   Meta: There are lots of very good VPS providers around like Vultr, Digital Ocean, Linode, etc., but none are able to compete with EC2 on the storage front. Backblaze should partner with or even create one that leverages its immense storage

   There are many OSS alternatives to Slack. Some are clones and some are different approaches and many of them are quite good. The thing these and all other similar efforts miss is the importance of network effects. Everyone uses Slack becaus

   "Standards?" Only within the same operating system, and forget Windows. Actually most good things with networks evaporate when you consider the need to support Windows.

   I love that curve and thinking about how it maps to other "futuristic" tech. Space flight is probably coming out of its trough of disillusionment right now, as is renewable energy (solar/wind). Genetic engineering is deep in

   Nanotech "assemblers" are coming in a sense, but they got the scale wrong. They're called 3d printers and they operate at the macro scale, but they are not really any less disruptive. As far as true nanotech goes, we've

    I can think of only two explanations for what brains manage to do in such small volume and on such meager power: 1) P = NP or something almost equally amazing is possible algorithmically, and nature found it. 2) quantum computing So I defin

    Open Question: do we think that we basically understand all the laws of nature at this point? If that were true, we should expect few new fundamental breakthroughs... ever. We will simply explore the vast combinatorial space of what is poss

    Psychedelics are, I think, a genuine example of a suppressed technology. They're one of two major suppressed technologies of the 20th century, with the other possibly being nuclear power.

    I see the TPP as part of the obsolescence of the nation state in favor of global corporate governance. The incompetence you mention fits in with this-- those boobs are just leftovers from the old system. The fact that Donald Trump is being

    This is an astoundingly bad idea. Any fixed rule system will be gamed and thus intrinsically favors cheaters.

    Are we essentially witnessing the death of the operating system? Docker builds what amounts to giant statically linked binaries including images of an OS as support, while unikernels relegate the OS to library status. In both cases this is

    The numbers I've seen are adjusted for inflation and show that real wages have been largely stagnant since the early 70s. There have been periods of modest gain, usually when the economy is absolutely roaring like the late 90s, but t

    I'm not. I have one, albeit for a personal blog. Got it here: http://scaleway.com I'd say they need to get a bit bigger and faster to challenge x86, but it's on the horizon. ARM64 will help.

    We decided to use this cipher suite in our own product for some of the same reasons he mentions. Yet a lot of the general developer community is always like "Wut!?!?!? you didn't use AES!?!?" We've considered swapping it
