I respect Nilay’s ability to be firm and ask questions he knows are going to upset his interviewees without actually becoming confrontational.

Edit: sorry I jumped to conclusions inappropriately

What’s this from?

Space Billionaires ✊

Except he’s saying that let’s just keep extracting value and ride this baby into the dirt, rather than advocating for societal change.

Okay, but if you sell cows, and all your cows escape or die, your business is still ruined

Unfortunately the best we can hope for is to detach from its shambling corpse until it exhausts its forward momentum over a decade or two and gets partitioned out at auction to some VC scavenger.

Since I don’t see it addressed yet:

“luke” derived from “lew” or “lewk” or “leuk”, in Middle English, which meant “tepid” (slightly warm). This in turn came from the Old English adverb “hlēowe”, which means “warm or sunny”. Finally, “hlēowe” came from the Proto-Germanic *hlēwaz, meaning “warm”.

The word “lukewarm” popped up around the 14th century as meaning “slightly warm”. Within two centuries, it also began having a figurative meaning, that of “lacking in enthusiasm”.

You make a body and gender for yourself in dreams?

To what end?

It is how it works if you are told to make a PowerPoint for senior leadership on how to squeeze the most possible short term money out of this situation

Growth hacking. Shake loose more market share with the “FREE!!” version and then the frog boil

It’s time for corporate IT to block that download

Agreed on all points. I also wish for a client that can seamlessly integrate with Pixelfed, Mastodon, etc. (a unified front end that has a public plugin repo with style info for any federated services)

Everyone talks a big documentation game and then hoards their personal notes like state secrets

Thank you for this

I would have guessed “schemæ”
