   I haven't seen anyone mention Exponent yet. It's basically Stratechery, the podcast.

    Are you really going to argue that Bloomberg, the one which is able to make Bloomberg Terminal[1] a good value proposition, is worse in terms of quality of information than the Washington Post? [1] https://www.bloomberg.com/

    They're sadly moving towards interoperability/feature-parity with WebExtensions, but I don't think they'll change entirely at any point.

    I think that the ideal here is that something like this manages to supplant AdSense as Google's main actual business.

    I would guess that Christian Mingle specified an age/location target, and assumed the name would filter out non-Christians from clicking(and therefore the company wouldn't have to pay).

    I feel like 720p/3GB would be capable enough for most basic Android utility apps, and some social media, which appears to be the use case they're targeting here.

    I feel like this is a more general symptom of attempting to apply a democracy where every citizen's is valued equally in a very large population. At some point, it's simply impossible to have a whole population which is both prope

    He can't be extradited to Sweden now if he leaves. I wouldn't be surprised if the US attempted to pursue him directly on some other charge. Before something else comes up, he could get on a plane somewhere now though safely enough
