Disney+ is also very disappointing on that back catalog. There are Disney cartoons that I watched as a kid and would love to show to my kids. I can find them on YouTube, apparently badly copied from VHS tapes. I can't find them on Disn

> once you get out of the meat grinder Jr levels life is pretty good Life is good, but I don't look back at the Jr levels as a meat grinder. In many aspects, obviously excluding money, life was way better back then.

From the offers I was getting back in the day, finance runs on low base salary and huge bonuses. Bonuses of 200% of the base salary are not unheard of. Full base salary can still mean quite a bit of pain.

When you’re tricked into installing a nasty app, you’re likely also tricked into giving it whatever permissions it needs for the nastiness.

Isn’t most of the value here in not allowing sideloading? In iOS your grandma/child cannot be tricked into clicking “allow apps from untrusted sources”, which is how most breaches happen.

But there are no analog backups in cars. Engines also operate on software. Not sure to what extent, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that steering wheels and brakes too. I know that sounds a bit scary, but somewhat doubt modern traction

I’d rather apply Hanlon's razor here. And for your example: my employer finds it worthwhile to maintain a security person to be equipped and trained to take adequate pictures of employees in each office. It’s a linearly scaling cost th

Then, there are countries with regulations against fictitious self-employment. They’ll happily decide that your foreign contractor has been a full time employee, with all the protections of their local law. They’ll also hand you an invoice

I thought that a number of first party Google "native" apps is just a packaged PWA, isn't it? Disclaimer: I work for Google, but never paid much attention to that corner of the company.

There will be a well proportioned response, but it won’t be an actual SWAT team. There’s typically one such team per five to ten million people and they won’t move for a joke call. But more importantly, with an order of magnitude rarer kill

I’d posit there’s a generic way to assess the hope: Does the protocol come with inherently good way to deal with spam right in the core design? If not, it’ll eventually end with delegating trust to corporations.

This is an important concept in my work. From experience, there is a pretty simple litmus test. It is pretty well understood that the word “imperative" denotes a system where the user describes a series of steps. The system executes th

A lot of places have this problem. Pavements are for pedestrians. Roads are for roadworthy vehicles. It’s maybe legal to go on bike paths. But the network of those might go from nowhere to nowhere.
