When "everything becomes easy and self organized", it's generally because there is an implicit leader that makes it so. You may not see the leader, as he or she may have no title or recognition. But it's the person that

Most flat org I've seen are not flat. The people naturally organised in tribes that are only known by themself, and that are in no organigram. Each tribe have an implicit leader that bears no title yet influences all decisions just by

Fun idea. The naming is weird as pylon used to be a python web framework but since it's not going to have any chance to become popular, overriding it seems alright.

Netflix has been at it for a decade. Give it 5 years. I don't expect the GAFAM to play fair. They are going to arm wrest the industry to go through them.

Amazon and disney just have more firepower. Amazon has the expertise in hosting, disney in content making. Amazon can drain customers with prime, and disney with the existing portfolio. Both have infinite cash to aquire and create new licen

Except netflix will probably die and you'll get the choice between 2 bullies : amazon and disney. Also I have a hard time feeling sorry for the traditional press. They spend decades killing their own reputation and now paying the price

I'm pretty sure you are right now paying a lot more money to companies doing a lot less efforts Mozilla is currently doing. And now you are asking even more of them, just as a condition for maybe giving them something day. See, that&#x

Precisely. And if you have enough veggies and vegans around you, you know that they can eat as much junk food as everyone else. Sugar is vegan, after all.

I'd agree with wifi and cell phones being introduced in a slower way actually. We don't need a 100 years though, since there is only one thing to check: if it affects us directly. We don't have the same cascading effect poten

There is a purpose in that for the colony, so it evolved that way. And of course it took time, and a lot of small adaptive trials, to get there. There is not purpose in that for the plant, hence it would not have evolved that way. And of co

Most people didn't see any danger to something as simple as sugar 30 years ago. We added it everywhere, and now have an obese US population with sky high diabetes levels. Sugar is not complicated. The millions of DNA pairs of the milli

Because it worked for a lot longer than 20 years. In 100 years, without GMO problems, we can label them safe too. Plus evolution doesn't have an agenda that would make it creates things like the terminator gene. We are in a very peculi

In the same way that a tiger killing a rabit is not the same thing than a human with a nuclear weapon. Power, scale, agenda and synergies matter.

It's too early to tell. But when we build a nuclear reactor, we don't just make safety systems for likely events. We make them also for very, very unlikely ones. Because the potential risk is huge. It's the same here. The po

20 years is amazingly short for ecosystems. Give it a century. Also, it took us 40 years to realize we may be responsible for global warning, and some still doubt it, or have an agenda to spread doubt. So you have to take in consideration t
