Online in a forum format? I haven’t seen it exist, the medium simply isn’t conducive to it. It requires very heavy handed moderation, which in turn stifles political discussion. It’s why HN largely bans it all-together as simply not worth i

We have a Keybase group that gets used twice a year when Slack takes a dirt nap. We also use Zoom so I guess the buyout doesn't have security implications for us?

Monopoly and anti-competitive go hand in hand, though I don’t think Office has anything to worry about currently. Alternatives to google search exist but they’ve still been declared a monopoly by the EU, with something like a 90% share of s

That’s as silly as saying “we already have particle colliders, at this point they’re just an engineering problem”. It completely misses the forest for the trees.

Not sure what you're trying to say about the WHOs ongoing evidence gathering in the context of this tweet?

Did the WHO explicitly deny human transmission? Their earliest reports I saw said “we have no confirmed evidence of human transmission, but we are likely to find it”. It’s the second half of the sentence that people and the media seem to ha
