You are exactly correct about the role of the API here. A problem arises once you have multiple clients, each with different views, as well as different versions of those views. You can end up with a proliferation of API endpoints, each ser

It's interesting to read the article with his presentation in mind. From a technical perspective, you should be able to just swap Netflix/Falcor in for Facebook/Relay in this article and have the arguments make about as much

csp is the first things that jumped into my head, as well. I wasn't familiar with bacon.js, it looks pretty interesting.

Phishing training companies will actually use this tactic (they call it 'double barrel'), which makes me think that real phishers are already doing this, too. What I think would be better is an email that said to go log into your

That is a very good point, and it made me realize that I was automatically translating the original statement to something other than what the literal words say. My internal translation of the statement that you quote would be "to be n

It does make sense, thank you for explaining again. I am curious about what meta-ethical system you find to be most compelling. I myself am somewhere within the Consequentialist camp. The others numbers are also potential Schelling points,

There are a number of thought experiments along these lines that philosophers go back and forth on. The general consensus as far as what should be applied to society is that defensive rights trump utilitarian calculus, even when the calculu

If observing and empathizing are the goals of the trip, and everyone is clear about that, then all is fine and good. However, these sorts of trips are generally understood to have the goal of helping people directly, which they are not actu

That's an interesting perspective, and I'd be interested in seeing whether people who go on these sorts of trips end up giving more on average to charity across their lives than people who don't. If so, then the trips could b

Actually, the 10% isn't intended to be the Objectively Correct Amount To Donate. If someone accepts any obligation to help their fellow humans, then the conclusion is that they have an (effectively) infinite obligation. However, people

It would certainly be great if tax money were used more effectively (for whatever value of effectiveness). Causing that to be the case, though, is most likely out of reach for most of us. We can really only look at the best thing that we ca

Actually, that is the entire purpose of the Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY). Keep in mind, no one is really intrinsically concerned with the economy as an abstract concept. The things that we really care about are how this complex system

It looks interesting. There are two features that would make me really excited (could be that I just didn't find them in the few minutes I looked for them). The first is the ability to link notes directly to each other and then view t
