Traditionally, network effects have allowed us to socialize costs (and socialize benefits) in power, water, gas, roads and communications. We've used very different models in different places for each of these "natural monopolies&

I'm always amazed by how well some people manage EVERYTHING in spreadsheets. For me, it never works out - either too complicated to use properly, or not complicated enough to address my problems.

I might be in the wrong Wayland desktop environment; I couldn’t get it to work reliably. Headless Wayland was really complicated when I last tried it, and quite memory heavy. I’ll try again this month!

I don’t use x2x but use xev and xdotool for automated regression testing of GUI tools. I can’t find a low-effort, high-portability, low-menory way to do it with Wayland. Local and also in CI pipelines.

The same wealth disparity does not exist in the west. Travel 100km out of Moscow and compare how people live to the same distance from Paris. Then go to the Russian Far East. It’s overtly that not been seen in the west since the 1950s and W

The difference seems really stark. HN’s front page seems to be 15-20% GenAI related content, but the small web version at 5% or so. Is it an artifact of Kagi’s small web list generation, or are many stories being pushed by the “big web”?

Well the canonical example is WhatsApp, but there are loads of other success stories if you care to look. Small teams, big results is a characteristic that I’m very interested in, in our post-ZIRP reality.

I opened this, only to be confronted by an article about the investigation into the downing of Air India flight 182, a terrorist attack that killed hundreds of people, including my childhood neighbour friends Brinda and Arti and their dad,

Get the downside risk people in tech to report to somebody who is accountable for managing downside risk at the same level of the CTO. Typically an intelligent and tech literate CFO or Chief Risk Officer. If the Head of Security and the CTO

This is a terrifying report and if there is any justice in this world, the perpetrators of this crime against humanity will be persued and prosecuted by international tribunals. With reports like these, there is no excuse that “we didn’t kn

They won't be able to read the records due to physical bit rot of any public archives making it through the narrow path to the future, and of course the absence of most material behind paywalls that won't be in any public archives

Tight feedback loops, and where hookups are the goal then it's a real dopamine cycle. I'm guessing we'll be dealing with the impact of this for decades before we as a society manage to deal with it properly.

Given the way the world feels now, I’d really love to return to a kindergarten where every day is growth, discovery and fun without existential dread. My vote is for the Culture where the hedonism is balanced by good deeds - such as a hand

I was looking for a citation and instead found a number of vague or biased papers. Suprisingly there’s an archived DoJ page that says that the same remedies may have been much cheaper to achieve through other means. https://www.j

I agree. But I just looked at Le Shuttle’s pages on security and they claim to put 100% of trucks through millimeter wavelength scanners (presumably to detect unauthorised travellers) and x-ray systems that are supposed to detect arms and e

International HSTs with passport required border crossings (ie Schengen-UK) have passport control and security - I think the security checks are to minimise the risk of terror attacks in the channel tunnel though. But yeah, for intra-Scheng

The ease of making copies of digital data, the ease of indexing them is totally different from books, just as writing, clay tablets, scrolls and books were from a purely oral society.
