I'm not sure if the author is in the "denial" stage or the "bargaining" stage of grief. The outcome of the vote is an absolute travesty, and I don't understand the intricacies of EU politics, but everything I&#

I think PG has a solid enough "personal brand" that he doesn't need to build it through being a twitterati "thought leader."

I agree with the other comment - all of those have extensive government interference. The tax deductibility of employer health plans is at the root of a lot of problems with the cost of healthcare in the US. It's also worth noting th

Awesome service! I think this will become the absolute must-have for anyone launching a VC firm over the next 5 years. The only item they're missing is $25 million in liquid capital from selling a now-defunct mobile gaming company. I

I'm skeptical that they can turn their culture around, but I do think they do see damage to their reputation as an existential threat (either via users leaving the platform or via regulatory pressure.)

They also pay low wages, don't provide paid sick days, fire you if you're late, provide less training, and so on. There's a lot of bad stuff about being poor; I'm not convinced that the privacy angle adds a lot. The sent

This seemed like a grab bag of "Here are some bad things about being poor that are vaguely related to privacy" with the only common thread being Professor Gilman's willingness to speak about them. Poverty is brutal, but I&#x2

> Those with IBD already have a difficult time with people not believing they’re sick or that symptoms aren’t that bad That's surprising and sad to hear. I have a close friend with Crohn's who is always very stoic even when he&

The code I've written recently relies heavily on async and data classes, both of which are recent additions. I can't imagine choosing Python 2 at this point.

The analogy in the title is very strained to start with, and by the time he throws in a Zork reference the metaphor totally collapses. Setting aside the rhetorical style, I think the main argument is pretty weak. People claiming Facebook ha

There are two big misconceptions here: 1. Consulting/banking are useless 2. Harvard/Yale grads who go work for prestigious firms disappear, never to be heard from again. The first point is disputable. There's a lot of really

I agree with respect to many of these cases. But the Waymo case or the Ross Ulbricht case were pretty routine from a legal perspective as I understand it. The Oracle one is establishing novel law about whether or not you can copyright an AP

It's strange to me that they mentioned Oracle vs Google in the introduction but not the body of the article. It seems like in a lot of the cases involving new tech take a couple years to get started and then ~5 years to resolve. So we

Not to detract from the good overall point, but isn't the math here a bit wonky? In the first example, he shows 160k insertions and 130k deletions and claims that therefore he wrote 160k + 130k = 290k lines of prose. That's... wro
