I think it depends on how the recommendation algorithms are implemented. (I have no idea about how Facebook and Twitter recommendation algorithms work) Let's say for example you have a community contributed labeling system that allows

The FSF provides a fairly long (strongly worded?) list of reasons on this page. https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary.en.html IMHO proprietary software is better than no software, but open source software is be

It's more than theoretical. People in Argentina, Venezuela, etc. do it regularly. If you got paid like that regularly you would just setup automated transfers and it would be largely invisible to the individual. Since ACH reversals ha

What's the selling point of Wasmer over the JVM or BEAM?

You can't currently do that can you? If you can, please tell me how because I would love to know. :-) If you mean that this could be implemented, then great I'm all for it. From a technical perspective it doesn't seem like

ACH reversals are horrible when they mistakenly happen. They really are a selling point for getting paid in cryptocurrency.

I think there are more ways to make money from open source than that blog post lays out. I thought the SFOSC docs do a good job surveying the possible business models with open source -> https://sfosc.org/docs/book&

I would probably still say Lenovo. Although ordering on their website was the single worst eCommerce experience I ever had. Mine might be a bit dated, but you might be able to find one on eBay for pretty cheap now. I switched from an MBP

What happens if the vote is altered after the voter has received their piece of paper?

This seems like the perfect application for zk-snarks. (i.e. prove that a valid vote occurred, but not where the vote came from).

Exactly. They are well aware of the fact that Android users are left out in the cold. They are only able to do this because of their market position. If they really cared all they would have to do is create an iMessage API and the commun

There is no such thing as "filing as an LLC". When you form an LLC by default the IRS considers the LLC a disregarded entity and will tax you just as if you were a sole proprietorship. (i.e. you will report your income on schedu

He wasn't implying it was free money. He simply means you're paying the employer's portion as well when you are self-employed. There is no reason to do this on excess income once you have paid yourself a reasonable salary.

I hate how this information is so spread out so I will try to condense this: (1) Register your domain name and setup email (GSuite is simple enough). I put this first, because it is nice to have all the business communications actually goi

Keybase is a great way to do company onboarding. Have a new employee setup a Keybase account (if they don't have one already) and now you have a simple and secure way to have conversations and exchange files (e.g. W-4 forms, insurance
