  • You’d need to rollback the last 70 years of pensions being replaced by 401k plans and/or limit responsibility to the brokers. If you hire a licensed plumber that ends up flooding your neighbor’s place, the plumber is the one getting sued.

    It would probably also be good to restructure retirement incentives away from the stock market, but that’s not going to happen overnight either.


  • Google also accidentally deleted a random amount of user’s timeline data if you didn’t immediately catch it and restore from back up last March before the affected backups were overwritten. If you didn’t keep a close enough watch on your timeline to know that that happened, everything before ~Feb 2025 is gone now.

    Ask me how I know. Yes I kept up on permissions. Yes I had backups on. No I didn’t have a new device. I even have dozens of available gigabytes of paid storage on Google One.

    I’m sure it will only get more stable due to maps and timeline being revenue generators that encourage investment.

    Building from source is always going to come with complications. That’s why most people don’t do it. A docker compose file that ‘just’ downloads the stable release from a repo and starts running is dramatically more simple than cross-referencing all your services to make sure there are no dependency conflicts.

    There’s an added layer of complexity under the hood to simplify the common use case.












  • They are a bad scientist.

    They have decided they don’t like a thesis and are looking for reasoning to explain those feelings. What they are not doing is trying to understand the evidence for the thesis. They believe that science is one person saying the viewpoint they already hold is how the thesis they don’t like or understand is ‘disproven’.

    They are not curious for discovery, they are curious how to explain their pre-existing worldview in “science-y words” because they feel unable to reconcile their faith with reason. In another life they would have been the monk writing how the patterning on flowers is proof of Jesus’ suffering.
