Bezos paid $250M for WaPo, for an old fashioned thing. Musk is paying $44B, 176 times more. Seems different.

Beware the survivability bias: Maybe big companies can be destroyed by sales and marketing is just the observation resulting from small companies never getting to become big ones due to lack of good sales and marketing.

I avoid cable television and ads. But once in a while I’ll see them on a screen in a bar and they really grab my attention. I think not being exposed to ads, is actually slightly dangerous, since you don’t get used to ignoring them. When I

I’m not saying there’s no single issue voters, just that the single issues are not universal and depend on culture and geography.

Those single issue voters are the not present in many other countries besides the US. This might show that the right arguments and lobbying can turn what is not a big political debate into a wedge over time.

Part of the issue is the language. Apple used the “ask no to track language”, but when it came to their own services chose “turn off personalized ads”: https://9to5mac.com/2021/09/02/apple-personalized-ads-tar

The author seems to have mostly stumbled upon the old “time is money” adage. People today have much more money (or purchasing power) than pre industrial people. They have the same amount of time. There’s a big consequence to your behaviors

Amen to the idea. - Prefer real objects, or fakes over mocks. It will make your tests usually more robust. - Use mocks when you must: to avoid networking, or other flaky things such as storage. - Use mocks for “output only objects”, for exa

This calculation is wrong. While the average 77 years old person will live 10.2 years, it’s not founded and unlikely the people dying from Covid at that age are distributed uniformly. Most likely a 77 yo dying of Covid is in worse health an

Interestingly, the author mentions people lose focus after 10-18 minutes anyhow. So maybe speeding up things gets them more information during that initial focus time? (Other than this silly note, I generally agree with a lot of the author’

I’ve recently had a smoked trout sausage dish in a restaurant. It was amazing, and really hit the textures of a sausage with a great twist on the flavor. There’s definitely potential.

My personal experience shows to the contrary, the super talented engineers do well, and get promoted much more easily. And I’ve seen many cases of “run-of-the-mill engineers” change cultural aspects of the office and the company. This is al

For me it’s the following: - going for polymorphic classes instead of a few switches can cause bad coupling of knowledge. ( For example, instead of a switch on what to log in module A and the same for module B, now you’re mixing code from

I’m sorry if my tone is not coming across as I intended. I think there’s plenty of arguments to be made against Facebook’s integrity effort, and plenty of that work happened on Guy Rosen’s shift. But your feedback is not nuanced and seems t

So it’s a linguistic issue. You’re lumping integrity as “do people abuse our system” with “does person A follow the same morals as me”. Specifically, looks like your morals are that products that are free in exchange for anonymously analyzi
