Surely it’s smart business to encourage and potentially even profit from both sides of the fence?

Can you provide any links that show that every time it’s tried, it fails? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_basic_income_pilots Skimming this list, there seems to be one real…

New Zealand, Australia, many NZ and US dependencies in the Pacific, South Africa, some Caribbean countries and territories?

We’re now 50 years in on a personal computer revolution, and people on HN and elsewhere haven’t managed to escape industrial-style management thinking. If we can have billions of p…

Just to add to your “no big fight” observation: What in some countries is grad studies, is in other places undergrad, and in a personal high point, high school extension studies. I…

WhatsApp and other over the top messaging and calling apps destroyed “the rivers of gold” that the telcos had in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Net neutrality was triggered by the…

These days even without trying I get more nine than GitHub. Arguments against self hosting have to change as our SaaS overlords are decaying in front of our very eyes.

There were Eurobooks and they were pretty well bought out by Facebook. Hyves and so on. The online CV networks were bought by LinkedIn.

Never heard of that, and I've worked in about 7 EU countries...

It’s not just the Internet. It’s politicians and businesspeople and more generally, shameless citizens. There’s a lot to dislike about shame as an enforcement mechanism but I’m sta…
