It’s an interesting hypothesis. I wonder if we can verify if. Are there really awful services out there? I’m think 4chan - do they have an app? And more to the point - would AWS and Stripe deplatform them?

Their sacks of money are so heavy they cause all content and services to fall into their gravity well, which is where it gets scrubbed. Decentralization is stalling in the face of the economy of scale.

Would you agree that the market place of ideas is crippled by the presence of a “monopoly”? Not destroyed as a government could do, but crippled.

Something like that might work. Their goal so far has been avoiding casual exposure to anything less than family-friendly. If a user has to go out of their way to procure offensive content it seems Apple is not that concerned - browsers, ma

Not in my experience, no. I have a training YouTube video in my app and Apple rejected it because YouTube inserted their video recommendations after my training video was done, and one of those recommendations was a disturbing news footage.

A wild guess. Globalized economy benefits the entire tech sector plus some parts of non-tech. It also hurts a number of businesses and a huge number of American workers. Trump is an anti-globalist, hence why he gets pummeled.

So you keep saying, but I have to wonder what’s the total reach? If 20% are reading, are they then immediately retelling each to 2 more people? And what if every single news caster, PR agent, and manager is among the 20%? Also, how much is

I always wondered if one could start "tweeting" by dropping messages directly into the Bitcoin blockchain. Lots of people are very invested in it, and forking the blockchain is a lot of work and is unlikely to happen causally for

And what makes you think that it wasn't? If you were in charge of the nuke launch process you would never give the power to one man, would you? You would have probably done two things: 1. Require a broad consensus to launch (possibly w

Interestingly, Christianity started out this way too. I was thinking the other day, perhaps accepting the role of a victim allows one to submit to the collective thus allowing a victim society to win against an individualist society. I also

In the 1830 King Charles the 10 of France has issued certain proclamations, but nobody found out out because the printers refused to print them, and instead spent their energy and paper on liberal revolutionary materials. Charles pissed the

If you keep thinking these dissident thoughts you may eventually come to the conclusion that huge portion of do-gooding is done for the benefit of the do-gooders, primarily the feel-good benefit. A few are trying hard to build a link betwee

Deliberately stretching the overtone window to extreme positions is how things go to hell - you might think you are just applying leverage but plenty of others will happily occupy the space you created and push things farther out still. Ove

I’ve been meaning to procure a drone to scout best trails before hiking them, and DJI mini 2 seem ideal for the purpose. All I need now is a phone app that would make it easy to browse the tiles shot by the drone (rather than rewind video b

Apropos of other comments. What do we think about the mask “issue”? Some people vehemently refuse to wear them, others take “just go with flow” attitude, yet others approach it with outsized religious zeal, hounding the heretics or at least
