The negativity might be warranted if they had encouraged other people to follow, or if they were trying to DIY-vaccinate others. But that's not what happened here. These are two capable adults experimenting strictly on themselves and b

Plus, FF can preserve the value by allowing cross domain resource caching as long as the request specifies a hash. That negates the super cookie use case, but still lets you eg. load Jquery from a shared CDN. You get a free security upgrade

Yes! I would love to see a benchmark of hyper vs ipfs. Anecdotally, hyper is faster and more user-friendly. Hyper suffers from a branding problem (it's a direct evolution of dat; changing the name didn't help). But it has a strong

That is certainly what they're worried about. Here's a less flattering angle on the same worry. Europe is caught pants-down. They are realizing how weak they are in tech and scrambling to fix it. The facts: - None of the 20 most v

Speaking of organizational mess and product decisions... I find it shocking how bad Hangouts is. It's so convenient. Chat, built right into Gmail. It works. But. BUT. - It does not support video. Drop in a video, and you get a bizarre

This recalls Paul Krugman's famous clownspeak, in 1998, comparing the impact of the internet to that of the fax machine. By 1998, the internet had failed to transform a lot of industries despite a lot of hype and grifters ( WebVan, Wor

Amazing news. The upshot is, we are getting closer to a world where all popular torrents are streamable in a browser. Libtorrent powers Deluge and a few other clients. Brave Browser already has webtorrent support built in. As more clients s

Imagine if buildings were bought by people who'd only ever see them from the outside. No inspection. They don't even see the plans, just an exterior render before they greenlight. Imagine how dysfunctional architecture and constru

In practice it's exactly what happens. Bitcoin volume in Venezuela today is a rounding error. But most of the country is using physical USD to transact. Crypto still has not solved two key problems, volatility and usability. Most peopl

They did a more than just a reorg. Disbanding and replacing a PD eliminates the old police union contracts. Those lopsided contracts are at the root of the impunity and violence we've seen over the past week. Many cities have made extr

I think hairsplitting pre- vs post-tax income in this context is a distraction. $20k/month is a quarter mil a year. Worst case, you live in a high tax state, you might pay $100k in total tax, state + federal + local. That leaves a take

This is one of the most important roles of a strong leader: to swashbuckle through this kind of misalignment. Organizations age poorly by default. People become motivated to climb the org chart--or, even easier, to stay in place while sprou

This goes straight to one of the biggest holes in the web platform: there is no mechanism for code signing or release tracking. The web already has the world's most widely used public key infrastructure. When I go to amazon.com, I can

This is great! Two quick thoughts... - Maybe limit the layers to 2 or 3. The example you've got in Invision has eight layers which gives me decision paralysis. Do I want the "7 minute read" or the "9 minute read"?

Sounds like WeWork... 1600 employees. Billions raised. Big hype, but what actually shipped is similar to a three-year-old Hololens. Do you have any specifics? Who were the friends-and-family hires at Magic Leap?
