That's what I like about Twitter-- it's a global cocktail party. People tweet to one another about anything regardless of whether they know each other or what their relative socioeconomic background is. It is what it is. It's

Yes, that's likely the rationale. This is the counter argument to the freedom argument: good, consistent design and UX seems to require totalitarianism. Otherwise you get a confusing hodge podge of junk. I'm starting to see this w

Mobile and its existing paradigm is practically a religion in the valley. Have fun yelling at the wind. :(

Good economy, affordable housing, NIMBYism: pick two. Liberal cities tend to be NIMBY cities -- there's a lot of zoning, an anti-development mindset among many, and other restrictions on new construction. These cities also tend to have

The latter. Also there is no "complete." See Godel's incompleteness theorem and the Church-Turing theorem. I'm also explicitly an anti-platonist, or rather more precisely a "post-Platonist." The problem with Pl

It's not just a political issue -- I agree that most people don't care about that stuff. It also grossly limits what you can do. In practice this means that PCs and their unlocked OSes will continue to hold onto their market niche

That's a religious heresy to this movement. What you wrote is tantamount to suggesting a Christian worship Satan.

It's not a hardware limit that keeps mobile from wholly eating desktop, but a software one. Mobile OSes are intentionally crippled and locked down at the OS layer. You don't own or control your device, and only approved software c

Don't disagree with the market numbers, but there's a problem with mobile. It is best illustrated by the fact that I csnnot develop a mobile app on a mobile device. There won't be any "convergence" until mobile OSes

I studied complexity, evolution, emergent behavior, etc. quite a bit, and I think this is a mirage. More accurately, it's confirmation bias. Mathematics is only unreasonably effective at describing the subset of physical systems for wh

The celebrity nude hack is a good case in point. "The cloud means some knucklehead from 4chan might steal all your data because they don't like your blog posts" has a certain ring to it. It also might be helpful to drop &quot

I sometimes wonder if politics is biased toward this kind of thing, since much of politics is about finagling advantage. Truth, fact, and reality offers little opportunity for deception, duplicity, and issue smuggling.

For the same reason that evolution, global warming, the historical study of religion, etc. are controversial: it conflicts with popular political beliefs and leads to taboo discussions. It's taboo to both the left and the right. Both l

I thought capital gains taxes only applied to gains . You're not taxing savings, and losses can be written off against gains. The inflation problem could be mitigated with a structure that takes this into account. I can think of other

The "disclosure" movement is not the most credible source on this, even among those who take UFOs very seriously. The heads of this movement are complete crackpots. Unfortunately they've taken some otherwise very interesting

We need an analogue of Godwin's law for the use of the phrase "conspiracy theory." It's a term used by naive establishmentarians to discredit any attempt to dig into the darker reaches of politics, even when the stuff be

Would that fit under the wider heading of trade secrets? Interesting... hadn't thought of business process trade secrets, but that's a whole category I suppose.
