   Techcrunch clearly very worried about this. Josh Constine just uploaded a fairly hysterical rant about it here: http://techcrunch.com/2015/10/20/smoothing-publishers-out-of... The publishing economy has been

   Strongly dislike this trend. Comments are audit in a badly-regulated industry. Open discussion of content will undoubtedly play a role in the future of journalism. This is clearly a step backwards, not forwards. I don't think this is r

   Deleting comments, locking threads created by reasonable people - in general, over-zealous mods suppressing the voices of users who don't toe the party line - is an unforgivable sin if you're trying to manage an online community,

   Temporarily disabled by default but they turn them on for certain articles. They claimed this was because comments had become too negative. It is possible they are genuinely just trying to protect the mental health of their staff who are us

    Sorry to read about this. I too regarded Frontback as a feature rather than a new messaging paradigm. But I can see how you might say the same about Snapchat.

    The Verge has some interesting long-form from time to time but it's subsidised by endless clickbait and empty 'conversation-starter' content. Not to mention their recent move to close Comments being a cynical strategy to get

    Hi Tomas! Is this a razor + blade play? i.e. do you aim to make most of your money from selling beans?

    Investors like to categorise ideas into macro tech trends and hypotheses. There's a good reason for this but it also means you can miss the biggest ideas (the space-defining ideas). I imagine a lot of investors looked at Airbnb and tho

    Thoughts: 1. Felt a little strange signing up without understanding anything about your process. How are you planning to match me with other people? You don't know much about me yet. 2. I would definitely be interested to meet with a b

    Thanks for this. Looks v useful and nice Github page as well. I'm about to get back into iOS development and this will definitely come in handy. Creating super-silky UITableViews is a surprisingly nuanced task. Definitely recycling ima

    Is the author's definition consistent with that?

    So, if you plot a three dimensional graph of y = f^(N)(x) (axes: x, y, N), I wonder what it would look like, for, say, f(x) = x. Anyone handy with Matlab?

    Author seems pretty certain there are no applications and that his/her definition is just arbitrary but I wonder... ?

    There won't be any policy-driven change in the education system of the kind that TED speakers would love to see. The system won't change meaningfully until the world around it changes first. That is to say, until private sector al

    Like the concept here. Would love a trial version, though. Slightly off-topic, but this reminds me of what Electric Objects are trying to achieve: essentially, this same app, but hanging on your wall. The future of art consumption for the m

    New to this space to trying to work out exactly how this works... 1. How are merchants charged for this? (e.g. flat fee or per points awarded or not at all) 2. How exactly do merchants benefit from this? I am assuming it's not going to
