Exactly. the problem with email tools is that it's built by people who think everyone receives thousands of emails. 99.999% of the world only receives less than 10 emails per day. They have no such problem as "information overload

I would disagree. Before iPhone, all the phone vendors and telecom vendors tried to create their own sketchy "platform". Also I would say "apart from gamers, people just don't want it" is the same reaction as people

Why will it take off in the next couple of years? Any changes coming?

This sounds logical but do you think it will be mainstream as in Instagram level mainstream? Maybe a bit more explanation will be helpful.

Can you elaborate? And why do you think it will go mainstream in the next few years?

I don't use 4chan but always assumed they never had a mod and that was the whole point of the site. Interesting! Who exactly is the mod?

Gmail consolidation is happening not because of some evil plan, it's happening because of the economics. In fact it's exactly the same reason why Mozilla is increasingly not sustainable. Email hosting is simply not a lucrative bus

Most people only need to know git commit, git push, git pull, and just a handful of commands. It is by design that something like this is not included into the original interface. It would be. terrible design.

This has nothing to do with my argument. My point is that the reality is a huge chunk of internet usage does not happen inside a browser. Whether it's a good idea or not is irrelevant. The fact that there exists a Microsoft Word powere

You could make a case that most internet platforms are increasingly social. Think about what would be left if you took away all "social" apps from the internet. Even if we don't go that far, think about non-social online apps

The issue is not the fact that Google owns the web. It is that the web itself has become decimated to the point where a company like Mozilla does not have a future. Facebook, Uber, TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Whatsapp, etc. None of them ar

Terrible landing page. I have no idea how this works exactly even after browsing through the site for a while and clicking around. All the explanations just look like superficial rambling and don't really tell you how the product itsel

Bitcoin was not designed as a state machine, but as a way to store transactions which can be used to construct a state machine offchain. Ethereum tries to implement a fully self contained state machine in its system. This is where all its p

It's interesting how the industry is shaking up in so many different ways lately. 1. TikTok and WeChat getting banned (This will also have a huge side effect for Apple) 2. Uber and Lyft regulated to classify drivers as employees 3. Inf

If you look it up, there are plenty of articles of rumors saying that the VCs schemed to kick him out because they wanted to IPO and the founder didn't.

That only worked when China was a small country economically. Once China passes the U.S. and becomes the #1 economic superpower, none of this matters. These small fish "allies" are not really important. > I'm amazed at the

I assure you, all american entrepreneurs are deeply bothered by this. Uber lost in China mainly because of this.

To be fair, the founder didn't want to do IPO and according to rumors that was the reason why he was kicked out. All the toxic workplace stuff was just a narrative tool to make it happen more easily. Also, it's a public market. No

Uber will be always better at this game than Lyft will ever be. This is why I think Lyft will be dead when this happens. The only reason Uber couldn't dominate was because there was a factor of "choice". Now that the drivers

But it's not a "spare time". A driver literally has to constantly make decisions whether to take the next Uber call or Lyft call. A lot of drivers have both Uber and Lyft apps running and take the ones they prefer at the mome

If Uber and Lyft are forced to classify drivers as employees, doesn't that mean these companies will try to lock them in? For example Uber won't allow their drivers to work for Lyft, and vice versa. If this is the case, I think Ly

This is a common misunderstanding coming from people whose first language is English. There is a wider world where they prefer ".length" over some english sentence. Even the ".length" is difficult for them but it's
