Anyone who cares about "free speech" should move to epik.com for domains. I want infrastructure providers to be neutral, and allow whatever is allowed under the law. Not Twitter, FB they're free to censor. But the App Store&#

Thought experiment: can we have a standard TOS for centralized services? Building the next Facebook? Legally bind yourself that you'll always provide API access and this right cannot ever be taken away to the extent permitted by the la

I'm so happy for you! There's a company that is not public but working in this space, I cannot recall it's name. They use NLP to diagnose patient condition by ingesting raw information/text from medical books/papers

The answer is chrome web store/firefox store and adblock/tracker block. They offer a hint into a more free future. Imagine if adblock wasn't allowed on those stores. Today the equivalent is alternative clients to Facebook not

If you're serious about this question. The the answer is: a competitor could build their services on top of Facebook. They wouldn't have to start from scratch. Independent client's mean if the one user trusts you with their d

I'd argue that if apple didn't have a monopoly, we'd have stores that catered to privacy conscious people far earlier. If apple didn't restrict the OS so much, you'd have people making their own Facebook clients, wo

What can congress do? They're already blacklisted. The only thing left is to shoot your own foot. Maybe avoid that? I've seen nothing logical that came out of Trumps silly blacklisting except cashing out on the reputation the US

Someone forced me to the same, now I'm forcing others. It works.

This explains why some people were forcing me to move to signal for the past 2-3 weeks. Glad I made the transition, you should too.

There was distribution that costed precisely $0 in middle man fees. Software downloaded from the web (if you already have the audience, the distribution costs are marginal on the web). Then Apple decided to cut it out. And also cripple web

The fact that 30% app store tax exists and both stores (App Store by Apple and Google Play Store) have somewhat similar strategies highly indicate collusion going on. Apple only changed it for people making under $1m a year after people got

Why does the north have such a low birth rate? I thought this was a phenomena exhibited by women's rights/education and increase in wealth. All of which the north lacks.

"Chief of Advertising Integrity" does anyone take that title seriously? Forget advertising, Facebook and it's CEO himself has no integrity.

Yeah, I had women math teachers that sucked. Made it boring. Then I got a math teacher who was a guy with deep voice. Dude talked too much political stuff but he taught too good, it was like he had my attention. I didn't even study for

> I recall my students used their Chromebook to play this bubble game where their bubbles had to chase and eat other students' bubbles: very benign and strategic, and they used area-numbers from the bubbles to strategize. Agar.io?

We'll see if Chinese movies manage to make it big outside China. The day a Chinese movie becomes as secretly popular as fifty shades is the day I'll accept that they have proven themselves to be on an equal footing culturally.

There will be no change. Western ideals triumph all the eastern ones in terms of attractiveness. They're like drugs, unsustainable (especially with consumption), but everyone sees them once and gets hooked. The U.S. rules the western i

Yeah, I'd give 30(realistically 15) years tops for AGI. And then we'll call it the end of history. That is if we don't kill ourselves by making stupid mistakes.

Exactly. And people who want wealth inequalities to fade away, can they explain people who have better looks due to better genetics. Then they carry for their next generations. Maybe also force attractive people to mate with less attractive

Look out for Kylin OS, it's being created by some Chinese company with that same premium feel. Not complete yet, but works out of the box. I'd probably switch to it once it just works.

The problem takes care of it's self when those people who cannot have kids' can have because their hard work has value. Because current welfare society over values looks. Undervalues other aspects of humans. This is unethical, and

Be careful what you wish for. 25% of Norwegian men never father children, and 15% of Norwegian women too. So in the end men who never father children are being taxed for other men's children. Is that moral? The easier, ethical way to i
