This is such an accurate and profound statement. And now that I think about it, one trait that I’ve witnessed in CEOs and successful entrepreneurs again and again is an almost inhuman ease with initiating and engaging in uncomfortable conve

Your perception of the risks associated with providing that feedback isn’t the same as everyone else’s. When you’re young, and especially if you come from a lower income background (where authority is treated as an absolute, and abuse of au

Early in my career, a manager once had me repeat to him that I would be terminated if I failed to do X, like I was a 5-year-old. X was referring to a technical implementation detail that he had zero understanding of. He read something in a

The issue aside, you’re simply chastising a straw man that you’ve constructed by assuming the worst possible interpretation of every aspect of your opponent’s position, seemingly without ever having spoken to one of them. This is not an eff

Advertising isn’t just about getting the audience to purchase the product. Convincing young people that a product confers high status will increase the perceived value of that product for every potential buyer whether they listen to rap or

I have a theory about this. I think the song format is conforming to the needs of advertisers. That’s why every top song is just a person talking over a beat, usually with the same kind of vocal style, usually the same kind of beat. It’s re

It’s amazing to me how different the reality of that era is from depictions of it in entertainment. For example, I recently read that wars during that time were fought mostly by peasant hordes, and they didn’t have the resources to train an

I think this is an overly cynical take on things. Consider the fact that if Ammon had fully considered this rollout, it would be very obvious to him that this would be the response. The legal ramifications would also have been obvious. I th

Unrelated but I really struggle with this kind of double and triple negative wording. It WOULD seem UNLIKELY that he WOULD NOT have the proper advice to make a deal like this AND NOT be ripped off. “He probably has good advisors that made s

Even if this decision is cited as case law in another case (i.e. somebody leverages the precedent) and a judgment is made, that judgment can be appealed arguing that the lower court was wrong in this instance, and then it would be up to the

Nice to see a comment like this, I feel the same way. Google is the exception to all these other comments. The tools available to Google engineers make working outside Google feel painful and inefficient by comparison even with their unfett

I think GrubHub’s partnership and tie-in with Yelp makes this a very apples-to-oranges comparison. Food delivery apps operate with or without the restaurant’s approval and aren’t able to reach into the restaurant’s pocket the way Yelp and G

Bingo. Subsidized not only by VCs, but also by gig economy workers who genuinely don’t understand how little they’re being paid because their liabilities are complicated and often hidden/deferred. This seems to happen a lot especially

I don’t write JavaScript or have a strong opinion about it. The widespread prevalence of JS transpilers and everyone’s apparent unwillingness to write pure JS makes me think it probably isn’t such a great language. It probably never had a c

I think in language design there’s an expectation that if an expression or statement doesn’t make any sense, then people won’t write it that way. I think that’s a pretty reasonable expectation, too. In JavaScript, {} + [] evaluates to integ

I’m not speaking on behalf of Google and I’m only speculating, but I think what you’re proposing could increase the per-user cost of service 10x or even 100+x, and could easily invalidate their entire revenue model and put them out of busin
