    The landing page mentions blogs once, but gives no examples and blog posts aren't listed on the pricing page. Can it generate blog posts? If so, what's that experience like?

    Your conclusion is wrong - she admits in the quote you referenced that segregation was there. She does not say it didn't affect her, she says she didn't feel it (as in let it affec…

    Maximum comments on the free plan - is that 200 per page? Or 200 per site? Also is it 200 in total? Or 200 over some time period? Also, is there a blurb about privacy or how this e…

    Well...characterizing the usage as a marketing term wouldn't be relevant if the potential for making money weren't an issue here. Even beyond that, on a human level, the attacks on…

    He explicitly said income equality is unachievable. I didn't put those words in his mouth. You can't answer the question of "when" if a person has already decided the goal is unach…
