It’s hard to imagine a more last minute move on the boards part here. Been in tech exec leadership for a long time and this feels like they’re accusing him of cannibalism (in corporate PR speak). No way this didn’t get decided on in the mid

Technically, US police solve less than half of all violent crime and less than 25% percent of all property crime. So more like “gotta catch a few of ‘em”.

I thought it was well understood that the best predictor for success was the ZIP code you grew up in. The examples of people rising above their economic class are touted loudly for sure, but still incredibly rare. A winning lottery ticket i

The problem is that lots of wealth capital (both personal and corporate) is tied up in commercial real estate. It’s the reason everyone from Martha Stewart to Musk to hedge fund managers are screaming about how “unethical” remote work is. T

It’s always been the same answer for hundreds of years. Unions and solidarity.

If this kind of ban was happening all over the place for similar reasons I’d argue that you have a point. After digging a bit, however, I wasn’t able to find many males banned for harassment or assault on another member. So it seems you’re

I work in tech and the arts and my experience is that some of the most emotionally disengaged people are in STEM, not everyone of course, but comparing the two, it’s not even close. It’s actually pretty rare to find anyone serious in the ar

Strongly agree. I know a few people like this who are already quietly exploring AI relationships, one of my oldest friends is among them. Can’t help but think that the rise of incels has arrived.

Tech didn’t bring us here, greedy business practices and decades long misinformation campaigns did that.

100% agree, just left a highly functioning, high performance org that I led at one of the big tech companies and strongly feel this “bonding problem” is a feature of piss poor management. It’s not as easy, and it’s not the same, but running

Are you clumsily implying that people can’t live without Reddit? I’m internet old enough to remember Digg & MySpace thinking the same thing.

Unless the Reddit admins change their tune, I seriously doubt this will be a few days. It’s entirely plausible that the site implodes over the course of a few weeks. Besides the political fallout, this API change will fundamentally cripple

The greatest idea corporations ever came up with was to convince us all that we can individually stop what’s happening. Remember the fantasy that many of us grew up on that recycling would save the planet? Turns out things like plastic rec

Your comment ignores that these industries, corporations and governments driving climate change for profit have gone to extreme lengths to make sure activists make no progress that would affect earnings. It’s also a strange argument to make

Tons of recording artists own their masters, both big and small. It’s a function of their contract that determines that ownership, and those terms are clear. Just as they are clear in Reddit’s TOS. You own your content, Reddit simply has a

Interesting that you consider the few avenues citizens have to hold police accountable as a path toward anarchy and “black thug culture”. I’m curious if you have the same energy for the reasons police are being watched in the first place.

Absolutely agree, it’s the book that makes so much of the story make sense and elevates the series beyond most other sci-fi / fantasy. Even now, 30 years after I first read it, I’m blown away by how much I refer back to the principles

While I think there are some solid points made here, overall this feels reductive and almost isolationist. In particular, strongly agree that many wings of mass media have become a core problem, both as a vector of control and fountain of p

This whole issue is fascinating to me and no doubt will be studied in schools in the coming years. One of the lead product designers on Zillow Offers wrote a retrospective yesterday that outlines, broken user journeys, greed and the attempt
