Youtube started as an easy place to watch pirated movies.
Exactly. People tend to overstate the importance of spurious, surprising findings that don't make scientific sense. Some of these may lead to breakthroughs, sure. But the overwhelming majority are just noise. And it…
This is a harsh thing to say and here goes. This article and its response are boring. They're what happen when you take a high-stakes situation (union creation, scabs, overworked grad students) and take all the emotion…
I think the general U.S. population is okay with monopolies that make their lives better. Apple will continue to push the envelope. Developers can fight back (does anyone remember the Apple vs Spotify thing?) but if…
Skimmed your two submissions and have 2 suggestions-- 1) cull your words relentlessly. 2) write in a reader-centric, not you-centric way. Your articles don't grab reader interest.

You'd think TurboTax would have clear scripts for their frontline representatives to deal with this fairly and quickly. Rip the band-aid off all at once, so to speak. There's not exactly a clear message between these…
The irony here is I made a comment below calling Techcrunch's headline out for (as I see it) unfairly calling the Chinese PUBG "government-friendly" and implying undue censorship. That comment itself was censured thanks…
Yawn. The headline suggests there's some assault on liberty here. But by "government-friendly" Techcrunch means Chinese PUBG doesn't show corpses and blood, and that it paints Chinese military forces in a good light.
