I completely agree with this. Why would the average Joe trust the chain you describe more than a Corporation with a physical address and humans to interact with? What are your thou…

that's why I said "part" of a conversation. If it's known that China (or any nation) is actively working against our citizens interests, it certainly makes sense to include in any …

I discovered scooters recently and have rode them in three major cities during the past month. I have to say it is the most genius consumer tech product I've seen in a long time. I…

How do you reason such? Most if not all of the illicit fentanyl comes from China, where it is an uncontrolled substance. IMO this should definitely be part of a comprehensive conve…

> Discussing which tools work best is an important question in software development. I completely agree, but would you write an article titled "Spoons still blowing away Forks in d…

Why do people care which framework "blows" the other one away? In my opinion, it literally doesn't matter at all and arguing over such things seems amateur. Use whatever tool gets …

> What's worse is that they're not entirely wrong. If your startup dies because of your choice in javascript framework, you were doomed from the get go.

Oh I'd love to go to that lake... I agree it's foolish conjecture and I believe we are certainly not "alone". I had an experience when I was 10 that infused fear and curiosity in m…

but how do you know it exists if you've never been there? who told you? > there are no reptile aliens secretly ruling Earth. perhaps not ruling it...

where is this lake in WA state? have you been there? are you reptilian?

That's actually a great idea in my opinion, not sure why you were down voted. It seems that the incumbent large internet companies will easily be able to afford this burdensome reg…

I disagree, what is unique about Reddit that a smart team of engineers can't reproduce easily? Like facebook their main advantage is network effect only.

Interesting, outside of the academic merits of the research, I wonder if they could partner with Blizzard (or other similar RTS game studios) and start shipping games with AI that …

Once upon a time, it was completely preposterous to think that a human could fly in the air. When I'm worth $20Billion+ from building technologies that have already impacted the wo…

this. First, the thing that none of the decentralize advocates recognize is that outside of HN and the tech community, no one cares! When you mention the word "decentralized" to Jo…

I'm sorry but I don't see a comparison between what people *willingly post online to public forums compared to their personal health ledger... it's not apples to apples

thanks for this. so what's your advice for a social startup building a new platform in today's data-privacy concerned world?

Well the world has changed clearly. When facebook/myspace started out, would they have been able to achieve success if they were bogged down with data privacy compliance?

I don't think it's an equal comparison... the effects of social media on societies is a somewhat subjective matter. It's more likely that social media is just another tool that exp…

can social media kill you though? I mean all this talk of regulating social networks is under the assumption that it's something you need to have. I would argue that safe shelter i…

thanks, wow responding to a letter like your first link could significantly bog down resources for a young company... you can imagine if you launched and even received moderate use…
