My rationale is personal, suddenly. Those things stack up but I saw something specific that made me lose trust in what matters to me, thought I dont think it matters to most people. I want him to succeed so Im not a hater, I want him to push ahead for humanity if he will, with SpaceX, Tesla, the mind pong monkey, the bots.. I still haven't come to terms with reconciling that I wouldnt of thought it could be true, but I saw it myself in real time....manipulating information on twitter. I submitted a thread here about it with screenshots.
Same boat. Was so inspired and on board, even recently. I see what others say about him but it didn’t effect me, even as practically every colleague I know complained. I am no longer a supporter in my heart.
Any suggestion for a more elegant solution? For example, with copyrights, it’s in many ways granted automatically just by existence. Other terms and privacy rights don’t require popups.
Could chaos theory help explain how and why memes flow? I propose memes are physical and follow patterns that could be more accurately measured and predicted.
I think you are right that it does take a lot of effort for to do it right, one needs to design a whole new compatible experience. On the other hand, this interface and dataset here is fairly raw already, so a lot of the form would follow naturally.
Seems like this kind of scenario is inevitable. There are also browser extensions for skipping, like Magic Actions for YouTube.
Advertising values are constantly being devalued. It would be nice if there was a way to move beyond advertising on the web as the primary business model. Wikipedia is the only top 10 site on the net that does not rely on advertising.
Seems like people who care about encryption when using the service are essentially putting their faith in Kim Dotcom's hands. If the FBI, e.g. were to break the encryption, people would probably lose trust in the service. Dotcom is carrying a lot of weight on his shoulders in acting as the security agent.
Good point about "it keeps you from getting fooled". Thats a serious conclusion you make, and however you needed to get there, Im glad you were able to finally arrive at my main point. :)
I guess it depends on what industry you are dealing with and on what level. When you are dealing with Hollywood, they tend to pull out ALL the tricks. Protection and savviness on business deals is a must. Its an aggressive world out there and if you are going to take your business out of doing family and friends business, you may need to be prepared for sharks. We have done contracts within many very competitive markets and it can get aggressive out there.
