Hey - great and important idea. Have you discussed / looked into sampling environmental radio noise at various frequencies and locations and then interpolating samples of them within the video and audio itself at recording-time? (ideal

Personal data minimism is and has been a successful strategy for pioneers and the socially mobile, I think. What I wonder about is whether, on aggregate, the claims that widely available healthcare data can lead to improved state-wide healt

Sounds like you're fortunate enough to be in a country where you get to be shown a contractual agreement and are able to make a decision regarding data-sharing before proceeding (as long as you take the time to read the small print).

Do your developers run the same Nix packages that you deploy to production? (that sounds like a energy-level-transition in developer productivity and debugging capability, if so)

Ok, thanks. Is there a threshold of number of private companies holding your health records that you would change your mind at?

As someone who does not have a lot of sex, and is probably quite repressed: I think that sex should be considered a bit like any other form of human conversation; it just so happens that it tends to involve different body parts. Yes, consen

That theory seems likely to me. There's a large amount of architecture-and-effort debt built up as a result of it though: duplicate feature implementations, redundant app build and deployment infrastructure, silo'd marketing chann

I can't critique the risk you raise about reward for worker time; that's valid concern. But isn't part of the thesis of capitalism that it should drive market efficiencies and thus reduce the cost of goods and services for co

Aha: it's because the project team merged this change that intentionally fails the build when people have pinned their workflows to use the deprecated branch name: https://github.com/google-github-actions/setup-gcl

Why are people on the issue thread reporting that this has broken their builds when the change hasn't been applied yet?

Yes, although mostly in small, incremental ways. I try to use entirely free and open source software on my personal laptop (and I'm fortunate enough that my work environment is fairly similar too). When I encounter some kind of annoyin

Interesting - so, to reinterpret: are you saying that one of the significant changes that open source brought about has been to remove purchasing approval barriers for software usage? ...and that we're stuck in a local minima where we

Glad to hear that you're keen to move away from fossil fuels. I'd add that renewable energy production methods are currently cheaper, faster to construct, easier to secure (both in terms of perimeter and supply chain), easier to

Anticipating a counter-argument: wouldn't individuals become the arbiters of the software functionality that is developed, if all open source software was based on a sponsor model? Isn't that more democratic? Perhaps; some financ

What you say is true, but the open source model does make it easier for people to subscribe to a subset of threads, issues, projects, etc that they find relevant to their goals, and to follow and contribute to those selectively. In other wo

Generally I think my perspective on the issue is that a lot has been written already, and that people have a tendency to rewrite and bring-to-market content that is a rehash of existing knowledge, as opposed to gathering people together tow
