There is a very clear market desire for desktop style apps delivered through browsers. Users love it. Users hate installers. Users hate updates. Webpages have neither. Companies love it. Makes subscription access apps easy to sell. Makes it

I don't know the difference between the user and system store, but I do know that apps can choose not to trust certs installed by the user and instead only trust their own that they bring with them. Was frustrated to find this when I

See for example a slide from education advocates which states that asserting "2 + 2 = 4" is "Covert White Supremacy". https://twitter.com/HTheijsmeijer/status/1571174175162699778... There was a

I guess it comes down to how widespread you think the coercion that you mention is. I tend to believe the current rate of non-cis identification is at least an order of magnitude over the "natural" background rate, specifically be

That is a fair ask. To be honest, I am unwilling to devote to this discussion the time which would be required to research examples. I will concede that if these things never happened, I personally would find the infohazard argument non-c

Just to be clear: are you saying the argument is bad because these things are never taught, or are you saying that these things are good to teach actually?

That's a strawman. The steelman version is something like the following chain of reasoning: (a) gender identity is something that everyone has that is distinct from sex, (b) with enough introspection, everyone can discover their true g

I think airlines actually face a lot of liability around the transport of unaccompanied minors--what if they lost the kid? The few times I traveled unaccompanied as a minor, the flight attendants were always checking in on me, knew my itine

okay, that's just an idiosyncratic requirement. i don't ask that anyone do that for any of the cultures i'm from, nor does anybody that i know. hell, i haven't even read my own culture's classic literature!

I think I default more to guess culture? I certainly don't ask for help much--almost never--but I think that might be because I'm very independent. My personal problem with ask culture is when the relationship becomes very asymmet

Can you please describe a kind of engagement with Asian culture or products that you will not dismiss as orientalism? I fear that everything will fit neatly into Asian hate or orientalism in your taxonomy. Americans love Asian cars. Tons of

The concern is not data collection. The concern is demoralizing content.

You don't necessarily need to take in fresh air to freshen air in certain ways. It might suffice to pass it though a good filter.

If it's pretty cold outside, then you're throwing all of the ostensible energy savings of a heat pump out the window the minute you open it to air out the house. Following the thread of conversation, it just didn't compute to

Not to be snarky, but if the weather outdoors is uncomfortable enough to be using climate control, why would I want to open the window?
