A poor abstraction is always a poor abstraction, but a good abstraction can not only isolate your components from change but also provide a better interface. I'm not going to write raw HTTP requests to S3 in every place in my code that

Imagine how much smaller/faster Chromium would be (or any of Google's big web apps) if the primary developers didn't get to use supercomputers to build and test on every day.

That's a problem for sure, but my point is that regardless is you cannot physically increasing the housing supply of _singly detached houses_ in Toronto or similar cities, regardless of policy.

> Average house (detached) price is over 1.3 million. The popularity of wanting to live in Toronto makes detached housing for everyone who wants it untenable. There just isn't enough space.

The "which apps are using battery" feature is easily useable by novice users. However most phone vendors incorrectly assume "background connections" will drain battery life despite evidence to the contrary. Phone vendors

The web browser vendors have too much money. They have no incentive to keep the platform small. Google in particular, the cost to implement Blink is essentially meaningless to them, but it is beyond affordability for almost anyone else.

That doesn't seem like a bad goal. It incentivizes stories that are important to their target market, and provides an easy way to measure that.

Most big tech IPOs these days are just for the founders to cash out. Look at facebook's, they were essenitally done growing and innovating, the IPO was just a means for execs to cash in their stock at inflated rates.

Yep. But that's an implementation problem. Revocation is a critical security feature. Complaining that people didn't used to check it is like complaining that people didn't used to encrypt. You're not secure if you don

Why. If revocation already works why bother with expiration?

by admax88q 8y ago
Expiry dates are in years, if a key is compromised, then an adversary has _years_ to exploit a MITM. However we already mitigate this with revocation lists. But if we can revoke certificates why do we have expiration dates? Seems to me exp
