Jeff Atwood (stack overflow and discourse cofounder) seems pretty cool for someone who made a shitton of money in tech. Everyone I know who’s met him says he’s a nice and normal human being, and he’s currently funding a UBI program as well as giving copiously to high-quality charities.

Maybe Kobo will finally make an API for loading articles so we can send them from Instapaper/Raindrop/Pinboard/etc…

Until they actually publish the policy, who knows, right? Just because that was the “high risk” list last time doesn’t mean that the new FDA won’t declare that the only risk factor is having a golf handicap above 3…

This appears to be the relevant place to leave feedback, FWIW. I posted a comment this morning!

Poor Visual J# (literal Microsoft Java) isn’t even in the picture

This seems like a big usability cost. I wonder how long it’ll be before someone introduces an extension to re-add functional visited links (slowly and in JavaScript with some big unprotected IndexedDB instance)…

Focusing on airbag-deployments and injuries ignores the obvious problem: these things are unbelievably unsafe for pedestrians and bicyclists. I curse SF for allowing AVs and always give them a wide berth because there’s no way to know if they see you and they’ll often behave erratically and unpredictably in crosswalks. I don’t give a shit how often the passengers are injured, I care a lot more how much they disrupt life for all the people who aren’t paying Waymo for the privilege.

The companies that run these residential proxy networks are sketchy as shit and in a better world would be criminally prosecuted. They’re tricking random low-information users into installing VPNs and other software with backdoors that turn them into a veritable botnet.

Part of me wonders whether the whole thing is just a set up so Trump can look good for shutting them down…
