Right to work is pro employee. If unions want membership they shouldn’t be able to coerce it. They should have to earn it and compete for it. If a union can’t survive based on voluntary membership then that tells you something.

Having a lower tax rate is different than paying less tax. Not saying there isn’t something wrong with a lower tax rate, but it’s disingenuous to frame it this way.

The challenge with this framing is that you're equating social media to newspapers which provide editorialization. IIRC, one of the core distinctions that allow many tech companies to avoid liability for consumer generated content is n

Why does an App Store have any say in the content of an online community? I’m sure there is plenty of content on Reddit that Cupertino censors may not like. Can / do they apply similar pressures to other social media companies with iOS

Didn’t LinkedIn lose a lawsuit that forced them to allow scraping? How does that not apply here?

It's hard not to read "sharers are also acceptable" as either: 1) Be a sharer, but prefer givers as friends OR 2) Be a taker.

Wow it’s really creepy that there is a subscribe button that is prefilled with my email address. I realize that sub stack has this information, because I’ve subscribed to other newsletters, but I don’t associate myself with having an accoun

This is one of my all time favorite technical books. I wrote a review of sorts a few years back[0]. It doesn’t cover any deep learning topics, which perhaps dates it at this point, but it gives solid fundamentals on a breadth of techniques

Matt Levine talks a lot about insider trading, and the emphasis he always puts on it is about theft. Insider trading, in the US, isn’t about trading on uncommon knowledge or inferences. That’s actually many professional traders job: informa

I’m sure the true answer is ambiguous, but “personal data” by that definition seems to imply almost any form of account creation. For sure, that seems to imply you can’t use email addresses as identifiers. Maybe it implies that so long as t

Dumb question: can someone explain to me the implications on startups and side projects? Does data mean, any data? If I’m reading that correctly it’s illegal to allow EU users to use any website with a DB that isn’t hosted in the EU. That c

And this is just state surveillance. There’s a guy who’s building a private surveillance network in San Francisco, with the buy in of the District Attorney and local police departments, and a goal of complete surveillance of city streets.
