Agreed. I can tell from the headline that it's a Matt Levine article. That's enough to make me rub my hands together with glee.

Awesome app idea. Are you going to put up an arxiv preprint about it?

To answer my own question, I do like the car safety analogy. Since computers one day might driving cars at scale, I think the obvious strategic decision to prevent huge catastrophes is a simple one: Keep the cars un-networked. True robustne

Besides a bit of lip service to code correctness, what can they do really? They aren't going to move the kernel to a microkernel type design and besides, using advanced hardware features is out, because that would too closely tie the k

To truly fix the situation would probably require: 1) Tracking every single saleable physical asset 2) Paying manufacturer's a small fixed income type subsidy for every extra year their product lasts. 3) Charging manufacturer's a

Awesome project. I tested it with a 32 bit version of android-x86 and managed to get a mangled booting screen. It would be so cool if android apps could run in the browser in the future with this tech.

I'm working on something open source / maybe disruptive in this space but I'm not ready to announce anything yet. I'm always looking for collaborators though. I think there are easy solutions to all the problems you ment

I'd buy one, so it's an unfilled niche for me. The success of android was sort of predicated on this concept that openness always wins. It's just unfortunately sort of turned out to be a bit of a bait and switch. I've ta

I like Aaron Levie too. But my thoughts on this can be summarized by quoting one of the responses to the blog post: Why use Box and not just use Drive?

The technology side is feasible. The economic / critical mass proposition is a bigger problem. I tested the idea of a static mesh network, but there was too little interest in it. See here: http://tricorder.org/eric&#x2

Unsung heroes. Our civilization seems to have an addiction to dancing on the edge of a cliff. Thanks to heroes like these, we can dance a little longer. At least until the hot coals get us.

Once those companies start shipping at volume they will be at the mercy of price rises in the LI battery market, something Tesla will soon be insulated against. Those other companies will need to build their own gigafactories to present ser

Building the future is expensive. If Elon ever really needs the cash, he only needs to ask. I'll be there to open my wallet for him and I'm sure many others will be too. I wish he'd give up on his Mars mission plans though. H

It's funny that we've come so far in computing and yet reliable data storage is still such an unsolved problem for 99.9% of the world's consumers. All the major solutions have their drawbacks. For example, btrfs' present

This would have been a great response. It doesn't challenge the dictator's precious ego. It's human, and generates sympathy from allies & other countries. It embarrasses Putin without looking like tit for tat.

Something that doesn't increase the chance of an order of magnitude more of your citizens dying, like threatening to assault a dictator. Abbott's words served no goal. It was just a bit of tough guy posturing and he got kicked in

That article missed the most interesting one. In 2014, then Aussie prime minister Tony Abbott promised to "shirt-front" Putin at the G20 summit about the downing of MH17 over Ukraine which killed 38 Australians (and 250 other peo

Out of those two choices, Java easily wins. The open source tools & libraries for it make .NET's pale in comparison. Regarding frameworks/strategy, I'd recommend you try to go vanilla java for as long as possible and stay

I'm a paying Meetup.com customer. I'm not a huge fan of it, but it solves my #1 issue of growing a meetup that I'm interested in without me having to do any outbound marketing, like you would have to do with a FB group. How m

I didn't compare it to vim to them. The reason I mentioned vim above was because of nhumrich's inference that I was "threatening them", which was totally false. In my message, I was very polite and constructive. My point

by grizzles 10y ago
It was written in a constructive way, not as a threat. For me, the competing product is vim. All I'm saying is, I think I deserved a response for trying to help them improve their product. Maybe that's too much to ask, idk.

A different experience: I'm working on an android project at the moment. I emailed JetBrains 10 days ago asking why the Intellij Ultimate IDE blocks the UI so generously. I characterized it as heavy handed and frequently unnecessary. I

Google's initial instinct was to disrupt Facebook with an open source play called Opensocial. Then someone at Google decided it would be better to compete with Facebook, and now we have G+, and Google has gained a major competitor. I w

A bold move by Wire. Open source is still a very disruptive play, and the world needs something like this. If they manage this well and triple down on developer engagement, it could work out quite nicely for them. EDIT: Thread title is slig

btrfs will be 10 years old next year. I wonder how many more years it will take btrfs to match zfs with respect to stability.
