The idea is solid on the surface, but I don't trust it's parent. Setting up hundreds of millions of internet machines to be reliant on a single corporation's service offerings is asking for disaster, and Cloudflare has a slee

I bet it'll be sooner than you think, probably part of the robot revolution that's being constructed in Italy and Japan and so on.

"there were zero toys at Toys-R-Us I'd want to buy for my kid." Looking over these comments I see a lot of adults talking about buying toys for their children as adults and you are all missing the entire point. The toys aren&

I'm not an expert on the subject but I think the problem is there's a "Boys" and "Girls" and "Toddlers" toy isle in every Walmart in America. They don't have the selection but they carry the hot

Your problem is you're viewing it from the perspective of an adult. It's not for you. Toys 'r' Us was always a walmart of toy stores. But when you're 3 feet high and playing with TMNT figures everything in the store

This is the first time I feel comfortable saying "But think of the children". How can this country be creating a world where children grow up without toy stores? When I was a kid Toys 'R' Us was a wonderland that excited

"If advertising is dead why are companies still shelling out millions" Think of it like a sponge, the water the sponge soaked up is money. Those companies are trying to wring out the last drops of water. Some people think the wate

We need to change the language, it's too soft. Paypal isn't "sharing" your data. They're "selling" your data. Sharing is Caring. If you want people to take these threats seriously you need to speak to them

Hacking videos to be more efficient is always a good idea. I hate when people take 5 minutes to explain something that could be said in 30 seconds with proper editing and planning. Go for it.

I think you are right, I had a weird feeling about my comment while writing it and I felt I was missing something. I don't think I'm wrong however. Perhaps it is that readers of hackernews are more in touch with certain things tha

"Where exactly would handle, say, just the email?" Don't take personal offense, the idea that you need some corporation to handle your E-mail is an ignorance, one that's reinforced by those very corporations' market

businesses fail all the time. The market adapts, what makes the internet any different? Advertising is dead, so if your revenue is 100% ad based start looking for new models before it dries up.

Yes. It happened in the manufacture of all other consumer goods so why wouldn't it happen in the manufacture of food? If you look far enough into the future all manual labor will be performed by machines. Don't be afraid of it, be

I've found a lot of technical documentation on people's personal blogs. Some bit of code they wrote or some problem they solved. We can socially encourage this kind of approach.

If people have a means to extract their Facebook posts and publish their content on their own blogs, then that value isn't really under Facebook control. It's a symbiotic relationship, and it's a safe bet that if Facebook wer

What centralization? The web isn't centralized. Consumer culture is centralized. Consumer culture on the web is what's failing. Facebook and Google and similar services are not "The Web" and they are not "The Intern
