Well said. You’re also describing a fundamental tension between capitalism and socialism.

I'm there exactly with you. I could've written this comment myself. Love hooks so much. Excellent abstraction. edit: i guess i'm just supposed to upvote and move on but i'm enthusiastic about this topic :)

Mods is it ok that this user ONLY posts links from paywalled sloanreview.mit.edu links? Seems like spam to me. They never comment, they only post every article from that website.

First, thanks for offering, I appreciate that! But no, I think for the most part it was pretty benign. It looks like they were planning on doing some kind of maybe SEO gaming or something using my de.licio.us clone I made almost a decade ag

Oh gosh I have a project I should check on. If I can find the credentials... edit: oh no.

I don't know the answer and won't bore you by trying to make one up on the fly. I'll just say this is a novel challenge to human society and requires a novel approach to corporate governance & accountability. What we&#x27

What blows my mind about what you're describing is how ill-equipped society was for Facebook, and how laughable it is that Mark Zuckerberg is in charge of reconciling Facebook and society, for the very reasons you're talking about

Well this is, as far as I can tell, an intractable problem with automotive because of the nature of the whole market, from OEMs to dealerships & dealership groups to consumers. Dealerships live and breathe leads. People renting cars def

I see. How do you plan on turning Carve customers into leads for the dealership, to drive traditional car sales? (disclaimer: I work in automotive, and very closely with dealers)

by modwest 7y ago
Doesn't this burden the dealership's service revenue? They have to pay to maintain this fleet of rentals, which is going to be resource pressure for their service departments.

Does your company, or do any in the field, support policies for retraining/job placement for employees displaced by their technology?

Yeah, I understand all that going in to the article. I have, let's call it, an advanced beginner's understanding of neuroscience & evolutionary biology. It was just an extremely long article, in my personal opinion, for "

Yeah, exactly the info I was looking for. "They're different" is like half the story. How do they work?

This article is deeply unsatisfying. Too much fluff for a very basic point: ctenophores are different kinds of organisms than we’ve come to expect. That’s it. “Different” appears 24 times in the article, almost every single instance of whic

I think geogra4's tone was of a kind with the post to which he was responding, which seemed to be asserting that only "modern democracies" (which there appear to be a scant few of these days) could "play ball," and

Agreed, and to move up one level of meta, the interviewer should be thinking about this kind of analysis when they construct their interview process/system. “How can I moderate this conversation so the questions themselves are not obst

We'd probably get along well then.

Unsubstantiated opinion: “gathering data” is a bad mindset to be in during an interview. That may contribute to the adoption of pathological questions like, “Why don’t people like you?"

That’s a bummer. Why is that, do you think?
