    Replace Hollywood/Disney with Twitch and nothing is different. You still need to get lucky to be famous on Twitch (or Youtube) for your distribution channel and have enough influen…

    Having 1000+ services seems like an overkill for an ecommerce company. I certainly hope they aren't doing something silly like a service for each payment type or a service to manag…

    2010-2012 Tumblr was truly a magical experience. It wasn't a social media for your real life friends or news, it was just a place for fandoms to share tons of gifs. And there was a…

    None of this sounds good for individual liberty. It just becomes an issue of are you lucky enough to live in a state that doesn't hate you

    For now yes, but I would say it's really meant as replacement for Instagram rather than Facebook. So videos only seems fine compared to a service that was primarily for pictures. T…

    How is fraud handled in this case? Name and address is relatively easily accessible public info. Do they notify the person that there is an invoice against them before they ship th…

    Are there big issues with the current system that exists today to prove ownership of a property you bought? Is real estate fraud common enough? I never went through buying property…

    What problem was "real estate on the blockchain" trying to solve?

    Out of curiosity, is your customdomain in this case something without any personal info on it? I have a custom domain with my first name and last name initial .com, but now I'm thi…

    As a customer are there any downsides to using these BNPL platforms when I'm buying something? I generally never buy anything online that I can't afford to pay for it outright so I…

    I have trouble understanding how Clubhouse was supposed to grow like other social media apps. It doesn't have the traditional social network growth. If I meet someone at university…

    So I assume the things that are becoming free don't include using your own domain for mail? Will Google Workspace Individual include that? The TechCrunch article mentions it will b…

    In addition to what you listed, I would have liked to see something about Apple not getting special rules when it comes to their own apps. For example Spotify does not have to pay …

    Is there any pressure in Finland to make this illegal? If your transaction didn't go through the digital authentication to verify identity, then it's worthless and the money can't …
