Submitted the book to the publisher today. I looked back and it was 10 months to the day I started writing it. Took significantly more time than I expected (calendar months but also hours per day). It was an interesting process. I learned a lot and it sharpened my thinking on the topic. Would recommend :)

Asking users to pay (and go through UX hassles) to register domain names is not a mainstream user experience. It was tried many times including with RSS and didn’t work. If your protocol design relies on it, it won’t scale. Centralized intermediaries will step in to streamline as Twitter et al did with RSS.

Tenet might be Nolan’s only bad movie? I tried rewatching it this week. The time inversion stuff just takes too much work to understand, and also the acting seems off?

I switched to Bing a few weeks ago and I’d say it’s significantly better than Google. Same quality results (I cross check them occasionally) and far fewer ads.

To those who say toxic culture is inevitable in scaled online communities: I’d say the web and email are doing well. There is toxic stuff of course but also sufficient tools to screen it out. Architecture matters.
