I think that removes agency and responsibility from the public.

The truth is that people like outrage and outrageous content.

Boring, even handed content does not get engagement.

We have to call out human nature to be able to reckon with it.

I agree the world was better with chronological feeds.

But humans prefer to spent more time on enraging/outrageous content.

So in a competitive social media environment - the platform with the most engaging content will win.

When TikTok launched short form Video - instagram’s choice was to copy or lose.

Cloudflare didn’t join MongoDB, did they?

As much as I wish that were the case, the recent episode with students and their deportation suggests otherwise.

I think that almost definition implies you didn't post anything that disqualifies you. It's probably really easy to circumvent too if you're committed to (e.g., deactivate your account)

If it's not diet and exercise, what is it? Obesity is a relatively new problem. GLP-1 also seems to work - primarily through addressing diet. So again, curious what you mean when you say "diet and exercise" do not work.

It is an interesting space - where do you think it'll play out from here? Lots of money quietly flowing into the space from big players.

TikTok forced instagram to go down the route of short form videos that source content from outside your immediate network.

The most attention capturing innovations will take the market. If Facebook didn’t stay on top of it, someone else would.

Just in time works until it doesn't. For the last decade plus companies made outsized profit by squeezing their supply chains to the bare minimum.

Then covid hit and it all fell apart. Companies that had resilient supply chains made outsized profit during this time.

Companies are all about making bets on where they make more money. If you were in the hot seat to maximize quarterly profits would you make the first or second bet?

A lot of people were smithing in the English world. Or perhaps they were just especially fecund.

I'm not white and I don't find it awful at all working with white men.

From a purely logical point of view - there's not much point to anything humans do.

Can you break down what the logic of pride should be? Any who determines what that should is. You seem to imply that there's an objective standard for that.

Not sure yet. I got a starling hub, which makes my google devices HomeKit compatible. So maybe something by Abode... haven't thought it through yet.

Glad the industry is moving towards Matter / Thread - but things not quite there yet.

Pride or shame is by definition a feeling not legal culpability. A feeling.

Human brains seem wired to have strong feelings about their kin or tribe. So, yes, I would think having neutral feelings about your parents would be a hard thing to understand for most people.
