Im sorry but your epistemics are very wrong. Providing a free service with no strings attached to nearly every website in the world adds a ton of value, possibly more than Cloudflare’s market cap. And the fact that a free product can lead t

I’m not saying social media is good for children. I’m just saying that some companies might release more information if the reaction wasn’t always adversarial. It’s not just meta. There’s a constant demand for outrage against big companies.

You don’t like it when they release research, you don’t like it when research leaks, you don’t like it when research is suppressed. Hard for Meta to do anything right on this topic.

So what do you want to do about it? It can’t be stopped.

Are you bothered by the fact that software engineers might be easier to automate?

No longer there, but Argentina. The current government is squashing that fortunately.

I don’t understand why all these comments are about who buys or doesn’t buy at Amazon. The article is about unionization and strikes. I expect a conversation about the merits of unions and their negotiation tactics. In my opinion, events li

If I donate time or things I’m more sure it will be used as I intended.

I think your original comment is entirely valid. It seems anyone who questions WFH gets downvoted. I’m involved with several startups, and I can assure you there are clear advantages to people spending time together. WFH or not, people meet

More interesting is when we used to run Alexa commercials and it would cause a denial of service attack on ourselves with all the devices being triggered, particularly during the superbowl. In that case, we added some imperceptible noise to

The causal relationship is that you’re willing to explore more options before you go into full exploit mode, and that allowed you to find a better local maxima. It’s not that hard to follow. But if you frame it as an obviously bad decision
