I love the way Brian Eno phrased not exactly this idea, but something tangential, which follows in full: > “Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, th

I agree with you that exchanges are the problem, in that you are just reinventing banks, but with worse regulation and extra steps, both cost and environmental. I would though suggest that cryptocurrencies wouldn't be fraction of where

Just a few years ago I was mainly annoyed at search results from Pinterest. Now I can barely read any twitter/reddit/facebook links without login walls. So much for an open internet.

My anecdotal observations are closer to; successful people aren't critical thinkers enough to argue themselves out of ideas and they just do stuff naively and customers can only buy products that exist, not hypothetical better products

The obvious followup question is, does a horse dose of ivermectin give humans any symptoms? Because the introduced question was regarding characterization of proponents, not the rate injury.

This is a blogger who took time out of their day to do this. Why do you have to be catered to to be convinced? The blogger didn't produce any new data, it was already there, you chose to ignore it, or rather, picked something else to b

That an Apple product can work might technically be data, but it's generally assumed from it launching. It would just be noise if everyone chimed in here.

You seem to be missing the point. Britannica or Wikipedia or any publisher of most facts/definitions/similar don't actually own those facts or definitions, you pay them for their work in packaging it and, I guess, phrasing. T

In all your examples you are paying someone to print something. Wikipedia asks you to pay for hosting, staff and further development (if you want to). But no one has copyright on the definition of a metre. You are free to type it on a paper

I care for activists, and still think everyone should be equal in the eyes of the law. They're not mutually exclusive, which I assume is why GP asked. Activists usually oppose forces with an outsized legal sway which puts the activists
