The real mindfuck here isn't just that Japanese law allows the authorities to question you during detention (before being charged with anything), all day every day, with no attorney present. Nor is it that they can restrict access to t

“Facebook makes just a hair under $635,000 in profit for each of its 25,000 employees. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, makes about $158,000 per worker. (At Walmart, it’s $4,288.) These calculations often get spun as representing a victor

Because money trumps ethics in our society, and Facebook still looks like a good career move. But there will be a tipping point soon (next 12 months) when FB stock price begins to legit crash after another scandal finally breaks the camel&#

The depressurization metaphor is spot on. Here’s an 80m continuous mix I made a while back based on a similar philosophy, transitioning from sad/bittersweet to hopeful/energetic to peaceful: https://m.soundcloud.com&#x2

Lol. By all means, make fun of this strategy now, I do it myself, but you have to understand what it was like in silicon valley back in those days, 2010-2011. Facebook was the game in town, and these were the days when for the true believ

I can't argue with that. Plus it might make people question your "Not Facebook Employee" twitter tagline. Speaking of which, I saw a tweet that you're interviewing at Facebook this week. Is that true? Not that I would ev
