> baby formula/diapers (this is exceptionally sad more than anything) At first blush, you're crushingly obviously right. What kind of society do we have where people have to steal baby formula? The real answer is much stranger:

> In particular, the short notice period (3 months + 2 months grace) for something people have been using for a decade is jarring. For me, this raises the obvious question. How long a notice period is long enough? Six months? Eight? A ye

There is, perhaps, room to question the tradeoff here. How sure are we that it was substantially increased revenue vs archivability? What if this sort of every-30-days check only increases costs without boosting revenue and hurting archivab

It's pretty rough for historians, archivists, and curators too. Can you imagine if books became unreadable twenty years after publication because >99.9% of readers will have moved on from the book by that point? Or if every painting

I wouldn't say they are traditionally neglected, precisely. CI/CD systems are often treated as a place where devs hold infinite power with developer convenience prioritized above all else. Developers, who are generally not securit

I agree with you that it's an exceptionally self-serving way of approaching the subject.

For a lot of people, the headlines are all they really want to read plus maybe a snippet of a sentence or two. News outlets that expect to sell those eyeballs lose out and consider this unfair competition from Google. Google, for its part,

You are absolutely correct. This is true. There are comparatively few people who work to provide food and shelter. That said, when I look around me I see massive complexity to accomplish the seeming of a magic porridge pot surplus. I think

There are people with very specialized skills and experiences that it would cost half a million and years more to replicate. With that in mind, there are certainly devs $200k/yr more valuable than others. This becomes even more importa

You can't control how other people feel, but you can control what information you choose to give them to inform those feelings. From this you can observe patterns and shape what future information you choose to give them. You can'

I've seen the argument made that the major factor was slavery. In general, they had a cheap source of unskilled labor. Major advances in industrialization were often driven, in no small part, by high labor costs.

There probably is, provided you can get a perceptual model that correctly models all human visual perception and reduce it to a hash. I am not sure one exists currently. Until then, it really does seem like we're trying to find a way t

At this point you're talking about checking a signature. Naively, it seems to me like you could skip the NFT entirely and embed a verifiable sig in a securely delivered DNS record. Then it's linked to the domain. You can do this n

As you say, nothing at all. I think the real answer is that allowing this kind of deep and arbitrary styling of interfaces is far more dangerous than it is helpful.

Verification of what, precisely? That it's authorized for the domain it's on? This seems like a re-implementation of existing access control systems, with the same weakness of being vulnerable to being copied. Unless you're s

Like you, I suspect it's not, but I've found that leading with telling people that the thing they deeply want to believe is wrong is a poor way to convince them of things. You have to go through a ritualistic performance of empat

Thank you! This is a deeply underappreciated point. I understand how annoying, painful, and disruptive to the user experience it is to have part of your app taken over by browser or OS default widgets and behavior is. It's sheer hell

There's also a fire risk from the vent getting clogged with tiny bits of lint that weren't caught by the trap.

by Kalium 5y ago
You are assuming that the parent knows how to properly clean the lint trap, which might not always be the case.

No, but those warnings and similar will probably be printed on a tiny booklet that you will reflexively discard unread.

Once you move to hosts dedicated to specific services, as seems to be the suggestion here, you also might increase the overall hardware cost across your set of services. The cost per some of the services might decrease, though.

Only to the extent that cost is a function of complexity. This isn't always the case. In a case like this, going to bare metal likely brings with it significant drawbacks in organizational complexity, orchestrational complexity, and mo

I suspect legal jargon exists for the same reason programming languages exist: it is functionally impossible to be sufficiently precise in idiomatic vernacular. Too many things require precise and clear shared definitions. What is real prop

There is! That said, it's generally limited to the segment of people who are aware of fast-fashion, have their own reasons to disdain it, can afford the substantial premium of sticking to slow fashion, and are willing to follow through

You're describing a death spiral, like has happened with car insurance in some places. As the costs on those still in the market go up and the costs of getting away from it come down, you can expect more and more people to go for the e

I find myself wondering if "Amazon's Choice" really implies an independent or impartial source. When I'm seeing it, I know it's coming from Amazon and they would like to sell me a thing. They're certainly not p

Having occasionally worked with pen-tests, I think perhaps a different lesson is in order. If you can find it in a pen test, so can your adversaries. You have no way of knowing if they've done so already. The best way forward is to add

The USPS is also an example of a postal system that formerly provided banking services.
