And yet from a business perspective, Twitter is doing terribly. The news platforms we seem to gravitate to don't end up being profitable.
Twitter is profitable with revenues of $732M. What’s your definition of a business failure?

To me it sounds like the opposite, a utopia. All throughout history, genes have been passed down through natural selection based on short term traits. If we can select partners based on things like longevity, cancer resistance, disease risks, IQ, we can produce a better world filled with better humans, slowly but surely.
> better humans Ah, sounds like you’re into eugenics. Do you believe humans are wise enough to determine what traits are favorable? Increased longevity, for instance, seems short-sighted. We already have extreme population growth. While natural survival instincts strive to fight death, what’s the net benefit to society of helping more people make it through their 90s? Phases like childhood and parenthood would become…
If I recall correctly, the described humans were living spans greater than 400 years, among other traits, after a handful of generations.
If something as ambitious as Deep Space is your goal, you're probably better off engineering people to make the trip rather than waiting for technology that may never materialize.
My take (just the first five): 1. A cure for the disease of which the RIAA is a symptom. Spotify & Apple Music. Pay $10/mo for unlimited access to most music. Took the wind out of music piracy. (TV & film are undergoing a similar transition to subscription models, more slowly.) 2. Simplified browsing...Grandparents and small children don't want the full web... Apps. Remember this list is from just one year after the…
> 3. New news I think this is where blockchain tech will prosper. Integrated wallet in you browser and nano payments to purchase access to articles. I don't want to subscribe to FT or New York Times, because I only read one or two articles per week. But I would happily pay 50c per article to get a few days access
I don’t disagree it would be nice. $100 per year subscriptions are a pretty high bar for me. But the evidence that people will consume digital news and other articles transactionally just isn’t there.
As I was on HN in 2008 and paying attention to these sorts of things, I'll pretend I'm qualified to offer opinions. 1. A cure for the disease of which the RIAA is a symptom - Streaming, both paid and ad-supported seems to be the answer here. It's prone to monopolies and music streaming doesn't seem to pay artists very well, but Netflix is producing quite a bit of original content. 2. Simplified browsing - mobile ate…
Hi! To expand on #20 there is a lot of stuff going on but like you said most of it is SEO spam. It is further hampered by planned obsolescence and the increasingly fast pace that new products are released at. It is very difficult and expensive to maintain actual experience with everything in a product space. It can't be crowd sourced either because most people are overly attached to their purchases and can't give obj…

Where is that data from? Also, it looks like you republish recipes from other websites. Do you have their permission to do so?
i don't have the actual recipe, just the ingredients. With a link to their recipe. there are no instructions on our site, except their description which they publish through JSON+LD. Basically all the info we show is just stuff they publish through JSON+LD

Lately seems to be going into an opposite direction. I.e. I have TV subscription, Netflix subscription, Amazon Prime subscription... but what I have to do to see Start Trek Discovery? Get yet another monthly subscription. Not exactly "one umbrella $10 subscription covers all" but rather "everybody has its own $10 subscription in which you probably are only interested in one thing ever, but you have to get the whole thing anyway". That, or just download it from torrents...
> to expect free, ad-supported news
Same problem here, btw. I wouldn't mind another $10 subscription, but I am surely not going to subscribe to 50 different news sources of which I read 2 articles a month from each, and I am surely not going to buy subscription to only one and trust it to actually give me full, deep, unbiased and untainted picture of the world, not sure if such unicorns ever existed but for sure they are extinct now. So again, 50 subscriptions or... other ways.
