So why didn't they?

Same question again. What in your opinion, is a bet that you can make right now, today, that will lead to another Amazon? Or maybe even something bigger?

I have a similar amount of capital as Bezos did free and ready to go to when he started Amazon, even inflation adjusted. I probably have a lot more power than he did at the same time since I am actually a manager of a few engineers which he was not.

Are you going to make that bet?

> The default OpenBSD install enables an extremely small amount of services by default, which is why they can claim that.

Probably this issue has been hashed out many times over the decades, but arguably the security gain isn't a fortunate or incidental benefit of minimizing default enabled services, nor a cheat like weighted dice, it's a very real benefit resulting from an effective, intentional technique. Maybe other OSes should do the same, and then everyone would have that benefit.

The other OSes have other priorities, and that's fine. Embrace that. Yes, most users (and developers) don't want to deal with the compatibility issues. But when you say OpenBSD has few default security holes because they have few default services, that's a complement.

Despite recording its most quarterly sales ever in the Q4 of 2023, Meta’s mixed-reality arm, Reality Labs, had an operating loss of more than $4.6 billion.

While Meta’s virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) research arm, Reality Labs, lost $4.65 billion in Q4, the company’s overall revenue was roughly $1.1 billion, according to figures announced on February 1st.

I set up seaweed on my home lab a few weeks ago and while it was a bit difficult to initially get everything configured it seems to work really well once I got it running. I’m using it with the CSI driver and have it incrementally backing up to s3 (I originally had it mirrored then realized for my use case I didn’t need to do that).

My one complaint is that I could not really get it to work with an S3 compatible api that wasn’t officially supported in the list of S3 backends, even though that should have been theoretically possible. I ended up picking a supported backend instead.
It's not that their absolute number is increasing, these people have always been around, they just weren't able to do much damage to things that weren't physically near them before.

The internet changed everything, it has given these people the power to effortlessly destroy things created by anyone, anywhere on earth, no matter where they are or how many resources they have. Making the internet so easily accessible was a massive mistake.

I used to visit Designer News daily, and became one of the mods. It was fun for a while, and surprisingly took more effort than I expected — I felt quite a lot of pressure to make the right decision when it came to downranking stories, banning users, etc.

Then, over time, it started to feel like the people higher up were less and less interested in the site, and no amount of moderation could fix some of the issues like the amount of spam.

I had a brief moment a couple of years ago where I went back to the site, cleaned up the spam and low quality posts I could find in the top few pages in the hope that it might kick off some kind of resurrection. It didn't, mainly because hardly anyone except spammers were posting to the site at that point.

One that always gets overlooked is Ron Silver playing himself in Heat Vision and Jack. It’s an unaired pilot for a spoof of 80s “man on the run” series like the Incredible Hulk. It starred Jack Black, Owen Wilson, Ron Silver, Christine Taylor, and Vincent Schiavelli, made by Rob Schrab and Dan Harmon, directed by Ben Stiller. Ron Silver is an assassin working for (evil) NASA to hunt down the smartest man on Earth (Jack Black) and his talking motorbike (Owen Wilson). However Ron Silver plays himself – the assassin stars in Hollywood films as a part-time hobby (when he isn’t murdering people).
Don't insurance companies have to make a maximum profit from insurance policies because of laws?
Many years ago I upped my liability coverage from $15k/$30k to $100k/$300k, and I was surprised how little it increased my premium. It was a few bucks a month. A no-brainer.

I’m starting to wonder if it’s time to go higher.
Most of this I do not disagree with this, but the fact that you do not even mention cuts in defense spending stands out to me. It may be "unrealistic", but then so are cuts to social security, medicare and medicaid.

Defense spending is not just a "pet peeve". We spend more on national defense than China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, Germany, France, South Korea, Japan, and Ukraine — combined. There is ample scope to reduce our defense spending by massive amounts without threatening our national security.
If someone injures you, and your insurance doesn't cover it, can't you sue them? If you do and they can't afford it, can you put them into debt? Seems reasonable rather than you going into debt for medical bills?

Envision an airline withholding safety records, a car manufacturer keeping crash test results private, a restaurant refusing to provide health inspection logs, or a government refusing to disclose details of its budget allocation — all claiming that transparency would only complicate matters and provide "more data for distrust".

I fully expect your mindset and behavior to never change (unless forced), but just wanted to point out that your argument against transparency is a cop-out and that you're on the wrong side of history here.

In “REVISIONS AND REVSETS”, you say “Revisions are the fundamental elements of changes in Jujutsu, not “commits” as in Git. But then you proceed to use “revision” and “commit” apparently interchangeably, and you don’t explain whether there is a difference.

You also lost me a bit on “change”. What is a change? If I modify a change, does it keep the same id? What if I send you a change and then modify it? At what point are changes immutable? What if I end up with two changes with the same id that aren’t the same change in my repo?

I see they've mastered the modern rhetorical technique of having a trillion in assets, billions in sales of this product, buildings filled with professional engineers, lots of bragging about the size of their engineering genitalia ... and instantly adopting the position of the fragile, vulnerable victim the moment they are criticized.

You just need to move your game theory to a different level. The expected value of lying about such things is super negative and the expected value of telling the truth is super positive.

I'm sure there's a model in which lying some of the time but not too often has marginally higher expected value, but it's also going to have significantly higher risk and that's not worth it, plus you have to be disciplined enough to actually apply such a strategy. One slip and you're dead! I'm too lazy for that.

Yes, they will owe you $x and you will still owe the hospital $x - but that's often not very useful, as they don't have any money (and you do).

You may desire to transfer the debt onto them, but the hospital will absolutely not accept that. Why would they? If a bank owed you $1 million, and they said "oh, now Jim owes you that money, not us" you would similarly refuse.

I disagree. 3D movies never really took off because the illusion of depth is limited to a prism around a two-dimensional screen, but VR allows for a full three-dimensional representation and a more complete illusion of depth. It’s like the difference between black-and-white and color film, or between silent film and film with sound. The only reason it seems like a novelty now is because virtually all the VR content is novelty content.
>> Executor runs tasklets, [...] that execute a processing step in a finite amount of time.

Depends on the requirements and the bounds of the finite time allowed and the enforcement of it. For example, Erlang claims to be soft real-time; it doesn't have preemption, but any function call can result in yielding, and as a functional language there are no loops without calling functions.

If you aren't beating the market you're losing money in opportunity cost, because you could've just bought an index fund and made more.

(Also, you don't just need to beat pure chance, because pure chance is not guaranteed — or I think likely — to result in net zero losses on average, since you are then in an information-asymmetric environment where your trading partner looks at data and you do not. But regardless, even if you "make" money but underperform the market, you are effectively losing money in opportunity cost!)
