At least we'd have the choice to secure ourselves

From a product perspective, it seems like a big decision and discussion about it may be insightful to those building other products. From an engineering perspective, those who have…

Yep. This is the code that's causing it[1]: var now = Date.now()/1000; var dt = now - then; Adding this line fixes it: dt = dt > 1 ? 1 : dt; [1] https://github.com/grondilu/grondil…

This is a good overview. The formula described is basically the Drake equation[1] - I'm surprised that isn't mentioned (other than in the sources) considering it is the basis of th…
