The YouTube API has `list`, `setModerationStatus`, and `markAsSpam` endoints. Could a service automatically moderate comments using its own heuristics? https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/comments

DRM isn't a good analogy, because no one is prohibited from experiencing most NFTs. You can't legally watch a DRM protected movie or listen to a DRM protected audio file if you didn't buy the privilege. But you can look at NF

NFTs remain fully accessible to everyone, unlike DRM assets and invite-only apps. The difference is that a human can pull out their wallet and prove that they have a high level of status linked to the NFT. This is even better than famous pa

So if you ask people if they’d be happier living in California or the Midwest, most people say California. Actually the regions have comparable life satisfaction, but people say California because they think of the weather and fail to take

I think that Pandora's recommendation results are far superior to Spotify's, thanks to the Music Genome Project. I think Spotify does some basic "A likes X and B likes X, so if A likes Y, B will like Y" processing. My id

I remember when MessageBird was giving away free tacos across the street from Twilio's Signal conference. Left me feeling that their brand is tacky and desperate. On the other hand, I learned that there was an alternative to Twilio. An
