> Readers who share the assumption of likeness are given the delicious opportunity to nod knowingly. But historical writing should aspire to higher aims and riskier arguments than those that merely flatter the sentiments of anti-Trump partisans who, overwhelmed by the present, find satisfying displeasure in echoes from the past.
that's an under appreciated sentiment by lots of people that think economic markets as natural. in reality they're constructs from our politics. antitrust laws used to be enforced to prevent this type of consolidation of capital. i'm glad antitrust enforcements are coming back to decentralize the American economy
Could also use a tool like n8n instead of Clay or build your own system to read the csv and make api calls to enrichment service

well said!
"we don’t need to protect our monopolies from innovation—we need to protect innovation from our monopolies. We need to choose competition over national champions"
Literally the next item on my roadmap for employbl dot com lol. we're calling it a "personalized job board" and using PGVector for storing the embeddings. I've also heard good things about Typesense though.
One thing I've found to be important when creating the embeddings is to not do an embedding of the whole job description. Instead use an LLM to make a concise summary of the job listing (location, skills etc.) in a structured format. Then store that store as the embedding. It reduces noise and increases accuracy for vector search.
you mean regulatory job of enforcing the antitrust laws that were passed by multiple Congresses? She's not making this stuff up she's enforcing antitrust laws that haven't been enforced for decades which is part of the reason our society is so unequal and the economy so centralized
> Apple didn’t want to pay to give Lina Kahn time on their platform.
Jon Stewart wanted her on the show, they said no. That's them exercising their censorship power. If Amazon says you can't sell a book on their cite because they don't like you that's them exercising censorship power too.
> If she, or Jon Stewart, were censored, we wouldn’t be seeing their conversation here.
Just because Apple doesn't own other platforms like YouTube and Comedy Central doesn't mean they're unable to exercise censorship.
> there is nothing requiring Apple to provide him with a show if they don’t like his approach
For sure Apple can make editorial decisions but the government's lawyers claim: "Apple’s conduct extends beyond just monopoly profits and even affects the flow of speech. For example, Apple is rapidly expanding its role as a TV and movie producer and has exercised that role to control content"
They didn't just block Lina Khan they blocked discussions about China and AI. As more power is concentrated in fewer hands and fewer media providers that's something to consider when enforcing antitrust laws. In Khan's words:
“I think it just shows one of the dangers of what happens when you concentrate so much power and so much decision-making in a small number of companies.”
To me this gets to the heart of the issue. Many people think that because Apple makes great products we should just let them do whatever they want, even if it's anti-competitive.
