“As a baseline reality check, we should not be sending over 1% of a 3.5" floppy disk purely in signatures and public keys.”

Really? This is a ridiculous statement and sounds like we're worried about bandwidth consumption from the time when a US Robotics modem was a luxury.

Incredibly impactful and disturbing.

Because they care less than any other industry about positive customer experience and convenience.

Good luck with that. He pissed away $44B buying and running Twitter into the ground and now expects others to invest? Especially this area—-Musk was so certain OpenAI was doing it wrong and too slowly. How’d that position work out?

Brings back fond memories. I was at JSC in Houston and took on a consulting job to convert a massive data manipulation and statistical analysis program that ran in COBOL on an IBM 370 to run on an IBM PC. I did a portion of the code in Turbo Pascal just for fun on a bet that it would run faster (in terms of user wait time) and it did—-45 minutes down to 5. Then I wrote the rest of the code, optimized, and got my first 80286-based PC and we got sub-minute processing times. At that point I convinced my friend that we could dispense with the collection of the massive data set via bubble scan sheets filled out in the field with an early laptop computer. We went through multiple iterations and improvements over a few years and the system ran for 15+ years, albeit on much improved hardware as time went on.

Ask them to take you to the edge of the Earth and show you where you can jump off. /s

Kagi looks pretty good

Why would you want to?

You CANNOT deactivate an email with one click. If you delete an email address you would expect it to be dead. Not so—-if an email is sent to the address it is re-activated. I’ve reported this annoying behavior multiple times to no avail.

System design is not coding and coding is not system design.

Just this one

I think this is a trick question. The answer is “none.”
