I don't understand why any "why" question in evolutionary biology is ever satisfied with a "survival of the fittest" truism. Any evolutionary explanation you give me is also falsified by the existence of another spe

The comparison between religious fanaticism and wokeness is incomplete. One big difference is that religion can be deeply meaningful to an individual without them needing to express their beliefs publicly - religion can often be an entirely

I deleted my Airbnb account a few months ago due to multiple similar situations, after 4 years of practically living full time through Airbnb in Europe. Airbnb’s “insurance” or guarantees are completely worthless, as I’ve found out after th

Sometimes I think about the years of hard work that I put into building a SaaS business and wondered whether I should've just done something silly like this instead.

This also explains the unreasonable effectiveness of solo programmers and small teams, and why the famous adage is so true: adding programmers to a late project makes it even later.

There are smarter ways to do this without constantly sending all the audio. Wakewords + surrounding snippets for example. In fact if the audio recognition is done on-device then only the text data could be sent which would be indistinguisha

> The US is the world’s sole military superpower. It spends more on its military than the ten next highest spending countries combined. Dubious claim. Military power is not measured in “spending”. Manufacturing is in fact a basis for mod

To insure against being locked out of my Apple ID I simply export and store my own backups periodically. Good idea regardless of which provider you use.

iCloud Passwords is more secure than that. Even a TOTP code and password is not enough to initiate a password sync. You also need to biometrically authenticate a previously synced device

Nope. Check the Apple documentation, that’s not how it works. Even if Mallory gets your Apple ID and 2FA code you still need biometrics from a nearby device to initiate password sync. This is a special requirement for Passwords that does no

by _1tem 2y ago
Important to note that not all password managers are equal. Using Apple’s built-in password manager is more secure because it is inherently tied to your biometrics and authentication is hardware-based, i.e Secure Enclave. This is categorica

What I really want are automated emails interspersed during the workday with my overdue Anki cards. It should be one click straight from the email to answer the quiz card, and appropriately rescheduled to my inbox in case of a memory miss.

It'd be not-so-funny if there was a miscalculation and the Earth was slowed down or sped up too much. There's a story about the end of times and the Antichrist (Dajjal) in the Muslim traditions where this sort of thing actually ha

This is a really good idea, beautiful API, and something that I would like to use for my projects. However I have zero confidence that this startup would last very long in its current form. If it's successful, AWS will build a better a

It's because the absolute centralization of business in one entity is almost indistinguishable from Communism. For now it may appear that Amazon is cheaper/more convenient, but in the long run this type of monopoly leads to worse

How do I backup my passkeys? I can print out a hard copy of passwords and even 2FA code generator strings, but I haven’t seen an easy way to export and import passkeys. This is a problem. If it were as simple as printing out a list of QR co

Furniture. Instead of buying fixed mass-SKU items from IKEA or Amazon, it is common to order custom-made furniture in Ukraine. I once ordered an office table in Ukraine on Rozetka (Ukraine's version of Amazon) and was surprised when th

This is not just about information asymmetry. If you want to do something well, you have to find someone that truly cares about doing it well. Price is almost irrelevant, in fact, it may actually be a negative signal, because the best perfo
