I do see it in one photo on their site. I just hide mine with software ("topnotch") and it's fine.

> You can’t fucking trust anyone not to chase money these days.

I don't even mind paying a reasonable amount for Bidwarden (as I do) or other things I find valuable, but it's the unlimited growth of profit that disgusts me. My Grand Father, Father, and myself were/are all business people (in very different industries) and we'd all be ashamed to double the price of something simply for more profit.

and pacing doesn't necessarily even mean slowing down. It just means they're controlling the iteration speed. They can increase pace or decrease pace.

One theory about the regulatory capture angle is that it's not just to shutdown competition as usual, but also a way to slow the runaway spending that might eventually have major economic impact.

I prefer 5.6 Luna while a coworker prefers 3.8 Flash. The difference seems to be that they chat with Flash (with code context) while I just ask Luna to directly modify the code. I was already very impressed with 5.6 Luna so I am looking forward to running 6.0 Luna all day tomorrow to see how it compares.

That is fascinating. Out of curiosity, how far apart would the paths have had to remain in order to be ok with just two links? Like, I'm thinking a plane crash between those two links in the 400m zone could destory both links so a third link makes sense, but if it were 800m that would probably be fine? Or what magnitude of disaster are they trying to mitigate and how much separation would that require for just two links?

Like any intelligent source of important information... trust but verify.

> You can also create reasonably diversified data silos within a country.

I generally agree, although if a small country only had half a dozen or so redundant data centers then it would be relatively easy for a powerful adversary to wipe out all of the data centers and potentially have a significant economic impact on that country.

Having a backup data center in an ally country might make sense. Kind of like how I keep an encrypted backup hard drive at my parents house. Whenever I go to visit I pull it out and backup my laptop there too.

It wouldn't be behind their back, like I said, "Maybe let website owners decide which scrapers are allowed to use their content, or allow them to get paid for use of it."

I was thinking the same thing... paid access for high volume users or scrapers could actually help fund the non-profit. Maybe let website owners decide which scrapers are allowed to use their content, or allow them to get paid for use of it. If news and other sites were getting paid, maybe they could go back to optimizing for good content instead of clicks.

> The keyboard remains unfixed, as is tradition.

Jeez. I wish they could just roll the keyboard back to iOS 7. That's the last version where it was good.

> with several decent TVs in the house I'd watch movies most of the time with one of them

Once these headsets have comparable image quality, I could see them being very engaging for TV series, sports, and movies. I often wear headphones at night when I'm watching content to avoid waking my family. Being able to do that in any room, with an even larger "screen" would be really useful in some cases.

For sure. I think this is more for someone who wants something portable though.

I fully agree. I'm just saying we already know the crease is slightly visible on day one and that's the best they could get it at this point. I'm sure they wanted to do better than that but the tech just isn't there yet.
