Not to mention crime like theft, fraud, burglaries. But yes, a perpetual underclass has giant negative externalities. The status quo is deeply ingrained to the American psyche - the risk of someone taking advantage of handouts trumps all ot

Even if that is true in the general case (it isn't necessarily - there are many factors), it’s a matter of what’s acceptable, not a race to 1000fps. If you build a webview based app (using eg tauri) I can assure you that it can be extr

Same. I do a lot of research and try to get a sense of the person/team behind it and their values, vision, dedication, if they accept outside contributions, etc. A few years ago it became popular to document the project processes, but

Off topic: I think there’s very serious ethical implications with linking to siloed app ecosystems from the open web. There’s a paradox of tolerance hiding here somewhere. The web is significantly worse today than it used to and I think we’

Yes, but I imagined that you’d have a ceiling for rolling average / token bucket over a sensible time window, with two limits: - a soft alert limit, which you set to the threshold of “hmm something is wrong but we’ll bear the cost unti

It’s baffling how defeatist and ignorant engineering culture has become when someone else’s non-deterministic, proprietary and non-debuggable code, running on someone else’s machine, that uses an enormous amount of currently VC-subsidized r

In my experience QUIC is worse than TCP in a heterogeneous environment when optimizing for throughput. The added CPU usage from user space packet switching is a big factor for battery powered devices and congestion control lives its own lif

Right. VCs are involved in one stage of the formation of companies, with repeat games. This creates certain incentives and biases. One such incentive is to drive hype for other investors. And one bias is that they tend to see startups and f

I second this request of releasing the results of this “digital tracer dye” experiment. If their respect for your personal data is that low, they deserve to be named and shamed. And more.

Theory of mind error here. If it doesn’t work I may assume their system is down or doesn’t support my browser. Thus there would be no point in trying again, even if I was interested in the product. If it were to work on the second try it’d

Charging speed is a big issue when you’re renting or road tripping. When people use shared infrastructure, charging time corresponds to how many customers you can serve per parking spot/charging station. With gas, hoards of cars can be

Another one would be philosophy: there’s nothing, something and everything. Or logic: ∃, ¬∃ and ∀. Just rambling here, but seems like universal concepts across fields.

Maybe this is insightful at its core, but “growth” and especially “growth mindset” is the most LinkedIn performance review garbage I’ve ever been force fed, so it’s a bit of a turnoff simply based on how I’ve seen it used in practice.

Sure, I think we agree in semantics but the wording is difficult. The bar for secure you’re referring to is quite high, a lot of commercial products that brand themselves secure would be much less secure than something like age. These day

Tangentially, these “privacy” addresses are such an ipv6-ism of small theoretical value at the expense of extra complexity and noise. If ipv6 had been “ipv4 but now with 100% more bits”, I suspect we would have come a lot further in global

IPv6 can get rid of NAT which is one of the most annoying hurdles. It unlocks the type of use case where technical people can host something from home for fun, although many can’t access it because both parties need ipv6. But if you set you
