> But their content was too long to be short Totally right, imo. I might be old and out of touch, but to me 10 minutes is way too long for content on mobile, and short enough to be kind of annoying on anything else. I'd rather watch

I absolutely agree that curation is good, but my question is why do you trust twitter to curate more than an actual newspaper? Did the unnamed bureacracy at Twitter talk to the reporters at the Post to determine whether their methods were s

I'm not asking why Twitter was allowed to do that, I am well aware that Twitter is a private company, believe it or not. I'm asking you want them to do that. Why are we better off if Jack Dorsey decides what articles people read?

> This is the story of Twitter going along with journalistic standards But why, the Post is in fact a newspaper. Why do you want Twitter (which is not a newspaper) to make editorial decisions about what gets published or not, rather than

And yet I know far more about their scandals and failings than I do of the keystone cops running my local police. And activists in my city have been in the streets for months, and there has been very little reform of the local police.

I really like this article, and especially the calling into question that smaller/decentralized is always better. I've had the intuition for a while that decentralization is sort of a hope of end-running around power structures, b

That's true, and arguably bad, because the result is that accountability and reform occur on the local level, where there are inevitably fewer resources for oversight.

I feel like similar to the bank case, the key is to be a big enough high-roller that the casino helps you skirt the regulations. Tough times for the small time, mom-and-pop money launderer these days I suppose.

I agree this question is phrased very strangely in a way I find hard to parse. Perhaps this is a common way of speaking in academia, but "what can we say about…" was not a phrase I immediately understood. I was also unsure if he m

I don't think the USB-C charger thing is a big issue, Apple already has several different sizes of USB-C charger. I have an iPad pro, 13" MBP and work-issued 15" MBP, and all have different sized USB C chargers. You can charg

I agree it's a little strange, but the included cable is also the one most people won't have, and the forward-looking option. I would guess the vast majority of iPhone users have many USB A -> lightning cables, but few or no US

I always describe The OA as not necessarily "good" per se, but extremely interesting and unique. I would really like to have seen where they were going with it.

I don't think Freaks and Geeks is a great example, because it's one of the classic cases where people really wish there had been more than one season. It's clear that it was not out of steam after one season. There's a d

Are you serious? You think the average person a) doesn't know that you have to charge your phone and b) doesn't have like 50 of those stupid cubes and a bunch of cables sitting in a drawer somewhere? Tech people's continued a

It's weird that this talks a big game about being about promoting civility and dialog, but seems to be a bug reporting tool. Why would I use this one instead of one of the million others that are focused on my actual problems (checkout

This is exactly why the internet is the way it is. I don't mean this as blaming you personally, it's just the incentives that exist under a capitalist system. The "problems" of the internet are structural in origin, and

Many of the stories from OAN are actually just Reuters stories. Not saying this is bad, many publications do this, but it would be cool if the app could filter those out.

They've already potentially interrupted you by sending you that "hi". But the "hi" contains zero content. And worst of all, they often wait for your reply, which means you have to actually do something to get them t

Why is it not valid to buy a better cpu to have a better dev environment? What does validity even mean here? I was never told I had to check in with you when making decisions. Before docker I remember spending tons of time setting up depend

This kind of response is supremely unhelpful. I work at a company with a large team, I'm not just going to tell all 300+ people to drop everything and rewrite the entire dev stack. Docker has become the de facto standard for dev enviro

I think it's not uncommon for years 2 and 3 to be the highest earning years though, due to the 25% cliff, and to retention grants you get in years 1/2.

Why should it be this way though? Under GDPR, citizens have certain rights over their own data, which is meant to protect their privacy. Shouldn't we have something similar here?

I agree with this thinking. I think Google retaining non-anonymized data for the long term poses enormous privacy risks.

LOL I'm a "js developer" and the system I work on requires like 10 docker containers. Not sure where this idea comes from that JS developers don't need power.

Ahh, I see. There's a logic to it, but I really don't agree with this zero-sum mindset. The tech sector is one of the few where the US is (arguably) a leader, and it seems like we will all benefit in the long run if the most talen

I feel like rather than pitting immigrants against native born workers, and trying to come up with the perfect arcane rule, we should have sectoral bargaining where the workers could negotiate pay standards directly with their employers. Th
