Okay, thanks.

Really cool! Are headphones a must for now...?

Wanted to try it out on android, got the following issues;

- The resgister spinner did not terminate, it stayed spinning for 2 minutes, had to exit and relaunch

- I now get a toast with the message "Error fetching onboarding stage"

Would Redis Keyspace Notifications [1] help in this case? Like a script that runs when a specific key expires, such that all other related keys can be deleted too.

Exactly

Before Reddit settled on the name "reddit", snew was one of their name ideas..as in "what'snew"...another was 360scope

For me, the problem is the double standard that is applied to historical writings; Mention Scripture, "Oh, those are just someone's words", Mention a scientific manuscript from the same time "Oh, my, what a genius"!

How many of us actually get to prove newtons laws for ourselves? How many of us consciously wake up and say, today I will test out gravity? But isn't the law of Gravity real, yes it is!

Thing is, most of what we know, we have read from what others have done or experienced, more in the scientific field. Why can't we apply the same standard to scripture? Maybe if we study deep we can prove the things written therein

aa..cool. But then, very few people actually get to "prove" or consciously "observe" newtons laws, but a principle is a principle whether you believe it or not. In fact, at lower levels of education, you simply read and believe these, as fact, from those that have written about them, and proved them. Can't we say the same about Christianity?

PS: Note that I avoid the word religion, as it dilutes Christianity, The Gospel of the New Testament.

I agree, although I don't look at Christianity as religion, from my understanding of the new testament..Christ was crucified basically because he didn't follow "the law of their fathers"..religion essentially.

The aim is not to convince though, but to raise the question, why does our generation think that anything scriptural cannot be treated as fact. Why are newtons laws fact, but not his convictions? Are we so taken up by being "scientific" in our own eyes, that we forget the very premise on which science is based, God?

"We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy. I find more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history whatever."

-Isaac Newton

"Almighty God, Who hast created man in Thine own image, and made him a living soul that he might seek after Thee, and have dominion over Thy creatures, teach us to study the works of Thy hands, that we may subdue the earth to our use, and strengthen the reason for Thy service"

-James Clerk Maxwell

Two, really great minds, on whose work we depend on daily

So much trust in mortals.....nah, I'll pass

quoted out of context

"Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground" [1]

From the above portion of scripture, I wonder why we humans, are so concerned about population growth. Children are a blessing from God, have as many as you'd like.

I agree, and to assume that censorship helps society become better is just daft thinking.

What happened to things like "Its healthy to question everything around you".

Strategically, Uganda is an ally of the US, in the East and Central African region, but progressive Twitter heads obviously don't like Uganda's politics right now.

But Twitter, you haven't even fixed what's "Trending", specifically in the local context. For example, the word "Jane" is trending in your country, Jane is a well known politician who has probably said something interesting. You click the word to see whatsup...twitter returns some random posts that mention "Jane" probably basing on number of likes

This would be a nice ticket to fix...

depends on where you live probably, and how accessible things are on the internet for you...including how easy it is to make payments on the internet for you. Torrents are a blessing otherwise.

I'm thankful for the Internet, you wouldn't be reading this otherwise

Just realised i've never seen an ad for salt...

I got you

- High Score (A netflix series on the history of games, the first episode has a part where some college guys had to change hardware to make games harder)

- The Pirate Bay, Away from Keyboard

- Silicon Cowboys; highly recommend this one, I believe we wouldn't have the industry as it is today, if it weren't for Compaq.

Curious, are No-Code tools an example of this?

Curious to know what your use-case is for this feature

duh..

quite curious as to how Instagram managed to avoid this, despite launching with no moderation, (just Mike and Kevin), yet all you needed was an email to use the service...

I have doubts regarding its privacy, but I think WhatsApp's security is up to the mark[1]. A lot of secure messengers fall short of simplifying security stuff on their UI/UX, for the average user, and i genuinely think it's a hard thing to do. In fact you could argue that "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.”

But maybe we'll get there, as more and more users understand the need for security

I'm generally of the impression that any phone with an unremovable battery is never truly "off" at any given time, unless the battery is totally damaged.

PS: I like phones whose batteries are removable, currently use a Nokia Android with a removable one. One advantage is that when the phone drops down, it disintegrates, frame from battery, decreasing the overall impact on the phone.

Accessing geo-restricted content is probably one of the reasons. A lot of VPN services use this line while advertising.

Paul Graham is mentioned [1] in the Wikipedia article. Small world eh

I built this Subject/Topic Extractor[1] in NodeJS to quickly extract topics/nouns/subjects from a String. My Use-Case was to determine what is trending, given a number of news article titles in a day
