Agreed - she should be fighting for quality content that she believes in, in meetings, while some moustache-twirling villain in a top hat patronizingly says to her that shit she just said (but occasionally is convinced/won over). That&

As a customer or potential customer I am utterly indifferent if not hostile to that goal. In my world, the purpose of Netflix is to provide me with good stuff to watch. Preferably for free, so I can buy food for my working-class family. If

It's too late - the web already "democratized" communication, meaning that not just people with writing skills, credentials, connections or experiences capable of impressing some gatekeeper get to have a voice. People with ab

Kind of like every other demographic. But yeah definitely don't make the mistake of assuming tech knowledge is inversely proportional to age. Otherwise it'd be like we're all coming out the womb writing assembly language and

Already the case I'm sure... I'm displaying my ignorance a bit!

"... a 26 December 2019 ruling by the Constitutional Court of Turkey that the more than two and a half year block imposed by the Turkish government was unconstitutional." Your takeaways: 1) Turkey has a Constitutional Court. 2)

I think I did hear brick-and-mortar stores complaining recently about having too many customers, and wondering whether there was something else they could do, something they hadn't thought of yet, to annoy and anger customers, maybe ad

Actually they don't do that, and neither would I if I could run 50 mph, was huge, and preferred breathing air, but anyway: Importance (which is import, meaning) is mostly subjective. If there's such a thing as objective importance

Well yeah of course I know what age we're living in, and that it's a thing, otherwise I wouldn't be saying these things. We're saying the same thing basically, but you asked what I recommend and I'm just saying I do

I'm not recommending anything. This isn't a charged environment like Twitter, where it seems 100% of statements are either recommendations that will FIX THE UNIVERSE, or attempts by opponents to misconstrue them as same, for purpo

Standard counterpoint objection here that I'm not sure I "buy" ADHD. How much of it is just "being human" (and in particular "being a young human") in a world that's inhuman? Is it a coincidence that

Amazing. File under not being evil.

Jeez. That's dedication. "Sorry, I must apologize for interrupting the performance."

What if I told you I could offer you a 99% automated intercity solution? That's right, a solution where 99% of the people involved have no obligation whatsoever to engage with piloting the vehicle... EVER! Where the vehicle just sort

Any wiki is basically an example, isn't it? Or if I'm not quite ready to defend that statement, I can at least say, you could use (or maybe misuse) any wiki-builder to build a Zettelkasten. Just impose a length restriction on each

Sure, agreed, and Lyft's apparent priorities are a big part of why I'm not in a relationship with them or part of their "community" (read: "customer base." Community is a lie and therefore offensive, despite

Tell me again why anybody cares? Is it because the Church is so central to our lives? We're masters of rationality and technology, who believe in a retributive super-ape in the sky? Is it because we're medieval scribes and we real

Yeah and you know, thank god for that. As a musician I thought I would be interested in reading this article, but I kept finding myself fiddling, doing other things, looking at other tabs, even playing 2048 at one point. I guess I will alwa

Just for the record, absence of evidence can be evidence of a crime: evidence-tampering. And anyway, an absence of evidence isn't exactly exonerative either, especially if a plausible narrative exists to explain the absence. And ther

The WTF question is not "Why does a giant agency care about this tiny issue" but rather "Why does a public agency think it's a private business?" (Sure sure, it's a corporation, but its owners are ultimately th

A little irksome to be told that climate change is an issue "younger generations face." Like I'll be dead soon so it doesn't matter to me. Is that what you're telling me? Well all right then, I'll sell that bic

Yes, amazingly relevant to several conversations I had at work just today and yesterday, as a matter of fact. Hard to believe this is 10 years old.

Kind of sad that the founder feels obligated to say it's a "tragedy of mismanagement" or a tragedy of anything ... as if the story is any more dramatic or Shakespearean than the simple truth: Probably this method just isn&#x

You will save a ton of time, money, energy and productivity that you currently waste in going drinking and recovering from drinking. I mostly stopped, not particularly by trying, but just by sort of growing out of the lifestyle and almost l

If I WERE going to assume motivations, I would put it more like "They have SoftBank and the Vision Fund on a death watch ever since WeWork."
