Would South Africa be a better place if it had become a Russian-influenced Communist country?

If Mandela was a secret operative for the communists in South Africa, as the local communist party claimed when he died, and as this former CIA operative has claimed, then he had to have known he was playing a tricky game. Ending apartheid, creating a communist paradise, pick one.

[Edit] I know I'm being downvoted, but I also doubt anyone commenting here lives in a communist country, or has ever spent much time in one.

Marco seems upset because Apple, to whom he owes his livelihood, is about to ruin his business. I think he has a much bigger problem than the podcast producers, who might finally get a larger platform and more attention, especially if Apple thinks they can turn podcasts into a competitive weapon in the streaming wars.

Sorry Marco, you chose the wrong centralized OS platform for your vision of a decentralized podcast future.

I originally thought this is how Dropbox functioned years ago. Learning that you had to actually have every file on your hard disk if you wanted it in the cloud really put me off from using Dropbox for any significant amount of data.

As so many have stated before me, they better release this for everyone. It isn't a revolutionary feature, it's pretty basic, even if the behind the scenes technicals are complicated.

Well, he paid for roads, schools, national defense, politicians... Taxes aren't just a black hole that go nowhere, you know.

A long, long time ago, they were one of, if not the, cheapest domain reseller(s) out there.
