I thought the article was "alright" My impression is sometimes people see a certain topic and want to talk about it and upvote. Regardless of it being high quality article or novel. Not saying that's right but it happens. And

With or without the opening statement being true, which is a matter of opinion, it's a pretty interesting city sociologically.

Business Insider: we haven't read these documents and are "combing through them" right now, but they're explosive!

I’ve found Ray Dalio’s macro pontificating to be kind of useless. Remember when we were having a “beautiful deleveraging.” Now we’re in a “great sag.” Makes more sense to me that these guys are just talking their book at a conceptual level

For #3 you can go to their profile and block them if they're really worth it. I think you only get like 100 blocks and then you just have to suffer through the motivational inspiration-porn quotes :)

Thanks. TIL this is a real thing. Let the bilateral negotiations begin!

Now what? Is there a legal designation or meaning to currency-manipulator I'm unaware of, or is this basically like the Chinese designating Trump a "name-caller."

There's like one sentence of "because I said so" analysis in this article. The idea that Facebook is dying because MAU is growing faster than DAU is basically ... dumb. Both numbers are going up. Facebook users are growing. F

For me it's mostly that I don't like overly-promotional liars. And the "saving the world" schtick wears thin. Hate would be a strong word though.

I don't think this would help our social fabric, which the article says Google is "tearing apart." Why do we need to break Google's monopoly on search again? Which they don't actually have.

Of course they are! There are user researchers, people looking for spam and abuse, people tagging data, among other things who are absolutely looking at your: private messages, search queries, profiles viewed, Alexa conversations, Tinder me

The large price fluctuations that bitcoin has are also undesirable for some.

I think what gets me is the juxtaposition of the brand name and this functionality. Superhuman sounds like it should be all about making the email sender more productive. And not about tracking time-stamped geotags of my actions as the rece

How about everyone gets free money, and the student loan holders can use it to pay off their degrees?

Yeah, don't buy it on Amazon if you don't literally want to purchase the knock-off version.

Would be interested in seeing some kind of legislation where content moderation jobs that deal with XYZ categories of content must be compensate at least some % downtime/recovery. So e.g. in an 8 hour day you can only spend 4 hours a d

Good question. I think it will get plenty of hate, but most countries don't have the level of Facebook hate that the USA/Europe has, and lots of people don't particularly care about the crusade against Facebook. It would prob

Fake news is a pendulum. Now we have it, we start to know what it is, we start to understand how it's created and distributed. Things can start swinging the other way. But this takes time. If you really wanted to end fake news and had

Pretty sure the idea is not to be Netflix and offer a family plan, it's to sell a suite of features into small businesses and corporations. E.g. They just acquired HelloSign. You should move to iCloud if you absolutely want those featu

So, what's the normative suggestion here? All content on user-generated websites should be moderated for truth and anything edited, editorialized, fictional, or not strictly representing reality should be removed? Or is the idea that o

Good read. I'm glad people are working on these challenges. Facebook gets the most press coverage and is the biggest platform, but if free expression and assembly is to occur online you kinda have to figure out approaches for these kin

Not that it'd be easy but I imagine that you can steal their customers by adding chat rooms and integrations slowly to some other type of software, rather than a more direct angle where you have to win at one of those two moments.

I would be curious to learn/hear some of the backstory on how they picked 3, since where to draw the line with freemium seems like it's hard to get right.
