content but also better ad targetting by better understanding all of the content that users post

the tools but not necessarily the data, presumably they have internally trained versions

Meta seems to be doing fine financially besides the VR money pit. Also in a weird way having TikTok around just bolsters their case against any sort of anti trust enforcement. That…

privacy and security is a pendulum, it swung hard to security post 9/11 and is swinging hard towards privacy currently. Id be surprised if we ever actually reach a happy middle gro…

anecdotally from a few folks I know who work there it does get completely deleted after a month or two I believe. Like you said between GDPR, the FTC settlement and just general ba…

yep, its because of the FCO ruling. The other thing I think everyone spouting money are missing is that FB would much rather be able to use the link between your FB and IG accounts…

yep, a lot of this is fallout from the financial crisis and all of the bank mergers that have happened. A number of the big banks i worked with a few years ago had sooo many differ…

I have worked a lot with lobbyists and part of the reason is that the tech companies dont work together. When the banks or oil companies go to capital hill their lobbyists are gene…

yep I think alternatives have improved but pre covid i traveled all over the world for work and the big thing was Zoom worked the best on iffy connections and also played best with…

Gold is certainly more popular in India then the western world but most married people are walking around wearing a wedding ring and id guess the majority of those are gold? Gold a…

I agree with your points and I am generally pro encrypted messaging. However, I am a bit concerned that FB messenger going encrypted means you will get all the same algorithmic boo…

I guess it is not the efficient market in the sense of valued according to the underlying financials. But to me at least it is "efficient" in the sense that the price is now basica…

Ya anecdotal for sure but a ton of my friends bought their significant others some new fangled thing they only heard about because they saw it on Instagram. HN loves to bash market…

It is going to be interesting to see how these big tech companies deal with so much localized regulation and enforcement be it anti trust or privacy. Ironically a lot of that will …

I dont feel particularly strongly one way or another on the encryption debate but everyone always points at the fact that crimes like child exploitation have existed for forever or…

Ignoring for a second the NSA sitting in the middle sucking up everything I think a lot of this is just down to domestic law enforcement wanting the status quo. Currently you send …

This is my issue with the act, it doesnt spell out who would be subject to this rather leaves it up to the DOJ to spell out the rules later. I am probably in the minority here on H…

I suspect you are right and most of the top talent is in major cities but even then most faang jobs are in the bay area. Anecdotally (and with all the caveats that go with that) I …

In high school i took a robotics course that took up part of the school day and went later than typical school. Your comment resonated with me because what i found great about it w…

I imagine there are some, a lot of factory operation optimization uses heavy operations research which isnt a huge jump to some sort of AI/ML

all the new crypto exchanges popping up and anything that can convert between fiat and crypto

I agree however as someone who works with a number of H-1Bs (who id argue should be here) my concern is always the collateral damage. But regardless either way things seem broken

yep, as a consultant who has done work in the automotive industry you need to show up in one of their vehicles

I am just hoping self driving cars come out in the next 5-10 years and hopefully that expands the geographic area you can reasonably live in and still commute to work.

This, I think letting individuals/teams figure it out is the best option. Some projects, and even specific times within a project, call for being physically with the team and other…
