    The best thing about Dawkins is he’s an Elon Musk fanboy slipping in adoring baseless evidence free sycophancy amidst all the logic and evidence tweets.

    This. It becomes more harmful as things that used to be hard to predict no longer are with standardised tooling and practices.

    Oh, oh, no, wait, "thou shalt colocate around the Scrum board" isn't even the worst Agile dogma. It's this: "thou shalt not do up front planning."

    Ah you see, free markets and free speech are a western notion. You will take time to catch up. Never fear, the almighty algorithm has your back.

    Hey, I'm just a simple mathematician from a third world country but that thing seems a little bit fishy.

    Actually it looks like an Ekranoplan. Maybe. Anyway, Ekranoplans are cool.

    So many self owns born of self pity🤣 - "I love Indian culture and Indian film and Indian music." - "Who’s a better Indian animated character in the last 30 years?" - "I’ve been to India twice.." - "they’re picking the wrong battles." - "criticized for having an Indian character"

    But Andy Lewis gets at it, the Apu controversy is sustained entirely by Simpsons people tripping over themselves in their response. I haven't seen any hyperbole from anyone who brought it up.

    How the fuck hard is it to say "I'm sorry. We're wrong. What was funny 25 years ago no longer cuts it." Evidently really fucking hard if you work on the SImpsons

    One of the funny ironies about is that most of the top people at the show have fallen on their faces in their responses to it and Hank Azaria, who wouldn’t participate in the movie, has been very thoughtful.

    I don’t think anyone at the Simpsons saw my film so they make the same points over & over. Points I have already acknowledged & responded to in a 49 minute documentary that is readily available on iTunes.

    I have nothing useful to say except that SV centric tech twitter is nice but is a fountain of infinite wisdom for the rest of us.

    And so I learned, the manager hierarchy behaves differently when only among themselves. They treat the leafy workers differently, and there are tons of official secrets. It's a very secretive, elite club.

    I’m totally for funding public broadcasting, but also, applying for a tech role at ABC was the most thankless stupid waste of time job application I ever did and I got a form reply six weeks later and that was it.

    Take a look at this infographic which sets out the costs of running - some 21% of budget is getting the content we make to YOU! Ie:Transmission towers alone cost more than $200m a year to maintain! It's a Big Country!!

    One of the worst trends on Twitter is using a human reaction to dismiss a compelling argument. This is powerful and closely argued.

    Y’all might want to start listening to “hysterical women” and victims of emotional/psychological abuse cause that’s what this shit is, and we’ve been saying it for years.

    Twitter is basically big journo led Big Twitter of people thinking they’re having a free exchange of ideas and anything good will go viral so they’ll see it, and all these remarkable and revealing conversations that never filter up.

    I genuinely and truly want to ask him to name not even three, but just one, anything other than Apu Trilogy by Satyajit Ray.

    Yes yes yes! Holocaust denial it puts things in the a context most will understand, eventually we will tackle ‘man with a chart Twitter’. Maybe.

    looks like zuck needs to talk to the moderators of /r/askhistorians, who've realized that there are no good-faith debates about the existence of the holocaust, and thus the only appropriate course of action is to ban holocaust deniers

    Honestly I agree that agile (esp. scrum) is a tool for maintaining mediocrity. You can do better without a set of rules. But you can also disastrously fail. I'll take a by-the-book scrum team any day over some shitty "designed by founder" bro-cess

    Expressions of the American ideal of free speech ignore what Russia, China etc. learned: suppressing free speech is no longer just about shutting down individuals or expressions of ideas, but shaping public (hate this word now) discourse and drowning out truth with multiple lies.

    Replying to @MikeIsaac
    It’s not even Western as the free speech FB espouses is deeply American. Lots of western liberal democracies where denial of holocaust and various genocides are actual crimes, not slaps on the wrists.

    "'free speech' is a largely western notion" No it really isn't, it's just that it has been a while since local reporters in the west, especially in the US, had to weigh it against things like "spreading this story could get someone assaulted or even killed".

    Seeing through FB's muddled doublespeak was my most calming FB moment, because I realized they're dumbly doing the right (imperfect) thing with FB in Brazil and India by throwing pennies at organizations far better suited to reining in the mess.

    Read that interview in light of two pieces that came out today: 1) this story about how a viral WhatsApp hoax (based on a video that didn't call for violence, and probably wouldn't have met FB's threshold for removal) led to mob killings in India

    Kara Swisher is Jake Tapper for tech, except the respect was earned through real insight and a remarkable ability to build bridges and keep up with the valley as it changes and grows in influence. Non-male tech pundits don't get latitude like dumbfounded LIVE on TV from Helsinki.
