I find it odd when people turn businessmen into role models, and this seems to have become more common in the last 5-odd years. It's the same with idolising movie stars and sports stars. None of it should happen, really. 😀

When people come to me for advice, my first reaction is: What makes you think I'm qualified?

Just because I've gotten lucky in business, does that make me qualified to advise you on your career, your life choices, or anything apart from how to get lucky? 😀

There are startup founders, especially people working in the social sector, whom I meet through @RainmatterOrg, and I think they are far smarter and more capable of giving advice than I am.

If you still pick a role model, pick someone for a trait worth admiring in real life, not because of what they project to the outside world.

Aggregators are a cancer to social networks; they’re all running on auto-pilot.

Instagram killed aggregators in 2022 (e.g., “thefatjewish” and “middeclassfancy”) and it led to an explosion of original content.

It is going to work much better for X:
Our users are smarter and have a lot more to say—as long as their voices are not drowned out by automated accounts.

We are publicly demonetizing the most egregious aggregators and using them as examples, so the rest can start evolving.

The endstate of X in a month: we will never pay twice for the same content. We will only reward for net new contributions to the Timeline.

@RamblingSingh Nonsense. One law, one country. How many more lives will it take.

What a pity.

In India the liberals care more about equality of women to enter Sabarimala while watching the poor general category family be denied a seat in college due to reservations.

Reservations are fine as long as they match my ideology

[anoop @anoopcodes]

@RorSyns I feel the core of the issue is the two tier law, where one is allowed to carry sword / blade while others are not based on their ethnicity

That’s the issue. Hope there are lawmakers with spine left to fix this.

Of all things, utterly surprised that it’s Pakistan who has the courage to execute rapists

Good for Pakistan

@shuranjeetsingh Shut the fuck up with your word vommit. If you genuinely cared about the man who died, you’d be advocating for banning swords instead of this word salad

[anoop @anoopcodes]

I hate religion. Why can’t we treat everyone as humans. Why should one religion be allowed to carry swords/blades while others do not ?

Law should be same for every citizen. Why is this such a hard thing for some people to grok ?

[ib @Indian_Bronson]

@razibkhan Two things going on:

1. Sikhs get an ethnic dispensation from the British govt to carry blades - even if the one used to murder Henry Nowak wasn't compliant, it's still two-tier justice

2. Even British nationalists are too afraid to directly confront Muslims/the Islam question

[Susie₿dds @SusieBdds]

Let me make sure I have this straight:

A dying 18 year old was handcuffed based on allegations that he was racist, but when he died in their custody the police never handcuffed the person who stabbed him to death?

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

He stabbed Henry in cold blood.

His brother lied to police that Henry was racist.

His mother helped him hide the murder weapon.

His family shouted “racist” in court.

And now they want privacy and sympathy?

Hell no.

Apology not accepted.

[David Atherton @daveatherton]

This is how the altercation between Vickrum Digwa and Henry Novak began.

Nowak was walking back to his student accommodation alone, jovially sending Snapchat videos to his friends. He was slightly affected by alcohol but well under the drink-drive limit. He accidentally brushed or bumped into Digwa on the street.

Digwa, who was sober but openly wearing an 8-inch (21cm) ceremonial blade (shastar) over his clothing, confronted Nowak aggressively.

Video recovered from Nowak's phone captured Digwa squaring up to him and aggressively asking if he thought he was a "bad man". Nowak walked away and "cheekily" repeated or mocked the phrase back to Digwa.

Digwa aggressively pursued the teenager, pulled out the blade, and stabbed him five times as Nowak tried to escape by climbing over a fence.

It seems 21 years was too little.

"Engineering, product, and design are all merging into a 'builder' role"

Yeah... I'm not so sure. This feels like an oversimplification and podcast talking point. Reality is a lot more complex.

Even with 1000 "Member of Technical Staff" titles, someone still has to wake up and care 100x more about Product or Design than anyone else. It is their Main Thing™

That's not to say MTS titles are universally bad, but I think they're an example of this 'builder' talking point that's become bastardized.

AI and coding agents have made generating code easy and yet... you're in for a world of pain if non-engineers ship a bunch of slop and don't have great engineers to tame the complexity.

The SF hivemind has a tendency to overfit what works at startups for every company. And to be fair, sometimes this is true! Startups can be a leading indicator for how the industry is changing and often cause disruption.

However, it is going to be incredibly hard to disrupt the extremely human parts of corporate jobs. You really think there's going to be a PM who also does some engineering and design on the side at JPMorgan Chase?

This is true for the simple parts of most jobs, like people wanting to have ownership over something and do good work, move up a career ladder, support their family, get paid well, make an honest living...

And also the hard parts: internal politics, some critical business system that has a bus factor of 1 which has been running for 15 years and isn't documented anywhere because it's that guy's job security. The real world has a lot of this stuff.

It's easy to pontificate about all roles collapsing but it's actually really nice to have a specific person or team who is an expert in one thing that you can work with. I don't expect that to change. Further, I think AI disruption to knowledge work will take decades to play out because it is more fundamental to the human condition (e.g. sociological/organizational) than pure intelligence.

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

In his final moments, Henry Nowak told police officers nine times “I can’t breathe” and four times that he had been stabbed.

In response police officer dragged him across the gravel, handcuffed and read him his rights.

It was the last thing Henry heard before he died.

[PoIiMath @politicalmath]

The simple fact of this case is that the police thought Henry Nowak was a racist and that meant that they did not feel obligated to extend to him any form of human decency

They killed him because someone accused him of racism

@sahilk Have to disagree here. Totally fine with people expecting 100/200% hike.

I see CTC as a useful data point of how the market valued you. It’s insanely hard to evaluate a candidate / stranger in 3 hrs
