I'd bet if you deduct C-suite salaries that profit becomes a heck of a lot larger. C-suite execs and wall street raid companies for profit all while screwing the average American. This is not news--look at stock buybacks. If these comp

I think this becomes a balance of peers. The psychological safety of one, may not necessarily be the psychological safety of another. Does the individual who wishes to speak up berate the underperforming co-worker for underperforming? How c

How is "developing an algorithm" which selects content any different than editorial free speech? It selects content to show, and transmits that content to its users. Newspapers do this all the time, they pick the stories which get

For a while I used FB Messenger Lite, which was basically designed for low-bandwidth markets (read: not US) but came without any sort of bloat. Sadly they recently deprecated it, which forced me to switch. It seems like these companies feel

What was the process like disclosing the bug to them? One part of your post that you left out and I was curious on. Was it friendly/straightforward? Were they surprised at all that this was possible?

I wonder how valuable this is as a metric, since much of what gets viewed is a function of art as much as it is marketing, production, or other elements. Some years studios make movies that are just bad--I wouldn't necessarily expect t

Military infrastructure isn't always as well-engineered as it should be all the time. It can be very costly and time consuming to deploy new encryption keys, especially for technologies like radios. It's not as simple as deploying

There's an argument to be made that the military employs socialization tactics often found in cults, such as group mentality--I'll be the first to concede that. But the notion that the military's 'objective' is the
