   I’m hosting my email on Scaleway for 4-5 years and have no issues with deliverability. Last time I checked my email server was correctly configured.

   I worked with their tech, testing it, and I loved the product. It was definitely ahead of its time. Similar in some ways to what Fly is doing these days, without the edge.

   You need to have some kind of vision and conviction. When it comes to personal computing vision, MS lost it, so they’re more reactionary to what’s happening on the market.

   It’s like psychedelics, if you haven’t experienced it, it’s hard to understand it.

    I get your point, but in terms of “vision of personal computing” I like Apple’s vision the most and it’s sad to see there are no other companies that even try to go in that direction. Microsoft gave up on it and Google is too beholden to it

    True, but the integrations with Apple Watch are very well done, even if the functionality is not strictly overlapping across platforms. The improvements in user experience caused by this tight ecosystem integration feed into each other, vas

    I’m curious if Microsoft is regretting not pursuing the Windows phone and universal apps strategy with more pathos, seeing now how successfully is Apple executing incremental changes to get to a homogenous cross device experience. At this p

    How do you source that? It seems to be fairly esoteric.

    This is the most reasonable comment in this whole thread. It’s good to acknowledge the current mania and the type of unethical behavior it attracts, but it would be intellectually lazy to dismiss the whole field.

    Regardless of e2ee, they might have code bundled in the WhatsApp app that just deletes local video messages based on a hash. That wouldn’t break encryption.

    It seems that Tim Cook considers the devices and the ecosystem that they create a *aaS. So they shouldn’t be considered general purpose devices on which you can run anything. Think of them as cloud devices with local/edge cacheing for

    At least Japan and the EU have higher debt to GDP ratio's, but the currencies of those places definitely enjoy a high level of trust in the world.

    This is a very astute point and it's how I've always thought about Bitcoin and other crypto assets. I never understood why people have to debate whether it will take over currencies like the USD or EUR, which it will probably neve

    Indeed, the petro dollar has had all kinds of side effects, good and bad. Like any imperial rule, some get crushed by it, but peace and prosperity can be a direct outcome of it as well, and I think this was the case with the American "

    If only we could all get along and sing Kumbaya together, we could solve all the world problems. In this context of human conflict and geopolitical power struggles, does bitcoin make any sense to you?

    We are heading into a world where we are co-living with computers and this won't change. I think it's fair to say that our societies have become dependent on computers and they improve our capabilities to such a high degree that i

    Ok, that's inline with what I expected. I was also thinking of mandating that developers embed some kind of manifest with the app which states what resources it consumes (public ports, Internet connectivity to specific hosts etc) so th

    Thanks for the detailed explanation, this is very useful! This is a pretty open ended question, but what approach would you choose in order to get the most security for the buck, for a piece of software that runs containers for non-technica
