I've been following Patrick since the old BoS days. He is great at marketing, but isn't a very good example of a 'solopreneur' or a bootstrapper. If any of his companies were making him a good enough living, I don'

This doesn't give me any confidence that this will be used to actually combat fake news and not as a tool to suppress opposing political views. During the election, I saw so many 'fact checkers' used by the mainstream media t

I find this part of the main problem with the recent US election. You only want political discussions when you agree with it. No matter how civil a person is, it's considered 'uncivil' when it's against San Francisco p
