I'll add my 2c, and say that even with a really fluid password manager flow, "signin with X" is usually a 1-click entry (possibly 2 for scope authorization), rather than a signup form + leaving the site to click through an email verification.

I'd much prefer 1password to do it's "you last signed in with github here" popup, than just have easy new passwords created.


They're a portfolio partner; there's some useful synergies there.


Did you see that ludicrous display last night?


The thing is, he always tries to walk it in.


in this tool (and others I've seen, maybe zulip does this), you can mark threads as "done", and mark messages as canonical.

with slack, it's easy to have a thread with 15 different answers which are all slightly different.

The "knowledge retention" features I'm looking for is being able to mark a thread as "this is the decision made", have that highlighted in metadata and archival, maybe be able to link off to a notion page, and have the thread closed to finalize the decision.

EDIT: the number of times I've had to kick people off a thread because they're adding bad info during a crisis reallllly drives my desire for marking canonical messages lol


Ah, highlighting specific messages would be a neat feature to have in Slack! It aligns with their official acronym: Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge.


I was very surprised these weren't piezo or turbine based, but rather harvesting voltage differences in the water droplets itself.

Could a piezo collect current like this, on a solar panel sized sheet? I'd imagine it's not an insignificant amount of power during a downpour.


What's the velocity and mass of a single rain drop? And how many fall in a square meter in an average year?

Can't do this homework at the moment...


but "Netflix and my bank actually work in Chrome" is Google's endgame.


the adblock "endgame" will be a self-hosted DNS system that blocks requests to ad-server urls (or return benign responses).

Then the game will switch to encrypted proxied traffic that you cannot block.

Then the adblocking software will switch to the GPU layer, and use machine learning and AI to wipe the region of memory in the GPU containing the ads (and replace it with something benign).

Then the next logical step from likes of google is a fully trusted computing environment - aka, you as an end user no longer control your own machine.

This is entirely predicted by Richard Stallman.


The browser... or the javascript running in it, served from the primary domain you are browsing will just do DNS over HTTP from within the browser, completely avoiding your dns filter


Which follows that the final frontier of ad blocking are AR glasses that use machine learning and AI to block light from ads from reaching your eyes?


For folks coming here later, you can figure out the order that you should view them in by reading into the `.fsproj` file, which will lay out compile units in order.


for those not in the know, look up Bluecifer - the statue literally murdered it's creator.


yeah! I used to work at that StorageTek location, before they sold to Sun and then Oracle.

Conoco bought the land like 10 years back and demolished the old offices for a "clean energy lab" IIRC , though that never happened and now Tape Drive (and Disk Drive, on the western side of the campus) just deadend into a large empty field.

The fact that those offices are gone feels like a weird message about tech, but i don't know what it is.


WWVB is running at 60kHz, and powers at least a few of the small desk clocks in my home :)
