I had Klik & Play back on Windows 3.1! (And then later The Games Factory on '95.) It was great for a little while but I rapidly got to the point where it felt like it was getting in my way rather than making things easier.
I /wish/ I'd had Lego Mindstorms, always wanted some but we could never afford it.
TGF was definitely what got me started in programming as a kid. Super intuitive to learn and use before I was 'ready' to use a text-based language.

People seem to be missing the entire substance of what he's getting at. That's why he mentions "no one should have that power". He even follows up about this in the blog.
> Without a clear framework as a guide for content regulation, a small number of companies will largely determine what can and cannot be online.
People seem to be saying, "you can't have it both ways". I think the point is that without actually executing the point being made, it's just a theoretical idea, the fact that he did it in this way only proves the point of why we need a better framework.
Exactly! Extremely frustrating that the rest of the quote wasn't included.
"Having made that decision we now need to talk about why it is so dangerous. I’ll be posting something on our blog later today. Literally, I woke up in a bad mood and decided someone shouldn’t be allowed on the Internet. No one should have that power."
His Gizmodo quotes are somewhat revealing as well:
“We need to have a discussion around this, with clear rules and clear frameworks. My whims and those of Jeff [Bezos] and Larry [Page] and Satya [Nadella] and Mark [Zuckerberg], that shouldn’t be what determines what should be online,” he said. “I think the people who run The Daily Stormer are abhorrent. But again I don’t think my political decisions should determine who should and shouldn’t be on the internet.”

How does the underlying technology of this differ from Filecoin?

That's an interesting subscription model. I'm curious how it'll turn out.
In the meantime, I wasn't sure what "sync" meant in the context of your app. I had to read a lot of your page before I understood (even after reading this post first).
I actually thought you meant syncing bank accounts or something similar.
+1 for not understanding sync. Was also looking for a way to sync transactions from bank account.

Its a pretty nifty concept. Wish there was a way to browse comments without leaving the terminal though.

Otto (http://ot.to) provides a solution for converting existing trucks into semi-self-driving trucks. I'd be very interested to hear a truck drivers take on using a device like this. In my (not a truck driver) opinion, it seems like in the short term it'll be hugely beneficial to the drivers, since the government will still be mandating that drivers be in the vehicles, but in the long term will completely kill the job.

Is there a reason for lack of Safari support?
Also, any company that implements a Social Credit Score should be immediately overthrown, as it is too dangerous to exist. Fascism must be destroyed, permanently.
