@fizzo Wow super cool

@dx I once had a Latvian roommate and one day decided to teach her and some friends sheepshead. After getting through only a couple of the rules, she was like oh yeah I know this game. I was completely shocked but yeah I guess it makes sense that there are common origins.

@aperezdc @praveen @WebKitGTK Thanks for the info! Would be huge.

@praveen @WebKitGTK Have you heard any updates on this?

@TheConversationUS We use it in Arlington, VA for county board seats. It is pretty neat!

@slightlyoff Are there any projects or technologies you are excited about or hopeful for regarding these problems?

@praveen @prav Oh dear, looks like Indian telecom is going down a terrible path :(

@matthartley Great tech reporting in that article.

@Monal Amazing

@Monal @techlore @xmpp I see. That's very interesting. Right, that's certainly not true "interoperability" in the full spirit. But kind of interesting to think about.

@caseynewton Yeah that seems right. Economists often want to do antitrust without market definition at all - just look at whether a company is acquiring a strong alternative, and what is the effect of such an acquisition on consumers. Lawyers and judges find it more appealing to think about defining markets and market shares. That's some of the tension.

@caseynewton The sentence you write later in the article suggests that List's study also showed that Instagram is the #1 substitute for Facebook. Should acquiring your #1 substitute be an antitrust violation?

@techlore I wonder if XMPP would interoperate. It would be awesome and also ironic since WhatsApp originated as an app running a closed instance of XMPP. #xmpp @xmpp
