WASM can access the DOM. Check out this: https://github.com/gopherjs/vecty Like React but in Go. Not quite mature yet but getting there.

I'm convinced that the long-term future of all UI development is web based, at least at the rendering layer. WASM may free us from JavaScript.

Good. I really hope Stadia fails. Gaming is one of the major drivers of continued demand for "real computers" at the edge. Take that away and we'll lose even more momentum there.

I personally think "information wants to be free" (as in no money) is a major cause for why the Internet went so bad in so many ways. Since everything has to be free, the only possible business models are those that revolve around

Absolutely this... if it doesn't affect buying decisions it doesn't matter. Whining about it without changing behavior is a waste of time. From what I've seen the most important factors in customer use and purchasing behavior

Yeah the supposed genius of private markets has been massively oversold. I really think the power of capitalism lies not in some magical ability of markets to make good decisions but in the freedom it affords to route around bad decisions a

One thing those disasters have shown about nuclear is that a single accident -- even if there is little loss of life -- absolutely ruins the economics of nuclear power. Even an accident with no loss of life will cost an absolute fortune to

A cousin of this is what one researcher in the field of evolutionary machine learning called "dullwashing" to me in a conversation about academic funding. If he wants to do some really interesting somewhat outside-the-box work, he

I've heard it put this way: the dystopia we're building is Brave New World unless you truly get in the way, in which case it rapidly becomes 1984.

There's a real "banality of evil" aspect to this: we are building the infrastructure of a future hellish totalitarian dystopia to get people to click annoying ads and to squeeze tiny amounts of revenue from customers.

This is a case where I think both sides are true. One can be both self-reliant and reliant on others, and it turns out that's pretty much reality. One cannot rely on someone who is not self-reliant, nor can one be self-reliant without

It means any housing crash will be shifted onto other things like the value of the dollar, higher taxes, etc.

> It will not crash. There maybe a temporary double digit dip in prices described in hyperbolic "end of the world crash" terms to demand government intervention to prop up prices. This is probably true. In the short-medium term

Who runs this? The search is decent and that is non-trivial to implement. Looks nice if this is what it claims to be.

Expertise is power. The people who own, control, and operate Boeing are... well... the ones who run Boeing. It's extremely difficult to clean house at the top without losing the entire structure. It's like how it's hard to fi

Does this have any implication for chip fabs? Right now EUV requires crazy Rube Goldberg machines using tin plasma or something like that, which is insanely expensive.

Mac just hides DPI issues almost entirely. It's amazing. It's an area where Macs are by far the best, even significantly better than Windows. You can disable most of Mac's telemetry in the privacy tab in the security settings

This but also something else: Boeing and its suppliers are huge employers and a major part of America's industrial base. It's the same rationale behind bailing out the banks and letting their bad behavior slide: "national sec

Definitely Mac. They do telemetry, but three things: (1) They do less of it, give you more control, and they do not seem to reset settings on upgrades. (2) They have a history of actually standing up for customer privacy, and you are their

In the long term I think the national GOP is doing this by going after racists, extreme fundamentalists, and other fanatics. The fanatic vote is political cocaine: temporary high, then you need more and more, then your non coke head friends

I have a coworker who has had tons of problems with a Tesla and has had a terrible time with their support and repair services. I agree that it's becoming the norm even for higher priced products to have shit customer service.

I thought conservatives were often sympathetic to taboos, extolling would be reformers to first explain why a taboo (or gate) is there before seeking to remove it. So why do taboos against topics like race and gender biology exist? Tell me
