@markosaric I just saw it recommended on Netflix. Going to watch it based on your recommendation and ironic observation.

TIL from “Explained” by Vox on Netflix: the theory behind the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was created by someone obsessed with astrology (Carl Jung).

Sharing just in case you needed more evidence that the personality test is bullshit.

@markosaric For real. Hope it helps them win an election to justify the bad behavior.

People using Apple EarPods sound 10× better than people using Apple AirPods. Be considerate of the person you’re meeting with and embrace the wire.

After donating to a Democratic political campaign with a unique email alias:

1 hour later: WE'RE STILL SHORT OF OUR GOAL

2 hours later: CAN WE COUNT ON YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT, JEREMIAH??

1 day later: CAMPAIGN YOU NEVER CONTRIBUTED TO SOMEHOW HAS YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS

Obviously, China’s one child policy went horrifically wrong. I am not considering that extreme.

More like public service announcements espousing the benefits of communal parenting and not reproducing more than twice so that every child born has a chance of an inhabitable planet.

According to scientists, there is a strong correlation between pandemic risk and population density.

If we care about the future of humanity living on a survivable planet, should we be considering public policy to encourage—but not require—people to birth fewer children?

@vfrmedia @kvothe This image. With rooms we get the “decentralized” model. I want the “distributed” model to work. I have some friends and I talk to them. They have some friends (hopefully including me) and they talk to them. Cozy♥

@jens Quite a few negative reviews on the quality of the IKEA model. The most significant problem is that the smallest size is too large for my space. Most are sized for offices, not European city size apartments. I suspect this might change over time as home offices are now the new norm.

Frustrated and disappointed by the options for sit-stand desks in the EU compared to the US that starting a company to unsuck this situation seems reasonable. (It is not reasonable.)

Facebook is a social network known for its protection of its far-right userbase. The site has been widely described as a safe haven for extremists including neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and the alt-right.

If you oppose these groups, why do you keep using it?

@markosaric Great recap.

I found out about your Product Hunt launch via the button you put on my stats page.

PH has little value to most businesses, but founders love to feel popular for a day.

Honestly this was the best slide from my talk and if you disagree, you’re wrong.

@mpanhans I have met Mark several times. Facebook invested in my first startup. That was long before Facebook ruined the world.

RT @NYCAntifa
"Antifa" is simply short for anti-fascist or anti-fascist action. There are groups, like NYC Antifa or Rose City Antifa, & there are people who call themselves antifa, because they identify as anti-fascists.

Most people are 100% "antifa," btw.

Today is my last day on Facebook.

To celebrate, go to this public comment Mark Zuckerberg once left on my wall and give it an angry reaction (😡) instead of a like.
