I did three things that really helped: 1. Delete all social media apps and remove bookmarks of frequently visited sites so I’d have to type them in instead of just clicking. 2. Bought an Apple Watch. This allows me to know when I have a cal

I interpreted this comment as not saying a $1 billion penalty is necessarily inappropriate for this particular deal, but it’s a waste of money in general to pay $1B to achieve nothing when that money could have been put to better use or don

I think Bitcoin does a lot more damage than your AV scan does. At least you are incentivized for profit reasons not to let your energy bill get too out of control, whereas Bitcoin flips those incentives and actively rewards energy wastage.

I read about this a few months back and it seems that a key issue with controlled burns is liability. No-one wants to be responsible if the wind blows in an unexpected direction and it gets out of control. They’re scared of the variables. A

Not sure I agree with the abolition of patents. If it takes you a decade or more to invent something and then someone else can immediately copy and sell it, what incentive do you have to do all that work? I do agree that patents/copyri

While ffmpeg does support a lot of really old / obscure media formats, support isn’t nearly as good for professional broadcast / film video formats. DNxHD can be hit or miss and it doesn’t support formats like OMF or AAF. I have h

How is social media an alternative to RSS? There’s no guarantee users will actually see what you post. I think the big problem with RSS is that non-technical users didn’t use it. I see this as a marketing failure - browser support was never

I thought I could save money by hosting some backend services in-house but soon realized it ended up being more expensive than EC2 solely because of the egress fees. So whether or not Amazon intended it that way, it functions as something t

Interesting that he was religiously opposed to fingerprinting but had no problem with the debt collection aspect. I seem to recall Jesus being not-too-complimentary about the tax collectors of the time who hounded people for money.

The speed at which the Taliban were able to retake the country shows just how little the US achieved in 20 years.

The community guidelines are good but they’re hidden away on the forum. I was asking them for years to just make those the official guidelines and link them prominently on the CV site but they never did. However, Hillary, the new community

Well that was kind of my point: you need to manually figure out what’s clean and what isn’t.

Common Voice is a great project that I’m glad Mozilla kept alive. One problem is that data for speech recognition needs to be extremely accurate (i.e. the speech matches the transcript perfectly) and the human review process is infallible a

Twitter is a smaller, less powerful company with a much smaller userbase and it only really has the main Twitter service, while Facebook is more encompassing with services like Messenger, groups, events, pages, Marketplace, Workplace, datin

Instead of guessing what other people may need, try creating a product that you need. Unless it’s super niche there are probably other people who need such a thing too.

AWS’s on demand pricing is high but their reserved pricing doesn’t leave a lot of flexibility. Why is it just 1 or 3 years? What if I only need it for 6 months or 2 years? Can’t I just get a discount proportional to a custom length of time?

You could really say this about anything - for instance, violent video games. If we start banning everything that someone with a severe mental disorder could potentially abuse, that would end up being quite a long list. But there is evidenc

The Apple security feature I hate the most is notarization. I get the point of it, but Apple’s execution of it is poor. Sometimes it takes 10+ mins to notarize an app and the service regularly returns random failures. My software has a feat

It seems crazy to me that someone would demo something that important without first doing a practice run-through. Things do sometimes go wrong and it’s the presenter’s job to make light of it and carry on like it’s not a big deal.

Sure, Collins is vastly different from MTG in style/demeanor, but are their voting records really that different? That’s the mistake people keep making about Collins: she says things that sound reasonable and sensible, but at the end o

A rethink of US drug policy, particularly regarding psychedelics, is long overdue. It blows my mind that LSD is in a higher category (i.e. considered more dangerous) than cocaine.
