The amount of coverage that you need may vary. Experiment and you can find the combination that will help you both fall asleep and stay ventilated during the hot nights.

I figured out I just need 3 areas to cover to feel really comfy:

- feet (socks are enough)

- lower back

- my face around the eyes

My usage isn't voluntary. I am pressured. There are friends I can't reach other ways.

You meant "PR flaks"?

How many years should we think back?

I have some old laptops at home and they work quite well with a proper Linux setup.

Should we think in terms of slowing everything down by some factor, or just slowing tasks that need an un-throttled CPU?

Does it include DRM?

Firefox Quantum is really fast! And I love it :)

However when comparing private/incognito browsing, my main concern wouldn't be the speed, but privacy.

When corporations behave in evil ways (e.g. exploit users, sue independent engineers extending their products, etc.) there is often a mention of shareholder interests making them do this.

Where exactly are shareholder interests in this story?

I wish someone would do the same for LiveScript.

Very vague on details. No links to exact researchers or their findings.

Does anyone know more about this?

I think that Juicero articles have nearly nothing to do with Juicero and a lot to do with the growing sentiment against SV.

While there are many good examples in OP's blogpost, most people are familiar only with the past and present unicorns and how they operate.

So there is the story of Uber that is going on: an immoral company with abusive management, avoiding taxes, exploiting employees and killing local business. It may be the biggest factor in this.

Another factor may be that people are becoming more and more aware and wary of the main modus operandi of the SV internet companies: data hoarding.

My point is that Juicero story happened, because people are looking for reasons to dismiss SV, not because Juicero did something exceptional. Unless the reasons for the sentiment are addressed, it probably won't go away.

A Master Programmer passed a novice programmer one day.

The Master noted the novice's preoccupation with a hand-held computer game.

"Excuse me," he said, "may I examine it?"

The novice bolted to attention and handed the device to the Master. "I see that the device claims to have three levels of play: Easy, Medium, and Hard," said the Master. "Yet every such device has another level of play, where the device seeks not to conquer the human, nor to be conquered by the human."

"Pray, Great Master," implored the novice, "how does one find this mysterious setting?"

The Master dropped the device to the ground and crushed it with his heel. Suddenly the novice was enlightened.

If you want to compete with AI, don't make humans easier to hack.
