Daily Dose

Bro holds an unassuming can in his hand, unaware that behind it lies a global conspiracy and an agenda of staggering magnitude…

To promote the desired otter and bear traits within the non-bro population as well, beverage manufacturers in every brother state are required to secretly add masculinizing substances that must not be declared. Should companies fail to adhere to absolute secrecy, they are immediately expropriated and reprivatized as the property of brothers. If, on the other hand, insiders speak out publicly, the intelligence service of the brothers’ global authority is deployed, causing the individual in question to disappear and removing all critical information from the internet.

After years of research, the Brotherhood succeeded in identifying certain substances which – without altering the hormonal system too drastically or reducing fertility – cause increased muscle growth, intensified body hair, and baldness in both sexes. The gradual thinning of the non-bros, along with the transformation of the usable remainder, constitutes supreme doctrine, aimed at replacing the original population in every country controlled by the Brotherhood with otters and bears who, after several generations of reeducation, live fully in accordance with brotherly teachings.

Tägliche Dosis

Bro hält eine unscheinbare Dose in der Hand und ahnt nicht, dass sich hinter ihr eine globale Verschwörung samt Agenda von gewaltigem Ausmaß verbirgt…

Um die gewünschten Otter- und Bärenmerkmale auch in der Nicht-Bro-Bevölkerung zu fördern, sind Getränkehersteller in jedem Bruderstaat verpflichtet, vermännlichende Substanzen heimlich beizumischen, die nicht deklariert werden dürfen. Sollten sich Unternehmen nicht an die absolute Verschwiegenheit halten, werden sie sofort enteignet und als Eigentum von Brüdern reprivatisiert. Sollten hingegen Insider öffentlich plaudern, kommt der Geheimdienst der Weltobrigkeit der Brüder zum Einsatz, der die betreffende Person verschwinden lässt und alle kritischen Informationen aus dem Internet beseitigt.

Why Design Theory is Good to Know

I think I have maybe 20 books about design and the latest fad or explanation when it comes to what design is. The one thing I’ve learned from all of them is that design is hard to pin down, because design is everything. If we make a thing, regardless of intent, that thing is designed. It doesn’t matter if the design is accidental or haphazard or not thought through. It’s still designed.

This is…

“Brotopia is more than a business book. Silicon Valley holds extraordinary power over our present lives as well as whatever utopia (or nightmare) might come next.” —New York Times

Silicon Valley is a modern utopia where anyone can change the world. Unless you’re a woman.

For women in tech, Silicon Valley is not a fantasy land of unicorns, virtual reality rainbows, and 3D-printed lollipops, where millions of dollars grow on trees. It’s a “Brotopia,” where men hold all the cards and make all the rules. Vastly outnumbered, women face toxic workplaces rife with discrimination and sexual harassment, where investors take meetings in hot tubs and network at sex parties.

In this powerful exposé, Bloomberg TV journalist Emily Chang reveals how Silicon Valley got so sexist despite its utopian ideals, why bro culture endures despite decades of companies claiming the moral high ground (Don’t Be Evil! Connect the World!)–and how women are finally starting to speak out and fight back.

Drawing on her deep network of Silicon Valley insiders, Chang opens the boardroom doors of male-dominated venture capital firms like Kleiner Perkins, the subject of Ellen Pao’s high-profile gender discrimination lawsuit, and Sequoia, where a partner once famously said they “won’t lower their standards” just to hire women. Interviews with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, and former Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer–who got their start at Google, where just one in five engineers is a woman–reveal just how hard it is to crack the Silicon Ceiling. And Chang shows how women such as former Uber engineer Susan Fowler, entrepreneur Niniane Wang, and game developer Brianna Wu, have risked their careers and sometimes their lives to pave a way for other women.
