Terrible idea. I hate the (mis) connected nature of google services. E.g. I don't want to see Google+ contact's recommendations on my youtube page. Now I can't imagine the same happening with even other apps.

"I checked in weekly to post a track, but no longer considered it in active development." If you check the site only once a week, why should other users bother? The site infrastructure is I believe valuable. One can pivot into a different i

I think the inventors listed should be matched with likes of Edison and mocked. If society mocks them the social pressure might work better than legal means to avoid such non-sense. So better make a web page with Amazon's hall of fame of in

"With C++ you still have to know everything you knew in C, plus a bunch of other ridiculous shit." So true. C++ is designed by someone who is a moderately smart but not a great engineer. There are too many details without much benefit, and
