Unless a platform allows for open broadcasting it simply is not an acceptable alternative to G+. It is true that there were walled gardens on G+ but the Genius of G+ was the ability to both target audiences and to broadcast openly. Like Cake, G+ …

Chris, "To Kill A Mockingbird" is one of the most hopeful books of the last century. When the book begins, Jem and Scout are young and impressionable. They live in a town filled with all kinds of prejudice. The first grade teacher arrived in town …

News Feeds. Every podcast uses them, so why can't cake?

Actually, I first noticed this issue when I was scrolling through a user's profile looking for a specific previous post which this user had made. I realized that it was taking me quite a long time to go backwards through this person's timeline …

@yaypie @Vilen @Chris and anyone else at Cake that might want to brainstorm on this topic. Because each comment that a person posts on Cake is its own separate post, there is a major noise to signal ratio issue when trying to back track through …

@gorudy It may be that you have already read Chris's posts about working with Steve Jobs but if not visit the page linked below and start at the bottom of the page and read upward. https://www.cake.co/topics/bSHbh6S/steve-jobs

Unless what I heard is wrong, Vic Gundotra left because of the decision to terminate G+ as a hub for the rest of Google. As far as he was concerned (according to what I heard) the hub vision was the right vision and doing away with the hub …

It is sort of difficult to determine whether there was a true consensus at Google regarding the purpose of Google Plus when it was first under development. The platform as it was first released did not emphasize previous relationships but rather …

All one has to do to see the difference between Cake's activity and Google plus activity is the following: On cake, click all. On Google Plus, put either the date or the weekday into the search box. Compared to Google Plus, Cake's activity level …

Google Plus will be shutting down sooner than expected. It is now expected to be shut down in April. It is possible that this means April 1. https://www.blog.google/technology/safety-security/expediting-changes-google-plus/

I wish cake, would let me reply to both @paulduplantis and you. Regarding your comment, Chris, the rise of Putin was due to the Yeltsin attempt to bring freedom to a country that was not yet prepared for an economy that was not state controlled. …

Paul, I was not speaking of technological infrastructure but of political or governmental infrastructure. @Chris MacAskil had written about how online platforms which gave the userbase complete liberty with almost no restrictions tended to devolve …

In my late teens and early twenties, I became interested in libertarianism but that interest lasted only a short time. The reason is what you wrote about the need for infrastructure. Regrettably, the other problem is that often times …

Have you ever seen a picture where the whole picture looked as if a colored filter had affected the picture? This is called a color cast Have you ever seen a picture where there were very few shadows and also no highlights? This is called low …

Keith Blount, founder and chief software designer for Scrivener has posted a tutorial showing how to use an Image at the beginning of each chapter. In the tutorial, he simply uses graphics for the Chapter Titles, but this also could be used for any …

PJ16 South Pole at Minimum Emission Angle processed by me. I'm not sure that I have found the place on the NASA website with the best files. All I have found are PNG files with dimensions of 1600 pixels by 1600 pixels.

There are many people whose reasons for holding the views which they hold are a mystery to me, but I continue to try to understand. Let me cite two examples which are accessible to others because there is written material available. Some of the …

No, I think you are getting the point, but I also think that you are thinking of large groups of people as homogenous. You are also probably making silo like distinctions which are not necessarily distinct. For example, in a variety of belief …

@JoeCarter The purpose of this comment is not to argue with you, but rather to establish the fact that not everyone is going to agree with you on those things which you consider common ground. I am not pointing this out for the purpose in this …

I'm also amused because it kind of resembles the artwork of people who try to imagine what the crossing of the Red Sea by Moses and the Israelites would have looked like. Of course, in those pictures the water on the man's right would not join …
