Cancel culture is just a symptom. As I see it, the Internet has created two problems: (1) Everyone now has a voice -- yeah that's cool but society isn't handling it too well yet (2) It's now easy to associate with people who

I once worked at a place that self hosted a lot and they had fail-over, backups and restores dialed in If something like Git went down — which it never — it was a few clicks away from coming back Working with competent people is a blast

I always thought that iPhones weren’t more efficient — they just dropped a major feature: running background apps. I remember being able to run Ubuntu in the background on an unrooted Android phone while browsing the Internet. You can’t do

Personally I don’t think it’s actually secrecy. I think it’s that you’re asking the wrong person most of the time. From my experience, a lot of the times it’s just a few people who really are deciding and everyone else is just part of the m

Idk I used to run some big projects and I just told people straight up that I’d love to add or fix that but that I don’t have time Some people still idolized the hell out of me

Is the line of death actually a thing? I thought that users just trust everything that's on the screen tbh A "line of death" sounds like something only technical users would notice

I think the only (and easiest) way to fix this is with centralized government identity infrastructure. Right now every agency has to spend some of their budget to verify identity instead of relying on someone whose main job is that. But I t

Does Finland have good digital identity? The US doesn’t (although by choice) and trying to prevent fraud without identity infrastructure seems hard.

Personally I find the solution is to meet and hang out with very diverse crowds. I find that whenever you make a decision, you are really sampling from what you’ve already seen. If haven’t seen a lot, your decision making is really constrai

IMO the only reason we (Americans) fetishize Japanese culture is because we know about it. That’s all. They export their culture better than most other countries (and not necessarily intentionally). People fetishize American culture in oth

Well it depends on your exposed viral load Having anti-bodies reduces the viral load in your body, which also means that there are fewer viral fragments exiting your body The policies are to reduce spread, not eliminate it

I see this incorrect fact a lot and I think people confuse energy density with energy efficiency. Every joule of electricity will give you more joules of heat than will gas. The issue is moving and storing around a joule of electricity is m

SDR doesn’t require that much power But there’s a lot of moving parts and it’s kind of the last thing you want to deal with in an emergency

I think waaay too many people are unknowingly hanging around other people they like too much and it causes their circle to double down on crazy.

I wouldn’t call React a framework personally. To me it’s a library like moment.js or ramda.

Hiring then would have been outright punishment. America is more about everyone being self sufficient and most importantly, being a good trading partner. We think free trade is essential to prosperity. Remember that America spent billions o

The quality of the power grid seems to vary a lot in the country. I live in California and I have had maybe 2 blackouts in 15 years? For maybe 3 hours? Granted, my electricity bill is kind of high.

I know people don’t like having people in landscape photos, but it mitigates this problem a lot.

The grid actually does route around failures. Load is simply distributed among the working parts of the grid. However the issue is that the grid doesn’t cut off a part of itself for the sake of survival. I think the issue is: at some point

IMO the real reason why Java never took off on the desktop is because making a cross platform Java app is pretty easy but distributing a cross Java platform app is super hard. There’s all these situations that you have to account for, there

I can type 120 WPM on QWERTY but the only time I ever need to actually type that fast is for a typing test (and maybe copywriting). The real productivity improvement is knowing the right tools and how and when to use them IMO. That’s the bi

Putin’s decision could make sense if he just got into power and got handed this situation. But he’s been in power for a long time. He created the situation that he is in. Other countries don’t trust Russia and want to join the other side. T

While I support companies having bug bounty programs, I also can’t justify why a company must be obligated to provide a bug bounty program. It’s like obligating companies to have a user feedback program.

Have you actually tried to grow stuff? I grow a lot of stuff and have for years and it’s an excessive amount of labor, you only get certain food during certain times of the year, sometimes for only for a few weeks, and that’s assuming you d

Yeah but people complain about all sorts of stuff. We haven’t gotten rid of the subsidies yet. Although in this scenario, we could subsidize oil to Hawaii. I don’t know how that could be sold but everyone already benefits from subsidies so

Plenty of things become super hard to find after no one cares about it anymore. High profile cases aren’t like that but most things are not high profile. Just because you can’t make something 100% perfect doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Loc

I think the issue is that Microsoft only targeted enterprise users and never tried that hard to make their mobile platform for consumers. Because I remember having a Windows Mobile device and it was fairly powerful. You could do more on it

I think a more exact description is: On social media groups and public posts, you are named but you are nobody to everyone else. On forums, you are unnamed but you gather a reputation and become somebody. (And on HN and Reddit, you are both
