    I think a weight loss factor could be added to legal antibiotics to remove the benefits of their overuse.. Caffeinated cows on a rampage might correct the industry.

    Suppose racism, discrimination and bullying by the general public were the dominant cause of recidivism.. Would it make sense to allow people from the majority regularly do 3 month…

    Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, when a platform is dying its owner: 1. Tries to capture all profit from the edges. 2. Extracts value "unreasonably" both to grab what they still can …

    Are you aware of IBM in the enterprise software industry? They manage to do almost all of that with their own software and open source rebundled.. No OS/2, almost no 3rd party prog…

    Windows is not over? I see Microsoft as similar to IBM now. They will make a lot of money from their Rolodex, possibly more than they ever made before, but they no longer own a rel…

    I used to use virtualbox but I became afraid of being trolled by Oracle using gradually changing license terms a few years back and stopped updating. I'm curious if anyone knows of…

    A portion of the population works in fields like psych where there is standard advice to use unlisted phone numbers to deter stalkers. Given 10 tenants, it is likely one has a good…

    Yeah, I think their fundamental error was making a definitive way to join a future airdrop. They should have just given coins to existing active keybase users. They would have had …

    I think that's the opposite of what I want? I want to inform people of the new safety number using the old channel and purge all data like a good user. In this respect a keybase li…

    Personally, I'm happy to lose the data. I found it odd that with both phones and the SIM on the desk in front of me, I couldn't figure out how/if I could vouch for my key changing …
