In a regulation-free market Coinbase would not exist or better alternatives would just be forked into existence.

The maintainer may see issues as "something that they should fix", vs "something that could be fixed". If they see it as the former and have no intention of working on it, then closing makes sense. I don't think

I've had the same problem. They locked my account which I was using since 2015 by invalidating my KYC and refusing new verification attempts. The support emails take days/weeks to get answered or stay ignored, and didn't lead

Some time ago I had a sign in attempt with password on my Google account. Inputting the password on the Boox was one of my theories as to how it was stolen. I've since made a dedicated account for the device, and the sign-in is now don

People have been developing apps and alternative shells for the Kobo for a long time. It's a bit more involved than the Remarkable but nothing close to jailbreaking a walled garden device.

The URL preview would be a killer feature for sharing on social networks.

The use cases that come to mind are sharing previews of code snippets on platforms that don't support code formatting/highlighting like Twitter or Medium. The cleaner fake UI of this site, uncluttered by any warning or other edito

I agree assets with fixed inflation, be them cryptocurrencies or precious metals, make poor currencies, but some cryptocurrency projects are actually working on algorithmically price-stable currencies (ie. a cryptocurrency with a dynamic su

That's precisely the main innovation of Bitcoin. Without the aid of a central authority, people are able to decide on a set of rules that must be respected to play in the market. People can switch to different "markets" with

Going from OP's story, his whole website was blacklisted from using Google Ads.

In that case the ad networks themselves should provide tools that automatically detect forbidden words and disable ads, instead of arbitrarily enforcing their policy on random small players.

What we should accept is that platorms which are not designed to be neutral, won't be. Is the problem that Google caries with it the puritan American culture, or that too many people which might not share that culture rely on Google?

There's a reason for the hype around web3. The more time passes the more pressing the demand for it, and the better the UX becomes.

A derivative take on this is that getting people used to paying for internet services, would enable more respectful platforms that need the subscription revenue, to exist. I also would never pay for participation in a monolithic user-gene

That's all fine and I agree with your comment, but in the legal case that's the subject of the article, the rooster owners were the new neighbors, and the area looks fairly urban.

Agreed. I use containers everyday including multiple add-ons that layer over it, but the whole UX still feels incomplete/hackish. Given the number of people who seem to swear by them, polishing it should be a priority before another br

Especially with Apple, the ecosystems are so big that the choice given to users is weak. Do users chose between an open phone and a closed one, or between a phone that connects with their laptop and their earphones, or a phone that can Face

So you're asserting that the only reason developers would keep developing for the Apple App Store is if they have no other choice? Security guarantees are a sales-pitch, hard to get numbers on that but I bet I'm not the only one t

That's right, but Epic is also in actively working against supporting Linux. Walled gardens are bad, but Epic is definitely not a company that will fight that fight. They just want the iOS userbase. There's no sense in supporting

The current Bitcoin narrative and actual usage does nothing for the "market economy" though. It might have some indirect positive effects by forcing governments to adopt more open policies lest they suffer from capital flight and

The bar is low with Coinbase, and I was replying to a specific unwarranted praise about Binance, already mentioning that it's indeed arguably the best exchange overall.

Sure, praise for their business execution is warranted. It might even be allocating so little resources to the surface product (UI/UX) that's allowed them to move so fast in other more important avenues like liquidity, diversity o

Most of what they developed is customization over white label solutions (that's how the main exchange was started), and acquisitions. The UI is a convoluted mash-up of different systems. Try using their margin trading. They're spe
