Our designers use Figma but the licenses are so expensive that people on the product team can’t even make small changes or illustrate concepts. Additionally the UX has tons of hidden features making it hard for non experts to discover how t

It amazes me that there is no authentication provided by governments in the US to citizens. They just accept a social security number as if it was some sort of password, when it was never intended for that purpose. Other countries give citi

I really hope you adopt the latest models particularly streaming attention variants. I think you should validate with users the assumption that latency is more important than WER. IMHO the WER is more important than latency improvements in

If PayPal wasn’t such a crap company they’d be the perfect solution for this problem. Just enter your payment and shipping info once and get one click checkout on any site.

I wish they would offer support for local DNS or let me run my own DNS server. Having to remember so many IPs is inconvenient and regressive.

This is pretty cool my biggest problem with micropayments is friction when browsing and friction for managing subscriptions. Integrating it into the browser should make it much more automatic. It’s kind of a chicken and egg problem where pu

We recently started using another scaffold generator from http://scaffoldhub.io . It’s similar to this but geared more for apps than for marketing sites. It allows you to build out a complete data model and backend. It’s got a lo

I like to fantasize sometimes about having a giant house in Raleigh for the price of my one bedroom in SF. I just don’t know anyone moving from SF to Raleigh. The people I know are moving to Berkeley or the peninsula after they have kids. I

We expect everything on the web, including our user agent, to be free as in no cost. The only way to pay for the development cost is to sell to third parties aka advertisers. If people actually paid money to develop more advanced user agent

Just signed up for a Standard Notes subscription today. How does this compare? Seems they are both e2e encrypted with Markdown and code highlighting. Standard notes also has rich text and todo list plugins.

No one cares because the perceived cost is zero. Burning your recycling just externalizes the cost to the environment. If I lived in one of those cities, I’d encourage the city to increase disposal fees so they can do it properly. If peopl

Is the 4K resolution less strenuous for you than HD? I tried looking at text in VR a while ago on an older Vive and the text was too blurry for me to easily read.

Could this be a threat to open source software? If they require developers to insert backdoors to decrypt data, and the company uses open source software for security, how do we know they won’t attempt to weaken it? Most open source project

People don’t work at jobs for life any more. It’s common for younger people to switch jobs every 2-3 years. In this environment, it makes more business sense to work employees hard because the company doesn’t need to consider long term heal

It’s hard to make a media program with wide appeal about computer science because it’s abstract and behind the scenes. No one wants the Carl Sagan of plumbing. With physics you can actually show the object being discussed, which matches bet

If fraud is such a problem for stores would it make sense to offer a discount for payment methods like bitcoin that don’t allow chargebacks? This could reduce the cost of doing business by gaurenteeing payment.

Yeah I think most people store them for a limited time, such as a week or a month. Most issues that pop up will only be relevant that long. You can have permanent archives for individual data since storage is cheap, or even summary metrics.

I think that's a fair point. It's really something we want and believe will become ultimate over time as more people contribute to it. It's got a good start but needs a lot more work. I think it's useful to show the visi
