The fact that I think this is the worst idea in the world might be the very reason this could be huge. I thought friendster, myspace and facebook enabling people with 15min of fame by displaying their personal lives on the net was the worst idea in the world.

I did think the way Google handled search was the best idea in the world, so go figure.

They might have to start donning the official scrabble championship mantle too https://espnfivethirtyeight.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/ap10...

Yet another reason I don't let OpenOffice or any Linux UIs slow me down. It's all about the command line and always will be.

Xerox Parc innovated. It's usually based on the a high pain point the founder has with the product.

It's actually amazing how many soft devs have no clue about the impact of the Linux, the command line, which they now call the 'CLI', true editors and fast home grown IDEs. A shift needs to take place at the core of software development. Linux made everything possible.

I can't access the invitation to the church of the subgenius in the README.txt's anymore. What's going on?

Good thought.

One of the big differences between software engineers and everyone else is that we type 100wpm and until we are able to do this on a phone, they remain largely useless to me unless I'm a bind and need SSH access and the command line.

On another interesting note, it seems the internet continues to be designed around people that just don't know how to type.

"Learning to code" is a lifelong endeavor. You don't pick a laptop and set aside a few hours. You can't do that if you wanted to learn how to write poetry in French while only knowing English.

The DNA of that person relates to a time when he called the users of fb "dumb f*cks"

I could not agree more. It started out by copying myspace which copied friendster which copied...

Just like AOL, many facebook users think facebook is the internet.

Maybe OP delivered on time.

Was this an actual sendmail server sitting in Clinton's house or was it an offsite server?

Facebook started out as a non-algorithmic company, AOL – geocities – friendster – myspace – Facebook – who's next? They have a lot of catch up to do compared to Google, which started as a core algorithmic company in a branch of AI called Search.

They all started as non-algorithmic light-weight technology platforms which were more focused on duplicating the last popular social platform. (BBS'es -> Compuserve -> AOL) This is different from companies like Google for example, that started out as algorithmic-first.

aol -> geocities -> frienster -> myspace -> facebook -> _next_

How is this getting upvoted?

Looking forward to forced indentation + javascript.

What a delicious idea!

I'm successfully using it to supply a hedge fund with a new kind of edge.

"... Successful Against Aging in White Cells in a Human" would be more accurate while also preserving the informative aspect. Most people don't know that Telomeres directly connect to human aging.

I wonder what Google's CalicoLabs http://calicolabs.com thinks about this...

He was truly creative. Much can be learned from him and applied to a variety of efforts.

Well said.

I really admired him.

Cyber attacks seem to be employing a bit of AI and data science these days.

No need to extrapolate into religion. Most of what was happening in Israel and Babylon at that time was based on the worship of the one God of Israel vs the worship of the many gods of Babylon. Everybody worshiped one god or another and they went to war based on their worship of one god or another. Similar to today in fact.

Google is King.

- Gmail 1bil users - Youtube billions - Search - Android - Self Driving cars

and the list goes on including an order of magnitude greater in revenue.

Facebook is the friendster, geocities the next AOL etc.

Google is a real technology company.
