In case you need a CLI countdown while [ $((1400000000-$(date +%s))) -gt 0 ]; do echo $((1400000000-$(date +%s))); sleep 1; done

Tip: download Upptalk for iOS or Android and call her for free.

Unlike Eich, Rice went far beyond simply holding beliefs and making donations. She held real power and used it in unconscionable ways. Given the current climate, I find it incredible that a cloud storage company would be involved with someo

Equally skewed as using scientific journals as your only source of evidence for complex human issues.

My point is it's not just a question of evidence.

If you pick "peer reviewed research" you probably never held your own newborn child in your arms, promising you'd do anything to protect them, and secretly wishing they never grow old. And perhaps you overestimate the strengt

When you're children move from hypothetical realm to actual, let me know your opinion.

"It turns out that the research suggesting that teenagers and pornography are a hazardous mix is far from definitive." [Devil's advocate] If you had children, would you need peer-reviewed literature to inform your decision

I'm constantly amazed that people will rent out their own homes to total strangers, and then blame Airbnb when things like this happen.

To prevent fiscal fraud. Spanish government has a big problem with people not paying tax (partially because the tax rules in some cases are completely absurd).

I don't have time right now to read all that, but since I was referring generally to network effects, and not specifically Metcalf's Law, the paper probably validates my comment above.

Agreed, but the regulatory effect is potentially bigger. In many places Whatsapp will not simply be able to roll out telephony services without the OK of the local regulator. I expect them to dis-activate VOIP for many countries initially,

Not wishing to harp on (honest), but we just launched some very real competition. We've spent the last 2 years polishing our app which allows you to make VOIP calls out to US, UK and Canadian numbers for free. You even get assigned y

This is a real headache. You can either send all the messages (and info/queries) to all logged-in devices, or you select just the most recently used. In the first case, the user gets messages repeated. In the latter, there's the r

Which was obviously a horrific thing to say.

That's nice, but will you be able to make free, unlimited calls to all US, UK and Canadian mobiles + landlines, like you already can with Upptalk.com? ;)

Sounds interesting, but will you be able to make unlimited, free SMS & calls to all US, UK and Canadian mobile or landlines, like you already can with Upptalk.com? ;)

I disagree, network effects are incredibly strong. Since Telegram is only capable of talking to other Telegram apps, its value increases not only in proportion to the number of contacts who have it installed, but also how often you need to

Except Whatsapp has a very strong network effect that's difficult to replicate (the other person must also have the app). That's why we designed Upptalk to interoperate with standard telephony services like SMS and SIP.

Upptalk is up :)

Because it would be a nightmare to maintain.
