That's the line of thinking that began destroying Soundcloud's image. I used to be a heavy user and stopped when they started playing ads because I knew a subscription model must be in the works. Now they've completely backpe

Excuse me, but I'm willing to pay for the kind of advances to society Musk is attempting. Musk using tax credits is not why we don't have a good healthcare or education system. Blame defense spending an lobbying for that one. But

> Nothing but fawning adoration from programmers. That is a narrow way to look at things and is not the full picture. Plenty of people protested and still protest Google's unethical business practices.

Ha yeah that's not gonna work. Well, I say that, but thinking long term, it does kind of seem inevitable. Somehow we're going to have to come to terms with having every embarrassing moment of our lives outside of our home being re

Too bad that has nothing to do with the topic at hand, namely end-to-end communication between two individually-operated clients.

Not just the looks. It says right there in the source you provided that MPC-BE "not only looks better than MPC, but also performs faster"

Were you unhappy with the fact that no one felt like arguing with your reply to SpaceManiac, so you're trying again? The scenario you presented, client <-> server, has nothing to do with wisty's original statement, "As

The real irony would be that if I found this video hosted anywhere else, it would be IP theft because the creators post it to Youtube. Your comment is unnecessary.

I'm in the same boat. Hadn't bothered to check out their license yet. Kinda makes me wary about using it for any social platform.

Sorry, but that's just wrong. End-to-end encryption has a specific definition that you can't distort just to play devil's advocate.

Consider an alternate perspective: There were other platforms that opted for a longer format. Yet Twitter became popular. Perhaps the reality is that, had Twitter opted for a longer format, another platform would have taken its place. Twitt

The phrase killer app first appears in print circa 1986 according to Google Ngram Viewer [0]. While a search for just app with Ngram Viewer would contain too much noise, we can reasonably assume that app must have been prevalent in te

Ok... Then explain why it was common to encounter the phrase "killer app" in marketing materials in the 80's.

You are conflating Bitcoin with decentralized currency.

by kakarot 9y ago
Decentralized currency comes with its own strengths and weaknesses. The tech is still in its infancy. Take it or leave it.

"The music industry" has nothing to do with artists of previous generations, except that they still try to make money from them. Participating in that scheme in order to appreciate their art is entirely optional. "The music i

You're comparing physical goods that are expensive to produce well with a piece of encoded information that costs nothing to mass-produce. That's not a good analogy, and you know it.

The RIAA did not "create" the bands and artists that I enjoy. Some of them chose big labels, many didn't. Many of them are/were independent. Maybe some people find enjoyment in different things than you. What do you thin

Unfortunately, some of us consider listening to music to be a big part of who we are, and 10 songs a month is akin to suicide. With newer labels, it's much easier to stream from bandcamp, etc. but with older music it can be hard to fin
