The same types of tools that forum moderators have available to them on Reddit, HN, Discord, etc. Low hanging items: throttle message rates, limit number of people in a chat room, bans, shadow bans, topics , delayed message posting pending

Either slack will implement anti-activism features or a competitor will. Given Benioff’s public persona I’m betting on the latter. The one thing Slack has always sucked at is moderation tools.

I interviewed for a director of engineering role there — met the CTO, very informal ahead of the actual interview loop. Recruiter said they would follow up. Crickets. I followed up. Silence. It was quite weird.

Worth keeping in mind that Old Navy continues to print money and Athleta grows at a very healthy pace for them. Gap is like Facebook blue app.

You’re never gonna get anywhere with that argument unfortunately. The hedonic treadmill is too quick and everyone you’re responding to grew up taking all of these modern miracles for granted. I remember what buying snacks was like growing u

I’ve seen it work in companies at scale, though it’s not universal. Teams are still on the order of 20 or so and the dynamics still apply. Beyond that, you’re right — but even at huge companies a lot of exec hiring is done that way. I got h

In China, the underclass are literally second class citizens who risk being exiled from major cities should they get into trouble. Social services are not available to them.

You don't need to borrow more than 100 cows, the short squeeze of Porsche/VW had a much lower short interest because the shares were all tied up in institutional holdings.

the only thing resembling a "claim" is greater than 100% short interest on the security. This information is public https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/GME/short-interest/ As of this comment

I think you’re right that Superhuman is a luxury product. The luxury segment is pretty underexplored in software. LVMH’s market cap is north of 300B. There’s plenty of scale in the price insensitive audience!

An engineer on my team years ago felt the same as you and built his own solution for us to use during interview, eventually spinning it into a very successful business. Check out coderpad.io if you wanna get some inspiration. They took a si

We're working on a CRDT collaboration engine at Outline-Wiki https://www.getoutline.com . It can be easily and performantly self-hosted (though there's a saas version available) and it's open-source.

This is a common misconception of section 230. Section 230 absolves platform companies from responsibility over speech on the platform. It does not care about what is moderated out. No one is responsible for speech that isn’t said.

This is fine. It's practical, but a little ugly. Same discussion that we had the other day with Tailwind CSS. It's fine, it's very practical, but a little ugly.

They provide a balance of governance and flexibility that allows team members to work independently to create new designs, but not have CSS specificity get out of hand. One main benefit is to constrain the actual power of CSS specificity. T

> The entire point of CSS is to separate style from structure This may be the stated point, but it breaks down in many cases. Tailwind, Tachyons, etc. are often a more straightforward, maintainable approach.

If the type keyword needs to be added anyways, why not angle brackets then? Is it still ambiguous?

Hey hey — I'm an Outline contributor (OS, not part of the company). It's on the roadmap, a big part of the reason for a major recent rewrite of the underlying engine was to set up support for live collaborative editing.
