Evidently changes to the way PDFs are rendered by the OS, I think via Preview? So for example, if you 'print' a PDF from another app, a lot of stuff gets broken. I'm sorry, I wish I had more information.

I disagree. If you can see immediate benefits in your neighborhood – for instance, more birds showing up – then 'acting locally, thinking globally' is more effective than the reverse.

Well put. I thought about bringing up the many, many solar panel scams. What an absolute shame.

One thing I dislike the most about these problems – and the information/media/activism around them – is the "solutioning". Yes, we should recycle and reduce carbon emissions and learn to live in a more integrated fashion

They warned of tyranny of the majority, instability and violence from a too-powerful government (thus checks and balances), foreign influence in domestic affairs due to a weak government, and as you mentioned partisanship.

I'm unclear as to what about my comment led you to believe it was about reading ONLY the federalist papers.

What about them?

I agree. Arguments from ignorance should be dismissed.

You're right – in the short term. In the mid- to long-term, I'm not so sure.

This is why the Federalist Papers are some of the most important documents when understanding the intent of the Constitution and Bill of Rights – and simultaneously the least read! I'm not saying that case law isn't also an import

Somehow Ventura changed the way PDFs are handled, and broke three years of my work. I'm not an OSX developer (I'm just a writer) and still trying to figure out where the change happened and why. The devs upon whom I depend are als

It's a negotiation tactic, a red herring. Next slide.

This is really interesting. Have you published your research anywhere that I could read?

This is why I tell everyone who'll listen that if you want to prep for a disaster, step 0 is to hold a block party. Most people don't even know their neighbor's names!

It does matter who is making the claim because - I think you'd agree – there needs to be some reformation of IP law. But I'll never support anything that says a comedian can't protect her book.

I don't think a daycare should be sued for a Winnie the Pooh mural. But I also don't think a Winnie the Pooh mural has much inherent value anyway, especially to the kids it ostensibly was for. I can think of a million better thing

That sounds like a good argument, but I'm not seeing how protecting a comedian's IP translates to limiting access to ideas and tools... that benefit broader society.

Trying to see the deleterious social effects of not having free access to Disney IP. Not Gish-galloping you, I just don't think of Disney IP as having high social utility in the grand scheme of things. I assume you'd have a better

Learn to manage up young bucks. It's the only way you can prevent these VCs from taking your lunch money. Get an informal advisory board if this is your first rodeo.

The companies that remove the human touch from hiring will rapidly wither and die, leaving the real talent for the rest of us who value people over process.

It's unclear to me how the inability to hoover up data and exploit users' privacy would prevent someone from creating an innovative experience.

Gosh, you mean big corporations will be forced to compete on the basis of the quality of their products – instead of their ability to aggregate, destroy, and exploit the privacy of their users?

Lowered costs shouldn't mean criminal abuse though. If I eat at a fast food restaurant, I expect crappy meat, sure – but I shouldn't be held hostage in my booth until they decide to get around to delivering my food.

'Failure' is when the whole system crashes. Andreas is really talking about small setbacks that lead to failure. And I think its better to embrace Samuel Beckett's mantra: "Try Again. Fail Again. Fail Better.” It's

If you want to see how enshittification truly hurts customers, simply check twitter during a storm at, say, Newark or O'hare. Thousands of people stranded in lines with airlines providing one, maybe two CSRs to service them – children

Actually, I have been through this and they will absolutely lie, and gaslight you with all kinds of nonsense. I have a series of screenshots and recordings where United would change information on their official app from, say, insufficien
