That’s a pledge event for a frat, but it’s not an island in Lake Lagunita, which is no longer a lake or a lagunita.

Is it just me or Canadian pension plans seem to be involved in a disproportionate share of dubious late stage tech investments? The Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan has an extensive Crunchbase page. Are there differences in regulations b

The tweet says he's not moving forward on the deal unless Twitter provides evidence that their monetizable user metric, which is not an estimate of bots, is accurate. Producing that evidence is not a contingency in the deal, so Elon is

He's said the deal was off unless he's convinced by Twitter's bot numbers [1], which isn't a condition of the deal, so, yeah basically he's said he doesn't want to buy. [1] https://twitter.com/e

Not sure I believe this. Instagram could’ve conceivably killed Facebook a decade ago if they’d chosen not to sell. Reminds me of Steve Jobs talking about Microsoft bringing about the dark ages of desktop computing: https://512pix

I am always deeply saddened by the fact that so much of our digital social infrastructure was built by a company with little humanity. How many interactions have been enhanced, as opposed to monetized, by Facebook technology? My understandi

Wood’s quality don’t change much once it’s harvested. Old wood is more often from natural forests where trees grow slowly due to resource competition and therefore have tighter growth rings. New wood is usually from lumber farms where trees

The specific claim was weirdly nationalistic, which seems reasonable since lots of users outside America use the “American English” keyboard layout, to the point where it’s not clear why that’s the right signifier. Probably more Indian user

Not really. London is not much less expensive, and I’m not familiar with Paris but it seems roughly as expensive as London at a glance. The big difference is many costs, especially for young families, are socialized in those two places. For

It honestly seems perfectly reasonable to authenticate a battery which is among the most dangerous component of a device I regularly hold in my hand and up to my head. A fully charged iPhone battery probably has enough energy to blow body p

The tool to mount a tire onto a wheel costs between $50 and $2500 dollars and is very large. The alternative - a spare wheel - is a kludge! Cars carry around an entire tire and wheel all the time in a special compartment because you can&#x2

This person had to plan vacations with 4 month contingencies for two decades of their life, so you clearly didn’t go through the same system they did.

You keep claiming the system is “at capacity” with no evidence, and the psychological trauma it inflicts as inevitable. How does it strain the system differently to process an Indian applicant than an Australian one?

I think the argument in the Atlantic piece is roughly that these “one-off” exceptional blog posts justifying their decision is largely just-so stories with little principled reasoning. For example, this is their defense for why they opposed

If that’s true, shouldn’t one of the underlying concerns - Apple’s shift in priority from hardware to service products - be even more disappointing? How many innovative and user friendly gadgets are we being deprived of so the company can f

Facebook has had an official real name policy for a decade and was the primary source of online misinformation in the 2016 US Presidential election. How do you think Twitter will pull this off and actually improve?
