Are there any recent examples of web development things that haven't worked right on the M1? I'm looking to upgrade but am worried about this.

According to him it's only ever biased if it's critical of his actions or policies. That injects more noise into claims of bias and can lead people to take them less seriously than they realistically should. Bit of a boy who cried wolf situation.
Re:Tech salaries are risk premiums on Monday February 03, 2020 @03:09PM (#22228419)
I think of this statement as less of one that the author considers likely or not and more a way to illustrate the dependencies present in tech salaries.

For what it's worth, I agree with you as well.

Here's is a great long-form article on some of the societal implications of living in the age of Ring and NextDoor. It touches on this point throughout the article: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/11/steal...

I would contend that Zoom is also a good example of this.
Re:Why Theoretical Mathematics Is Important on Sunday January 21, 2018 @11:28PM (#16201928)

Is that the case of any board then?

Of course some of them are VCs. Investors generally get board seats.
Re:Uber's New CEO on Tuesday August 29, 2017 @03:53AM (#15122783)
I don't think the author makes any claims that this is anything other than a positive feedback loop. He's mainly saying that it makes sense for Uber to prioritize the user experience over anything else in order to further accelerate growth.
The book based on this paper is one of the best text books I've read. I highly recommend reading it if you're looking for a solid understanding of linear algebra.

Agreed on bitcoin not being the perfect solution for crypto. I think Ethereum has a ton of potential in this regard. Smart contracts have many applications and provided the developer community around Ethereum continues growing, I see no reason why it won't overtake Bitcoin within the next 10 years.
