Here's a graph showing how long it would take to read the ToS of some prominent companies: https://i.redd.it/j6cd57dbrga61.png


EU: According to a directive passed 2006, a minimum of six months and at most 24 months. But that directive was ruled invalid and anulled in 2014. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive


How does it compare with flexsearch? It claims to be the fastest, smallest, prettiest search library in town. https://github.com/nextapps-de/flexsearch


this one is 100% client side, flexsearch is client-server.

I guess for bigger indexes not gonna work out, as the payload will be huge and it pushes all the work to the client.


Nope.. Was looking into flex search today.. is all client side


Download and unzip NW.js, create a file called package.json with the following text:

  { "name": "JSPaint", "main": "https://jspaint.app/" }
Place it in the extracted folder, then start nw.


I've not used NW.js before but I'm guessing that won't work offline?


It works if the page is a PWA with offline support. But no, JSPaint doesn't seem to be one :/

You could probably use a local caching proxy if your love for MSPaint is true and pure.


Hypersane sounds a little smug, but it feels close to something.

Like, there seems to be a difference between how smart a person is, and being [effective? rational? non-reactive? introspective?].

It feels like there's a spectrum of to which extent people are programmed by, and are reacting to, their environment. A spectrum that might be separate from how smart they are. Give them a text-book or an IQ-test and they'll do great, give them the news and they'll ineffectually berate and hate each-other, and so on.

So while a sane person might have a common social programming, an insane persons programming would be corrupted/deviant.

And a "hypersane" person would be someone who is more able to see their own (and others) programming, and to a greater extent be able to opt-out of some of it?

Maybe there are better words for it.


May be the Unsane ? :). Seriously, there is already a name for it.

"The name that can be named is not the eternal name."

The effect when watching it on your phone (with headphones) in the YouTube app is really neat, with the 3D audio and orientation tracking.


You can't earn money by making things for people that have no money. We need to solve that first.


Yes you can, by pricing according to their needs and not according to your costs.

It's easy to forget that poor people are still people -- they have base needs like the rest of us: they need food, drink, clothes and of course shelter regardless of their financial situation. Some are currently able to meet those basic needs by holding multiple jobs, taking out loans or putting up with someone else (relative, friend) that is economically well-off. Regardless of how they do it, these basic needs translate into economic activities for whoever is able to fulfil them at a price they can afford.

Of course to break even, your business model needs to factor in the fact that it will take longer than the average to see any return on invested capital.


https://gems.org/ might disagree with that statement. It's a project that I have high hopes for. And they even make a good argument why they have decided to go the blockchain route, while others in the space have by and large failed to make their case.


Wheelchair Deathmatch. Sounds fun, I would totally play that in VR.
