Not to rain on the parade, but serious question: are bookmarks actually useful anymore? It's funny, I'm trying to remember when I simply stopped using bookmarks. 5 years ago, maybe? 10? I'm not entirely sure. I used to have elaborate folder hierachies of bookmarks in my browser. But at some point, I realized anytime I needed something, it was faster to just type a keyword or two in the address bar. Either it was ther…

Try to search for anything more than a couple of years old on Google and you will have a very difficult time. That said, the "just search for it" paradigm is the correct way to think about bookmarking, as Joshua Schachter taught me. Bookmarking sites just take care of the haystack for you so the various needles you want to find later don't disappear.

I agree. for a long time the difficulty has not been in finding stuff on the internet, but rather finding said stuff again later

Digg was massive right at the tail end of seeker-net. I myself watched nearly every episode of Diggnation. Great times.

Kevin Rose had some great shows all the way back to tech tv Leo Laporte days. I wonder what happened to that guy. I would gladly trade a drunk Kevin for a Zuckerberg.

as with all founders who faded out, he became a VC. True Ventures partner https://trueventures.com/team/kevin-rose/

Delicious was for a time at the cultural nerve center of the web, and I think had the potential to be something like a twitter or a reddit if stewarded correctly. I like to think there was an alternate reality where Yahoo didn't run itself into the ground, and took its properties: delicious, flickr, tumblr, its massive userbase across fantasy sports, groups, news, messenger, geocities and answers, its email service,…

I read that with a nostalgic tone and think, “If that happened, we’d all be up in arms about the power and corruption that Yahoo/Mozilla duopoly wielded”

I gave up on delicious a long time ago, after it has changed hands several times and the code-base had reverted to a steaming pile of pre-web-2.0 shit. The browser extensions has all mostly died a long time before, and mobile apps were non existent. I tried every replacement, but nothing was quite like delicious was in the glory days. Then raindrop.io appeared. It's another one-dev project, but it's like a polished d…

What are your thoughts on pinboard and other delicious replacements?

Jerry Yang is Taiwanese. I'd like to think I work hard, but my current boss is of Taiwanese extraction. The cultural commitment to suffering is hard to explain. My usual joke with her is asking if she slept well on her bed of nails. I can imagine he may feel like his employees should be grateful for the opportunity to exhibit their suffering.

Stereotype much?

Read it again. It's not a stereotype. It's his personal observation.

This is probably one of my favorite developments coming from the quarantine. Maciej Ceglowski is a keeper of the torch reminding us of what the web used to be: a weird place filled with weird people who were guided by curious intellects and a belief that the internet can and would liberate us in some strange and amazing way.

Down to the lack of TLS even (or maybe I should say SSL -- XD)!

> In some ways Mark Zuckerberg was cut from the old cloth. The original Facebook was in many ways amazing, quickly evolving, and so open. "I" created Facebook in 1999. The commpany I worked for wanted a "networked solution for all and everyone." Not big enough market, bad timing etc. So there you have it; timing is _everything_.

> networked solution for all and everyone

To get to that point the trick was to build it as something else first, and then switch. Myspace was primarily a platform for bands, which are fun and cool, which contributed to its early success.

And Facebook was ENTIRELY this initially.

While I agree this is common human nature, 1) you seem to be speculating about billionaires without actual evidence, even anecdotal, and 2) individuals differ - some may have the maturity and perspective not to worry about it. However, in support of your point, while Bill Gates and Warren Buffett both say billionaires and other "better off" people should pay more taxes, to my knowledge, they haven't been unilaterally…

What kind of idiot pays more than they owe in taxes? I'm sure you don't either. I don't know why some people seem to expect that of billionaires. It's not rational behavior for them or anyone else, so why do you think they should be behaving that way. I've seen this more than a couple times in HN comments and it always befuddled me.

marginal utility is much higher for the government (and the public) than for you
