I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

There's a lot to be said about identity, solidarity. But a simple place to start: the people who are willing to fight for their neighbors when their neighbors have different problems have a very, very good chance of having neighbors to fight with when you all share problems

In the last five years, we've gone from "employees will never have to go into an office" to "employees need to be in the office because creative and innovative work can only be done face-to-face between humans" to "lol we don't need humans"

Note that this isn’t a general ban on such behavior, but rather a condition of this specific merger that created a new industry leader. Anti-trust precedent often puts additional restrictions on the top players, unique to them, to prevent them from unilaterally suppressing competition or speech.

It prevents a loophole where two different ad-buying intermediaries (which are forbidden from collusion & price fixing) merge to a single entity, allowing them to “collude” without consequence. Their clients can still choose to opt out, but the intermediary cannot make that decision for all of them.

Am I reading this wrong? Because it reads to me that they’re only banning it when it’s organized by the advertising group itself, but individual clients still retain the choice to opt out.

A screenshot of the FTC site linked, containing the text: “The terms of the FTC’s proposed consent order include a series of provisions that would eliminate Omnicom’s ability to deny advertising dollars to media publishers based on their political or ideological viewpoint, except at the express and individualized direction of Omnicom’s advertiser customers.” End of last sentence highlighted.

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the *bad* guys.

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

I'm obviously not the first to make this observation, but: if we want to bring back American manufacturing, tariffing most inputs but exempting final consumer goods is just about the exact opposite thing we should be doing?

The ACA was cool because before the ACA EVERY SINGLE CHILD WITH CANCER hit their annual and lifetime limits almost immediately and were denied insurance for the rest of their lives and after the ACA that’s illegal.

all software companies are either slides or docs, no middle ground this maps to “engineering/product driven cultures” as docs companies, and “sales/marketing driven cultures” as slides companies

I love the message of this article. Instead of organizations chasing after “10x” “rockstar” engineers, they instead should focus on createing a culture and development pipeline where the average developer does great work. I’ve seen many orgs with great engineers stymied by bad dev tools & processes

The great insight in the corporate and government push for RTO is that most organizations don’t know how to measure productivity or impact of knowledge work. Even Google. So productivity boils down to hours spent in an office building.

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.
