It's a great way to make simple and tangible all this nebulous talk of "keys" and "backdoors." I like to include this part about how it only takes one mistake to permanently ruin it all: >The Washington Post inad

As a way for people to talk about unimportant topics, small talk serves a few vital functions: 1. it allows politeness without deepening the relationship. 2. it can be a breadth-first search of mutually-stimulating topics for in-depth conve

Firedrop was doing that, but it seems they've pivoted to something else. As I recall, it was literally upload your text and photo/video content, and their AI will design a static site for you, optimizing for SEO and engagement.

I get the gut reaction toward moderation at the corporate level, but United States law already covers these situations: hate speech, criminal conspiracy, and murder. The issue is lack of law enforcement.
