I find the ethics of farming to be very difficult to live with. I've been vegetarian now for long enough that I don't have any desire to eat meat and I am fairly grossed out by it.…

As developers, I've come to believe that complexity is the worst sin we commit. Everything we talk about can be traced back to this issue. This is largely due to paying attention t…

I believe that in the past you could move residences for free, but there was a time delay. Isn't this so you can move frequently/often? Eg. On a boat or in an RV?

This is awesome. I've been waiting for this. I've been waiting to experiment with doing the Camper-RV nomad life while working / travelling and climbing.

Am Canadian. This isn't something I've ever heard and smells like FUD by people who have never been through the Canadian healthcare system. The system has room for improvement, but…

I feel like this is the opposite of what you are claiming you want. The common git workflow would be the thing you expect people to know off the top of their head. The uncommon les…

"Hey Siri, accuse me of something that will ruin my life and reputation even if I'm not guilty".

The easiest example I've heard is kinda gross and rude, but effective. "You take a crap with the door closed, not because I don't know what you're doing in there, but because you d…

Agreed. I bought a pine phone when they announced it. Looking forward to leaning into it when it arrives. I know there will be some pain, but I'm getting off the ride here.

Would you take the 10 year version of that bet? I'm less interested in the actual bet. I'm more interested in trying to understand if we both think this system will eventually be a…

Yeah - fair point. I've over stated my position. I'll re-commit to "most" people criticizing. I will restate that regardless of the poor taste, it doesn't change the points validit…

It's not telling at all. Not a single person arguing against this idea is being obtuse or insensitive to the very real problem of CSAM. This is why you are getting the eye roll ind…

But it doesn't happen over night. The cracks are forming though. Duckduckgo.com is now at 93,533,476 searches daily. My non-technical brother just purchased a 3 year Fastmail accou…

I dunno. Isn't this how Chrome became so popular, and Firefox before that? "We" are the people that support, recommend and install this stuff. Hardware just has longer life cycles.…

I think the main issue is just that Pandora's box is now open. Once you make this move, you can't go backwards. If you'll indulge me, would you bet $1000 that this style of scannin…

I don't see it. Clearly our motivations are misaligned. I'm not confident you can sell me on the idea that this will get people to trust them more, and therefore buy more apple stu…

They previously said they couldn't comply. Now they will have to say they won't comply.

I dunno man. I think I can see the issue pretty clearly here. - Real harm is enabled with encryption. I get it. - Back doors break encryption for everyone and don't stop encryption…

This is a good point. I do believe we should be skeptical of these companies stated positions unless we can see a profit motive. The previous stance that Apple said they had was "w…

It is remarkable that Tim so clearly understood the problem in 2016. With that one post, Apple and Tim earned trust from a group of people that trust very few. And in an instance, …

I mean this genuinely. Didn't we learn with Snowden why this argument isn't valid? The government does break these laws to get what they want AND they silence the people that they …
