No, but third-parties experience some problems.
utellme··on Show HN: Cointabb
Why people should switch from coinmarketcap to your site?
utellme··on Why I Quit Google to Work for Myself
Whenever anybody pays you good salary or even adds stock shares to it, doesn't mean they can wipe their feet on your personal attitude or consider your job efforts as garbage.

If author wanted to express this opinion I completely agree.

utellme··on Ask HN: Is it 'normal' to struggle so hard with work?
Do you like your job and way which you do it? Could you continue doing this for 20+ years more not getting mental?

If there is at least 1 "no" answer, you should think about changing the way you earn, at least. Life is not about the money, it's about excitement and passion, about things you really want to do.

utellme··on Reasons to think that, in terms of influence if not wealth, Facebook has peaked
Companies like Google or even Mozilla can easily ruin or at least make it harder for social networks to track you and your interests with their browsers. You already have "block thirdparties" checkbox and similar restrictions, soon you will be provided with builtin ad-blocking. Sounds bad for all social networks and tracking services.

So Google has everything in his pocket, but if FB really has something to put against?

You can have account, but if you don't use it, which means you don't share your user experience, social network can't feed you and your friends with fresh and actual stuff.

That's the key idea - they will continue to do M&A to get advantage in tracking and exploring user behavior.

Instagram is just data provider.

utellme··on Reasons to think that, in terms of influence if not wealth, Facebook has peaked
I won't agree that internet provides you with such level of information. Internet is a service, it can't figure out your desires, but FB and other social networks really try to do it.

The only reason such for fake news being spreaded everywhere are suggests and recommendations from social networks feed. They multiply junk and fakes.

utellme··on Telegram has raised an initial $850M for its billion-dollar ICO
The only question is - was it business investment followed by will of Abramovich or something else?
utellme··on Reasons to think that, in terms of influence if not wealth, Facebook has peaked
Now you weakening your social graph, which means you have impact on many related things.
utellme··on Reasons to think that, in terms of influence if not wealth, Facebook has peaked
It's correct and incorrect at the same time. Social networks like cars, they give value when it's being used. To sell ads social networks must be sure that someone scrolling feeds. No usage - no gains.

Even with huge amount of users data nothing guaranteed. You can't sell same stuff periodically, big data has value only when they are actual.

Almost nobody talks about lack of trust, yes there are words about fake news and formal reassurances from FB staff that they will investigate, fix and so on. But trust was already undermined, you just can't restore it to previous level.

People were reading news in FB feed and didn't even think it can be fake, now they read and go "outside" for fact checking. Not a good sign for social network which wants you to be engaged all the time.

I don't see any bad consequences of such investing. Russians are famous of their conservative approach, but even conservatives sometimes do efforts.
utellme··on Telegram has raised an initial $850M for its billion-dollar ICO
One of the wealthiest russians Roman Abramovich invested about $300M in Telegram.

Explanation seems to be simple: person who written this article just have no experience. And there are deficit of truthful information about Google intentions in ad blocking sphere.
utellme··on Ask HN: Have you successfully done a career do-over, and how did you do it?
It's OK, I agree with you. But, is there any way to join Swedish mafia? I want to improve my CV.
utellme··on FCC report finds almost no broadband competition at 100Mbps speeds
Сhaushesku considered that people doesn't need a TV at all, so blackouts became usual thing.

By the way, I don't think it's all about monopolies. It's just expenses, companies should invest huge amounts of cash just to reach last mile. Who will take such risks after some company already built infrastructure which you can just double and hope for underbidding your opponents?

utellme··on Facebook lost around 2.8M U.S. users under 25 last year
The question for me is - will Zuckerberg wake up and realize that Facebook is not a Google in terms of diversification and influence? CEO should have strategy about his main asset, he shouldn't rest on his laurels.
utellme··on The Long, Slow Decline of BitTorrent (2017)
They do not understand that it's just protocol and service. It's useful while it's handy in solving problems. Waiting for articles about HTTP declining in favour of HTTPs and TCP over UDP.
utellme··on Ask HN: Which books describe modern devops?
Not ancient, I suppose :)
utellme··on Elevated Use of Absolutist Words Is a Marker of Anxiety, Depression [pdf]
I'm not sure. Drugs and alcohol related things remains drugs and alcohol related. It's not about depression, but altered consciousness. Even diseases doesn't came immidiately, they slowly developing in years, or at least months.

utellme··on Elevated Use of Absolutist Words Is a Marker of Anxiety, Depression [pdf]
You should join to some political discussion club then, just to compare levels.
utellme··on Elevated Use of Absolutist Words Is a Marker of Anxiety, Depression [pdf]
You can't measure even true level of political support of such regimes, so it's unlikely, but interesting question though.
utellme··on Elevated Use of Absolutist Words Is a Marker of Anxiety, Depression [pdf]
Depression and suicide thoughts doesn't come immidiately. Like yesterday everything was cloudless and then boom.
utellme··on Americans are spending less on clothing
Oh, I'm feeling just opposite on your phrase "clothes last for ages" if you speaking about its quality. 10 yr old jeans looks ugly but their endurance is much better than modern ones has.

And if you wash your clothes so often, it should last few months before became completely garbage.

utellme··on Operation Gunman – how the Soviets bugged IBM typewriters (2015)
Actually they really supported innovations, maybe not the way like it supposed to be when you pursuing to receive economican benefit from R&D, but it's because political interests occupied first, second and third places, economy questions was on fourth place in good days.

There were no arms conversion, so economy didn't take any benefit from beautiful minds behind the scenes.
