The web has walked a tightrope for the past two decades. Like a car that's accelerated to 300 miles per hour, there's an alternate reality where the road keeps going straight and doesn't crash. But, its unlikely, and I'm

Yes, I believe that's what happened here. Very poor decision by the mods; the Google/Apple ones make sense to merge, but the AWS one is a very different issue, and could have a far more interesting technical discussion about migra

It'll probably still be very difficult to find physically, as it only had one limited release and that sold out almost instantly. Fortunately, if you're not interested in the digital PS4 copy, you can purchase a DRM free download

Game consoles are the exact reason why I included the line about "at some values of scope and scale". I do feel they're an interesting analogue; they sell hundreds of millions of units, the scale is there, but why do I, if no

I think the critical component to this conversation that its important to stay focused on is not Apple's removal of Parler, but their continued insistence on maintaining exclusive control over what people install on their devices. Appl

Well, if you're a corporation with dozens/hundreds of designers, who did a great job of building an extensible design system, and now any engineer can just take that design system and roll with it, what are you going to do? Fire a

Discord gives every user an identity that is persistent beyond the server; you have a Discord account, not a server account. Slack does the opposite. Enterprises would hate Discord's model, as they prefer to control the entire identity

Discord is definitely in the same realm of scale as Slack, and probably bigger (they publish different metrics, so its hard to say for sure). The really impressive thing about Discord's scale is the size of their subscriber pools in th

Its especially strange when you think about how unoriginal Slack's product domain is, and how comparable, and in some cases small, their userbase is. * iMessage, which likely handles something in the range of 750M-1B monthly actives. *

And it is thus important to recognize that our cultural perception of book banning, book burning, etc as a bad thing isn't something intrinsic to humans, and its not something we got for free. It took years of effort from major authors

While some people would blame it on Nintendo producing products people want, I think its a little more cultural than that: Nintendo, as a company, deeply fails to understand Western culture. Because of this decades-long misunderstanding, th

I really haven't seen any card that has better net reward generation than Discover, if you want a "one card for maximum rewards". You can definitely earn more if you juggle cards, but the base discover card is really quite go

I feel that browsers should implement a permissions grant pop-up for when a site attempts to set a cookie with SameSite=none, and the cookie api can be extended to enable explanations to be given by the developer.

I can't speak for why Herman Li, or any other musician, would be banned for DMCA. But, its my understanding that Twitch pays for a live performance license from the major music publishers to enable musicians to stream on their platform

Yes, unfortunately; the Chromecast audio is among my favorite products Google has ever made. I was happy to see Amazon produce something similar in the Echo Link, and I've thought about "migrating my Home" to Amazon/Echo

Yeah its weird that Texas is "different" in this regard? The process is the same even in other states; I've never seen a Tesla store with a stock of cars just there on-site ready to buy that day, you always order online (or,

Frankly, I've owned several in-ear products from various companies (Shure, Sony, Bose, UE), and none of them hit the sound quality of the Airpods Pro. None of them. Maybe once you get in to $400+ IEMs, but I'm not spending that

Have you seen Parks & Rec, and remember that scene in a Home Depot where an associate walks up to Ron, asks him if he needs help with a project, and Ron responds "I know more than you"? I've pulled a variation of that on

They're already binning the M1 between the two models of the Macbook Air; one has a 7 core GPU, the other has an 8 core. They haven't outright said this is due to binning, but it seems very likely. Will probably be similar for upp

I agree; If an aluminum case were designed to integrate with built-in heatsink, thermals should be improved enough with no downside to noise level. Their decision to opt for plastic in the first party case makes total sense from a manufactu

The wording and language in that blog post is absolutely wild. Its demonstrably and undeniably better to have access to smaller virtualized Mac instances, or per-hour/per-second billing, or general use. Undeniably. There is literal
