I still don't know why seemingly no one has been able to create a good clone of 2010-2015 Twitter. Mastodon is clunky, BlueSky was invite-only for so long that people lost interest…

It's definitely a double-standard that is especially prevalent in the US. In a gas station you can buy alcohol that will kill you, nicotine products that will kill you, processed f…

> It's great that people are experimenting in this space. It's less great that people are getting multiple millions in funding and selling a phone and web service as an "AI device.…

Very glad that I don't work somewhere with an immature "thought leader" at the helm. Imagine having your entire department cut as the result of a Twitter Poll because your CEO was …

It's also not exclusive to China/authoritarian countries. Plenty of European countries have de-facto decriminalized cannabis by rarely enforcing laws on possession (I'm reminded of…

I think “violence” is at times such a silly measuring stick for modern justice. Instead, we should see it as lost/ruined human potential. What is worse, violently robbing one bank …

I feel like there are PLENTY of "AI" apps someone could have made and still been first to market, long before they got down the list to "eat this fungus, trust me bro" territory.

Yeah, I remember in 5th grade we had a day where each kid got a turn on the classroom computer to see how far they could go.

What’s interesting is you also see the is was sponsored by Chevrolet (on the title screen), so it seems monetization-wise, it’s no different than today when YouTubers have a sponso…

Yeah, $500 seems basically impossible for an "Apple" product. I mean AirPods are $200 minimum. The latest phones are $1000. Their laptops are all $1000+. I'm not sure how Apple wou…

I think there's a "too many people in the pool" problem that happens with everything virtual. Facebook was a big deal when I was in High School and early college, and I remember ho…

Titan Panel I think was the name? It was the one that kinda "unified" a lot of UI elements into one bar (total gold, repair percentage, stuff like that).

"How do we make the cooler door a more engaging experience?" Imagine getting your raise request denied, meanwhile the guy asking these questions is an executive at your company. I …

According to this article from CoinTelegraph, Telegram denies making any agreement like this. Sees like it’s MTS trying to boost its advertising services (and charge clients more) …

I stopped noticing several years ago, it seems every place has all 4 on the "We proudly accept" window decal. But I do remember checking 10-15 years ago to make sure places took my…

This has always seemed like a somewhat short-sighted take from regulators. While I do think that platforms have some responsibility to police content that users post, I can’t help …

Yeah we're definitely seeing a slow return to "this is on-demand cable". And all I see is that independent content (like YT videos) will continue to grow. I can definitely say that…

Sometimes I wish I could go back to the 90s (or even early/mid 2000s) just for a day to remember what that vacuum of "stuff to do" in every day life was like. I lived it, I remembe…

I agree that that's probably the most "mass adoption" use case for these things, rather than just gaming or content consumption. I would love to be able to have essentially a pair …

> MTS was used on a production basis at about 13 sites in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and possibly in Yugoslavia I’d love to hear a story about that last…

I grew up in an area with quite a few Amish, and it is interesting how tech from the past 10 years has affected that community. Like the article says, not all Amish follow the same…

I think it’s also how we interact with them. I remember being “chronically online” as a teenager 15 years ago without a phone, just playing MMORPGs all day and me and my friends (a…

I feel the same way about any media: podcasts, TV, movies, etc. The creator put in a lot of time and effort, so to not give it your full attention is a complete disservice. When I …

But given the choice, isn't SMS a stronger first authentication factor? It's temporary and randomized, whereas users don't change passwords that frequently. So a password is much m…

I actually wrote to Telegram’s support team to get more info about this, and it seems the article has a lot of errors. The support rep linked me to this, https://telegra.ph/Wired-E…
