If the advertisers can't tell if you're using this app or a traditional podcast app, are you really supporting the makers any less by using this app? The advertisers won't pay them any less because they won't be able to

Gee I remember when this was first posted. I remember being jealous for not thinking of the idea myself. Can't believe it's been 6 months and that you've been acquired already. Really kind of inspirational and makes me realiz

Related to "watching every new netflix release", this podcast tries to do just that: https://player.fm/series/recently-added

How would you suggest we work on improving technology without having it be useful in "evil" ways? Or are you suggesting all of us not take data jobs (or even work on any generalizable tech) at the risk that it somehow in a tangent

I really wish the tech community would stop encouraging "this and that is terrible "-style articles. It toxifies the whole atmosphere, and it doesn't have to be like this if we don't want to.

Learning that Scott Aaronson is collaborating with smbc comics makes me feel like people are having fun at parties I'm not invited to.

That's like saying there doesn't exist riveting brain-changing books out there, which just isn't true. (Keep searching until you've found your bliss.)

You haven't read some of the amazing books that are out there if you've got that attitude.

Isn't eventbrite the most popular one of these alternatives?

Insert mandatory "Don't forget that [Country other than the US]'s [positive traits] comes at a cost of loss of [american value]" here. What'll it be this time? Communism? Authoritarianism?

Fame and success is still valued by society writ large. This is deeper than this most recent social media layer. I also left social media but I feel just as much pressure as before because the people who I hang around with (who themselves a

Could someone explain to me why this is happening? Is it a metoo situation?

I don't think you deserve to be downvoted. On the other hand, I generally don't expect to find this in documentaries. This is what books are good at. (I'd never expect to see Power Broker content in documentary format.)

Young people are the inexperienced, they're the ones who're gonna get squeezed into whatever shape employers set up. I used to think we were in for a big corporate culture shift, to more informality, more power to the worker, more

Am I just dim or does this make it sound like libraries are doing so unwittingly?

Meh, all this "we can't release it because it's dangerous" business is just marketing

Ugh, such a huge mix of emotions reading this.

I buy this. But then again, why go through all the trouble? They can just reject you once they see how old you are (and blame something else or not tell you at all).

I can't for the life of me figure out how to read around other people (even in silence). Is there something wrong with me? I bet I could learn but I'm not sure how.

Yeah, I see this as a pretty interesting illustration at how poor engineers are at figuring out how things actually function in the world for anything other than products.

There's still deception even if companies use dry language. Using deck-style language only makes it that obvious and easier to decipher.

How do you read things like this? I'm overwhelmed but feel like there are nuggets all over in this document.

I used to love listening to this all day while coding. But I've had to wean myself off it because I started feeling like my brain started becoming a bit messed up by it, compared to listening to just silence.
