With Google's recent monopoly status being a topic a discussion recently. This article from 2017 argues that we should nationalize these platforms in the age of platform capitalism. Ahead of its time, in fact the author predicted the downfall of Ello.

The user with an AI copyright notice on every one of their posts is one of my favorite "gimmicks".

Reddit search has always been quite poor, at least for me. Not sure how AI is going to improve that haha

The first time I saw this term used was on twitter, from a somewhat funny twitter troll.

I've been thinking about it as well, I think if I were to do it I'd probably post and immediately close the app, and disable notifications, to prevent addiction. Go for it, it might be fun who knows.

Yes, and I usually click out of curiosity further reinforcing the algorithm.

A few people have had similar thoughts and deeper conversations including a few comments from their CTO can be found over on hackernews.

I've posted about this last year. However, during this time they've managed to keep it up and have risen their salaries. The article is an interesting read that goes about their reasoning for paying everyone the same salary.

It's quite rare to see a company pay every employee the same salary, even rarer to have salaries this high. Very interested in how long they'll be able to keep this up.

I found out what generally makes me feel good day to day, then I decided to pretty much eat those same foods everyday. Downside is that it's probably not as varied as the ideal diet, upside is that it's standardized which makes planning what you're going to eat easy. I've also found that I'm able to make more progress in the gym from a standardized diet.

If I had to guess, it's because of money. There was more incentive at the time to grow fast and try to maximize profit than to limit growth and potential profits in case of a market downturn. Tim slightly explains what happened.

For a while now, we've been spending way more money than we earn, investing in the next evolution of Epic and growing Fortnite as a metaverse-inspired ecosystem for creators. I had long been optimistic that we could power through this transition without layoffs, but in retrospect I see that this was unrealistic.

I feel like back in March 2022 Epic did not really anticipate market conditions to continue to worsen. Big miscalculation on their part.

This will be very useful, thanks for sharing.

Although, the company is quite small and the barrier to entry is quite high. It is still very interesting to see companies setting set wages for every employee across the board and being this transparent about it. The article goes into their reasoning for doing this, definitely a good read.
