   Holy crap that could be a public charity. You donate $10 to help keep a service running that honeypots the scammers. Like an automated / machine-learning version of kitboga, the guy on twitch who scams people and thousands of people

   Global median per-capita daily income is $8. So I have to spend my whole day's income to upload a video? You're effectively restricting speech to the rich, and the poor just have to sit there and listen. That would be sad and un

   Another kind of good tech debt I was hoping to see here is when something is built somewhat poorly/quickly because it will give you information that you need to have in order to know whether it's worth building it any better.

   To meet people, talk and learn is an obscure and rare form of tourism. How common do you think it is?

   Should nations regulate AI like they regulate advanced military technologies? Or like they do crypto? I say no, the genie is way too far out of the bottle for this to be effective. Any nation that wants an advantage in AI will have to sec

   GP was about how Excel lacks "access control", "auditing", "change tracking". Then OP says it'll be easier to add those things to Excel than to make non-Excel suit the purpose. Then you say no, backwards

    APM is effectively bandwidth, but just as important if not more important is latency -- which is called TTFA, Time-To-First-Action. See https://illiteracyhasdownsides.com/2016/12/23/time-to-first-... and the

    I guess I should start a service that provides small indie devs with "first party" analytics. I provide the software, it runs on a server dedicated to you, your data is separate from anyone else's. That's first-party,

    You're missing something very important. Imagine we are co-workers, and I come up to you and say "hello" and then stand there saying nothing further for an entire 60 seconds. While you stand there and wonder why I'm the

    I like your way of thinking about it. Proof is just a good in a negotiation. To put your point another way, there is one set of rules, considerations and motives for the speaker, and another for the listener. Depending on the context, ei

    Very cool idea, I like where you're going! If you haven't already, do some in-person playtesting with people, stay totally quiet and watch them work through it. Or use userbob (no affiliation to me). I think you'll find lot

    Thanks. Reading all of page 25, the quote makes more sense. It's a throwaway remark, the discussion is about the implications of energy use, and how capping our energy use ("stasis") would be a big change for all of us.
