It makes a lot of sense. The anti-competitive dynamics of these big tech companies is obvious to everyone now. It's time to reconsider how these big tech companies relate to capitalism so that the rest of us can shift our focus back to

Bitcoin helps to solve a massive problem (centralization) so I wouldn't say it's not worth it. That said, there are many PoS and DPoS cryptocurrencies to choose from which use almost no electricity and would actually help to decen

Talent is real but software companies are useless at selecting for it. Perhaps they're not actually interested in talent. They don't want talented developers, they want compliant employees who will do exactly what their superior t

I wonder why these so-called 'serial entrepreneurs' don't get tired of playing this phony game of crony capitalism... Why don't they try real capitalism. The one where you take a real risk and produce real value. Bootstr
