It's probably a flaw of public attention that fame isn't linked to the field it is gained in.

I never understood how inverting a statement and adding the "fixed that for you" meme is adding any value to other readers.

I'll use Keep for everything the moment they add attachments, rich text and a clipper. It's already pretty close to what I need..

I wish they would ditch the business focus and return to plain old "remember everything". Who on earth needs features like "work chat"?

Since the group of users that would consider paying a yearly fee is also the most valuable group to advertisers, the devaluation might end up being very drastical.

I know that it's a strong word but this article feels like pure propaganda to me. Others can easily focus on bringing a different free service to unconnected parts of the world. There is no additional barrier introduced by Facebooks ef

I bet that's something nobody on 4chan ever wasted a single thought on.

Hmm. Interesting. Any link on that last sentence?

This will probably help Google to decide whether some email someone marked as spam is actual spam or just something the user didn't like to receive.

If you are implying the US is somehow close to what neoliberal thinkers would propose, that couldn't be more wrong. Neoliberalism doesn't mean watered down free-market liberalism. The term describes a certain movement in (classica

I don't like the rape town phrase either. This, however, sounds pretty elitist to me. I hope HN doesn't get more progressive but stays as uniquely diverse as it is.

AFAIK abp does work by simulating a VPN on your system and therefore being able to block all resources channeled through this VPN. I don't know if that counts as system level. In comparison: Adaway (which needs root) edits the hosts fi

Now that they added tagging, I feel like the only things they need to add to replace Evernote for me is real, all-type attachments, (simple) formatting and a web clipper.

Network aside, I thought the debate originally arose from the fact that few are sure about which problem twitter currently tries to solve. I'm not a twitter power user but I have the feeling that if they keep solving just this problem

It's public policy, not a car sale. There won't be any valuable guarantee for anyone.

I am very much against the UBI but I don't see the tracking issue you mention. I'd love to know more about it!

Cringle transactions are only free since very recently. Prior to that they wanted something between 10 to 20 cent per transaction. Even worse they seem to need six days for your transaction. (It's three days per transaction and they tr

I never ever wasn't "away" in ICQ and most in my friend list did the same. In my narrow experience its use tends to erode pretty quickly.

I don't get why he thinks a sharing economy couldn't do all the things he points out to be bad without being mislabeled. He can argue "disruption" by rule breaking is a somehow objectively bad thing. He can believe that

That's a funny question since full time with benefits is clearly not an option in this business model. To ask if they would prefer living rich without working would be equally demagogic.

It is perfect. The most annoying problem with Hangouts is that I have to load the whole Gmail tab for answering a single message on my laptop. This tool is a lot faster. I zoomed to 125%, adblocked the bing background image & the now cr

Yep. But that is often left out. (No accusation intended. It's just something people forget.)

Is that some kind of game? Adding the letters MBA to every comment?

I don't get this "fair and structured approach" in those models. You'd normally start off with a normative claim and then provide a justification in every sheme available. The normative claim is the core hypothesis and y

But all those reflexions on the issue are completely determined by the random assumptions you use in your examples. Kant 1. Imp: One could deny the disappearance or embrace it. One could see the new forces leading the web away from ads as s

I think it's because the ad-networks don't want to trust the site owners. Which is understandable since there are colliding interests between advertisers, site owners, users and ad-networks.

No, paying for a website and being the reason some website is enabled to make money aren't the same things. This is because the most important part in the whole process of wealth creation is it's incentive structure. Reducing it t
