I am a PM with LinkedIn. DM me and I can try to funnel this to the right channels. I'll be the first to say that there are a lot of problems with LinkedIn, but the company's "heart" is generally in the right place.

Interesting to think about how deep-seated incentives keep people from following the values they claim to espose. Would also be curious to see the Red state version of this analysis.

I've recently seen some great hires at LinkedIn. We've also lost some great candidates because we were too slow (due to covid era freeze). Overall I'm excited that were bringing in talent that looks like the users we're

I built www.writegreen.org in 2011, specifically to channel my own energy and angst around this topic to drive policy change (don't change your lightbulbs, change your laws). Unfortunately, the realities of having a family to feed kept

...not to mention murdering Native Americans and taking their land. Surely that was illegal (not to mention immoral) from the Native American point of of view. I agree with your point that the entire US is founded on illegal activity. It&#

Nice point. You can build a great ruby site without Rails, but Rails gives you a nice framework to make the process easier. Similarly, you can build a business without an MBA, but an MBA gives you a convenient framework to help with impor
