Rather than "build our own" we should take back what used to belongs to us in the first place. They say there's a shortage of qualified I.T. people. If you work for telecoms who support a non-neutral internet, then quit. Go o

They wouldn't do it at a lower cost. They'd charge you $50 for E-mail, $100 for streaming video, or $120 for the whole bundle. It would match their existing model for bundled services.

His name is phonetically "suckerberg". Do we really have to tolerate Facebook and it's hideous negative influence on the world? We make all of this stuff up, we can do whatever we want, let's just get rid of it.

Why would anyone ever think they should link to off-site resources? My guess is their only real experience with the web is a few years in college.

All of those "freelancer" websites are scams. Freelancing is about not working for other men. It's about being your own boss. Those websites are not really freelancing, they're temp agencies hiring out short term contrac

Patreon probably uses a credit card processor that prohibits selling pornography, as many of them do. If you're an original content creator you should not be using Patreon as your sole source of income. Patreon is a good way to get att
