They exercised their free speech rights on their platform.

Sorry so which part of Biden or Trump asking for Twitter to review content that is against its own policies isn't free speech?

This is not how Section 230 works at all. The CDA got rid of the neutral platfom requirement. You are spreading misinformation. https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/22/20700099/section-…

It's extremely odd to characterize all modern management as Taylorism from the outset. The post seems to be flogging a strawperson argument and concluding with a summary of what I …

Yes. Also gray areas do exist. This isn't one of them.

The way this is phrased, I expected to learn there was some benefit to a low amount of fraud, as such. There is not. There is a benefit to a high amount of trust, which necessitate…

This is lacks a strong causal analysis. We still don't understand why polls are consistently undershooting Trump support. Given the performance of polls in 2018, it seems highly co…

I don't understand the question. The OP was edited in response to this, but I'm still mystified. I'm not making a particular claim about anything other than the experience of Black…

There are a lot of replies here asking about correlation with non-racial factors such as economics or crime. The fact of the matter is that Blacks in America are poorer, suffer hig…

Agreed. There's very little evidence to support the claims about what is discussed here is what made Stripe successful. Intuitively many of the claims seem true but where is the da…

That's incredibly regressive. Give money to people who will spend it.

What? Who cares about taxes when you don't have cash in your pocket or food on your table

Yeah that's fair but that's not a realistic way to view the cost of a finished consumer product.

COGS for Casper is ~50%, which doesn't quite line up with your $50. I suppose if you mean $50 in raw materials, plus construction costs, then fine, but that doesn't get you to 20x …

I don't think the evidence is that that's the biggest issue in general, and certainly not in this case.

I think the idea is that if you are privileged enough to have the time to be politically engaged, you are morally obligated to use that privilege to make society more just. Failing…

The standard of evidence is lower in civil cases than criminal ones. Taking away someone's bodily autonomy is different than saying you can't have a prominent role at a prestigious…

I don't think the many people who have experienced his abuse directly, or the victims he is trying to minimize, would agree with your assessment of what's important.

Demanding the same standard of evidence we demand in court and science to disrupt human power structures helps those with power retain it and use it against those who have less pow…

I forgot about the shell company bit on their long-term leases. In any case, they are in the business of managing and reselling real estate, whatever the time horizon.

Zoom is also up 50% since it went public in April, and Crowdstrike is up 70%. I don't really get the sense in comparing a bunch of companies with disparate financials and very diff…

Software engineers aren't special. Literally any job that requires a modicum of concentration, whether it's writing marketing copy or doing complex financial forecasts, means that …
