I’ve had it on since it was available, and it’s almost entirely invisible except for a higher rate of captchas, some banking applications re-requiring 2FA on log in from otherwise known devices, and Twitter missing caches for my auth state

Seems like an opportunity for businesses like Do Not Pay. I'd pay $2 for this, and it can't cost that much to print and mail paper. I'd even pay a recurring fee to handle these sorts of dark patterns systematically.

Can you cite some evidence? Ten years ago we were in the middle of the Arab Spring and the USA was in two different hot wars?

The market demand for making sanctioned transactions is quite small. For the average person, it’s basically nothing. For the prosumer, it might be drugs or prediction markets, and especially the latter is already legal in many jurisdictions

Well in fairness some Bitcoin holders are building vast factories of mining capacity, and their argument is the mining is spent on pro-social anti-authoritarian censorship-free wealth movement. Other Bitcoin holders are putting in a lot of

No it’s not? Rents are higher in New York than Paris or San Francisco. It’s hard to make the exact comparison because incomes are lower in Paris and San Francisco is a worse city, but New York’s affordable housing policy is 100% just the su

Are you suggesting public ownership of all land? How do you intend to police this and overcome the political economy of realtors, Biggerpockets, etc.? How would private single unit landowners improve upon modern building costs which are $80

Renters are, as a class, poorer than homeowners. Where’s the social justice in requiring one to be a homeowner to live in a single family home?

Modern fire codes are good enough that I’d be shocked if a code compliant new building with no windows is less safe than a pre-1960s building with windows.

For what it's worth, I think Vimeo doesn't have great authentication support. Most of the Patreons and Kickstarters which I know used it for distribution had a single word password to gate access to content.

Vimeo is losing money, but cost of revenue is only 26% of sales. This is an upper bound on hosting fees, since it also includes platform fees, card processing fees, building rents, and customer support.

Developing 3rd party frameworks is a meaningful expense. AOSP means Google made a business decision to incur that expense and sign away rights to it, but Apple hasn't.

And how would one scrupulously confirm that supporting a blockchain project is not supporting war criminals?

Safari on macOS is supported two major OSes releases back. The latest iOS is supported on iPhones launched in 2015 and later. How many users on older versions of Safari are limited by OS version?

Many quality startups nowadays offer early exercise (tax-free) and long exercise windows. In addition, in this scenario you're leaving because you don't believe in the equity.

The strongest case for startup equity as compensation is made by Ben Kuhn, in my opinion, and it amounts to: you can diversify your equity exposure in more companies than you could as an angel because (i) the best companies will want to hir

When people say trustworthy software installation is a “solved problem” on desktop, do you think they are referring to parental controls?

No you don’t need tracking for personalized ads. Apple defines tracking as sharing information about the user between distinct 3rd parties, while it personalizes ads based on your behavior within Apple’s own services.

Is that true? I still have to remove AltAdBrowser fairly often from my mother’s relatively new Dell laptop when I visit.

Doubly interesting because the root of the discussion was the claim that, “This means we will soon enough have a situation where a corporation controls the primary medium of communication of the citizens” yet the complaint is this corporati

If you’re referring to San Francisco, the city is on track to be sued under state law for that denial. It is also being investigated by the state for it.

Democracy is not prescriptive about who has a stake, and in fact the trend has been over time to broaden the definition of "voter" or "stakeholder".

iPhone was not announced as a One More Thing at Macworld 2007. It was a direct transition from the Apple TV segment.

It is quite an odd coalition. And to counter GP's insinuation, California and New York prosecute large industries in their jurisdictions all the time -- in fact, that's a criticism of those states which is popular in these parts!

Your comment is an unproductive dead end. You hint at consequences in a general way that can’t be engaged with. It could be the “significance” is arbitrary and unjust, like the disparate treatment this law fixed. Finally, “contracting HIV”

It’s not highly illogical. The law aligns with the modern experience of HIV treatment which is that it can be managed such that there is negligible risk of transmission. Furthermore, intentionally transmitting HIV is still illegal. Finally,
