Outside? I got mobbed an entire year while doing tech support for a what-used-to-be poster child of successful tech. Manager would randomly chronometer the time it took me to answer tickets and warned me I spent too much time thinking befor

I guess it was a mere rhetorical artifice to mean "if not useless, of very scarse added value".

WOT signed endorsements. Back when I had time I drafted a P2P application to share papers and execute peer review via GPG based digital signatures. Signed metadata - at least that was the plan - allowed communities to endorse, retract, flag

But then you have to build for redundancy rather than just performance (say, sacrifice some floor-plan to error correction, recovery, circuit duplication, etc...)

Margin on rent is always higher for several reasons: risk (the landlord remains hamstrung by a mortgage regardless of whether they have a tenant or not), privilege (not everyone can afford the downpayment, have good enough income history to

My take is that our (economically) liberal social order refuses to accept interdependence, especially towards the services that guarantee our otherness from our wild state (basically all essential ones such as nurses, garbage, etc) It’s bas

Will you consider designing the chassis to be coffee-spill resistant? (if it's not already) Also, will you consider establishing an EU warehouse to reduce shipping and customs overhead?

More often than not the common people on the ground have no personal reason to hate each other. Activists (I’m using this term to refer to all politically engaged individuals taking action according to their camp) and politicians are the

Another option would be a social housing program to buffer evictions and provide human rights (food and shelter are one, there's absolutely no discussion about this) to those in most difficulty. Of course this approach will be met with

Nah, I don’t buy it. If it’s “just” bug fixes (for which I might have implemented a hack that now depends on the bug) I prefer Nightly builds with the latest (and re-pinned) dependencies available. Releases are just a re-tag after extra QA

It’s not carbon-neutral as long as it interferes with renewables displacing carbon. I’m totally fine and will jump in crypto with both feet the day it stops pissing so much energy in the wind

How about hooking up that excess energy to a federal grid and make that growth both permanent and sustainable? What will happen when BTC goes back into the dumpster for a couple years (if not forever)? All those tons of Carbon that could ha

Nope, no, don't go that way. Yes, the Sun does bathe the Earth with a constant stream of energy, a stream that remains mostly unused. The point is, that it is also mostly not useful energy, energy we have technology to convert into for
