    Cinema has been dead for a while. The people angry at Martin Scorcese for saying Marvel movies are like theme-park rides will turn around and say that they only want spectacle from their theater going experience. (BTW this is a good case fo

    I'd go one further; Bitcoin as a payment method only makes sense if it is illegal, safe from State and inter-state meddling.

    Madoff claims he was just a front-man for a conspiracy by large investors. Which is why he was supposedly not caught. The theory makes sense, but he refused to name names. It might be that the benefactors are too powerful, but probably he&#

    Mobile Notifications, better controls. Also native code means better performance. Also nobody uninstalls apps, so you have access to notifications permanently. It is the only unhindered marketing channel, especially on iOS/iPadOS.
