@cstanhope I sincerely don't think this is something the w3c can invent. Standardize later, sure, but we need real products first.
The same techniques that let users block unwelcome ads could help readers pay publishers frictionlessly. Would be fun to experiment.
I wonder if you could build a content blocker app that layers a micropayments gateway over Safari and lets publishers serve premium content.
@tef That makes sense for infrastructure tools - not sure it makes sense for end-user tools. You could still make money through *use*.
Finding that splitting out "replies" - which makes sense in the #indieweb context - is confusing the hell out of customers.
#Lazyweb question: is there a way to access cloud-only Dropbox folders so they show up in Finder? Trying to free up some disk space.
Installed Peace on my iPhone to block ads. The web is absurdly faster. Not sure if it works for embedded in-app browsers though?
If by "kept us safe" Jeb meant W "committed war crimes, tortured prisoners, faked evidence and made us less safe", he was right. #gopdebate
A reminder that Planned Parenthood saves lives. http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/news/a44240/defunding-planned-parenthood-is-the-opposite-of-pro... #gopdebate
I actually, genuinely, think Trump is the best candidate. Which is the very definition of "damning with faint praise." #gopdebate
People keep talking about tackling Islamic terrorism. Domestic, Christian, racist terrorism is actually by far the bigger threat. #gopdebate
If you think building the biggest, baddest army in the world will create peace rather than kickstart an arms race, you're nuts. #gopdebate
That several candidates gave junk answers about their family rather than supporting prominent women speaks volumes. #gopdebate
That Bush couldn't think of an American woman important enough to put on money speaks volumes. #gopdebate
I thought the #gopdebate couldn't get more obnoxious and then Bush proposed putting Margaret Thatcher's face on money.
@timweston "Hey, Siri. Gnnaaaarrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhh."
"Okay Ben. I found 17 flower arrangers within ten miles."
I need to drive somewhere now and won't be able to let off steam by snarkily posting to the Internet. Pray for me. #gopdebate
Okay, we need like another 18 Democratic Presidential candidates. Who do we draft? #gopdebate
Funny how all these pro-life politicians come from states that kill prisoners. Not ha ha funny. Murderously hypocritical funny. #gopdebate
There are *plenty* of people in America who don't think we should defund Planned Parenthood. I give them money every month. #gopdebate
"The criminalization of Christianity" is a nasty phrase that suggests your personal religion is above the law. It never is. #gopdebate
@besvinick Turning on the microphones does every one of these candidates a disservice.
