The problem in less dense areas will always be the last-mile problem. You can implement park-and-ride schemes with ample parking at transit stations, but then what do people do at the destination station? They're still 5-10 miles from their job, and they left their car at the station closest to their house (which still might have been a 5-10 mile drive, or more).

If I can drive 60 minutes to go 20 miles door-to-door home-to-work (basically what my dad used to do from Ellicott City to Silver Spring every day), but it takes me 2+ hours to drive to transit, park, wait for transit, take transit, transfer to a bus, etc., then I'm probably just going to buckle down and drive. And of course that wasn't even an option for my dad since the Metro didn't go far enough north, but I imagine this scenario comes up a lot for people who live closer to DC.

You even see this in the Bay Area, though the distances can be short enough for workarounds. Before electric scooters were the fad they are now, a friend of mine bought a 35mph folding one so he could ride to the 22nd St Caltrain in SF, take the train to Santa Clara, and ride his scooter from there to work, and stash it under his desk to charge. If he can catch the bullet train, the total commute can be a little over an hour and a half, which is at worst comparable to some of the drive times, and at best a bit shorter. (Ultimately, he still often drives for flexibility, but has to leave by 6am to avoid the worst of the morning traffic.)

In SF itself, the issue is the abysmal slowness of the Muni buses. When I lived near Alamo Square, my commute was less than 3 miles, but could take 40 minutes by bus (even with home and work within a few blocks of bus stops), if I timed it perfectly and didn't have to wait 10 minutes for the bus. And that 40 minutes is effectively wasted; I can't sleep in another 40 minutes and expect to work on the bus because it's just not the right environment for that. Muni gives time scales that look like commuter rail, but over much shorter distances and with much less comfort than commuter rail. Also a kicker: I could do that walk in a little over 50 minutes.

I think recycling is overrated. Even with very high compliance it wouldn't make a dent in carbon emissions. Transport, heating/cooling and farming constitute the majority of carbon emissions. At worst I think recycling is a costly distraction from more important measures.

> It doesn’t matter that they aren’t in the same repo, the minute one part of the app expects another to behave in a certain way there is a dependency regardless if that is expressed in code or not.

There's very little of this in this type of architecture. The dependencies are mostly "how do I deep link from one to the other" (which is generally kept to a minimum if you split the apps correctly), and a bit of "I called an api that stored data that another app will retrieve), but if you were planning on using something like a GraphQL schema on the BE, its not very different from having a public API used by a lot of integrators.

You still reduce build time, the amount of code someone has to wrap their head around to fully understand a given app, how dev tools scale, how deployment works, how long it takes to rewrite a section of the greater system from scratch, how easy it is to upgrade libraries, etc.

In general, until we have open source handset hardware to work with, all fine-tuned sensors and clock hardware support will be bad. This is a problem Linux had for a long time, and it took a ton of effort to partially solve the problem. It seems a bit unfair to blame AOSP for not having drivers for specific hardware, that's not it's function.

The big contribution of Purism phones is that more open hardware. After that, the real question we should ask is, "What software platform can offer us the greatest values in the multi-dimensional optimization problem we face?"

It's true though that you wouldn't just flash AOSP. But it's also true that dismissing Graphene BECAUSE it is based on AOSP is unfair.

The decision to no longer have political cartoons reminds me of something from earlier days. Someone at the multinational I worked at did a prod a deployment and it went pretty badly.

Pocket replaced Reading List, which was all of those things.

Pocket was a third party when Mozilla integrated the service into Firefox. Mozilla employees denied for months that Mozilla took money for the integration. It came out later that Mozilla took money for referrals.

Pocket doesn't follow Mozilla's privacy principles.[1] Despite that, the Pocket website says "as a member of the Firefox family, privacy is paramount."[2]

Mozilla committed to make Pocket open source over 2 years ago. There are no longer plans to release the server-side code.[3]

It's a big deal to some people because they trusted Mozilla and vouched for Mozilla to other people. My parents understood "even Mozilla can't see your bookmarks". Explaining that Mozilla could see the new kind but not the old kind was harder.

The real reason this isn't available to most relates to today's DDoS supporting Internet.

Today everyone has to use a CDN to even try to defend against such attacks; and all they do is bulk filter the attack out while degrading the end user transparency of the service. Under 'load' some websites have to load an active filter page and execute code on the clients to authenticate that it's a valid client, rather than an attacker.

The proper solution is to identify compromised devices and isolate them from the Internet. For hosts under attack to use a side channel to the ISPs routing the packets to ask them: "Please do not send anything from X to me for a bit; unless they satisfy to you that a user is in control." The request should be 'signed' by an end user key, authenticated by their ISP, and filtering should begin at the edge of that ISP. If they feel it necessary, they too can send a request to their ISP. Until this escalates to the backbones. Then it can press further back, down to the compromised node. That would allow infected end users to be quarantined, informed, allowed to download security updates and some other limited website interactions (manufacturer websites for updated firmware, some after-market firmware sites/tool sites like OpenWRT/DD-WRT/Linux distros, etc).

Fix the DDoS issue, also fix the home upload bandwidth issue, and you too can host your own family photos/videos.

from my humble experience if you have a sales or product team keeps pumping out spreadsheets in weird formats you need someone dedicating a few hours to get a proper etl, and if they are constantly changing the format or adding new things you need a dedicate person just for that.

I see both sides also, I think its probably not good for society to be able to amass huge amounts of debt, I think the ability to get large mortgages is part of why housing prices are so astronomical.

There've been several such prominent open source handheld projects in the last 20 years. PostmarketOS seems the most viable, IMHO, because it emphasizes the old Linux (and GNU) principles of getting working on lots of available hardware, with true open source, mainlined. (Separately, it also potentially builds on a wealth of GNU/Linux stuff that there's no good reason shouldn't have a lot of commonality between desktop and handheld.)
>So in order to get that is more secure and more independent from Google I have to buy a Google phone?

Given the office makeup others have described (small startups and freelancers), and the networking events, it might give them an opportunity to convince their neighbors to host with them. Probably not entirely worth it, but if you need office space anyway, that is a slight marketing advantage.

The whole point here is that you don't. You have dozens or hundreds of separate apps. They can use whatever framework they want. If you want to migrate framework, you just rewrite them from scratch, without any impact to another. It solves your current problem by making it a non-issue.

Consistency comes from the design system and style guide. If you have 2 frameworks, you have to start by having multiple implementation of the style guide. As long as the implementations are accurate, the look and feel of the apps will be the same even if they use different implementations. It has to be done well though.

As for Angular 1.x/React, the solution Ive used in the past in environment that didn't have micro apps was to build tools that let me React.render arbitrary react components inside of any Angular directive, and build a React component that let me render arbitrary angular directive anywhere, so I could migrate part of apps starting at any point without affecting the rest. I unfortunately don't have the code anymore, but it wasn't very hard to do.

I agree -- in fact, I'd argue that attacking the problems of social media through the lens of antitrust will result in a far worse outcome than directly addressing the problem head on that these companies have created a privately owned, global public square. The laws need to be updated to reflect the novel realities of the emergence of these platforms, which was likely an inevitability given the arc of the development of the Internet/web, and not something our forefathers could have forecasted when writing applicable laws and regulation around speech.

> relevant to a small scale user trying to make a name for themselves.

If you're small trying to become big, expending resources in trying to duplicate what Youtube or Medium does is often contrary to becoming big.

Mr. UnknownNobody hosting his own videos and writings at "www.unknownnobody.com" and charging a fee for access (as Blanda recommends) will severely limit his audience.

Blanda's simplistic advice only speaks in terms of the platform ownership. The more complex advice (but also more realistic) is that one can use others' platforms to build an audience so that he/she will eventually be in a position (recognition+money) to self-host a platform if that option makes sense.

E.g. There's nothing wrong with using Youtube to become a minor "youtube celebrity" and using that to launch into other non-Youtube things. (Patreon, real life concerts, etc.) Eventually, you may not need Youtube anymore. On the other hand, self-hosting videos with all the extra effort & expense may not be the best strategic use of time or money. Justin Bieber was discovered on Youtube in 2007. He becomes famous beyond Youtube. (Concert tours and tv.) In 2019, does he now own his own video server platform to stream his music videos? No. He still uses Youtube.

A lot of successful people don't own their own content distribution platform. They don't need to. Small scale users can learn from them to balance the tradeoffs. The "own your own platform" should not be an absolute goal. Instead, it should only be an optional strategy to further other big picture objectives.

>The posts went to Twitter and Medium because they're the relevant platforms du jour

If you read Blanda's website of advice, he wants to make those websites not relevant. ("RSS...blogs...original dream of the web") Therefore, Bezos shouldn't have posted his content there. (Notice that Blanda used example of VC capitalist Fred Wilson choosing not to post his content to Medium.) Bezos' response on Medium caused a media stir and it added more value to Medium. Blanda is advising people not to do that.

>I honestly doubt Bezos even gave a single thought to the finer points discussed here.

You really think he didn't seriously consider the ramifications of where to post his very public response to embarrassing penis photos? On the contrary, I think he, his lawyers, and his public relations team gave it a lot of thought. Maybe his lawyers and pr people made other suggestions and he overrode them but I think we can be confident he thought about the mechanics of readership of Medium. He cares about the perception of his message. It would've given a bad look to use his Washington Post (even though he owns it) as the vehicle for his personal counterattack.
Above you mentioned setting this up as a scheduled job. In this case the job would need to run as root (or you'd need to assign the appropriate permissions in the sudoers file, but people are lazy). If a non-root user had write privileges to the file, they could modify the script and thereby gain root code execution.

Naturally it's on the user to properly configure the permissions.

I'm not saying this isn't a worthy project, I'm just adding to the discussion on why people should be cautious when running scripts with root permissions.

Force-feeding hunger strikers is the opposite of "moral high ground." If you're a jailer, and a prisoner dies in your care, then there may be questions asked, there may be accountability. You don't want that. As long as you can keep them more or less alive, it's a lot easier to piously claim the moral high ground while doing basically whatever you want to them.
