What's wrong with re-solving an existing problem? Isn't that the entire idea of "fearless refactoring" that several process models use to mitigate reliance on/complacence with archaic systems? I don't think &qu

Why would anyone invite you without knowing what they're recommending? For that matter, it sounds like the founder or someone who works there is in this thread, but even if you were going to appeal to them, the information you could gi

Dear god do I hope you are wrong. Though as an aside, in this content-recycling ecosystem, I can't see sites that highjack copy-pasting as being particularly successful. Rebloggers would just stick to sources they can easily bake into

the "community" solution only works at small scale/for niches. Given any degree of mainstream attention, 'just gunning them down' is like fighting the hydra. Niche sites thus chug along fine, but any generalized eff

Meanwhile, if you went to China, I doubt anyone there could tell you what your government was keeping from you. That's how good they are at regulating their information, and is precisely the reason why we need Wikileaks. There&#x27

Anonymously fulfilling a role doesn't morally obligate them to then do something else in the name of "fairness". What, do you want people to receive spy training and move to russia? In that case - why not do it yourself? If t

Do you think it takes a Steve Jobs to drum up supporters or detractors? You clearly don't understand cults of personality. They're not limited to household names.

If Amazon had governed its growth by deciding just to stay at where it "is", it'd still just be an online bookseller. And you'd be asking "why should they move into digital services? They're in a unique positio

Because if one works well, why stop there? Amazon isn't some tech startup with only a few hackers to focus on supporting their core product. They can easily maintain support for their core offerings while building out/up. As to wh

That's one of their strengths - a company as large as Amazon can easily spread itself into multiple concerns without endangering its core business. They can even shut out competition by adding new Prime benefits for various services.

The amount of denial in this thread is hilarious. Any level at which profit is made, you can assume Amazon will reach. They already have several large offerings at the application level, and there's no reason for them not to build or a
