I didn't consider HTTP basic auth as part of the open ecosystem because it's not, as far as I know, widely supported by clients. Is it? Maybe my assumption was wrong. But it's also not part of the original "open" po

Do you think there should be podcast that are paywalled, or are you against that on principle? And if you support paywalled podcasts, what, in your mind, would be the correct way for Spotify to implement them? (I'm genuinely curious yo

Your comment raises some really good points, one of which is that address information is actually public information. It is interesting to me how in the last say 30 years this information, which used to be just considered a basic fact, has

You’re talking about capitalism not social structure. The post above that brought up social structure is also a red herring. This is about legal power and the threat of coercion. It would be trivial to implement a law to punish (say) Eric A

Missed this at the time. Belated thoughts: Hmm. I didn't address the point about primary sources because it didn't seem like the main point. Right after you brought that issue up, the next sentence seemed to cast aside the importa

Contemporary "Lunch with the FT" columns show exactly what items were ordered and the total cost in a little summary box (including cost of the various items, like a restaurant bill). This format did not take hold until 2003, acc

Sure on the sides of buses in Ottawa during “Ottawa's Cansec, the largest defence trade show in Canada.” And I’ve seen blogs writing about f35s and I have no doubt defense contractors are tied to that somehow, whether through ads or pu

Defense contractors don’t buy ad space in regular media outlets. In Aviation Week and maybe Foreign Policy and some trade journals, sure. When was the last time you saw an ad for an F-35 on nytimes.com? Why would they advertise defense syst

Few if any people in an organization will admit that they are not devoted to the goals of the organization, and I think few senior people actually believe they are not devoted to those goals. Further, it is difficult for many people in an o

I find it interesting that the article doesn’t describe a single harm from the drugs, instead focusing on alleged weak efficacy. My theory is that the article is playing into a vaguely Protestant ethos that drugs are Bad and Unnatural and t

My point is pretty simple: It was not an American war, America was not a major party to the horrors of the war (except as a perpetrator of nuclear attacks on civilians), and an article purporting to describe the real visceral combat traumas

I know (and can see from this thread) that emotions run high around anything touching on the ex USSR but I don’t think the current war in Ukraine is at all germane to this article from 1989 about ww2 (or to the content of my posts on HN abo
