- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 2 days ago:
Modern developers simply were not ever taught the old ways. The old ways are light years ahead in terms of optimization and efficiency than what modern developers can even imagine. Imagine creating a C compiler and it has to run in 16KB of RAM and be powerful enough to build unxz, untar and sha256sum. Because it was done because they needed it.

Buy a physical safe. Encrypt a flash drive using a 128bit pass phrase that you memorize.
Combine with a ubikey storing a 256bit password that is stored somewhere hard to get to

If you want cooldown between activities, you will need a rest period that is a multiple of 15 minutes.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
About 15 minutes.
If you can work on a single thing for blocks of 15 minutes size. Then you will context switch at the human mind’s natural frequency. Anything shorter and you’ll be operating at decreased IQ. Anything longer will not produce meaningful improvements.

Sounds more like improving search and providing high quality information resources could eliminate the need for advertising altogether.
- Comment on You can ask any question to the people of year 3000, but can only receive information in the form of a single bit. What's your question? 1 week ago:
Wrong. Assuming 6bit and one bit per minute; a 3 char start and stop sequence. 1024 character message could be sent per 4.3 days. Or a faster response time than my ex.

When entire state governments can fit in a single Rack, why bother?
