Yeah for it to work it would have to be a regulation for all companies that allowed targeted advertising and reach a certain scale.

It definitely is a hard problem, and I agree that there's no way that this could happen without regulation. I could imagine it being enforced across all companies that reach a certain scale. Below some scale threshhold the damage tha

He mentioned it during one of his podcasts, and unfortunately I listen to all of them so I'd have no idea which one he mentioned it in.

On the subject of increasing transparency, Jason Calacanis had a suggestion that I thought was brilliant. There should be a public database of all ads running on Facebook, that would simply show the ad, the ad purchaser, and who the ad is

As an American living in Berlin, it's a striking feeling to live in a well-run country. It's not perfect of course, but the feeling that the system works with you and for you (even as a foreigner) is a stark contradiction to the

My big question is whether people are really noticing such a dramatic speed difference? I've tried it several times, and it seems like there is a negligible difference, if any, between it and Chrome. And I'm a guy that uses Subl

I'm an American living in Berlin, and I think the problem here would be more of a cultural one than a legal one. Germans just have an expectation that once hired they will be given every chance to succeed, to the point that firings se

I wonder if this could be the birth of the legal microdosing industry?

Man, the design of this is so unpolished that I actually find it a bit stressful to look at. The lack of grid adherence, the strange hierarchy of font sizes, it doesn't seem up to Github's normal high standards of clean and sensi

There is a concept called "fluency illusion" which everyone is susceptible to, which is when you are passively flipping through a book on some topic, and you say: yeah, I know this, I know this too, yeah yeah, I got this. And the

That's mostly true, but then try living for a few years in Germany and then your perception of what it means to avoid eye contact will vastly change :)

Writing the string "Made with love in $COUNTRY" would actually be kind of funny.

As a programmer who is working on a language learning startup, I've thought alot about how and why these two disciplines are different. And I believe that learning a spoken language is actually much harder than learning a programming

At least it was clear that it was clickbait before even clicking it. But yeah that is a cynical article that is really scraping for an angle.

I'm an American that has lived in Berlin for over 3 years now, so I'm very used to the language (if not exactly fluent). And one of the early surprises for me was how soft and beautiful it can sound when spoken by a woman. An exa

Are you saying that you only look at 10s of websites or 10s of pages? As a (frontend or full-stack) web developer you end up looking at many 100s of page views a day, and those extra seconds matter. Both in maintaining a semblance of flow

Yes, the exploitation inherent in these events is the biggest turnoff to me. I value my time and expertise too much to give it away for free.

The amazing thing to me is that my 10 and 8 year old nephews have a PSVR, and Xbox, and an iPad, and all they want to do is play the iPad. They use the Xbox sometimes, and the PSVR collects dust. It seems nowadays low friction is the kill

Top-down hirings for the sake of culture change don't really work, though do they? It seems like the inevitable outcome is exactly this, a bright-eyed, and then soon-disenfranchised new hire, butting up against an resistant and entren
