I'm not an MBA nor even a math person really, what is the "I" in this equation when the ad spend is zero?

Funny you should call out autocomplete, which is not powerful nor capable enough to let me change the order of how things appear. IIRC the default is 1. bookmarks, 2. history, 3. open tabs, 4. websearch suggestions, and last I checked (a fe

A reading list...with tags, which those browsers don't have, and while I don't have Safari, if it's like Chrome it's just a flat list. I mean, Firefox's bookmarking isn't perfect by any definition, but they&#x2

I think there's room for (i.e. I think I'd read) an IndieHackers type site that focuses on one-man armies! Like IH has done in the past couple years you'd probably have to expand it, but even including <5ppl companies migh

I wonder if "VC funding" lives in a space between old-style business development and hierarchy, vs. new-style revenue expectations. We get middle-heavy startups (backbiting optional) trying to cover zillion dollar AWS bills by per

There you go again with the groundless "most," not to mention your thinly veiled bias against "activists." > The recipient of the violence (be it property or a person) is not relevant. The law disagrees, for decades

Hmmm, maybe it could be called something like "syllogistic materialism?" It's a predictable badness that these "revelations" are specific sentiments about what follows, aka "the nouns" (more or less). &quo

Nothing prevents someone from posting under an account otherwise used as a submission bot. If you actually look where they're commenting, it's usually only on stories that they submitted.

Race doesn't exist in humans. Races are subspecies, and homo sapiens doesn't have those. "Race" is a concept maintained to exist by people who think society should be organized by ethnicity, and those people are called r

Your estimation of "very likely" here is entirely made up, imaginary, based on nothing but your own preconceived notions.

Yes, different situations require different solutions. I think most people learn this by the time they reach puberty. If you're trying to reduce costs on a complicated usage pattern, then you'll probably want to have someone on st

Legally in the US, adults are the only people that TOS applies to. Minors can't enter into contracts, of which a TOS is one.

The question of data collection could use a little reverse consideration: what could Audacity possibly collect that would be of interest to law enforcement? The only thing I can think of is IP address with a timestamp (which I'm not

> Musk, for all his flaws, started an actual rocket company with new and frankly insane tech. Isn't is an amazing coincidence that Elon was able to find so many rocket engineers with ideas just as NASA was being starved of funding?

And he violated Disqus' TOS to do it, not to mention basic responsibility not to abuse information access. Ah but maybe you've never had to protect sensitive information before, such that the responsibility itself is foreign.

That's not the way the law works. She doesn't have to have evidence that someone else wrote it, the defendants have to have evidence they know she did. Because they doxxed her for it...which would appear to be something you do h

The thing is, someone else using her account is both possible and plausible. Civil suits hinge on a preponderance of evidence ("who has more"), and if "same email" is all Benton had to go on, that might not be enough to

Whatever you think of what Viola posted, if she is fired, Benton should definitely also be fired for doxxing her. Disqus should also revoke Nieman Lab's account (but I bet they won't). I don't agree with Viola, but if she&#x2

You don't have to talk about politics at work. Heck, you may have even heard never to bring up politics or religion. Because of consequences.

At the very least, I imagine a true engineering version of software development would be fundamentally driven by Big-O. Everything justified and implemented in terms of calculable facts. Repeatability might emerge from this. I think of it t
