I don't think that anybody's ever complained about "the way the orders work" in diplomacy being "tedious"? Do you just mean that the game is faster?

The problem is that it can be and is used in other contexts. It's a dark conversational art.

I've been practicing this for years, I think I'm pretty good at it, and I've come to believe it's actually incredibly toxic. I think that the primary effect of this communication style is actually to inhibit real discus

"Slowing the spread" isn't a strategy, it's a tactic. What is the goal, and why? How are we going to achieve that goal?

Because a world in which people are unwilling to answer their doors is depressing, and answering the door is only going to cost you like 30 seconds of your time.

Yeah it still sounds like a pretty easy problem (I work at a super operationally heavy company and at time my workload has been 90% ops 10% eng). If the 300 count includes all the support agents then I maybe I can see it but the common S

If LP's are willing to fund automatic pro-rata it's pretty clearly in YC's interests to take them up on it. Apparently that used to be the case but now it's not.

It might seem stupid to you but inequity is a pretty normal thing to complain about.

This is crazy, the majority of FTE's will barely notice the extra $1000 but it could make a huge difference for most of the subcontractors.

Let me help: it's not actually a useful signal. Solved!

Yeah, to me the main problem isn't bias it's just that: 1. It's not possible for any human to produce insightful opinion pieces on anything close the schedule that oped writers are expected to 2. So opinion pages end up being

I think it's telling that the piece that started this whole episode was a WSJ opinion piece - I agree with you that the opinion sections of all three of these papers are pretty bad and that the WaPo opinion section in particular is a U

If you’re the first to panic, you get out with most of your money. Panicking first is kind of their job.

I think that the idea of using well designed CSS rules and classes basically just turned out to not be very useful in the real world (one discussion of the issues: https://speakerdeck.com/vjeux/react-css-in-js )

Hey, just wondering: was the fast company article was placed there by your PR people? Not that there's anything wrong with that, I'm just curious.

Personally I don't have an ethical problem with search being pay to play. Regardless, I'm pretty sure having competition in the search space wouldn't solve the problem (because as I said, users don't care) - what baseca

Basecamp is so full of shit here, they just don't want to have to pay for traffic and it's nothing to do with monopoly (if there were three major search engines, they'd all be selling the Basecamp keyword, because users don&#
