I predict that all sites like this which thrive on community generated content will be getting rid of apis and bulk exports. This is because ai companies have used those tools to b…

Are they a multibillion dollar corporation though? I know they have had crazy valuation's, but we are moving past a time of value based on eyeballs and to a time of value based on …

You realize that twitter is a corporation and not a government right? They don't enforce laws they enforce rules, which they also set.

Yes, get some limited funding to build out the infrastructure. We can build a platform that is better for the users and that will get them all to come. We will make it modern and v…

I would argue that high paying jobs are a big driver of cities and never in human history have people had the ability to work in high paying jobs outside of big cities like we do n…

why isn't stock buy back considered inside trading? Is the purchase somehow firewalled from the company?

I think for their hard limit on MSDN funds, MS shuts down everything that creates incremental costs. As far as i know they don't delete anything, even things like storage that have…

And you generally know the person who is on both ends. This leads to a sense of history and consequence which is most commonly not available on the internet.

Most robocalls are illegal in the US. We have a do not call list and everything. I believe is it a name change is currently working its way through to change the name to "seriously…

So then without making other more fundamental changes we would have to gerrymander. In fact a number of strange looking districts are gerrymandered with creating a majority minorit…

The problem with this analogy is that the 55/44 split is not equally distributed across a state. In virtually every case there are pockets of one or the other. As long as you keep …

i cannot upvote this enough. The regulation has very little if anything to do with the closure of the vast majority of small businesses. Access to larger/more efficient companies t…

My experience has been the opposite. Skiing is easier at slow speeds and has a shorter learning curve, but takes a lot longer to get good. Snow boarding has a higher learning curve…

What makes this the "uber for long buses"? It isn't even that they they are filling unused inventory on existing routes, from what I can tell they are simply using contractors. Is …

How do you know he didn't, and while he brought up FF, Safari, IE, once he wins that war he will move on to getting his browser icon included.

Reddit appears to only show images to posts about the image, not to a website. Most of reddit content are just posts to images and the discussion about the image, so IMHO that impr…

I agree that you would expect more from a $3000 computer, but that is not what hololens is. Considering all of novel sensors and capabilities with the hololens, it is pretty amazin…

Actually helping people in a significant way in large wealthy countries is harder/more expensive because the bar is already higher. A disadvantaged person in a first world country …

I would love to see this compared to other 1st world countries. I know the US spends way more on defense then other countries, but how does elderly care compare for instance. Also,…

These are some really interesting questions. I think a lot of these depend on how you think of the internet. I think of it as a utility that is required for a true equal shot at a …

I am strongly on the side of free markets. The problem is that large infrastructure based industries like the internet are very vulnerable to monopolies or oligopolies. That is cle…

So much this. If I am getting my degree from an established/well known university I am much less likely to do something like this. This is even more the case for top students from …
