This is exactly how Mastodon works.

For a project as young as Mastodon, major features are still necessary to meet people's expectations of a modern social network user experience.

Very, apparently. Would anyone care to explain?

TL;DR: Distributed ledgers don't allow enough circulating cash to make the economy go?

If you're already using Gmail, how privacy conscious can you be?

This is all very reasonable, but assumes that avoiding catastrophic failure is the most profitable course of action.

It reminds me of Broadway Boogie Woogie which is from the 40s…

I have a NUC5CPYH (it was very cheap). It was too slow for my liking, but everything worked, including Ubuntu, OpenBSD, Haiku, etc.

ChromiumOS is perfect for it. It's distributed by Neverware as CloudReady OS.

I read Code by Charles Petzold so I think I have at least some concept of how the operating system and hardware communicate. So now I guess I need a better understanding of how applications communicate with the operating system, as recommended by another reply, more for the sake of knowing rather than any practical reason.

Have you read Operating Systems: Design and Implementation?

If this article is a little over my head, what can I read that will help me understand?

Following in the trend of Google Hangouts, Google will eventually split the services back into different products.

"most web designs out there could surely learn a lot from how Windows 95 solved so many problems by thinking about how target users would deal with their product"

They weren't thinking about it; they were actually testing it with users.

Soylent Food Bars were the only vegan food bars on the market. Now they're gone. Please bring them back.

Your name says more about your parents than it says about you.

Let me guess, fluoride?

Well, what do you know?

And here I'm the weirdo thinking that music has intrinsic value.

"Practice kissing! It exercises your mouth muscles so that you can eat soup better!"

Pick any modern automobile, and you can drive to your destination with ease. Each car maximizes some manner of cost, comfort, materials, efficiency, and safety. Compare a modern car with a 100 year old vehicle, and you will find innovation in absolutely every area. A machine for moving people. You don't need to bring anything with you. You don't need to bring your own chair to sit in, for example - the car already has that.

Now, pick any modern house. You will find almost no innovation compared to a house that is 100 years old. You'll need to bring your own chair, since the house just has empty rooms. Think of all the things you need to do in order to live. Shouldn't the architect of the house take all of these activities into consideration? Le Corbusier uses such examples as -- shouldn't there be a place to store artwork, so that there is always something different on the wall? Shouldn't there be recessed lighting, so there is no dusty chandelier to clean? Shouldn't there be as much natural light as possible, to avoid the need for artificial light in the first place?

Shouldn't the house be a machine for living, just as the car is a machine for driving? Where style is not bolted on, but rather the formal outcome of functionality?

Another phrase he uses that I really like, "the answer to a question well posed," or, "the solution to a problem well posed."

But anyway, I'm rambling. Read "Toward An Architecture." Any book that gets a new translation at almost 100 years old is probably worth a gander.

Une maison est une machine-à-habiter.

I'm not sure I believe punishment is even possible.

My personal view is that if someone needs to be separated from society for the good of society or for themselves, it should be done in the most humane and least restrictive way possible.

Even the article is buggy!

You can't sign away your right to sue in the US. You can always sue.

Tip of the iceberg. Leave ASAP.

My coworker (a salaried employee) was working on the weekend as a courtesy to my boss (small business). She saw him wearing headphones and told him to take them off immediately and that they weren't allowed.

He never came in on the weekend again.

Rules like 'no headphones' are the signal that the boss is suffering from pathological behavior. This is a very unhealthy environment for the employees. Leave immediately.

I'm fascinated by Korean culture! I recommend Colin Marshall's podcast Notebook on Cities and Culture, which recently completed a Korean tour: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/notebook-on-cities-cultu...

Brilliant piece; thanks for posting it again so many years later. It's as relevant as ever.
