   I guess another way to put it is that TDD is an attempt to do old school "waterfall" in code form. Way back before anyone really understand how software engineering should be done, people would begin a software product by attempti

   It's not just weight -- it does seem to actually have more neurons and glia numerically. The rest of your comment stands and is probably the most likely / default hypothesis, but there are others. What if elephant brains actually

   I know a few people who have re-desktopped. Their new stack seems to be Linux desktop + Android phone, which is getting perilously close to Linux everywhere. The main reasons seem to be your first three. If you haven't looked recently

   How is being concerned about one's personal info and security critical info something that can be "overplayed?" "Seatbelts are getting overplayed. I'm not going to bother anymore. Everyone's dying in car wrecks

   I feel a little like you, but the thing that keeps me away from Windows is the insane privacy nightmare it's become. Every single MS product is now studded with telemetry that spews data about everything you do and probably leaks a lot

   The general trend since the early 2000s has been to use any change in architecture, technology, or form factor to push customer-hostile changes: total device lock-down, deep integration of surveillance, de-prioritization of creation use cas

   In the case of IPv6 I disagree. Every system administrator should have someone constantly pestering them about it 24/7. It's very important to the future of the Internet that it gets rolled out, otherwise we end up with a fundame

    If that meant total lock-down of MacOS, I'd be gone. I've been kind of waiting for this and maintaining an "escape plan."

    Does MIT have IPv6? If so just use that.

    Could you do an ICO or BTC share sale to only accredited investors with an online form asking for details a statement to that effect? I recall from angel funding that the criteria is that you must ask, and that you must have "no reason

    So it's illegal to do an ICO and offer something of actual potential value, namely shares? Seems like a serious unintended consequence of regulation.

    I think we're in the early stages of a genuine disruptive event. "They were actually worried about an 'energy crisis' back then. Didn't they realize free energy falls from the sky all day long?"

    The F35 is indeed welfare, but it's not the most damaging kind. Things like that represent waste but do little in the way of active harm, and sometimes they can even have side benefits like funding the development of advanced technolog

    Where do you live? Even in little towns and with shared housing the rent is going to be >$10k/year. In larger cities you can forget about it. Detroit is probably the best real estate bargain in America, and you can't live there

    Many people have proposed variations of this as the reason civilizations collapse. They are destroyed by their success. They gain so much surplus that it completely isolates them from any kind of feedback mechanism, over time causing them t

    I am discussing perception and social behavior, not reality per se. That may be the case but that's not how people see it when their jobs are being destroyed. Wealth also brings the luxury of long-sighted thinking. When you're poo

    I've believed this for a long time, but try re-educating two generations of IT people who think firewall equals security. It's hard enough to get them to adopt IPv6 since most think NAT is essential for security. "But my addr

    I've started thinking of it this way: "It's better to reign in hell." Poverty is worse than most natural disasters and worse than most of the predicted consequences of climate change. I'm willing to bet that the inf

    Uber isn't a mature company. They're not profitable and are burning cash like crazy. More like "CEO of a growth startup" to "fixer who can pull an over-valued startup out of a nose dive." That's a much tou

    This is really awesome. My own venture ZeroTier (www.zerotier.com) was strongly influenced by the original BeyondCorp paper. Our vision is a little different in that we do network virtualization that treats the whole world like one data cen

    Hah. It's not just HN. When I talk to other companies I often get asked "are you in the Valley or the city?" Answer: we are in SoCal, so keep going South. Sometimes they are surprised, though they seem to find it reassuring t

    I sometimes worry that old HN comments will bother me in the future. HN doesn't allow you to scrub your history. But ultimately I say fuck this. Maybe it'll be for my own good, ensuring that future employers and partners will not

    You just described the Victorian condition. I wonder if we're on the verge of a digital neo-Victorianism.
