I like Mozilla's the most. It's most human-like and thus, easiest to understand

This is just a ploy to ensure that George RR Martin doesn't stop writing once the original WordStar stops working!

As with everything else that Stripe does, these books are beautifully designed as well. For me, their design has to be their differentiating factor.

Look at everyone in these replies pretending to be race blind. If this kid was Asian, you'd just go "eh, Asian prodigies" and not give it any further attention.

Mozart was writing symphonies by this age. Prodigies exist in every field. Is there a geographical bias in your skepticism? Would you be as skeptical if this kid was from Norway or…

Not knocking this effort, but why are all decentralized, open social networks that hope to compete against Facebook and Instagram so...dull? Their marketing is all the same wholeso…

Google Drive lost some of my files due to syncing errors early on. Dropbox didn't. Google Drive might have improved since (and I do use Google Apps for email and documents), but I …

The idea that venture-backed startups are going to "democratize" finance and wretch it from the hands of big banks is ridiculous.

I would be really interested in an Apple designed car, not exactly an Apple created self-driving tech suite. I trust Apple's design far more than I trust Apple's hard tech chops, e…

I've always wondered what percentage of people use coffee for stimulation, and what percentage use it simply to induce the first bowel movement

When I was slightly younger (I'm 29 right now), I must have tried most nootropics imaginable, including microdosing LSD (slightly pleasant) and modafinil (worthless). I was looking…

It's an unequal relationship. Free trade would mean that Google and Amazon and Ford get a level playing field in China as well. But that's not the case.

The mainstream media has become a terrible place for any sort of rational discussion. They're too busy criticizing Trump to analyze the impact of these moves. I have zero love for …

The upside is that we can still edit them all anytime :)

True. When I was starting out, I was tasked with editing the Wikipedia page of one of our clients to add more information. Wasn't anything sinister; the company just wanted to ensu…

Story of the year for me. Just goes to show what we can accomplish together. Hopefully it will go as a +1 in our ledger if the fate of our species is ever decided

You really have to love Wikipedia. It's barely a week old and you already have a page with so many references and detailed information. Thank you, all the anonymous contributors.

In India, Flipkart is often criticized for "copying" Amazon's idea (not that "sell stuff online" was revolutionary to begin with). But the thing is, Flipkart entered the Indian mar…

> Businesses live and die by cash flow. What if cash flows instantly 24/7? Business payments are delayed not because there is an underlying fault in the payment systems (wire trans…

Not really. Liquidity is a major problem. Properties sit n the market for years sometimes (as my dad's) before finding a buyer at supposed market valuation (which, in my view, is h…

> Politicians spend the money to fund campaigns, but also on handing out favours, jobs and cash to constituents. “It’s sort of an unholy nexus,” as Raghuram Rajan put it to me duri…

If the developing world switched over to a high meat diet as the developed world, it would be an environmental catastrophe

The thing is, the people you mentioned in Bangalore didn't even have access to water 50 years ago. India is a great example because the country has progressed on all metrics so muc…

Even more absurd is their confidence that they can leash up hyper-masculine private security contractors - the men who hold the guns and kill for a living.

> making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind This almost sounds like a parody
