This is an apples-to-oranges comparison. Consider what a nuclear disaster (like Chernobyl) costs: the total price of that disaster is however many statistical lives are lost (look up "value of a statistical life" if you don't

I do think nuclear power is safe; I don't think we should relax safety standards to deploy it – the rigor is required for a reason.

I've been noticing an uptick in these dumb attempts to convince the public that a little radiation is good for us. Just like PTFE, right? It's all about small doses. Works in Progress (this "publication") is owned by Str

I apologize if it appears I've stepped out of line, or if this thread has been difficult for you to moderate; that wasn't the intention. If you go back to my first comment on this post, it seems reasonably clear that my message is

Did I say "regulating speech"? No. If we're going to try to have a cogent conversation, please stop putting words in my mouth. Free speech != the right to a platform, which is synonymous with saying that, just because you hav

Dude, nobody is arguing that we should ban digital communications at all. Take off the tinfoil hat, chicken little. What I'm suggesting is that if we are going to make PLATFORMS available (i.e. WhatsApp) that are capable of amplifying

Printing creates a barrier to entry. You have to have enough conviction in your idea and determination to actually write the statement, lay it out, and print and distribute it. You don't just type "oh shit closeparen should be han

Speed and reach, my friend. Lynchings happened in the US a while ago, but they weren't a universal phenomenon. A platform with the speed and reach of WhatsApp makes disinformation more potent. Nowhere in my post did I suggest human bei

You're not wrong – part of the blame obviously lies there. But even if it is simply enabling and perpetuating an existing problem, why haven't we asked ourselves why technology isn't addressing the issue? How is this future

That's partially true – but end-to-end encryption is different than zero-knowledge. I design the latter. Although LifeHacker isn't a great source, they do a good job of pulling more credible sources together into this article: ht

Yeah, definitely no advertising, particularly overseas, that could have contributed to WhatsApp's growth. No features added like large groups that could be used to spread disinformation. WhatsApp chats are used to influence advertisi

The platform is what spread those lies – without the platform, those lies wouldn't have had the reach they did.

That's the entire problem with this industry – we make the assumption that someone less ethical than us will come along and build the shitty product anyway, and use that as justification to do something we likely shouldn't. Blamin

I know this is going to be an inconvenient reminder for many folks, but: if you play any part in bringing software (or technology in general) into the world, you have an obligation to consider the moral, ethical, and political ramifications

It looks like Enigma dog-foods their own data infrastructure products (Concourse / Assembly?). The public data thing inspired them to build better tools for themselves and sell them. Big lesson in that: sometimes what you learn along t

Really awesome visualization, but I didn't read the text because the columns were insanely wide on my 24" monitor. Might want to constrain the width a bit, chaps.

Cool dude -- no worries; I'll just never hire you. Passion is really hard to fake and, frankly, I don't want to work with you if you don't have it.

Or you could (gasp) actually learn/use more than one language at once. Sane people don't switch from one language to another -- they use the best tool for the job, when it's needed. I probably use between four and eight dif

When I was in fourth grade, my teacher pulled my father aside and told him, "I think your son may have ADD or ADHD." His response: "No." While I understand his desire to believe I was okay, I wasn't. I've had extreme difficulty focusing sin

The fast-paced tech industry often has this effect on its devotees. People like Alex live their lives at an accelerated rate. They work hard. They make their money at a young age. They compare themselves and their lives to the people around

I've known the Simple folk for a long time. The complexity and inherent safety designed into their product makes every other bank look like a joke. They still have to rely on banking partners to store the money, but they've gone to great pa
