Silicon Valley: “I’m not saying we should murder the competition, because that would be illegal. But is there some way we could … well .. maybe … hmm … I’m sure you’ll think of something!”

I would love to move to Vienna. Really, I’d sell my house and go right now if I could. I can’t. Immigration and language barriers alone would prevent (even though I have family there). My point is just that Vienna doesn’t have to deal with

I’ve never known a security team to be in the position to say “no.” The role of security teams vary a lot from one organization to another. But generally they can make you aware of the tradeoffs you are making, or serve as a kind of quality

Regulatory teams are about external compliance. That’s different from “chief ethicist.” It’s a little unclear what this person was doing. But ensuring compliance with government regulations was probably not their core function.

For a second, I thought Hepatitis C was some 1980s C dialect that had memory safety issues.

> The Hague district court ordered Shell in 2021 to cut its emissions by 45% by 2030. The company dropped Royal Dutch from its name and moved its headquarters to London the following year Is that a win?

Ok see what they’re doing - they’re taking a position that sounds (and mostly is) horrible. But they putting a poison pill for their opponents to consume: HIV patients have to work. Thats common sense. People with HIV are usually able to wo

Oh wow so that lets them honestly say they have the same value as other shares?

This is strange - I work in insurance, and you really aren’t allowed to do that after the policy is signed. Or at least it’s very tightly controlled and limited to straight up fraud.

Me too! I’ve seen such good come from these sorts of programs! I didn’t want to mentioned it my initial post, but these sorts of programs seem a happy combination of keeping costs down and maximizing autonomy, while focusing on full-time on

I’ve been through this situation with family members. I understand the frustration and agony. I also understand the hesitancy to pay for two months at a “retreat-like inpatient psychiatric facility.” In publicly funded system, it’s likely f

I asked Fable to verify and it absolutely freaked out! I have no idea what any of this stuff even means, but my AI thinks I’m a legend level mathematician!

Wait I read the memo - it said “duty of care.” That’s powerful rhetoric but really narrow and well defined legalese. I checked, and Texas police only have a duty of care in narrow situations: if someone requires emergency medical care, they

I think you intended to respond to a different comment. This is the one about Madison Square Gardens tracking database. The first paragraph does not mention guns. Madison Square Gardens is not a club. And, yes, it is in NYC.

New York City specifically has laws that require establishments to admit journalists and critics. Civil liberties come into play. I can discriminate based on race or sex in who I allow into my house, but not my storefront. Some place have s

That’s not true at all. There are many rules affecting public establishments, including privately owned ones. Your house is your house, but once you establish a venue open to the general public, you have to follow rules.

The child is mentally ill and being treated clinically. Medication, therapy, etc. I’d rather not go too into the clinical details, because I’m not an expert, I’m a parent. Roughly they are having difficulty with emotional regulation and pro

Ok so it’s basically a political startup. It sounds like once the party gets actual influence, its real funding will be determined by the Swedish people. Doesn’t this make the situation less harmful, or at least fundamentally different from

No personal device - easy and done. The result is extreme social isolation, but sometimes that’s a cost worth paying. Teachers do not generally monitor computer use during class time. They don’t have the capacity. Chromebook’s are necessary

I’m glad the responses to my comment are personal horror stories, because my comment is a personal horror story. It makes sense. I’m dealing with a mentally ill adolescent addicted to very toxic content. You grew up in an oppressive environ

The local public school gives a Chromebook they must use for class. Not optional. More broadly your advice is very out of touch with modern life. Don’t let them go to the library? Or summer camp? How am I supposed to supervise them 24/

I get that I really do. For a while our compromise was that our child could go to the library - that way they had access to free information. But after some chats with the librarian, it became clear that wasn’t working. The libraries filter

The friend part is less important than you think. Devices are very personal these days. Most kids are unwilling to hand over their phones and tablets to a trusted friend. It’s like a diary. Even if they are willing, it’s only for a short ti

I say this again and again in various places - something wise needs to be done about children and the internet. Previous interventions have failed miserably. I think the solution is giving parents maximum power: create an immutable record o
