How hard would it be to allow users on a server to sell their own personal data from a federated social network with both the server admin and some central authority taking a cut? I feel safe in saying that users being able to sell their ow

slashdot was one of the few news sites that stayed up during 9/11. I think there was even a follow-up technical article about how they kept it up that day.

I feel like once someone figures out what the next big thing in social media is, facebook will go the way of myspace. Here's the next big thing: a federated, open source network that allows users to sell their own data.

I loved c# 10 years ago but have a few issues with it these days: * functions not really being first-class citizens * great collection methods with LINQ, but why did they give them such weird names? (map = select, filter = where, reduce = a

Am I misunderstanding something, or does Entity Framework Core, even at version 2.0, not support translating LINQ code into GROUP BY in the generated SQL? That seems so unbelievable that I figure I have to be wrong here.

Flex had some good ideas but many things made it a pretty bad experience to work with: Adobe abandoning WYSIWYG editing in Flash Builder, having two ways to do everything (XML and code) made things more confusing than it had to be, and the

With cloud services being as cheap and available as they are, what's to stop a federated social network from really taking off? Is there a chicken and egg problem here? Why can't a decentralized social network displace Facebook th
