"Both sides" is such an absurd claim these days. It's like saying that a murderer and a jaywalker are both criminals, so they're basically the same.

God I hope not. We (the collective "we" of all humanity) clearly lost massively when we let a handful of billionares get richer by saying they got to control all sharing, remixing, performing, using or expanding upon any music, ar

Your bias and/or obsession are blinding you to the situation here. There are hundreds of Standord dropouts running startups. And if they do fraud, people call it out, the media reports it as fraud, investors and customers leave, and th

You also won't find this for future female founders, because the comment you're replying to is a random internet poster imagining things. You can say "I can imagine VCs saying..." and then complete the sentence with lite

I didn't back up my statements with numbers because I'm old enough to have lived through the times I'm talking about and it's as obvious how much things have changed in my lifetime, but here: https://www.visua

Who cares? A modern worker is on Zoom meetings for multiple hours a day, if one of those hours happens to be talking to a recruiter or hiring manager, so what? People also sometimes talk to their kids school or their dentist or the plumber

Everyone sees "AI writing style" everywhere online now. I thought it was interesting when someone linked to Reddit from like 2012-2015 and all the top-rated comments were in the same style. It might be that the author used claude

> AI doesn't make programmers 100x productive and it never will I can't wrap my head around the AI naysayers at this point. We've had the equivalent of watching the tech go from the Wright Brothers plane to supersonic stea

It's been years since I tried making a Twitter account, I believe at the time it sometimes required a phone number to sign up but other times it was optional (some A/B test). I think Bluesky didn't require a phone number to s

Even worse, it's hard or impossible to even have an account with any shred of privacy. I've tried to create pseudoanonymous accounts on both Bluesky and Twitter and then had them be instantly banned before I ever used them. Not ev

This isn't something that could be caused by a mutation in a single nucleotide or a segment being deleted or inserted, the way normal mutations happen and get passed on. This would be an entirely different set of (mirrored) machinery c

I don't understand what you're arguing here. A fund went up 400% by making a few highly leveraged, concentrated bets. The market moved against its leveraged positions and it was forced to quickly sell to a rival fund, at only an 8
