Using CF as an initialism for Cloudflare when talking about CloudFront and Cloudflare is really confusing -- especially because Cloudflare doesn't capitalize the F but CloudFront does.

There are a bunch of rough edges. Your server doesn't have a static IP for outgoing requests, so to use it with RDS, you can't just open up a port on the RDS side. (They want you to set up your own proxy) https://commun

The car would have to solve problems like: "are those people on the side of the road behaving in a way that would suggest they might accidentally fall into the road". You or I might realize that a kid trying to treat the curb as a

To complete the analogy, you'd have to want to ride your horse on a country road every so often in a way that breaks the law (original comment wanted to break the speed limit). Maybe you want to ride on private roads or something lik

Just to set things straight: central control doesn't have to mean that there is only one authority. We'd say that Twitter and Facebook both exercize central control today for example. Re "central control allows malicious take

All good points. I think we have a lot of common ground. > I think most people just want technology to work for them instead of being used to constrain them. People don't want constraints on them, sure, but they also don't want

I wasn't reframing what you said. I quoted you verbatim. What is an example of something that the mainstream left supports now that is extreme in your view? Also: do you not see the mainstream right being pulled to the right by its act

The key is in the way you're looking at it: "I have more in common with conservatives than the progressive activists" You didn't compare conservative activists with progressive activists, or conservative activists with p

Sharing a link to a document that others can edit in the cloud is much more convenient than emailing around a _final_v3(2).docx document.

That makes sense, thanks. There were DMCA takedowns before centralization, and there was certainly debate over SOPA/PIPA though. Other illegal content was taken down in the past too. (Libel, exploitative media, etc) I think the differ

The only fair price of using a car accounts for the price of removing its GHG emissions from the air. If operating a car costs less than that, then we are all indirectly subsidizing the use of cars, and we'd all be better off subsidizi

I don't think you can "get it over with" in any sort of permanent way. Antibodies acquired through vaccination or previous infection helped with Omicron, but they wane significantly over a few months. Similar things are happe

Read-only permissions still leave you open to resource exhaustion attacks. On the write side, it's nice to have your query return structured data that can automatically update your client-side cache.

GraphQL itself doesn't care whether it arrives over GET or POST. That's an implementation decision. The main problem is the limit on GET query length in some browser and server combinations. There are ways around that though. Exam

Sounds like https://webauthn.io/ would solve your problem. It's a real solution in use by a number of popular websites already. E.g. Cloudflare, ID.me.

It's oversimplifying the problem. "Government has problems, so get rid of it." ignores problems in the private sector. The private sector is great at solving problems where there is a market demand that can be solved without

The only time I can think of when you'd want to block a password manager / form filler is when it gets the heuristic wrong. It's why autocomplete=one-time-code exists.
