Exactly. The author is just confused. Web3 doesn't require anyone to pay anything.

So true. In my opinion Stephen makes the mistake of mixing the technology (Blockchains) with the Ponzi schemes that some people use them for. To give an analogy, the internet is used for crime, but it would be wrong to say it was invented f

I disagree with this article. It is extremely rare to have s time of people who are senior enough to own their work to a point that they don't need stand ups. And even then, miscomunication will inevitably happen. In my experience, sta

Alright, if that's the filter people need to pass before you listen to their arguments then I'll tell you the list of languages I am productive in: Javascript, PHP, Haskell, Rust, C++ and LISP. I'm familiar with the benefits

I think arguments against PHP could be make against many other languages, ie: Javascript or python. But they are not done as much and I think this indicates that people make those arguments in bad faith. If we say once a better language com

My point was that it was ironic for people to say that PHP becoming more Java-like was a bad thing, but then they said that they prefer Java to PHP. You are right, I did sneak in there that I find PHP less verbose than Java as an advantage,

It means the start of a variable name, as simple as that, it isn't anything significant. Maybe it was made to make parsing the language easier at the time, who cares? You can get used to that in 10 min and move on with your life, it is

You are proving my point by defending Java against PHP because my argument was that being more like Java isn't a negative thing. The productivity point was a secondary point but when it comes to building websites I think people can bui

I haven't found any good arguments against PHP in the comments here, just pure hate. Let's name a few of the arguments people are making: 1. Its variables start with $ and that is ugly: I mean, come on, I won't even entertai

This is really bad. I don't know how much money they have left but I cannot imagine they can continue blowing up prototipes that took weeks to build every other week like this.

Let's face it. Microsoft is a business and at any point in the future it might change course if it has economic preasures to do so. It can only keep being "good" as long as it has a stream of money coming in that allows this

I love what Firefox stands for. They are not the only one but for sure they are keeping the balance of the web when it comes to privacy and security. Unfortunately as their market share drops, they have less and less say in the future of th

This is true for most of the finding. But not for politics, in my opinion. I think people are more likely to get polalized in Facebook than in ycombinator. In fact it is known that political campaigns invest heavily in facebook adds. And t

Polarization has been the trend in the western world for the last decade, slowly but surely countries are being divided and polirized more and more. It doesn't paint a good picture of the future for sure, and social media is part of th

I don't need to be a dictator to know better than other people. It is just a fact that some people know better than others. You seem to be implying that you know more than me by taking the higher road, you dictator! :P

Because we know it's not the cleverest idea in the world and therefore we don't want to play that game. No-one is opposing separatism by the way, it's just that the whole country has to agree. The catalans signed up to the co

No, that's just one of the reasons. Again EU and Scotland aren't a country. I don't know why people just keep comparing different things like they are the same? Do you want to propose a solution to people who live in cataluny

No-one is violently forcing provinces they don't even live in to stay in their country so I'm not sure what you are insinuating there. People were disrupting public order and doing an illegal activity (referendum) with public mone

Also, what do you plan to do with the half of catalans who don't support independence? Oppress them perhaps? Neglect their culture and language? It's turtles all the way down

How does Spain oppress people who speak another language exactly? I thought it was totally legal to speak catalan everywhere in catalunya including schools. Am I missing something?

Sorry but you are comparing apples to oranges. The EU is not a country, it is a club of countries. The EU doesn't and never will have the power to choose whether a member state can leave or not. That's how it is. So it is wrong to

100% people talk about the catalonya issue like they should just be able to break free without understanding the first thing about the issue. It just proves that people are so easy to manipulate with propaganda-like videos that catalonya pr
