It seems to be a typical postmodern viewpoint that every idea is equally valid. But even if you're not "racist, sexist, xenophobic, or accepting sexual assault", if you, as a reasonably minded individual, back Trump, you&#x2

Not withstanding the upshot, I'm always wondering about the ill effect of technology on society. This is a painful example. Take it easy everyone!

No offence, but it's a bit rubbish. How this got 174 upvotes is beyond me. Anyway, Here's my weekend project on the SC api, which we won the Amsterdam Music Hack day SC api prize with: http://soundfluence.com

This is exactly why SOPA / ACTA et al must be stopped. If this happened me, in 2012, I would go straight onto kickstarter to get donations for the legal fees and fight these dickheads tooth and nail.

I would argue that once you dismiss ads and scroll down the page that content is entirely readable. The internet has given us an expectation that everything should be free and immediate, and we can't tolerate anything less. In the old days

"I give Facebook five years before it shares the fate of MySpace. I give Google ten years before it becomes a Yahoo -- still around but not a leading light, by any means." Personally, I find that very hard to envision.

For posterity sake, I'd better answer my own questions: - yes, unfortunately we're no longer building for the web, we're building for the facebook and google platforms, and it pisses me off no end, because more innovation is required. I o

Ya - but they weren't 'invented' by an 11 year old with a crazy younger sister and a belief in his ability to conquer the world that only a preteen can have ... That's marketing you can't buy ...

I actually WAS that guy, but I couldn't find my technical co-founder - so I just became a technical founder ... took me a few years, but I'm there now ;)

Thanks, I really enjoyed this - gives great insight into the brilliance of the google brain, and it's flaws i.e. Google's misunderstanding of normal serfs that just 'use the internet' ...
