It makes a lot of sense for Benesse to get into online education, let's see if they can do something that works with Udemy. It might help Udemy as well to get Berlitz co-branding on some content on the platform and start a path that's almost like Masterclass but instead of curated around industry legends, it's brands and institutions.

Also, having visited Benesse House museum this winter, I'd be really excited to see content come out of this that covers more of the art on Naoshima in a highly accessible way.

I would generally agree with everything you said here except that Option 1 is really just Option 3 except the "way they see fit" is very minimal. Moderation still exists on those "unmoderated" sites. No right-minded person supports completely unmoderated content like no right-minded person supports completely unregulated free speech. Child porn is the most obvious example of an exception to both. We can all agree that we don't want to see that and don't want to host it on our platforms. Once you accept that, it basically becomes a question of negotiating where that line is. It is reminiscent of that old inappropriate Churchill joke about haggling over price [1].

I do not think that the companies that have the funding and technical ability to effectively astroturf facebook/twitter et al, would be rendered even mildly impotent were there 3x as many social media companies as there are now.

Its a systemic failure on the way these companies act, not just a lack of competition.

When facebook is showing friends and family that I made a comment, they fit fairly within the scope of a neutral carrier, akin to a phone call or text message.

When facebook republishes a NY Times post or headline, on the official NYTimes facebook page, they are acting as a republisher, and so be it. Any user will associate the story with the NY Times.

But when facebook publishes my post and headline, on the official "MY Times" facebook page, they are taking my content, and publishing it, as a publisher. And they are doing so, in a manner that intentionally gives me the same appearance of gravitas as the NY Times.

When Facebook then decides to show my post instead of the NY Times post to other people in their feed, they are then curating and distributing this novel content. That is to say, they are publishing this content, as a publisher.

Your 3 options fail to differentiate between this nuanced but important difference.

Facebook should not be required to police the content between individuals posting as individuals.

And Facebook should not be held responsible for redirecting traffic to established publishers and content providers.

But claiming that individuals, who are unable to publish without Facebook's platform, are also publishers, and therefore Facebook is not liable for their content, despite Facebook's actions to then selectively curate, distribute, and, in a word, publish their novel content, is not the spirit of 230.

ARDS is not permanent lung damage. You may recover lung function after ARDS. You will not recover from permanent lung damage. It will even deteriorate and your prognosis is less than 5 years to live. Stratification is a red herring, but feel free to do so.
Sure, but if one group is operating in an unacceptable fashion along the lines of "We're stealing candy from babies!" and the other is "We're not only a risk to your business, your customers, and you, but also to the entire world, and also we have actually pretty legitimate ties to murder and also coups and also maybe war crimes a little," the first is child's play in comparison.
As a n00b just out of bootcamp I found it very handy in showing other technical folks that I can build something front to back that is ... competent enough given my experience at the time.

Considering the volume of similar bootcamp folks out there, I think it helped a great deal in that context.

Recruiters looked for fun more than anything else, but I don't think it made any impression on them / made any difference with recruiters.

Well according to some of the other comments you can shop around for a "free" mattress because it's not worth returning. Just make you destroy it by leaving it somewhere, maybe like a vacation home.

Is there a better example of this than Epstein? To get away with one of the worst crimes for decades and once caught, to get a penalty that would be considered a slap on the wrist for tax evasion or drug possession, much less what he did.

There are teenagers who were dating someone with a slightly too large age gap who spent far more time in prison than Epstein did.

COVID-19 is like comparing AIDS to HIV. HIV causes AIDS without medication. Similarly, SARS-CoV-2 causes COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 is very spreadable, and in 18% of cases, turns into COVID-19. COVID-19 is life-threatening.

15 to roughly 25 is the period when the frontal cortex is maturing, and also the period where peer influence has the most impact on development. The frontal cortex is highly involved in silencing the fear response, and in determining the socially correct response to threats, particularly threats towards a person's social position (a common theme for studies around violence).

1) I have not read any study however that looked at periods of social uncertainty, but it sounds plausible.

2) My guess would go towards the relation of frontal cortex maturation. Before fully maturation, other parts of the brain "step in" and handle some of the frontal cortex' role, but by around age 25 they stop doing that.
Our original business was bootstrapped with no outside investment so we know that growth model very well. In fact that bootstrapping allowed us to build DigitalOcean when no VCs were interested in funding us by self-funding through the profits from our original business.

The problem with the approach you detailed is that it is based on growth rate. If you have more customers coming to you than you have cash on hand to buy servers, you will be forced to turn customers away.

So if you are growing rapidly you will need outside investment, whether equity or debt, in order to grow the business.

In our case we raised equity that helped us to secure additional debt terms and also due to our high growth after product market fit we also needed additional cash to continue to build out our operations.

I'm a fan of bootstrapping businesses and not raising outside capital unless it is necessary, but in our case the choice was to raise capital or turn away customers.

You may be missing the point. When you look past the double standard, the criminality (collusion, corruption, embezzlement, lies, favorable pardons and lack of prosecution) is disproportionately on one side.

And of course there’s the tiny detail that Trump had to conquer the corruption of the Republican Party first to even broach the Democrats. See all the #nevertrump senators that prioritized #resisting Trump in spite of their constituents and his support amongst the party.
Go back to the Phoenix BIOS. The original IBM BIOS interface would be covered by this, I expect. So if IBM could prevent BIOS clones, we never would have had the PC-compatible business, and IBM would have been able to prevent PCs from ever being powerful enough to encroach on their mainframe business (apart from Apple, I guess). Since copyright expires after 95 years, we could have had PC clones starting in... 2076.

I prefer the way our industry evolved without interfaces being copyrightable.

I know this is about mail-order mattress companies. I have always thought that one of these Mattress store chains are going to be busted for being involved in a drug ring or something like that. There are way more locations than there needs to be. Especially with all of these online mattress brands popping up. There always seems to be 1 guy working and no one in the stores, ever. At any of these locations. I don't understand how a business model like that can last. But they're still kickin'

Eye contact isn't reliable. I suspect it can't really be something software can safely use as input, even if it wasn't a vision issue.

It's pretty common for motorcyclists or bicyclists to make eye contact with a car driver who proceeds to pull out in front of them anyway.

This is probably in part from car driver brains not interpreting bikes as physical threats. It doesn't have to be deliberate. It can also be the driver scanning for "car" and not seeing "car".

A self driving car is on the other side of that size equation, but eye contact might also be assumed by a pedestrian to mean that you will stop. Especially if a "driver" makes eye contact who isn't driving.

In the end it's best to slow down and not assume. Humans often make dangerous assumptions, for example going around blind turns or over crests too fast to avoid something that might be there. Most of the time it's ok but eventually somebody gets killed. The rational thing to do is make the software safer than humans, not emulate them.
TBH I think it's a bit stretchy to put that into Capitalism, but yeah that's a good start.

You are right, there are some cases where vector graphics are not as good as traditional bitmap graphics (especially when the vector graphics weren't build for the size they are being rendered at).

But as soon as you don't know the pixel density of the target screen, vector graphics produce much better results compared to the time you would have to invest in perfect bitmap graphics.

So if you are designing a website (potentially viewed on devices with different pixel densities), vector graphics are likely to outperform bitmap graphics.
You can't live in the modern world today without understanding math.

You also can't live in the modern world without language and the ability to communicate.

To me math is a language. Different than our verbal languages, but it is still a language none the less and essential.

Programming to me is also a language. And it is as essential today as math was originally. There was a long period of history where lower economic classes were prevented from learning and educating themselves and the fact that we have education that is subsidized by the government to various levels in all major countries is something that we take for granted, but it wasn't a right that our ancestors had.

The way schools force all kids to learn math, I feel is how schools today should force all kids to learn programming and computer science.
OK...that's one side of the story. But is cost of living really being compared fairly? One $200 smart phone now does the job that in 1985 required a clock radio, a walkman, a CD player, a word processor, a printer, a fax machine, a telephone, a calculator, an address book and a voice recorder. How does this account for the multiplicative effect of technology on purchasing power?
I thought 'the other' meant an unrelated thing, so it wasn't clear.
I share the exact same sentiment as you, but I don't know if I'm being fair to how ugly a unmoderated forum can be.

For example, spamming advertisements in comment sections is completely legal speech. So would be typing in gibberish and hitting enter a thousand times. But both of these things would ruin the point of the forum.

Even if I compare Hacker News to Reddit, the former is consistently high quality while the later is 95% garbage in my opinion. Why? Probably because Hacker News is far more highly curated.

At the same time, I feel like YouTube has crossed the line with idea suppression. YouTube gives the impression that it's an open non-biased platform that links you to content you're interested in. But there are several egregious examples where popular videos with near-mainstream "conservative" viewpoints are suppressed into oblivion (e.g. appears on the 12th page of results even when you search for the video title verbatim and it has millions of more views than every other "relevant" result).

But, just because I can give examples of things which cross the line (suppressing popular conservative videos) vs things that don't (suppressing random gibberish, suppressed bot-created videos)... I don't think I could clearly articulate any rules to say exactly where that line is in a way that is scalable. YouTube created YouTube... I might just have to defer to their moderation policies while hoping another competitor comes along to challenge them.
FWIW I had a Leesa and ended up returning it. That went fine and dandy, everything worked as they promised with no frills.

What I actually want to share with you all here is to go to a mom-n-pop mattress store in your local area. Find your local mattress NERD and buy a bed from them. They're going to have all kinds of wild stuff you can try and will do a great job of selling you the right bed for you (and your partner).

My wife and I ended up finding this guy - https://www.youtube.com/user/MattressToGo - and watching some of his (surprisingly popular) videos you will see he is legitimately a mattress nerd.

Coincidentally we lived about an hour from his brick and mortar location so we drove out to check out the showroom and ended up buying a mattress on the spot. It took a few days to arrive but it's without a doubt my favorite mattress.

I love the convenience afforded by these modern startup companies but there is really something to be said for going to someone who has made one thing their entire life's misson and letting them help you out.
You're bearish on profitable SAAS companies growing at 20%+ year with huge total addressable markets? D.O. is clearly not growing like DataDog and Zoom, but it has a nice niche, a good rep, and borrowing cheap money to grow should make everyone happy, including the common stock owners.

Does DO still disconnect your droplet from the Internet for three hours if you get DDoSed?

That's what made me switch from DO to AWS a few years ago. I used my droplet as an IRC bouncer to hide my home IP address. I'm an op in an IRC channel and someone started spamming racial slurs, so I banned them. They responded with a DDoS. I could tell my connection was a bit slow, but nothing crashed, but then it dropped offline and I got an e-mail from DO saying they're taking my droplet offline to protect their network.

Made me realize that I could never use them for any sort of game server, since the skids love to fire up LOIC whenever they get upset.

If the "they" are the people supporting the punishment and torture of someone for reporting on corporate incompetence, and the manner of punishment is extremism, then your rationale leads to the extremism you want to punish. By this rationale, society deserves the extremism it gives rise to through its treatment of individuals who were not extremist before the treatment.

Don't blame the people with low end jobs. I read an argument once using a public school janitor as an example. Someone argued that it was his responsibility to get an education, training, or whatever so he could get a better job. While that's true to some extent, it's also true that the school would just hire the next person they could find for the same price - they have an expectation that it's a low paying job and they've budgeted for it. Individuals can do better, but our institutions have come to depend on the disparity.
