It literally is reducing safety margin(buffers) of a whole distribution system by definition, and it is also being applied in places where it does not fit - like systems that should be resilient to disruption and/or anti-fragile. I wou

"Just in time" is a phrase I hate with vehement passion. You aren't optimizing the system, you're reducing safety marigns - and consequences are usually similar to Challanger. This is a solution that teenager put in mana

Sure, but in non-digital markets we had a term for most common growth hacking tactics for attaining that niche monopoly. Dumping. Operating on loss for years, just burning money to capture a market and then jack up prices and make competiti

Hopefully all social media. and all of them should be run by non-profit organizations unconnected to any charity nor politically motivated organization nor state.

I find it funny that i hated Lem for most of my life... because i was forced to read only his Robot stories in school. I still despise those moralist fables. But his other works? i love them! My favorite is The Star Diaries, despite having

i think that default REST is a bit problematic as it conflates transport protocol level errors with application logic ones. At least unless you use application/problem+json or application/problem+xml MIME types but those are still

until you find someone abusing XSD schemas, or someone designing a "dynamically typed" XML... or sneaks in extra data in comments - happened to me way often than it should.

butchered is an understatement - randy's Shitty Midas touch has struck again. That game is worse in every aspect than homeworld 1 and 2, except in visuals. Even ship behavior is worse(!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

I'm not a lawyer but Company using Plausible gets fined, but then they can sue Plausible. most likely. But GDPR enforcement is more like 'you need to fix this, if you don't you get the fine' - if you are actually helpful

why do you think that unregulated social networks are a threat? why not all social networks? Frankly being served content at whim of company optimizing profits is as bad. In best case it is a feed optimized to extract as much value from you

It is all also trust based, with plenty of examples showing that access was available despite all checks and balances supposedly being in place. If it is trust based i would rather trust someone who's open source and privacy advocate t

Yeah, in both cases it is user hostile entity hellbent on tracking you, with strong legal defense. I think this actually makes things worse.

if i remember right, it was ages ago, they were bought out by 'advertiser friendly' company. I'm as advertiser hostile as i can be as i find that whole industry to be a cancer upon this earth.

there's thin line between 'autoupdates consisting of security patches and bugfixes' and 'we will extract every piece of data we can and possibly remove features with no way to rollback'. most apps fall into the latt

for me it is the opposite - i actually prefer older UI. Less optimized for farming my attention and ads, more optimized for me discovering things, and not being shoehorned into choices.
