Just to entertain an introverted perspective, flexible exploitation models (gig), narcissistic tendencies (creator) and cult followings (participatory) have "bad haircut" written all over them (someone will sport them though, Just

It may be a case of just talking louder than the other comments (amplifying as you say) Your last paragraph is a strategy I've labeled "tarpitting" (you want to avoid these environments or at least point them out). I rarely c

I guess the above was more about keeping the comments terse (at best) by default, rather than instituting an ambiguous or arbitrary formality. The overlay thought was similar to the map concept, where you can load and toggle data layers (co

To think that [them] having made so much progress in the kernel by carrying a "Lean and Mean" profile for all of those decades is astounding! My guess is Linus is still L&M (if people didn't enjoy his lean, they wouldn&#x

The 1950's were beyond the Wild West for atomic research (no rules to speak of). While on the other side of the US at the same time, they were leaving time capsules (which may explain global or atmospheric changes over the decades). It

After the last farm bill and the estimate of "1 hectare of hemp to build a 135 m2 (1,450 sq ft) house", I really thought we would have seen a "rural metropolis" growth boom (aka new cities) by now, but I think the autono

Don't quote me on this, but I hear: creeps like other users data I think the next billion uses (not users) of the linux kernel will be on bare metal (or bare SOCs, wtcmb), so storage yes, but no networking or cloud required for opti

Well, with all of the swinging C.o.C. puns available, I'll tread safely and just point out L.T. never seemed to be about compromising quality over making people happy. Solid state does not have squeaky wheels.... Somethings amiss here.

A few points irk me on "the beginning of the end" conjecture in modern technology, rather than focusing on "as one door closes, another one opens" philosophies that keep it all going. If I were to do coffee with Linus, I

The current state of "safety" online was actually a masterclass in growth, trends and thresholds of open platforms. Each interation could only bear so much. In the dialup and early broadband phase, looking "under the hood&quo

This goes beyond ripple20, but TCP/IP is like an old friend that has become a meth addict in their old age. There are a lot of good memories, but trust as of late is non-existent for good reason. The first nerd(s) to go TCP/IP&#x2

By not using an email address (dialtone is a medium unto itself, just as much as snailmail, in-person, messaging and video links are and would require different security protocols). I grew up reading Nerd Vittles (lurker shoutout to Ward) a

Removing 99% of the spam/threats/exploitation/whoring shouldn't be so easy. Again, one-size-fits-all is always black and white (ala open garden/closed garden), but communications is the fundamental concern being add

by aSplash0fDerp 6y ago
Possibly OT, but dropping email and going exclusively with dialtone/messaging for communications would be a breath of fresh air vs cat-n-mousing around the global spam issue (being under 24/7 attack/abuse is absurd). It may t

This is another clear example of 20th century scale. They made everything "so big", that they have to fill the pipeline with inferior products/drivel just to keep it at capacity. 21st century scale doesn't suffer from th

At the very least, for those on their 1st rodeo (who missed the 2008 burp), they get to see the anatomy of a sh!t sh0w in vivid detail. The current display has a little bit of everything (pandemic, social unrest, narcissistic depravity, a f

As disposible as Internet things are, it's nice that we are seeing what "could happen" when disagreements occur (its less valuable now). Even if Walmart or Amazon disappeared, there would be another company there to fill the

Each generation will have its own bias. In the analog world, "jack of all trades" is an inefficient model to develop, but in the digital world, knowing something exists (and having working knowledge) makes planning and execution o

The service economy will continue to be fragile for years. The resilient parts of the economy are already planning for EMP protection from disruption and developing space exploration economies.

Well. 1st one to the door (selling artificially inflated assets) does not guarantee success. I'm sure many/most landlords are still rooted in reality and are still using the infamous investing formula of "where there are lose

John Oliver summed this up pretty well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l-nEHkgm_Gk It looks like the age of Independent candidates is upon US. The existing burdens/obligations prevent the existing parties from seeing th

This appeared to be a valid point (why the downvote). An underlying pandemic throws most of the historical data out the window. Just ask Hertz, AMC and Las Vegas.

With all of the layers of legislation and enforcement, by in large, most citizens hands are clean when it comes to the current round of hot-button issues. (Waiting for someone to post #americashandsareclean and keep the spotlight on policy)
