Calling Gab pro free speech is pretty rich. They ban people for being Democrats or being critical of gab itself. They just don't ban people for anti semitism.

Where would anyone get the idea that a columnist shouldn't criticize other writers at a paper? Everyone who works there is supposed to have the same ideas about everything?
So glad you mentioned this I haven't seen anyone else talk about it. I quit playing this game because I couldn't sleep afterward. So weird nothing else has ever affected me like that
I really don't understand the idea that take home is somehow more fair or accurate than whiteboards. I've judged and taken both whiteboards and take homes. Take homes are more annoying for the candidate, and in my experience much more subjective from the interviewer. In my experience take home is the absolute worst way to pick a candidate.
There are ways. Lots of podcasts etc are RSS and behind paywalls. Agree we should make it easier and companies are starting to pop up that empower and enable the distributed internet rather than destroying it, even as spotify is making major moves in the other direction.
Also increasingly apple is moving to compete in services. Every incentive in the world will be to adopt the practices the other guys do. Putting your trust in apple right now on the privacy issue seems pretty misguided.

Ummm it's also strictly better for apple. They do get to know every time you sign in, instead of another company getting that. It's certainly not better for users than creating a separate account tied to a separate email for every service without a big company in between.
