The "open web" is really an Eden-like myth, as there has and always will be stakeholders with various agendas chicaning the free exchange of information. Sorry, yes, but we really are opportunistic fucks. Not to Gordon Gecko lev

It's disappointing that tech journalists don't go a bit harder at the founders when writing pieces like these. Sure, it's interesting to find out about Instagram's internal processes and their projections, but Facebook

I recommend checking out a record that came out in 1984 by a guy called Manuel Göttsching called E2E4. I'm sure a lot of coders here know it, as it's brilliant for concentration and is just a beautiful piece of music in its own r

Well LA is a county, as well as a city. Therefore the perceived featurelessness stems from the huge geographic spread. The city of LA does have metropolitan aspects, but this doesn't extend to Santa Monica, Compton, East LA, etc.
