How is YouTube a walled garden? There’s no review process for posting videos and your can post and go live as soon as the content is uploaded.

The inflation rate is increasing in the chart even though the article claims it is decreasing.

I’m trying to understand this. The value of the “emission” would fluctuate with the value of the coin? But the wording is weird. How is “buying a Bitcoin” generating 195x co2 compared to x? The mining of Bitcoin has already happened. That e

A wall of ads is all I see. Thanks big media.

Social media was a mistake.

Would love see people go back to posting in their own blogs instead of Medium. I get paywalled or app walled. Where I have to either log in or use the native mobile app to read the article. Medium is not a good place to share information.

One very negative effect of platforms like Reddit and hackernews is that downvotes and upvotes system exacerbates groupthink and opinions contrary to the ones of the people reading your post at a given time. Lots of posts could easily get u

Bigotry and hate speech should not have a platform. I’ve been reading a lot of comments here and it seems like most of them aren’t even critical or touch on the point of NOT allowing certain kind of speech or false information sharing. In G

This kind of matter needs support from government agencies. Unfortunately I don’t know that any government agencies that would be either willing or knowledgeable about what needs to be done to support users and software developers on online

And who pushed for this drug? I don’t believe the CDC even cared to consider it that much. But the current administration and Trump were pushing way too hard on this. So they felt compelled to investigate. Look at all the damage Trump has c

I haven’t seen any mention in the article about political interference. Consider Trumps policies and you’ll see why all these organizations are failing. He’s destroying them.
