I remember the term social network being used in the BBS era. Sure, maybe it wasn’t called like that all the time, but it’s not a term from the 2010s either?

I launched something similar in 2014 - a few years too early, I guess: https://betalist.com/startups/thedailycrunch Good luck with your service :) officially supporting apps on the Kindle would open up a very interesti

How accurate is this: > “Tiananmen Square Massacre is a taboo subject, most Chinese under the age of 25 have never even heard about it. Websites that mention the "June 4 Incident" are blocked in China.”? Is it really that burri

It can be cunning, but it can also be smart, knowledgeable or clever, depending on tone and context. And can also mean “paying attention” (in parts of the country - “tá esperto”). I believe the original meaning is closer to knowledgeable (f

This is akin to saying “love the country or leave it”. If people have the chance to openly disagree with leadership, they probably can try to effect change - quitting is just giving up and letting those in favor of the status quo to keep dr

And you assume a company as big as Twitter doesn’t do all that because...?

You’d ban half of Twitter. It’s pretty much impossible to differentiate an actual “person typing like a bot” from a legitimate user that, say, likes to tweet memes a lot. People that think this is an easy problem just don’t have the slighte

Many, many “bots” are just people paid to tweet

by herval 6y ago
Pretty sure they could get rid of all the bots if a) it was a non profit and b) people didn’t cry “censorship!” every time they do anything to curb abuse and c) it would be ok to deactivate a % of real users by accident (these researchers c

Sorry, I meant specifically the combo of bacon & eggs. Bacon, historically, isn't a breakfast food - it just became a staple in the US due to a lot of marketing, trying to make it sound "healthier" than it is (in particul

Given Fb has offices in many states, couldn’t they simply “transfer” you to the state closer to your home, instead of keeping your base in California?
