Well, HTML was supposed to be a generic language to describe typical documents. Most websites don't need more than the default elements. From an outside perspective, it is perplexing to see the constant back and forth webdevs do betwee

Old people in Japan went through the deprivation of post-war Japan. Not all boomers were raised the same. It is harder for someone who has known famine to accept it is ok to throw food away for fun. US grandparents think you can buy a house

The thing that makes Wikipedia great is that it is not a profit seeking-entity. It made it avoid all the incentives for shitification.

We need efficiency when we want to maximize comfort and minimize labor. But nothing forbids people to pursue less efficient endeavors during their free time. There are people maintaining old cars and locomotive. There are people gardening o

What has gone wrong is that AI researchers and futurologists have warned for decades that AIs replacing jobs was coming (though everybody was taken by surprise that artists would be first) and that we needed to change our paradigms about la

Give me open source dev tools for the iPhone and I'll jump. While it is a closed garden, I'll begrudgingly accept it can be marginally better in some fields than other options, but Apple tries very hard to be a proprietary island

Usually CE regulations do not care if you hired an auditor or not. They only care about the regulations being obeyed. My understanding is that warning the users of the level of security they can expect, and handling security flaws reasonabl

CE is typically obligation of result, not obligation of effort. Do you have source on products that can't be self-assessed?
