The site seems to be down now but mysinglefriend.com had a nice angle, you had to be recommended by other users. Or what about the old fashioned match maker that knows all their clients personally?

It's really weird the spin on this. Space X rockets (and others) blow up all the time, it's part of the R&D process. So not sure why this is being reported so negatively (well, actually, I do, of course...)

Everybody was fine using non-e2ee messaging for like 2 decades before whatsapp and competitors implemented it. So why is it now so important, when since the early 90s everyone was totally happy to communicate without it?

They operate in 100 countries, have 30m users, support trading in 360 coins PLUS a load of derivatives on top and process $15bn of trades per day. And they are not just "an exchange". They are also custody, clearing and settlement

I don't understand the outrage here. It sounds like a clear case of copyright infringement with IA profiting from the works of others. Can someone explain the issue?

Battery swapping seems crazy. Batteries have a wide range of values depending on performance, age, charge cycles etc. Why would I want to swap out my brand new very expensive battery for some old crusty piece of crap? Plus, they're pre
