> It's insane that people think you need to do all this just to get a live updating counter.

Dismissing this guy's tutorial because he didn't clone Facebook is kind of short sided. Everything is about trade offs. You don't need to make your React app isomorphic if you don't mind a slower initial load and lack of SEO. You don't need to use Mongo, you can pass data from your RDBMS directly to your components as props when you render server side or have them call your REST API using an isomorphic request library. You don't need to use ES6 if you use something like webpack and babel.

The hype around this game reminds me of the hype around Spore a decade ago (it didn't live up to it).

Moderation on 4chan and /b/ has increased over the last year. Mostly to prevent the posting of peoples personal information. But the posting of shock images has also decreased. I don't know if they are being removed as well.

I've never seen a single site that uses Google login over Facebook. Facebook also owns mobile login on the iPhone. Google is closer to shutting down Google+ than winning any war with Facebook.

The ciriticism is that malaria is just a symptom of the larger problem of a lack of economic growth and development. Aid can save a child from malaria, but it will never solve the underlying problem.

> I want smart teachers to take control of education so this s* doesn't happen nearly as often as it does.

This is the job of parents, not teachers. What does take control even mean? Public school teachers have no control.

Plenty of spies on all sides have been killed and jailed over the years. If a country can prove a specific person committed a crime. But that's a lot harder to do with tech crimes.

What do you think spying is? By definition it is illegal. Other countries won't do anything but cry a bit because their hands aren't much cleaner.
