Sir (Madame?), I ask you one simple question: Was Twitch built in 10 years, or over just a few? Steam was built since I was in FUCKING high school. Im old now, well over 30. Apples…

It’s just luck. I mean, if I was a storyteller, what story would I have to tell if there was no story. They hit. It’s sort of like we all hold Golden dice, so we marveled, by our o…

I’ll grant you immature , nothing else.

I’m so misread, Twitch is a lot of luck, so is all of these companies. Show me the the source code for luck. I don’t give a fuck if you leaked a video streaming crud app code lol.

Does it take a genius to figure out how to build twitch? It’s a modern crud app with video streaming.

What the hell do we do in this industry if that’s not the case?

Every book can be digitally taken out.

Actually he was promoted to C-Level, CII, Chief Imperial Intern ‘For Life’. It’s a great accomplishment to be be fair, comes with a lifetime weekly stipend and access to whatever F…

It’s because that blockchain someone made is being used as national currency somewhere (and contributing needlessly to global energy consumption), and because that photo sharing si…

It’s hard to find the proper analogy since the phenomenon is so new. On a legal basis, it was actually hard to build a case against the Mafia until racketeering laws were passed. I…

We were explicitly dividing the union legislatively due to slavery. This was an existential threat to the whole concept of America. I can promise you the vast majority of Americans…

To add to your point, there’s not a soul in tech that ever went ‘I wonder if the results of this A/B test are ethical?’. Our industry is just not built with this sensibility, the s…

She’ll get a book deal, it’ll be okay. I’m certain she thought this through and has political connections that she made deals with. Remember, attacking social media is the same as …

What do you expect from an industry that will sell any bullshit composite metric to indicate YoY growth?

To be honest, in certain enterprises (probably many startups as well) there’s just no need for UI other than tables. We get an api, mangle the result into some grouping, and then d…

We almost went down the ‘this is a subterfuge to delete whistleblower evidence’ rabbit hole.

It was interesting to visit the subreddits of random countries (eg /r/Mongolia) and see the top posts all asking if fb/Insta/WhatsApp being down was local or global. I got the impr…

I think the mods throttled logged in users to discourage over-discussion and thread creation. There’s no rhyme or reason for read-only to be snappy and logged-in to be crawling.

And how simple it actually was, just turn off the sites. Like a giant global, societal parental control setting. Here I thought that this snake had wrapped itself entirely around a…

Yes people said the same thing about television and by and large most people think Television had some pretty bad side effects. A dumber society, all kinds of depression began mani…

The main issue with WhatsApp as the primary platform of communication is that it’s exclusive. You can’t actually switch to Signal and continue with business because you’d need ever…
