That pretty much fits into the "data" for most companies, and especially high-growth ones are actually made by people well into their 40s if not 50s. I recall reading this paper[0] which really bursted some of the myths/legen

No surprise at all. A lot of unnecessary stress (yes, more than enough, even for a pandemic) and the top-down approach of the institutions really broke the trust of the public in many healthcare systems worldwide. I think the sentiment woul

Of course it's dystopian and some people seem to buy into the narrative that it's "for people's own good". Well 'yes' but not really, because the primary motivation is to counter any entity that might gain

I was skeptical of the news in the first place (not to sound like a "smartass" because I'm not, and we can only speculate about these things from outside). Anyways, the move , whether Elon intended or not at any given time to

Damn, i knew it was a mac-first product but i really hoped for a linux release. Guess it does makes sense to attack the market with more money, but still.

Thanks for the link, I remember hearing about Clarence Thomas' take on this subject but I never took the time to study it. My personal opinion (before reading the material above) is that the "core issue" stands on the S230 &q

Nationalizing in the traditional sense is not the solution, indeed, but rather hold the platform up to the letter of the constitution. This right now is not exactly possible given that "twitter is a private company", therefore arg
