Stripe probably has better lawyers with more experience dealing with payments than the publisher. They might even be the same lawyers Substack has since they're both YC companies.

At the risk of self-promotion, I found some cause for empathy for the crusader types when writing about the subject: "They’re mostly people whose elders, the people who might guide them to a fierce but strategic advocacy, were murdered

I don't think anyone escapes some kind of discrimination in such a deeply toxic society. It's maybe less obvious for cis, straight, white, and otherwise Default people, but it does happen. The material effects are usually not as s

It's always the loudest few. I've read takes from conservatives in favor of BLM, racial justice, queer rights, etc from conservative principles. The "conservatives" who go feral over any queer representation in media o

I've met way too many people who confuse a map of policing for a map of crime, and I believe SimCity's crime map and the game's widespread use in education shares some responsibility.

SimCity itself was based on some questionable ideas about city planning. Polygon did a video and article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_51_YJQpeg0 https://www.polygon.com/videos/2021/4/1&#x

I don't think Google has yet realized Microsoft is going after their backend and B2B/enterprise customers (365[Azure, Teams, Office]), while Apple is going after all their frontend customers[2]. Google still acts like it's 20

Google's beta in production strategy worked great when they were turning whole categories on their heads. I'm not sure it still works for them given the reputational damage. They're creating an in for more focused upstarts to

Opening up a Linux tab in the open source Windows Terminal from Microsoft would have seemed like dark magic to someone in the '90s. Or maybe I am a witch...

All the top music here in the US traces its roots around the world several times. You don't get today's top charts without someone messing around with a sampler from Japan in Europe in the '80s.

There's probably a better way to frame this in a context where journalists are increasingly under attack just for doing their jobs. https://cpj.org/2020/12/in-2020-u-s-journalists-faced-unprec...

I appreciate where he goes into what people latched on to and recontextualized. We shouldn't have to pre-parse everything we say and do for any possibly uncharitable read, but it can feel like it's necessary sometimes, and maybe o

Nope. Not saying anything of the sort. Your read is qualitative. My comment was quantitative , strongly implied by the math. If I were going to make a qualitative statement, I would say life sucks for almost everyone on this godawful plane

You're reading too much into what I said. Nothing in it suggests a lack of empathy. I made no qualitative statements beyond the bit about rich people needing to pay back into the system that made their wealth possible. There is absol

Better to hire a lawyer to verify that while in the well-paid job rather than later when the employer comes after the startup.

I think there's something like an inverse relationship between how many jobs are available and how much people need support. The US is actually among the top manufacturers still, but very little of it is still done by humans, so it doe

I think the newer version even opens Live projects with varying results. You'll obviously have to swap out any stuff that came with Live since even the samples only open with the right license.

The more I reduced my Twitter use, the more I realized how certain states of mind get stuck in it easily. The less anxious I got, the less concerned I was with missing out on online stuff, and the less I wanted to use Twitter obsessively.

I forget which podcast it was, but they had an interview with someone who survived one of these and wrote the book on them. I wish I could remember the podcast or the person's name, but the impression I got is these camps are completel
