between pharma, the hospital lobby, and the insurance lobby and that this dictates a lot of the national conversation around healthcare. Of course

A counterpoint might be that binding private enterprise by strict liability rules might coerce it to be extra cautious not to cut corners that lead to fires -- as opposed to a state owned company which might have less to fear from lax pract

This exactly is what's likely to happen. Note also: PG&E is already being sued for allegedly causing last fall's devastating fires in northern California. That plus damages for this year's fires is very likely to force th

Does anyone see a path to Snap continuing to exist 10 years from now? I just don't see what they bring to the table that can possibly keep them afloat much longer.

Yes, of course, they can. But what you're suggesting is they'll do that absent tax breaks, which suggests cost of a location is a primary factor in HQ openings, which seems obviously wrong given the choice of NY/DC. And it&#x

The problem here seems to be twofold: ambiguous policies, and little care for transparency and communication. On the policies side: Upwork doesn't seem to have real written rules in place on at what point too many jobs for one company

This is absolutely a clickbait title. A better one would be something like "Landmark Study On Fish Oil and Vitamin D Shows Fish Oil Reduces Heart Attacks, But Few Other Benefits"
