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…

The decade tech lost its way, except TikTok https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/10/10/arts/TIK-TOK....

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

I'd like a better (paid) way to search for medical advice/information

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 t…

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 inspira…

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."

I'll accept my payment in stock.

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 number…

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.

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 a…

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. …

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 abou…

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 tak…

Seriously. It's like they want 4 more years of Trump. It's mind blowing.

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 s…
