This might be a fine answer to dealing with a commodity product in a market with strong competition, but a terrible one for any system with limited choice and an extremely strong network effect.

Every right has been resisted at some point. It doesn't drift in and out of privilege status depending on how must resistance is being applied at any one moment. A right gains its power from people's belief that it should be unive

I think the main issue is that the choice of the words "privilege" or "right", when used by enough people, has the power to set societal expectations. Why should a privilege ever be extended to more people, the people wh

I think one would need to put something like that as a guerrilla war. There needs to be a distinction between: * attacking civilians (terrorism) * attacking The System, but going for softer targets and not taking its military might directly

Wouldn't this line of thinking then apply to any rights that have their scope significantly changed by later disruptive technology, including commercial flight? e.g. Free movement across the US was fine while it was on foot, horseback,

Why be so crudely reductionist as to take problems of laziness, boredom and lack of motivation and try to simplify it down to Fear? Is the idea that we have a whole arsenal of tools already for successfully dealing with Fear, and if we can

This should be a lesson for adolescents who wonder why people tend to get less and less "edgy" as they grow up. Just takes one moment of too much edge to lose the gamble and end up throwing everything away.

It seems like a pretty broadly defeatist attitude towards current actions having agency over the future: > We need to start remembering that everybody who said that Y2K wasn’t a real problem was either shouted down, or kept off the air.

This veers far too heavily into cranky-old-man territory. It tries to take a purely boolean result of knowing the future, when the real power comes from increasing ones prediction odds ever so slightly. And all it takes is very small increa

Does this mean that QUIC and other protocols implemented by Chrome will be available through this Google library? That would be a benefit over existing cURL.

It doesn't make sense for the average individual homeowner to sign something like this. It's also very difficult to do a fair clause for service quality that works at scale for a contended residential service. Also a one-year cont

When I say "balanced news", I don't mind if the media has a clear bias on a topic which shines through. It's fine if there is a right side, and they come down firmly on that side. The issue comes when it feels like they&

I don't think you can compare the relationship of a company to customers, to that of a one-to-one relationship of a doctor or a lawyer. The company acts as a third party with very different (and often directly conflicting with the end

This article dances back and forth between saying "vulnerability" and "backdoor", which while they may have the same end result wildly differ in intent. I can't tell the seriousness of this except for the telnet one

I fully support challenging writing that has a deeper meaning and that forces you to think about it to truly understand the author's larger concept. But there's an awful lot of stuff that is closer to a Rorschach test, where by th

Interesting to see the difference in style of old Linus vs new reformed Linus. Seems like the new style comes across as just heavily disappointed and with a breach of trust, which I guess compared to the plain anger of old is easier to conv

That's interesting, makes me want to see the graph of power vs cost for extra error correcting data but with longer refresh cycles on the memory (for that suspend-to-RAM application).

Nope, it just needs a more complicated way of handling the API where you run a Docker container with the client that does the E2E encryption, and you interact with that. https://smooch.io/whatsapp/

I think it could be that rather than worshiping complexity some people find it hard to value or respect simple things, and that that leads them on a path to "accidental" complexity. Like when someone find out that a rainbow is jus
