Taylor Swift's manager is a woman. And an artist like TS is going to know exactly how it works behind the scenes

Maximizing tax revenue isn't necessarily ideal.

Did you comment on the right article? This seems to have nothing to do with whether the Bloomberg study article is correct or not.

"Self-help might help you, but it also help systems of injustice."

Unfortunately the article did not improve after this.

How does this work for old tweets if a person doesn't accept the new terms?

At this moment in time I think companies can gain a major hiring advantage by simply hiring the best regardless of race/gender. So many large companies are shooting themselves in the foot distorting incentives and saying "no" to people who are the wrong color/gender.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm. Social change can take centuries and I'd argue this trend is moving in the other direction.

It's what gets the clicks.

I wish I could be more helpful, but the one thing I can tell you confidently is that you can't educate your users unless they are coming to your platform seeking an education. The best you can do is just give them a snappy UI where they mindlessly click through the "boring stuff" and a EULA that keeps you legally safe.

Very useless article. "It's hard to count them, so let's just acknowledge the difficulty of the problem instead of solving it."

Hiring is imperfect, and doesn't involve anything bordering on "objective truth".

That does seem pretty different from a subscription.

Go ahead and demonstrate it.

So they don't like that either?

Why do you believe it's good for America?

Why's everybody got to be such critics? Like yeah, of course they are pricing it so some users subsidize the cost for other users. That's not some new or crazy concept.

I think there's more nuance than the cynical answer of making money.

Internally Google has become a "rest and vest" culture. Smart people ship one or two meaningful things per year, and because Google is swimming in cash they don't understand that they are ridiculously slow and inefficient.

So just to get this straight: you argued that Tim Cook only got there via his rich family, even before you knew whether that was true.

This is where TDD folds in on itself. It's nominally about iteration, but requires that you know how the inputs and outputs will look up front before iterating.

Why is that needless to say? It sounds like they gave you a straight answer.

He's pretty into the future of clean energy. If one looks at it just from that perspective and not a moralistic one, I think it means something for him to invest.

I am Jack's compete lack of surprise.

Nit: This is a function of the file system, not the operating system.

I guess that's a "yes"...hopefully?

My guess is Tesla would treat it as the user's fault unless they were defeated in court. It'll be interesting.

I think it was perhaps circulating in the professional networks and rumor mills before. I remember hearing about it a few years ago.

In general that helps with everything.

Accepting feedback is a skill, and a manager has to deal with vastly different skill levels in the people they provide feedback to.

The manager's manager also has to be supportive. I had a manager once who, when one of my directs complained that I was "mean", told the direct that I shouldn't have been so direct. This undermined my ability to give direct feedback, and deprived my employee of the opportunity to practice the skill.

San Francisco's approach to housing is so endlessly entertaining. They want to allow developers to build higher-density dwellings but force them to do so at a loss. Gee, I wonder how many developers will voluntarily lose money.
