Wow i'm getting downvoted like crazy. I don't think I said anything that's not factual. At least explain why you think I am wrong if you're gonna downvote. To be clear, I love Stackoverflow and I don't know what the

As an end user, I don't care about that at all. If StackOverflow does something like put up a paywall and lock it up, then it will die off and some other site will arise that will replace it, just like some other sites that came before

I don't understand why StackOverflow allows this, yeah creative commons is cool and all but it IS NOT COOL for actual users. I get so annoyed every time i search for something on Google and it leads to an its clone site. It's not

It's ludicrous to even think of this as an "attack". Just sounds like some conspiracy theory based on this guy's insecurity. Let's say Crichton did mean to use this as an attack. How did it hurt this critic guy? A

The problem with this is not if Apple will allow it or not, but the uncertainty, which is deadly for a platform. No developer who take themselves seriously will want to depend on a platform that may go away. Good for you if Apple lets you g

Your argument actually supports my argument. Yeah that's why the expression is "looks like a bad idea", not "it is a bad idea". It looks like a bad idea to others, but not to the founders because the founders obviou

Google was a bad idea because at that time Yahoo, Excite, Lycos and all those "portals" were making money by keeping the traffic on their site instead of sending them away. They didn't even invest much on "search" a

Does a limo service as a startup idea sound cool to you? What about just another online file storage service when there are hundreds of others out there already without any significant traction?

Hey young champ, from my experience building a twitter clone on heroku is much easier that setting up a dovecot/postfix server on digitalocean.

Maybe you had no idea but what you describe already exists in the form of native ads and recommendation widgets like outbrain. And here's what I do when I run into them: I rarely click them. When I'm on NYT, I don't want to c

The article as is right now, won't be shared as much as could have been if it had objective tone. What I've seen a lot of people do is make a useful and objective argument about what the message they're trying to convey and t

I don't even know what you are rambling on and on about esoterically in the first paragraph, but as for your argument in the second paragraph, there are actual existing "businesses" that do sell showerheads. You bought it.

Just the fact that this is a blatant advertorial makes it hard for anyone to take your article seriously. Your arguments are valid and I admire your research but your presentation discounted all the value you provided with your article. If

i could have phrased it better. What I really wanted to say was Apple doesn't seem like a Missionary company it used to be anymore. Sounds ironic to say this to one of the most valuable companies in the world, but everything it does no

I think the difference is Google or Microsoft never promised "it just works". Apple on the other hand used to "just work", at least before Steve Jobs passed. Nowadays the contrast is too huge that people notice it more.

I switched to mac when when MS lost its mind and came up with Vista--it was unusable, so much so that switching cost to mac was lower than trying to get Windows to work. Nowadays the only reason I stay with Mac is because I make iOS apps an
