I think it really boiled down to the fact the market for "paid Twitter" was too small to support the kind of network effects required to create an entire ecosystem.

I never said wage growth was going to magically reappear because of this. I think wage stagnation is a side effect of globalization, personally. Employers arbitaging labor costs across oceans and borders is very effective at slowing the wag

I'm not interested in "winning" or being "right". I'm more interested in providing information that people can use to make up their own minds. Well, unless its politics and then I just want "my side"

I didn't state you had a bias.

by opendais 12y ago
Yes. I don't have a bias so pointing out the potential availability issue if you make a mistake makes sense. However, you asked for banks and/or major email providers. I figured it was close enough since I knew that one off the to

Does anyone else think this is the perfect example of why Texting apps just need like 3 macros when you have a blank message so you can just tap them? Hi / Yes / No That is really all the functionality this provides.

Well, yes. That is kind of the point.

Yes. And with the right laws you can reduce that to reasonable levels.

This is just depressing, honestly. It is pretty clear they just want to collect all of the data "just in case" you might one day become a suspect. :/ Sadly, unless you can convince the electorate to keep kicking people out un

Why? You vote online, you print a paper ballot, you print a copy of the ballot for your own records, you mail the paper ballot so it can be verified in the event of a dispute. If anything, that would be more secure than what we do now since
