Sorry, serving the drinks right in front of those urinals that a million dudes peed on is straight up fucking gross.

Regulations that don’t achieve anything create a massive drag on innovation and commerce. Every regulation is a compliance check that needs to be paid for, a lawyer that needs to be hired, etc. which advantages incumbents. It’s like lines o

In what jurisdiction is ascertaining someone’s identity from their public posts criminal stalking? Certainly not mine (California).

This kind of ego satisfaction is not a necessarily bad force, and is responsible for many of the advancements in world history. Why did guys like Newton or Salk publish their work instead of profit from it in secret? Because there is more t

It is something I've thought more about in recent years and have pulled back on what I say even pseudonymously.

Gervais is hugely powerful because he has the money to survive being unpersoned. Not everyone is in his position. His comment is like Shaquille O’Neal saying you actually can walk around and punch anyone you like in the face, because nobody

That’s why I mostly use pseudonymous channels these days, like this one. I treat everything I say with my real name like I’m publishing it on the front page of the New York Times and submitting three copies to the Library of Congress. Many

It’s not just intellectual comfort... colleges have invested in other comforts and luxuries like extremely fancy dorms, dining halls that rival restaurants, etc. After all, each student provides more revenue than ever before, so higher CACs

I see a lot of criticism that this is self-serving by Microsoft, that they’re advocating for regulation that will hurt their competitors like Google and Amazon much harder than themselves. I say... *that’s great.” Privacy advocates can get
