But that's just it though - if bad actors gain control, you lose the ability to reject OAuth creds (which is what OpenID is). Things like social engineering or phishing of credenti…

I haven't dived into the specs, but how does solid solve bad actors getting access to your pod? Usually today your data is fragmented across platforms (so damage is reduced) which …

If ethereum ever achieved adoption even close to a fraction of what stock trading has, then you'd have the same problems and overhead. As it stands, the apples to apples comparison…

> wuhan lab theory... calling for increased land/property taxes I feel like these are probably on two different levels, but given that you called it a theory and not a conspiracy, …

It used to be Reddit would let users block trolls, and then the user would never have to deal with seeing the troll posts ever again, even if they continued to reply. The new way -…

That article is about a tech-illiterate governor using his station to threaten prosecution of the press... for discussing a 10-yr old bug that's already well known publicly. If any…

What makes you think you were banned from Adsense for saying something that common?

Eh, if only people were never bad actors and only used drones for that. I was at a soap box derby a couple weeks back and they had to pause the entire event for fifteen minutes bec…

>Would there be an audible hum in the video it records from the 4x propellers? In the post-tiktok era, it's not that big of an issue. Most videos will have easily added audio overl…

I still think Metaverse was a branding/distraction strategy from taking a bath financially. The lack of substance is telling.

Shrinking float and lowering the cost of capital is still better than sitting on a pile of excess cash. Buybacks are a valid tactic in corporate finance.

Please cite how you can't criticize Saudi families on Twitter.

Isn't that the problem though? That someone in a mall kiosk is more skilled and authorized to fix a phone than an entire Apple store full of Apple geniuses? Edit: Apple Authorized …

Third. NVidia drivers were the bane of my existence for a while, and became such a time suck when I wanted to be doing other things.

So because a couple people you worked happened to be wealthy and you didn't like them, we should throw out protecting IP with copyright law everywhere?

Short of anyone here working at Nintendo, we have no insight into what the bar is for release, the LOE to fix graphical bugs, or any of the challenges they face between platforms.

Which is pretty typical of a release process that requires updating and testing software on platforms that are ~30 years apart.

Right, and your lack of empathy is likely due to survivor bias, having never seen or put significant resources into developing IP yourself. That's the world we all live in, you alo…

No you're right, but a lifetime license to software on all platforms is a losing proposition for any company, since there are non-trivial costs to re-releasing on new technology. A…
