Glosster··on The Ecosystem Is Moving [video]
And why does it matter if WhatsApp offers encrypted chat, if they can just update their client tomorrow and make it so that their servers snoop on everything (if that's not already the case)? A lot of the arguments of this guy seem to also be useful against himself. I won't go into more detail.

Why is he saying that email is not encrypted? Isn't it actually encrypted when traveling from server to client? Who uses ports without SSL or TSL anymore?

Spirituality and philosophy are for people who can't get into actually important fields related to science, right?

Can someone please paste the books that they recommend? I've reached my free reading limit on Bloomberg.
Glosster··on France, Spain, and Italy’s English skills are on the decline: study

Glosster··on Show HN: 8base BaaS launches free tier
I've been using 8base for 4 months, and I'm loving it. Top-notch UI/UX in a backend-as-a-service.

Keep adding features, you're on the right path. :)

Glosster··on Is Inequality Inevitable?
Reading through the comments, I was hoping that someone actually pasted the article itself... because it's behind a paywall. But it seems that most comments can be TLDR'ed as the title of the post.
Glosster··on Lone Bitcoin Whale Likely Fueled 2017 Price Surge, Study Says
I don't like Bitcoin because of its energy use, I definitely prefer future Ethereum w/ staking and current Nano, but the last "research" of these guys was just them not understanding basics of trading. For this reason, I'm definitely not wasting time again looking over what they wrote. I'm even amazed that they got so many upvotes; they should have had a negative reputation by now.
Glosster··on Google Buys Fitbit for $2.1B
A better phrasing would be: Google buys Fitbit's customers' private data for $2.1B. Privacy suffered another big loss today.

Glosster··on Alphabet in bid to buy Fitbit
I can’t wait to see how Google will manage to strip down all of the best parts of Fitbit and not use them to make a decent product of their own.
