Could also be the advantage of a unified market helps US startups scale faster, maybe someone else can speak to that better. Its been influential where Ive worked, at least. I also think at least US tech has significantly larger firms, but

Would be nice, but I think since (a-e) weren't in that line and that (g) is directly addressing that, that would be incredibly bad wording. Regardless, I can imagine there are some products with 'essential functions' which re

I'm poorly informed regarding breakups of this kind, and I don't have the experience/research to assess the infra costs of a streaming service like Prime video. Assuming the hosting costs are a significant portion of their ex

"Those MLM videos dont represent real startup/tech culture" For the record, I agree with you.

It reminds me of how narrow roads are sometimes used to slow traffic, though I dont know if its effective here. Im hesitant to discourage it when the language is so explicit about it being bad, it might be quite effective afaict

I get you, just following orders, I earnestly empathize. I wonder how powerless software people really are in this context, how much effective oversight others have over us in these matters, where there's sometimes a significant human

Is running untrusted programs in a VM actually safe? Are they sufficiently secure that it's not trivial to escape one if that's the expected scenario?

How can fact checking be better facilitated as tech develops? It seems like a distinct social issue to me, one that I imagine requires verification from people with reputation (which could be aided by improved social networks probably). Id

"Everyone should embrace escapism to feel good, not to not feel like shit." Im also a bit lost regarding its value

Its nice to attempt to define positive vs negative escapism, I wonder how solid their definition is. If someone has anxiety and they run because it brings relief, their definition would seemingly classify that as maladaptive escapism, or se

Does it not? Try framing it more charitably. Someone suffers or will suffer or simply misses out on something you know theyd greatly appreciate because of their behaviour, if you love them will you ignore it? Or will you, while showing resp

Why is sibling black_'s comment dead when they just provided an anecdote backing the parent comment? Or is the 1% talk controversial here?

That didn't seem to be the implication. Carmacks name carries weight, and we're talking about navigating beurocracy and politics. My own thoughts and opinions tell me that they don't matter in those two domains

I'm still super into this as it is, without considering real growth on the tech side. It's dumb but I think it's still useful. It'll be crazy when it replaces us but for the moment I've been using it to learn and ex

Maybe youre right about them pursuing engagement for its own sake, maybe they're not in that game. Though, whatever approach you have in discovery, or ranking posts, you're having an impact on your users, and promote a certain dyn
