If I wanted to provide a similar experience, targeting a different narrative, and then worked to create my own safe platform, would you disagree with that? "Ignoring" is just choic…

Shouldn't I get to decide what I ignore?

Works the same way with government. The "I am not aware of ..." is a great trick for when your organization is intentionally silod. The folks who get subpoenaed are left out of det…

This. Makes everything so smooth. Serverless cloud providers love it too. (Cloudflare Pages, etc.)

That was my experience too. There is/was no formal standard for creating themes, just an empty dir (which they consider a feature). Even if they had one or two "official themes" th…

In the U.S. we used to collect palm/foot prints on every child within a few days of birth. Newborn fingerprints are difficult to collect, as skin is very delicate. Now we require D…

This is the worst thing about Signal, IMO. I want to use old phones as backup communication devices (wifi) but can't natively use the software that way.

Authenticator apps, and SMS help them derive you have identity -- which is more secure for them and you. Hardware token via WebAuthn (etc) is only more secure for you. When they sa…

Just technically it makes no sense. WebAuthn is a great technology that addresses many privacy concerns, but once they had an excuse collecting phone numbers they don't want to sto…

Sorry you're so glum. Buy a Tesla. It'll put a smile on your face. -Space access is leading the world. Satellites bring freedom, access, and peace. -Cars are the safest, fastest, a…

The next step is a social media company that is (1) private (2) membership based (3) no reliance on huge ad contracts, just promoted content (4) can tell the difference between pol…

> let's you see most (all?) of it. Who really knows any more. A couple years ago Apple prohibited kernel level firewalls (for security) and rolled out their ContentFilterExclusionL…

It's a game, one I don't play, but if you ruin kid fun of course you'll get eyerolls... regardless of your background. My recovery is just to own it, and say that I may not believe…

Similar here. When they were two we explained that Santa was as real as Mickey Mouse. They got it immediately. They know the mouse stands for something, and so does Santa. We have …

Colocation provider will bring the circuits to provide best-path connectivity based on packet destination. There shouldn't be an additional charge for this. They are incentivized t…

> -30,000 feet per minute Isn't that 548km/h (340mph) and faster than terminal velocity? Nose would be pointed down.

Will "stop you from wearing a mask"? Doubt it. That's assault. Or "stop you if you try to enter while wearing a mask"? Or are you talking about wearing a ski mask inside Idaho Regi…

> I typically get a "it just is" response. I doubt that. I couldn't STOP hearing the arguments last year. Not trying to be 'smart', but just believe a minimal effort to understand …

The article confirmed my knowledge. Around here if the eggs are washed and sanitized then you refrigerate them out of caution. Last year we got a flock of chickens. They are happy,…

Bad idea for patents. The public is vastly benefitted by patent expiration. It's also why we can have generic drugs, etc. Now, exponential cost curve for _copyrights_ is interestin…

The U.S. had a president not too long ago who tried to shake things up. Ended up giving the patent office truckloads of cash, considered it "job creation". Goal was to improve effi…

Don't U.S. states all already do this immediately after birth? https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18945-do-you-care-wha... https://www.healthnutnews.com/cbs-dna-from-newborn-bl…

There are a lot of very busy bees out there right now looking to change that. YouTube provides easy, great advertising revenue. But as individual channels develop their subscriber …

Certainly. The Constitution is a guide to what the visionary founders had in their mind for the new nation. It shouldn't be law directly, but a light to help citizens realize what …
