You don't have to "do your part". Your part is living a healthy life. Take whatever steps necessary to make that happen, even if that means cutting contact with your parents.
That's kinda a crappy message to be spreading on Mother's Day for people who don't have parents (or aren't in contact with them) tbh.
If you have a good relationship with your mother. If she was/is abusive and you're not comfortable talking to her, feel absolutely no guilt today.
> As bad as your relationship is with your parents. Once they're gone, you're pretty much alone. Absolutely untrue. If your parents are toxic and damaging, you should cut them from your life. Some people can't live…
I find that I don't get very many "bad" hires. It's pretty easy to tell if someone is a good developer or not. In the rare case that someone bad slips through, it's easy enough to fire them. That's only happened to me a…
If only people who agree to it make it through, then I'm not surprised the feedback is positive. What you're missing is all of the senior people who would never do this (which is a lot of them). I'll also add that it's…
> It doesn’t undermine the grandparent’s point that the BBC is a different kind of organisation to Fox News. I guess that depends on if you think making one of the worst pedophiles in history a network star for decades…
I think it's important to understand that you're asking candidates to burn "social capital" by arranging those introductions. I've worked for pretty high end people (successful founders, ceos...). I'm not going to call…
In addition to all of the very dystopian examples given in this post, there are other non-technical, super-dystopian things that have been popping up as "trends" in the tech industry. Ever heard of top-grading? It's the…
Is there a downside to recognizing when the media deliberately deceives their audience? We should do more of that, not less. These media companies do not have your best interest at heart.
I think you should reconsider including the BBC. They most definitely intentionally deceived people for a very long time with regard to Jimmy Savile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Savile_sexual_abuse_scan...
BBC doesn't belong on that list either. They covered for Jimmy Savile's pedophilia for decades. Fun fact: the head of the BBC left as their cover-up came to light after Savile's death. He is now the CEO of The New York…
That's the definition of conflict of interest! You can't sell tech to the candidates and the election at the same time.
The conflict of interest is what you're calling a "conspiracy theory". It's a known fact that there is conflict of interest between the Buttigieg campaign and Acronym/Shadow. That's not a "theory", it is indeed a fact.
Are you saying that people who have a problem with this conflict of interest are the equivalent of flat earthers? That's not a viable position to take.
Records filed by the estate on Friday indicate that Southern Country had $693,157 in assets when Mr. Epstein died on Aug. 10. Then, in mid-December, the estate transferred $15.5 million to Southern Country in two…

There are other ways Google "leverages" its market share that are questionable. Look at the recent controversy about making all search results look like ads. They are also making it harder for ad blockers to exist in…
Apple makes bad internet software. It’s ok at software that runs without any services but anything that requires internet access is a disaster. Even their “good” software is only good if you use exactly how Apple wants.
That's incorrect. Most of those services were using collaborative filtering social data to drive their recommendations.
I believe that they wanted to hire you. There were a ton of music recommendations available at the time. Every music service had them: Rhapsody, Yahoo! Music Unlimited, Last.fm, Mog, iTunes, Grooveshark... Echo Nest's…
Spotify acquired Echo Nest in 2014. Spotify was already wildly successful at that point, and were latest in a long line of music streaming services that came before them. They also already had recommendations. It was…
I think the problem is that you're associating people calling out media bias and corruption with Trump. I explicitly said the white house has issues too. Major issues, tons of them. That doesn't absolve the mainstream…
A far greater concern than conspiracy theorists getting taken seriously are actual conspiracies perpetrated by mainstream media outlets. I gave two examples elsewhere in the thread: Weinstein and Epstein. Those aren't…
I've never heard manufacturing consent used like that. Do you have any examples of what you're talking about? Genuinely curious.
