Not sure what to make of this. It was an engaging read but the thrust of it seems to be that people are superficial and judge others by their appearance. No shit?

Google may or may not lose users to Brave but on the macro level it won't be because of a niche protocol that most non-technical people associate with child porn and darknet drug markets, if they have heard of it at all.

It seems you can game it the same way you can game HN karma; by saying odious things not directly but in passive-aggresive language. For example, I asked if I was the asshole for politely but firmly reminding my wife that it's her resp

Neat, thanks for sharing. My main feedback is that it subjectively looks and feels very much like the SEO blogspam you get at the top of every google search these days. It's hard to put my finger on exactly what, but it feels visually

Eh, I think the adaptor thing is overblown. I use one at my desk because I want Ethernet and I use an external monitor, but when I take my laptop on the go I never bring dongles because I truthfully don't need them.

We do in fact have an affordability crisis in Canada. I bought a home in a small town outside Toronto (too far to be a commuter town) in 2017 for $425000, and sold it in 2020. We're friends with the people that bought it from us and o

Maybe when System76 starts manufacturing their own systems I'll be interested. I don't want a rebranded Clevo.

Vertical integration; not a new concept historically speaking but perhaps new in the tech/bay area bubble.

I was under the impression that the consensus is the primary threat to American aircraft carriers is not submarines but supersonic cruise missiles.

Yes they are; I think their mission is more important now than ever. The same cannot be said for RMS however. His computing habits are so far detached from the reality of 99.9% of users that I feel he's become a caricature of himself,

Just about anyone would be better. Free Software is first and foremost a political movement. It would be better to have someone at the helm who isn't totally inept at navigating media and politics.

No, the Free Software Foundation has decided that the best person to be the public face of the movement, the best person to represent Free Software, is a walking media shitstorm known to creep on women and actively drive them away from part

Ah, but you'd have to error on any even power, since of course a negative squared is positive, thus -v^2 would be v^2 and without the dash you can't be sure it's a switch.

I mean I guess if "leave all messaging to corporate walled gardens" sounds like a good idea to you, then okay. I think email is fantastic.

by na85 5y ago
Exactly. "Did this email originate at $server" is what DKIM and SPF are meant to solve and IME they work well. Setting them up is not particularly difficult and there is a wealth of open documentation about it.

Society's risk tolerance varies with domain. Electrical power systems are well understood and thus we expect them to be as safe as practical. Contrast that to the reaction to Tesla's autopilot that will happily drive you into an e
