It's no surprise that the internet is full of "meta debate" and "social shaming" - arguing about the terms of debate and who can participate, and not over any core issues. For deba…

If you're working 12 hrs a day, 6 days a week, and your manager is calling you a slacker, then quit.

You may think your hyper growth startup needs 100% of your time, but that pressure is all in your head. Whether you work yourself to the point of exhaustion, or you take it at a re…

No, "making money" and "hustling" can never be a hobby.

> Again, you're not refuting anything that anybody here actually thinks. And you aren't refuting what I said. How is this any different than a book publisher deciding what books to…

1. https://xkcd.com/605/ Hard drives are dropping in price. That doesn't mean they will ever be zero. 1a. Youtube has other expenses besides hard drives. Bandwith. Server infrastru…

I agree with you. They shouldn't. I'm playing devils advocate to make a point. You can't expect websites to treat all opinions as equal. Even 4chan has moderators. Youtube only dif…

It totally does. Why is such a big chunk of our culture is hosted by a private company?

You can decide to not watch youtube. TV stations decide what shows they want to air, and which ones they don't. And nobody calls it censorship. Youtube feels like public infrastruc…

My advice would be to use https://indieweb.org/POSSE That approach might be more agreeable with your label-mates. I wouldn't put covers in the videos at all. You're right, that's a…

Youtube is a private company and can do whatever they want with their own website. Nobody's stopping makers of these videos from hosting the videos themselves. This is not censorsh…

The linked article is not criticizing SimCity. This is an architecture student who made something unusual with it, and finds a hidden meaning in his project. Nobody is saying that …

I fear you are encouraging people not to vote, without suggesting some alternative form of civic participation. Which means the politicians you dislike have even more free reign to…

I'm a devoted listener to the author's radio show, (and the radio station it's broadcast on. Anyone in the NYC metro area should check out WFMU!) It's hard to find tech industry cr…
