I'm not a blogger, but I run multiple blogs.
It's much easier to create a poison than a medicine. The things that would harm biological life vastly outnumber things that restore health. So just because Novartis didn't succeed at creating an incredibly precise and specific medication does not mean all the AI in the world can't make a crude bio-agent.

Bloomberg is also a channel for other data providers. You can access your gas pipeline flow data and index prices, which you buy from SP Global, via Bloomberg, for example. It brings data sources into one place.

I like this idea, it's fascinating how willing young millennials (myself included) are to flock toward nostalgia. I used to take so much pride in my Myspace page, and even learned some basic HTML along the way.

Another idea I thought of could be to retool the site into something different from simply a social network. I'm thinking of how the name could be used in a more literal way, while also staying in touch with the social-network angle of the site.

What about a platform where you design a Space, like a room you dec' out and build to your liking, using points or currency for upgrades/additions. A bit like the Sims where you'd build your "Space" and other users can come over and hang out. The living room could have an entertainment system which plays your custom playlist. DJ's could host live sets. On the TV is a Super Smash Brothers tournament you can get in on.

You might have a neighbor whose Space is the party spot, people go there and interact/chat with other people about, well, partying, or something like r/drunk. Then you might have another neighbor whose Space is a salon of sorts, people gather there to discuss the owner's recommended reading list or art collection.

A universe of micro-communities, or Spaces, as it were. Some are open access, some are invite-only, and some charge $5/cup to get in the door.
