This still gives me chills. Ingenious. Carl Sagan explains how the Ancient Greeks, Eratosthenes of Cyrene, the chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria, inferred that the Earth was round and calculated its circumference 2200 years ago. 240BC

Disagree. @MKBHD is one of the best YouTubers/product reviewers we have. He has high trust & credibility with his audiences because he's honest and takes time to be objective. If one product review can hurt your company, perhaps you have a bad product. Do no harm doesn't…

I find it distasteful, almost unethical, to say this when you have 18 million subscribers. Hard to explain why, but with great reach comes great responsibility. Potentially killing someone else’s nascent project reeks of carelessness. First, do no harm.

@LilyEvansMFC I’m reminded of what Gavin de Becker said in The Gift of Fear: Niceness does not equal goodness. Niceness is a decision, a strategy of social interaction, not a character trait. Ppl seeking to control others almost always present an image of a “nice” person in the beginning.
