Personally, not particularly. Sure they're different, but it's not for the government to decide that they should be blocked, especially if it's legal for a portion of the populace to view them. If a parent doesn't want a

But that's true of a good portion of currency. The USD became a fiat currency in 1971.

You can run Ghost on that VPS...

The biggest problem with that is a huge portion of the WP audience is using whatever cheap shared hosting they can find, which is great for WP, because PHP and MySQL are ubiquitous when it comes to shared hosts, but Node (which is what Ghos

You could still pay that $5/month; just get a cheap VPS or other host that supports Node.js, and run Ghost yourself. I think Digital Ocean (which has a $5/month plan) has a really simple Ghost installer.

Like jaryd said, it's open source, which makes the biggest difference: Ghost can be hosted on your own server where Medium can only be used on Medium's servers. Which is a huge deal for some people (myself included). I don'

Well, it's not Cards for Humanity. The entire point is to be against humanity. Whereas a corporate entity that wants to seem inclusive (at least on the surface) should probably be for humanity...

That's because Turtle Graphics is logo. In Python.

Considering that the article was a transcription of a speech given in Sydney, I would think "we all" is humanity in general.

I suppose. But do their personal interactions before matter?

Even if you download it elsewhere first (where elsewhere equals not Google)?

What do you mean "never heard the back story"? The post linked to a pull request and commit that are the back story...

So ... you do it all locally? Especially because the above hinged on higher powered computers. I don't doubt that Google could do this right now...

Why? Why should they open source it, followed by, how do you propose the developers make money on it?

No one said the Ubuntu community is a meritocracy.

I don't know the specifics, but most of the backlash against Mir is political (and rightly deserved). Canonical had originally stated they were going to support wayland, like most other distros, but were suddenly overcome with a huge c

Remove the living organisms component, and it's almost exactly what people are talking about when they refer to a software ecosystem. I don't see your problem.

I don't think that's a fair comparison. OS X doesn't rely on Windows developers to make it better, Ubuntu needs other developers from across the Linux community to get better. You can't really do "closed" Lin

To be fair, the article's actual title seems slightly less link-bait-y.

That just explains the appeal of Keynesian economics to corporations and the government. The problem is that we kinda need to worry about the long term affects of things, because not doing so is what got us in our current mess with the envi

I would think it has to do with how many other things link to the provided pages, considering that's the gist of how PageRank works. It might exclude the main http://google.com because you're doing a site search, and i

The aside in the third sentence really bugged me. It seemed to imply that Bitcoin isn't a fiat currency, but considering it, like the US Dollar which it mentioned, doesn't have any intrinsic value, isn't it also a fiat curren

That seems to be about as useful as they are so far as I can determine. And I've talked to a member of their team.

Can someone explain the appeal of Clinkle to me? I've tried to understand it, but even one of their marketers couldn't explain to me how it was better than carrying your wallet around.

And knowing people or coming from money is the technological meritocracy?

That's the big issue though; most people who like to write about how Android isn't good for some rather stupid reason probably haven't really given enough thought to ... anything. What confuses me most is that it looks like m
