Counterpoint: I wrote my Master Thesis on Value Networks in 2004. While I got a perfect grade on it it was largely unnoticed. Now with Social+ and Crypto getting together, it becomes really useful for my work almost two decades later. So I

I platinumed Forbidden West yesterday. It is a beautiful game. But it lacks the magic of the first one where I was walking around slowly around the world wondering what might have happened. Now I know. And it can't be replicated. It&#x

I noticed this problem is especially prevalent in US American news. There is more opinion, opinions of opinions, and breaking news of opinions than news in the news. Who cares if AOC slams Ted Cruz or Tucker Carlson reacts to Rachel Maddo

Targeted advertisement is an illusion in my opinion. We have been made believe that it is a game changer for advertisement. But does it really work? I can only argue from running social campaigns in the past and while the charges to the cre

It takes a long while to validate this statistically though as default cohorts move through the lending cycle.

Advertising will change significantly in the years to come. All of this surveillance is not useful for both sides. I think we have reached a point where we can use better social networks and more fun concepts to connect with one another. Hi

Is there a way to have this async communication presented in a better way? I am on Discord, Telegram, and Slack sometimes with thousands of members. Yet, I mostly don't read posts anymore because it's just a full marketplace talki

I ran my last startup on cron-jobs. Many times I didn't notice if the job didn't execute. That was an immediate value proposition for me.

Exactly my thoughts as well. I have one point where I can see if all the remote services that I am using are operating correctly. I don't need to connect to various other apps to figure this out.

Oh I so tend to agree. Medium started off really well but started to lack moderation and it was quickly swamped with fluff opinion pieces and outdated half-assed IT instructions.

You are not wrong. Uber is still a multi-billion dollar company that provides useful services to many people. I used them last week to order food. In 2016, Uber was dominating the news cycle left and right. And by comparison, it has become

You read the title of the article? It literally says that Uber won't be as relevant as it was assumed to be in 2016.

I absolutely miss the Wired of the 1990's. When it was a magazine, no THE magazine, to read about the intersection of culture and tech. In this day and age, I find it hard to pickup a copy of Wired at the airport because it has content

You are absolutely right. Looking back at the days of Mafia Wars and Farmville. For these games social was a core aspect of their success. Now Roblox, Minecraft, and Fifa have incorporated similar features already. In 2022 it's not tha
