Did you know Safari/GNOME Web/Midori/Odysseus/etc's WebInspector is a JavaScript webapp bundled with your browser? I think the same's true of Firefox & Chrome.

You don't need a supercomputer, and I don't think debugging false positives justifies keeping recordings of private communication (though I understand the temptation).

you might think we're slow, but think again! (1/3)

if we want to ship 25 laptops/wk, it means (simplified) with 2 people working on this 40h/wk each and one 20h/wk to cover all required skills to assemble, flash, test, package, export: each unit can get max 4h of attention so everything has to go smoothly for this to work out.

the problem with doing things, is that doing things releases a chemical in your brain that makes you want to do things, which means if you don't do things you don't want to do things

Many Americans think that Hawai'ians lived in huts prior to colonization. The US actually de-industrialized Hawai'i. Before 1898, Hawai'i already had electricity, mass transit, railroads. Iolani palace had electric lights before the White House.
