> Society has the problem. Twitter just makes it public. Yes. Thereby making things worse than they used to be.

i've been there. I also tried to think of new ideas to work on but I couldn't put any energy into it. I used to think I was a very creative person but even that I started to have serious doubt about. That's when I decided to

Maybe you think you "comprehend" his point because you decide to interpret it in your own way. But it was not coherent (and honestly I'm not even sure if that was a snark in there or not, mostly because it was incoherent).

There are many cases where a social site shot itself on the foot and committed suicide by taking one bad move, such as Digg. What you're suggesting sounds like it will set a new record for a bad decision. Let's say Twitter does

It's nothing new or ironic because that's exactly the definition of centralization. Here's the definition: "concentrate (control of an activity or organization) under a single authority." There has been and will alw

Mr. Miyagi wouldn't agree! Wax on wax off training turns Karate kid into a master martial artist. One neglected factor is you're most creative when you're engaging in extremely routine (read "boring") tasks, which m

I'm sorry, were we arguing whether this was a "DEMO" or not? You were the one who brought it up. I just pointed out how the assumption that someone can steal the device and use it just like a steel key is not true. Nothing to

Yes in the video he says that. Now what's your point?

You should watch the videos on the website before assuming things. According to him, you can freeze your device when you lose it.

Is this actually really positively available right now? I don't see any link to kickstarter or a preorder link or a video that says "But now, we need your help". If so, it's refreshing.

so if i understand correctly, the model is more like the old megaupload/rapidshare/etc.....so what's new? Is it that they provide multiple ways of sharing tied to social media, compared to public/private/password pr

what confused me was how they say they are not a sync service. I am still confused.

Maybe it's because I am not a keybase user, but can somebody explain this product in human terms? I am not an idiot, and it does sound interesting, but the post is too long and I just want to know what makes it unique compared to dropb

In some way these guys are "investing" in these YC companies' future, hoping that when they grow they will stick with DO. YC has good track record so it's relatively a good bet, whereas if they did it with any rando star

I have a project I was at first very excited about but then later paused working on as I discovered more about the email ecosystem. The reason I was excited about it at first was because email is--in theory--decentralized, this part was ver

i think what the op meant was that it didn't make sense because it's owned by facebook. Heroku being owned by Salesforce makes much more sense because that's their business models are aligned. I remember the first time I was

As far as I know, Apple can decide to shut down any app on their appstore if they wanted. Refer to the flux incident.

Please ask the question in a straightforward manner instead of using a clickbait headline. You are not doing your otherwise good question justice.

There's too much fluff in that description. If i were a potential user and saw that line, i would just close the tab without trying to understand what you're trying to say. The op rightly described the essence of what makes bootst

> I have, and I quit. For the same reason that I quit FB for. It wasn't adding anything meaningful to my life. What is the point of this comment? It doesn't add value to the thread. My point was that it's not just Twitter

I agree. Celebrities only look at these networks as nothing more than distribution channels, and they're the worst people to target when you're building a social app even though in the short term it may look as though you're

CS stands for Computer Science. Online programming courses like Treehouse and Lynda are not computer science. What you're looking for is a programming course.

I feel like you're overly being dramatic about "ditching all services". Do you literally only listen to music through soundcloud? If that is indeed the case, you're missing out on a lot of great music. Also as a listener
