   There isn't one that's going to do everything that reddit does, honestly. You might want to consider breaking down everything you were getting out of reddit that you aren't anymore and pursuing ways to find those things again

   Something that's being lost here is that this article is in the same vein as the seminal "Falsehoods programmers believe about time" [0] which contains quite a few statements which describe user error that developers still ha

   Wow, this looks great! Does anyone have experience with it first hand? This might be what pushes me over the edge to finally pick up the Daydream View.

   I really believe that we'd already be here if Google Glass hadn't been such a PR disaster.

    I think framing this as a technology problem, as quite a few folks tend to do, is the wrong approach. There are plenty of nuggets of memetic knowledge that are simply false, but still passed around by word of mouth (or, in some extreme cas

    The SF lover in me loves this. The person who cares about others in me is glad that this might change the way we idolize celebrity at the cost of real people. Man, the future is cool.

    I would very strongly recommend a simple WYSIWYG interface for non-technical users, if rich text is even necessary. Every barrier you create to entry will frustrate or drive away users.

    I am not a lawyer, and I would bet that none of the answers you get here would be on par with a consultation with a legal professional. I would have a conversation with yourself about what you want the end result of this to look like. What

    Took a look at flocakademic — looks like a great idea and platform, but I'm curious as to where you see it fitting in with the rest of the research lifecycle, with institutional repositories and OSF starting to pick up the slack?
