FTR I don't necessarily believe that designing better arms is inherently unethical. But if one did, this is why your counterargument wouldn't make sense: Knife sales are close to zero-sum, but Palantir is innovating with its letha

I succeeded with opening an issue and getting something to be supported in browsers (although I think it's not yet in the standard). It was a very small and fairly uncontraversial tweak which was easy to specify, implement, and test, t

This is not a compelling argument that 2FA is reduced to 1FA. You need either: something you have (phone) and something you are (face), OR something you have (phone) and something you know (passcode). In either case, there are still two fac

The designer's syntax decisions tell you a lot about their semantic decisions, which languages they take inspiration from, and the language's philosophy about things like flexibility, correctness, and opinionatedness.

Three/four finger swipe is unbearably slow for me. I'm ready to interact with 0.3s but then I have to watch the image slide the last 10 pixels for another 0.3s before focus switches (and if I use the keyboard before it's fi

My problem with curl|bash is not that the script might be malicious - the software I'm installing could equally be malicious. It's that it may be written incompetently, or just not with users like me in mind, and so the installati

I feel like debates about AI and plagiarism are quite surface-level definitional debates. They miss out an important discussion of why we believe (old-fashioned) plagiarism is bad. Answers about when using AI is acceptable should be based

I don't think a HALO is anti-competitive if the IP licence is non-exclusive as TFA says. The only exclusivity involved is that only (really) one company can hire a given team, but hiring is already exclusive in nature, and not consider

I think you mean structural typing; nominal typing is the opposite, where field names are lexically scoped. Anyway, row polymorphism can technically be used with nominal typing, it's just that it usually makes sense to use structural t

Maybe building a heat exchanger in a river requires loads of environmental / planning permits, but just producing millions of gallons of (warm) "sewage" doesn't, because it's already allowed?

Relatedly, all Google apps (e.g. Maps) on iOS try very hard to push Chrome on you (even though iOS Chrome still has to use WebKit). When you click an external link, they present you the options of Chrome, Google (the search app), or Safari.

If NSA and only NSA can crack a particular system, they probably wouldn't mind using it for their own secrets. And anyway why is there any reason to believe they really do use the system they say they use?
