I never said "it was designed to not have a standard library". Instead it was: "it was NOT designed to have a standard library", which means "standard library" was something that t…

If we follow your logic, assembly would the worst language of all. Like you said it was never designed to have a standard library and so forth, and therefore it sucks to use JS to …

What do you think would be the benefit?

I agree with the sentiment but I think the interpretation is off. I don't think Javascript is a bad language. It does what it does and is good enough. In my opinion if you look at …

Anyone know if there's anything like Soylent but for protein only? Sometimes I go on a no-carb diet (sometimes to lose weight and sometimes because carbs make me sleepy) and I am t…

I fail to understand a reason why someone would use this... right now it seems to only work on a few LG watches, and isn't Android open source as well? Why would someone choose to …

+1 You should always under-promise and over-deliver. It's kind of a bummer to see a customer support app since I was expecting a groundbreaking technology that finally succeeded in…

Your argument is no different than people from the old times saying "the earth is flat". Of course that was the reality back then, but we've found out that's not the case. When tal…

Downloading pirated torrent is unethical and probably illegal, but tons of people still use it. So I think "less likely" is not really the case. People will do anything as long as …

This guy basically is saying "the world we live in is physical, because well.. it is physical!". How does someone like this become a professor and publish books? I have no problem …

Youtube is a monopoly in a way Google is a monopoly. Just like how there's Bing and DuckDuckGo but most people use Google, most people use Youtube although some do use sites like v…

If you're wondering about this question, then it is very likely that you shouldn't make it open source. Like I said it only makes sense when you feel the need to make it open sourc…

Parent said "most of", and I think that's pretty much correct regardless of how vibrant of a community Imgur has. Most traffic to imgur is via embeds or links from another discussi…

Google knew that Youtube will turn into the largest video search engine, so they bought it strategically. Otherwise someone else could have swooped in and acquired the largest vide…

Is there a specific reason why you would want to open source it? Just my personal opinion: users don't care if your app is open sourced or not (Unless there's a clear reason for it…

Assuming that the type of people who they want to block are psychos or people with bad social skills, they will find themselves in 100 times more serious situation when the other p…

Is it ok to go around publicly saying "we got into YC" when it's just a fellowship?

Commodity is when your product has no differentiation on the market. Imgur does not have enough differentiation on the market and that's why they're a commodity. For image centric …

Because it's a monopoly. Come back when Imgur becomes the only (or one of very few) place on the web to share funny images and Gifs. Farewell.

Monopoly is not a commodity. Non-monopoly is a commodity.

And why would Google purchase a forum site for sharing funny images and GIFs?

Why would Google buy when they can just create one overnight if they wanted? Probably much more stable than Imgur too. Imgur is just a commodity. Youtube is not.
