If you want global adoption, make it open. That's what Android does. That's what Linux does. That's what cryptocurrency achieves. That's what Facebook wants.

Mine has been the opposite.. UPS was supposed to pick up a package for return once. They showed up, wrote "I'll pick up this package tomorrow." on the package's box, and never came back. I called UPS customer support 3 d

Yeah, but this seems trying to avoid the possibility of the universe having a beginning simply because it's unsettling; taking the less likely thought path because it conflicts with beliefs. I'm not saying that's what it is,

Am I wrong in thinking that this doesn't bode well for the value of the dollar over time, and will likely cause hyperinflation?

Does this really seem that incredible? Youtube marginalizes their users to this degree every day, and I would not imagine that they are the only internet company doing so.

I remember when HN was infatuated with Golang, and was on the front-page of HN what seemed like every day. Now all I see is Rust, and Golang is rarely seen. What happened? Did HN ditch Golang for a new girlfriend?

Miracles are not the root of why I consider Christianity to be rational. They're a possibility; a side-effect, not a proof. One of the foundational arguments I have is - our existence. We have no business being here, the mass we'r

I've seen a number of people portraying this censorship (as I had feared) as "proving them right", or making people wonder "what are they hiding?", further fueling the anti-vax fire. You just can't win. Hopeful

Is it though? I was a fan of the slimmed down approach. With how prolific Amazon is, most of the consumer market relies on reviews to discern which products to buy, and is better off for it. I've never had the experience of first-hand
