"Business" or "money sink"? Everything about this "boom" from 2012 on was, from a market perspective, about as artificial as you could get. At least the events leading up to the .C…

When dealing with particularly toxic people I find the exponential backoff to be an excellent strategy. In my case, I hate cutting people off because I know people can change. What…

Yep. Delegation is part of the job but you don't get to delegate consequential executive decisicions to something as capricious as an internet poll...

"Best thing Elon should have done was to focus only on the technical aspects of Twitter and let some more level-headed less-emotional people manage the editorial aspects." That did…

No.

Wonderful! I've worked in the mental health field for years and when it comes to treating diseases like schiziphreina the go to model has been to give drugs to manage symptoms. The…

I wonder what Jack Dorsey has to say about all of this.

"Get off my porch, whippersnappers, etc etc." I'm only in my early 30's and share this sentiment already. Tech sure moves fast...

For me, a lot of the value add comes from being able to open up files from a terminal, almost instantly, and make changes way quicker than I would through an IDE. It's also much fa…

If you have an Android device I'd recommend trying an app called "Vim Master". It's a very simple app and something you can play with during a break but if you can master the 'adva…

Musk himself tweeted that hate speech is free speech. The only catch was that it would be demonitized with reduced reach. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1593673339826212864 Ev…

Turns out that strategy doesn't work so well when it's from a celebrity's account.

And a swastika could just be something posted by some ignorant man with a mental illness and no interest in advicating for violence yet it gets censored anyway. I don't have a prob…

Yeah. Impossible to write off harrassment and doxxing to "It's just a website!"

Let it be known. Elon Musk banned Kanye even though he didnt break the law. Elon Musk lied when he said he's a "free speech absolutist".

Dear lord! Talk about an own goal...

"Why is it crypto people are so gross?" https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/knowledge/ot... Because some people do not give a fuck. We're talking about people who suppo…

"Not all emotion is fake..." Agreed. But when people are incentivized to show outward indicators of certain emotions, people aren't particularly good mind readers which makes it ha…

"To be clear, I’m mostly talking about following TV and internet newscasts here. This post isn’t an indictment of journalism as a whole. There’s a big difference between watching a…
