I'm not sure what your point is here?
yes, you can make your own ecosystem - what does that have to do with google being run by AIs? If I build my own, google will still be run by AIs?
BTW - I find the easiest thing to do is just not use a cell phone. All I use my phone for is lyft and authy. Much easier then 'building my own'.
edit: grammar
- jb775 6y agoMy point is related to the general consensus of HN over the past few weeks giving a pass to companies (Twitter/AWS/Facebook/etc) for taking extreme partisan political actions (e.g. banning Trump from Twitter, shutting down Parlor, etc). The generic response was "if you don't like how they handled it, you can build your own platform". So now I'm gauging if that statement still holds when the situation doesn't cut across political lines...i.e. why is no one saying "if you don't like it, go build your own Google/Robinhood". I think the answer is that since it's no longer a partisan-political issue, HN wants to treat the situation differently and forget what they said over the past few weeks.
- mech422 6y agoI didn't actually get that vibe from a comment about being run by bots. Not like the parents said "its all the bots fault". But, for what its worth - I think "if you don't like it - lump it" still holds. There are other systems with zero commissions beside RobinHood. For instance, I didn't notice Fidelity stopping any trades the couple of times I spot checked today.
