It's an interesting idea, I think. I've seen this (sort of) idea before - I forget exactly when, maybe back when Musk took the helm of the Twittanic and ordered flank speed towards the already visible iceberg. Personally, I'm

Hard to fathom the stupidity, but the arc of this (Huffman's statements, including the dishonest and the just plain "tells") and Verge interview yesterday suggest that the reason for the line in the sand killing Apollo, RIF,

Yes, let's be realistic. Most people browsing reddit are not addicted. This isn't 2013. The site is massive, and, the most important users aren't just random "terminally online" people. Continuing to antagonize a ke

Agreed - good. Huffman / Reddit Inc. have misread this repeatedly. Just saw he's reportedly assured staff it will "blow over" and "hasn't hurt revenue". Wrong move. Completely avoidable PR disaster, and un

At the risk of adding further low quality content, right here and now, this proposed "Mythical Mom Month" book is an intriguing pitch. Do you have a more detailed pitch sheet? :)

Hear, hear! Personally, I favor WFH for scores of reasons. That said, I am aware of the pluses (and the minuses that often cannot be clearly delineated) of having people together in locations. A fair amount of the benefits are subtle, and f

More strongly (and accurately, I think): The world advances one funeral at a time. Good saying, in any case, however strongly one wishes to phrase it. :)

One point this author makes that I entirely agree with is that "copyright" has often been used to enforce forms of feudalism. And particularly odious forms, IMO. One of the relatively few issues that actually has angered me a fair

Ah yes, reminds me of one reason I don't mind waiting so much for a table these days. Just list the family name as "Donner" - hearing the maître d' call out "Donner, party of 4, your table's ready" really

My favorite was the alleged sighting of "Wet Nellie" (modified Lotus from Bond movie that Musk bought years ago) in video footage sent to Tesla's servers by one of their cars - likely, when it was parked. They have been quite

We seem to be locked into an ever more blatant "cycle of addiction". As with (other) drugs, the addict and the dealer are something like "two sides of the same coin". Briefly, new tech / markets / apps ... i.e.

Thank you for this insightful comment! (Love the aside at the end ... seriously, though, Aurelius had an incisive eye, his writings have great value and much to teach just about anyone ...)

There's something more fundamental, though - humans are a "social species". Evolutionarily, we are adapted to requiring (generally) at least something of a group / tribe. Other organisms solve survival (of the species, u

Lol, this is HN. Comments are often incredibly negative, and frequently enough - wrong or not quite right, yet arrogant &/ opinionated etc. Others taught me long ago to try to keep something of a 'critical eye' turned on
