This is valid and interesting, in fact there are two almost separate problems we have from an environemntal/sustainability point of view: How much energy does a thing cost, and how much waste does it produce. These aren't the same

Agreed actually, I don't use the 'spaces' feature other than for fullscreen PDF reading. For me, BetterTouchTool is a godsend though, i can use the trackpad to 'grab' and 'resize' windows without hunting f

I respect this but the X1 Carbon's keyboard is bad, and so is its trackpad. Until something like this[0] project takes off, this is just a non-starter for me. Windows at least has OK trackpad support, and now with WSL and whatnot, the

This is great! I've been half-barely-following IPFS development for a few years now but I think this is a salient use case that I could actually see myself using. I think also with IPFS i can share files with peers pretty easily? It&#x

I agree with your point, and it makes me really sad. Let me try to make some optimistic spins? - Intel is hopefully turning their foundry business around. I think this will be a slow (1-2 decades?) process but will pay results. - Tesla and

One piece of legislation we could adopt in the US is something like australia's requirement that Facebook pay media providers for their content. Has the effect of at least compensating media providers for their journalism. https:&#x2

It is scary, especially since there are very invested powers interested in keeping it that way. "Corporations good, government bad" they'll say to their people, all the way to the bank

Bunch of good points here, I appreciate you for writing it up. I'm really interested in this space in general and I don't know what the perfect solutions are. One thing I'm cautiously interested in is the anti-corporate actio

I think this is roughly the approach that Liz Warren et all have been suggesting, roughly some sort of platform/participant divide. Applied to amazon it means they can't sell 'amazon basics' products, applied to Apple it

Here in the US we think that freedom from government oversight is the only kind of freedom. We make the mistake thinking this means that the free market is actually the antidote to government, and as long as we have the free market we will

Funny how 'traditional' here is implied to have a positive connotation, as if to say: Well, here are some people who did something we don't like, but it's maybe justified since it was tradition. Tradition need not mean g

The California Bay Area is earthquake prone, so leaving power lines exposed and above ground is pretty common. You'll see similar in Japan as well.

For me, texting is a more immediate medium than say, email. I keep read receipts and typing indicators turned on by default. I think it's a personal preference but for me it shifts the tone of the medium in a way I find valuable and ho

This makes sense. It’s easy to speculate on the right thing to have done, after the wrong thing has already been done. In the heat of the GME pump I’m sure things where 100% chaotic at robinhood HQ
