Seems to be missing SSB/Patchwork. Technically it is not federated because you can use it without servers at all, but I think the most practical case is to use "pub" servers, which act as federated hubs.

90's kid here. Thank you for reminding me that I got my GameBoy color from Toys R Us.. what a great day that was! Kids these days will keep on getting toys and video games, but the Amazon experience will never compare to the Toys R Us

I hope larger fish don't get confused and attempt to eat these robots. So I wonder what are the biggest predators that live near these reefs.. and how they are able to identify prey.

I'm glad he has a research budget, I just wish his work was open source. The fact that its not means that there is a huge barrier for anybody to actually use these ideas. Most of us don't have a team of engineers that we can task

DynamicLand seems awesome, but I'm afraid it will be forever irrelevant if it's not open-sourced or launched as a consumer product. Are there any open source implementations of DynamicLand, that I could contribute to? If not, mayb

Does linux support the hardware well, with regard to tricky-yet-important things like the trackpad, external displays, and power management? I'd much rather run linux on my iPhone, but we're lacking the ecosystem of apps, let alon

Plus, your internet packets get de-prioritized behind phone and TV on the consumer internet plans. During peak usage hours, you won't even reach those high download speeds. I recently got a 75/15 package with Comcast Business for

Do you really expect that sort of regulation to happen in the US, considering that most of the regulators golf with the executives? Its not just about the tech industry here- every industry has conglomerated into a handful of behemoths. The

It matters hugely. If Fuchsia is a research project, then I'd keep an eye on it for engineering inspiration. But if Google's leaders plan to promote it as a serious replacement for Chrome and Android, then businesses might want to

Clearly this is the thinking of both companies, but I'm not convinced it makes sense. The $13B that Uber paid out last year gave them access to a scalable network of ~7M vehicles, not just the drivers. Even if they reach level 5 auto

A "cloud API" is exactly the opposite of what the OP is looking for. Why can't we get data out of our devices without having to transmit it to their servers, or through black-box software? I definitely expect better treatment

By out-of-band in this case, I mean out of the mainstream consumption of the internet (web browsers, https, ssl certs). ISPs could block everything other than this, and most internet users wouldn’t notice or care. I think tools like IPFS wi

I’m a big fan of IPFS, but I’m disappointed to see it mentioned in this thread. It only serves to distract from the issue of net neutrality. As great as IPFS is, it won’t help if the price for general-purpose internet skyrockets. Access to

If I were working in a factory, I would probably consider it less safe to strap myself to a powerful piece of machinery that may (or may not) be under my control. That said, I'm sure they are taking safety very seriously.

Totally. I would argue that React was successful not because of the declarative programming style that it enables, but because it integrates so easily into the imperative JS ecosystem.

It's a noble idea that government should exist to protect consumers from corporations. But it will never work unless there is some authority that could protect the governments from the corporations.

Another fun thing about mobile.twitter.com: it is built using react-native-web, so it uses <View /> and <Text /> instead of <div /> and <span />. In theory it could share code with a React Native
