That is a bit like suggesting everyone buy enough storage to digitize all of their photos at high resolution in 1990. It would have cost thousands per person. With scale this should get substantially cheaper and more realistic.

The social media platforms prefer to call it engagement. They never hid this fact and somehow it didn't bother their user base as much as it should have.

What Victoria has done is highly commendable. The issue in the US is that there is no national commitment to reduce transmission to your levels. In turn, a single county, region, or state will be unable to reach the result you’ve achieved.

Likely reflective of how little we really know. It’s also not clear from Morrow’s note where his estimate comes from.

San Mateo was the first Bay Area county to reopen and did not have transmission rates that were higher than nearby counties. The real point of his message is that it’s possible the higher levels of restriction aren’t working.

I think it is a clear implications we still don't have enough testing even though CA as a whole is doing relatively well on testing. It seems like once your positive % goes above 5-10% it really means you're missing many cases.

It is worth reading many of Dr Morrow's previous statements on the pandemic. This statement reflects the learnings across 10 months of fighting this virus. We really do need to some moving, congregating, and gathering in groups indoors

For any of these unlimited storage plans, there is a small set of user (<1%) who are massively unprofitable. On some level you can fire those users, but eventually they come back under a new guise. The easiest option is to eliminate thes

The US university system is completely broken and ready for reformation. The endowments of so many of these schools are driving flawed behaviors that encourage these backdoor admissions. University athletics are in the same camp. These supp

I'm not sure where you get $1000 per user. Is that a CLTV number? The amount of money put into the company by Dustin himself, the declining efficiency metrics (costs increasing faster than revenue), and the 10x number you mention poin

The 4A branding is only something a tech company would come up with. Obviously its a lower cost model, but there is something magically less appealing about that 'A' designation.

FB's religion around AB testing for engagement and their views on free speech (which are mostly good) creates a complicated product that brings out much of the worst in people. They need to reevaluate their engagement at all costs phil
