I like the idea, and your website looks great.

What would you do differently if you had to redo it?

> - Laying off 25% of their engineers

If Firefox need to cut costs to survive, this is part of keeping Firefox working for us.

> - Sending all of your browsing history to Cloudflare

Are you referring to DNS over HTTPS? That's not all my browsing history, though it is still more than I want going to CloudFlare.

> You’re implying that the impact only matters if it is direct.

No, I acknowledge and want to account for indirect effects.

I just want to hold ourselves to empirical evidence, not just our political leanings.

They are anti-reality. They are a net negative in our efforts to contain a highly contagious virus.

I can see why you are scornful of them. But that doesn't make them a significant cause.

I agree it will have had some effects, both directly and indirectly. It's not clear to me how significant the effects are.

Granted, we have to act on imperfect information at times.

How much has anti-mask protesters contributed to the surge? They got a lot of coverage in [social] media, but what's the marginal impact they have, given their frequency?

It's important to establish the actual significant causes of issues, so we now how to improve in future. Actions of those on opposing political sides would be a convenient and perhaps comforting significant cause, so we should be careful in prematurely concluding that.

Perhaps so, but none of this is relevant to jgraettinger1's subthread.

Let's keep political cheerleading off HN.

First they laughed...

Ah, that makes sense. I can see why that would be useful.

+1 to software/hardware necromancy.

How does a Linux port make it easier to port emulators or console games?

Is this a step towards getting an N64 on a modern (?) stack like qemu+linux?

When taking advice from people, I weigh it by how much I want aspects of their lives

The Lesswrong community live in a narrow rationalist bubble.

Any justification for that?

IME, the point free style is aesthetic.

What are your thoughts on the Pinephone?

What would a reasonable goal for success look like? How can it be achieved? What would cause it to fail?

> It seems like management is the same almost everywhere. Bad.

If you perceive almost all management is bad, perhaps your standards are unrealistically high.

I don't mean that in a glib way, I mean that the decisions they have to make might be more nuanced and difficult than how you see the decision.
