From the name I assumed it was about breaking out of filter bubbles, which is something I'm very interested in. A couple of years ago I created a news mixer that pulled stories from left and right-leaning outlets and intermingled them:

AliExpress does this too. When you are looking at a product and want to share it, one of the share options is AliExpress code. It copies a message to your clipboard, which is this: To view 【US $21.83 40％ Off | 10 Pcs KN95 Face Masks Dust R

This is really quite short-sighted. Sure, customers like this in the short term. But this hurts the website owner. e.g. 1: You are a restaurant or retailer and your potential customers search Google for your hours of operation or phone numb

The same thing happened to my .cm domain with Namecheap a few weeks ago. They were eventually able to recover it. But there was no communication from them for quite a few days.

Nothing in the article quotes anything directly from the founders about geographical separation of economic centers and political capitals. Lobbying has already corrupted Washington. There is no logical argument in the article. It seems to

Nice! Could you please augment that list with links to the HN threads about the release of each? A list like that is the starting point but often the pros and cons are found in HN discussions.

Isn't that the point though? It was B's inventory that was fake so why should A get in trouble?

I'd argue this is a feature and not a bug. When copy-pasting text from PDFs, I'd love to not have to deal with unicode and ligatures. There's another comment upthread here where someone's complaining about having to deal

I've been looking for a low-cost provider so I signed up for Elasticemail. Their new account confirmation email went to Gmail's spam folder. Not a good sign :( I guess I'll have to keep looking.

This is truly sad because RSS clearly fulfills a need that Facebook/Twitter feeds never will. Just last month I launched a bipartisan political news aggregator to force us out of our filter bubbles[1]. The only way I was able to do tha

We are at a time in history when we could benefit from reading _alternative_ points of view rather than remain trapped in our ideological bubbles.

The headline is misleading. It says ICOs "die". The actual article says that after 3-6 months, returns from a cryptocurrency are no better than the overall crypto market. This is like saying after 6 months of an IPO, the stock doe

Bitcoin today is where computers were in 1979. A little embarrassed to admit it but I feel like the short-sighted interviewer who fails to see the applications of the technology.

It's clear that the money is in the enterprise business and not their consumer business. The problem for Dropbox is that storage is commoditized. For them to make money, they need to become a collaboration platform. Storage is a necess
