Re:Ask HN: Why would a city on Mars avoid Armageddon? on Sunday November 28, 2021 @10:04AM (#29369400)
Exactly. This is why I am pro exploration but not colonization. At least not until we can terraform. Colonizing mars now would be a huge waste of resources.
Re:Perfect time for Apple to license the mac? on Sunday October 31, 2021 @09:18AM (#29056767)
I’m a datacenter tech. The amount of dongles and outdated drivers required for simple serial connections or vga connections wastes tons of time. Licensing out the M1 would allow for a company to make a MacBook like laptop with every port! Perfect for technicians.

Perfect time for Apple to license the mac?

Back in the 90's we had several mac clones - computers running mac hardware and mac os, yet not made by apple. do you think now that we have the M1 chip, there is any chance apple will license out the M1 to manufacturers? After all, they can't satisfy everyone with one model and system builders would be happy to have an M1 to play with. Only makes sense to me.

Just beings a devils advocate for a second - People exposing personal details to the public can be very bad and make them victims of untold numbers of what should be crimes. We know this from just the data and privacy nightmare unfolding before us. It's normal to romanticism the past, but there's a certain comfort in security with less of clear open blogs.

I see an opportunity here… in the days of multiterrabyte hard drives, why not make an extension that simply saves the HTML and images for every site you visit? Maybe not appropriate for a phone, but perhaps there could be an option to sync browser activity…

It’s a compromise. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. If we are to make life easier in some respect, we suffer in another. Over time we might find solutions which will only yield alternative compromises.

They do a lot of good bringing people together, but it’s a double edged sword with massive potential for abuse. It’s not up for debate that Facebook causes harm. The only question is how much is too much? At what point do we step in, tell them their mitigations are ineffective, and break up or regulate their systems?

Open to all of the above.

It's an experiment. Had the project for so long that I opened up to .edu as well because I'm not getting any users.

I think it would naturally become safe from being a cesspool because the ideal platform will force real identity.

This is my website I am working on. While not technologically advanced, it's basically MVP stage. Looking for anyone interested in trying it out.
