https://twitter.com/ritholtz/status/970768848122245121 But a funny thing happened: By the end of the tour, the coastal elites had caught the heartland bug. Several used Zillow, the real estate app, to gawk at the availability of cheap homes in cities like Detroit and South Bend and fantasize about relocating there. They marveled at how even old-line manufacturing cities now offer a convincing simulacrum of coastal life, complete with artisanal soap stores and farm-to-table restaurants. “If it weren’t for my kids, I’d totally move,” said Cyan Banister, a partner at Founders Fund. “This could be a really powerful ecosystem.” ... Recently, Peter Thiel, the President Trump-supporting billionaire investor and Facebook board member, became Silicon Valley’s highest-profile defector when he reportedly told people close to him that he was moving to Los Angeles full-time, and relocating his personal investment funds there. (Founders Fund and Mithril Capital, two other firms started by Mr. Thiel, will remain in the Bay Area.) Mr. Thiel reportedly considered San Francisco’s progressive culture “toxic,” and sought out a city with more intellectual diversity. Mr. Thiel’s criticisms were echoed by Michael Moritz, the billionaire founder of Sequoia Capital. In a recent Financial Times op-ed, Mr. Moritz argued that Silicon Valley had become slow and spoiled by its success, and that “soul-sapping discussions” about politics and social injustice had distracted tech companies from the work of innovation. hahahahaha

Cybernetic Vermin posted:to a slight extent i suspect it is an overextension of whitehats in security that has made engineers incapable of getting that these things should be considered before built, the sort of mindset that everything that can be done will get done no matter what, so e.g. making a proof of concept public research would be the best outcome a friend told me a few days ago that "everything that could be automated, should be" which i think explains a lot in this mentality. relatively well enough computer touchers who do not have a lot of experience with the really sharp edges of any existing system but do have a very simplistic first principles understanding of how the world works are very prone to being really loving optimistic about technology and not thinking nearly enough how the technology interacts with and affects the real world. sure their javascript piece of poo poo passes every unit test but a) there are no unit tests for real-world consequences b) nobody in software is being taught to estimate these things (imagine the shitstorm when "ethics in computer science" would be introduced to a curriculum) and c) the whole chain from VC to developer probably does not want anybody telling them that "uhh your poo poo is immoral and it should not exist". i think the people who work at facebook would be a-ok with a world where you have a significant amount people totally downtrodden and abused by an algorithmic min-maxing capitalist system as long those people have an app which gamifies their life so they are "happy".

FMguru posted:such a great plan this never actually happened tho but ok at peak they only had direct or indirect control of 1000 radio stations across both am and fm, while theres 5000 full power AM and 7000 full power FM commercial radio stations in the country. one of the big stumbling blocks they had to being super dominant was that besides the high-listenership stations they started out with from the several origin radio networks, they were rarely able to take over more already high-listenership stations because their corporate owners wanted too much for them of course they sounded like they had much more control because all big company radio sounds the same as the rest except for the occasional bumper mentioning what the network is which, who listens to that?

I don't but I'm not surprised that employees of a giant company who are dependent on that company for salary have a difficulty in seeing how their company could do wrong. Especially since that company has access to billions of people's private lives and needs to make profit off this data. So to me it seems that the whole setup incentivizes the employees to rationalise what they do (that spiel about getting the world connected, or whatever) to the point of "drunk driving gets a lot of people to work on time, so it is impossible to say if it is bad or not". hobbesmaster posted:ethics in engineering is about not using bribes to bypass the fire code or laundering client money though That's true, but including it in the curriculum would be a start. And also a guaranteed way to get nazi folks to go "cultural marxism is censoring our science".
