   I wonder if myspace could capitalize on soundcloud disappearing. If they learn from the mistakes they and soundcloud made in the past than myspace could have quite a comeback. Can't really imagine this happening, though.

    Trust, however, is not a miracle drug. For one thing, people can build trust with the intend to abuse it after a longer period of time. An abuser, for example, could plan to offer 20 "good rides" on Uber until s/he strikes. F

    Instead of focusing on growth they should focus on their business model. More users cause more noise first and foremost. How is noise going to help long term sustainability?

    Great idea and nicely done. Having said that, this is quite depressing. While the creator does give some positive tips at the end re what we can do to change the situation, they're hardly of any help. The problem is that we can never b

    I love archive.org but they have to start becoming a) very careful indeed and b.) better at cleaning up the content that has been uploaded. By this time there is an insane amount of illegal content on it like ripped CDs and copies of books

    From solely reading the headline I had no idea how far the author took this. Kudos for this very interesting piece of "research"! I am surprised by the horrible outcome, though, since meeting 150 women is quit a lot. I'd have

    Yeah, it seems "search" isn't as untouchable as it used to be. Qwant, for instance, may not be a 100% there but it is quite good. https://www.qwant.com/

    This is just great! Just yesterday I got a new laptop with a skylake processor. Now I wonder whether I experienced that bug today as I got kicked out of dosbox (on debian) for no apparent reason. In the config file I had to change the value

    When they list the fears they forgot an important one: discrimination. Of course, discrimination has always been a problem but I'd like to believe we see some progress in "classical areas" (for instance sexism). The problem w
