Not saying it should be attributed solely to that, but having a marketing message that your main competitor (Android) cannot repeat or rephrase with a serious face is one heck of an advantage to have. Just remember PC vs Mac ads and all tho

If I ignore him, I don’t have information to formulate a view point about him therefore its a suggestion to shut up and censor me. I thought Rogan espouses differing points of view, what’s going? Or only when you support him unconditionally

Multiple (horrible) events through history can provide the insight that as long as you partition each task enough, people will happily work and contribute to a horrible end goal and later claim they were only following orders and had no ide

Freedom of speech is the right to not be persecuted/sued/shut-down/jailed by the government. Emphasis on government. It's a free market place of ideas, you are allowed to say anything but you are also allowed to suffer t

I like him, I'm supporting his idea of giving anyone the right to express their ideas. Therefore, I'm interested in the people that also have their concerns about his shows and Spotify's business decisions and they must be he

One thing is free speech and another is giving a platform to dubious characters for them to promote their views unchallenged. What's the risk? you might be smart enough to know better but other's will use Rogan's vouching of

In NY if you buy clothing items less than $100, they are tax free. If you buy 3 items of $50 each on the same ticket, you pay no tax. Using the same technology (already deployed in tons of stores), you could add rules per ranges and at leas

You don't have that equivalent signal, that's what matters. i.e. Twitter doesn't know if you even finished reading the tweet which is what is providing a strong signal in the case of TikTok, skipped vs watched once vs watched

Your thesis seems to be, right now things are good therefore at no point in the future will a 'bad actor' government make Facebook comply and facilitate whatever they need to fulfill their goals. Matter fact, there could be a long

Try out Parsec library in Haskell ( http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/using-parsec.html ). If you are familiar with parsing in general you'll see benefits immediately. Also FP tends to promote composition over i

I'm familiar with those controversies, and most if not all of them I would side with the Elm team. The thing is that, yes it is nice to get user-driven development but they seemed to be proposing to bring back concepts from their OO ex

Huh? CA worked with Palantir. Both Facebook and Palantir are connected via board member Peter Thiel. They are in the same boat, no competition at all.

If it's genuine this is part of the reason the money earned goes to the floor. Since there's always a lot of people jumping in the service to provide 'supply' that lowers earnings for those that use these services as the

The problem you mention at the end is not exactly a problem, you were working more for the same salary (a self inflicted salary reduction). That might help you rationalize it, calculate how much you earn per actual hour worked and try to ge

What PR company is recommending this recipe? So much symmetry, but yes basic PR management: always control the conversation first. "Google’s Sundar Pichai: Privacy Should Not Be a Luxury Good" [1] "I Am the C.E.O. of Uber. Gi

It's a fallacy to jump from saying 'obese politicians are corrupt' and then saying 'all obese people are corrupt'. Might as well say 'all obese people are corrupt politicans'.

Not sure how people are misreading the comment, but in an alternate world NASA would still have the capability to sell this same service to DoD. Since that's not the case, this void has been filled by private companies. Given that info

I would assume contraceptives methods make it easier to break the pattern, since you are still technically physically doing the act of reproducing but the cycle or incentive is broken since there is no offspring.

It's interesting seeing how humans are deciding to forgo one of the most innate patterns of life itself, passing their own genes via these phenomenons. It's almost as if it's a 'invisible hand' regulating the popula

It's interesting to see how NASA has been slowly being privatized via these contracts. People used to be rooting for NASA and now they are rooting for a company that at the end of the day, will do as they please with the technology dev

I'm also out of the loop, there were tons of social media companies before Facebook so no creation of something new and disruptive. The comment you are responding to reads to me as survivor-ship fallacy of whatever social media company

That and the fact that the financials that look good come from a single faucet (around ~90 percent was ads last time I checked). Sounds like a "conventional company" with a strong cash cow.

This is scary to think about given that you need rare earth elements to build those chips powering all those machines. Makes sense why some countries are ensuring to have a supply on this in the long term, feels like the new oil.
