Who would have owned the centralization? I always thought that one of the lovely parts of the WWW was that anyone could have a part of it in theory, even if it was easier to let so…

> My 1983 home had been used as a rental for years, so much of the maintenance had been neglected. This quote is ironically a weighty argument for why living in a rental sucks, eve…

Why would you even imply something like that?

I love that this is a native mac app. Thanks for building this, and thanks for sharing.

I was genuinely really surprised at how easy it was to fit tea in instead. I have a cup of decaf once in a while, or a cup of normal coffee once in a while, but I kinda just wake u…

I had wild food poisoning and had a similar experience (took me out for weeks, didn’t drink coffee). I assume the body must have some sort of gating mechanism for pain; I have abso…

They aren’t “firing back.” Per the article, they’re rigging homes with explosives and detonating them.

This kind of feels like the same thing in which people talk more about the cameras they have instead of the photos they make, or the modular synth they built instead of the album t…

I’ve never had a post hit me with nostalgia as hard as this one. Thanks to the author for capturing what it felt like to be a stupid little kid with a weird old computer so well.

Besides the technical constraints (the zip code can't always tell you the city, etc), the zip code is more of a checksum to make sure the address you typed makes sense. I think you…

I think it's the job, not the person. All sorts of people work at the TSA; clearly it's endemic to the TSA, not to the people who work there.

I think they claim that if your computer has bad hardware, you're probably sending a lot of _additional_ crashes to their telemetry system. Your hardware might be working just fine…

Surely you must know what a watershed is.

I read this a bit ago and really enjoying it! It felt like it did justice to the effort that people wouldn't appreciate otherwise.

In the app, you can swipe backwards in time and see the reports and data for yesterday.

I have always had a ton of respect for the Dark Sky devs. I love the work that goes into designing interfaces that make sense of complex datasets intuitively, and I feel like Dark …

I don’t think these ends justify the means. It sounds like the government failed early on in what seemed like a benign infraction, and now it is deciding to punish him for it. That…

I came in here looking for this thread specifically (I can't imagine moving off of Ableton). Thanks for taking a sec to write this up! I might give it a try, just for the synth alo…

I hear you, and I think it's also fucked up (as someone who lives in the US) that our climate success is so easily reversed by the whims of whoever is in power today. If it makes y…

Hey, I'm all for accounting for human error. But I don't think what we've been seeing in the news is not "hold on Mr. Robber, I need a warrant" (also, you don't need a warrant for …

> The ideal amount of mistakes is non-zero. Why? And separately, do you believe that people wrongly arrested in the US are being compensated accordingly? The justice system in the …

Genuine question: I’m someone who hates the centralization of data with companies like Flock. I also want safer streets. I have liked things like speed cameras and bus-mounted bus …

I think you don’t have to look far to find warrantless arrests or illegal detentions under the guise of “immigration enforcement.” I also think you’d be hard pressed to point to a …

I just bought my first medium format camera recently. I know others have mentioned Lomography's beautiful new 35mm point-and-shoot, and I so wish for a 6x7 rangefinder that's cheap…
