IMO OpenClaw's innovation is in

1) accessibility to non-technical folks. For the first time, they are having the Claude Code experience that we've had as software engineers for some time now

2) shared, community token context. Many end users are contributing to one agent's context together. This has emergent properties

At my organization, we saw an uptick in timeouts spanning vendors that started at the same time - 6:55am PST. Makes me think there's an internet wide event occurring right now

jacobra2 | 6 years ago | on: Payment Request API

>It's important to note that many of the tricks (like hidden iframes from PSPs) that are used to make payments frictionless today are going to become useless as browsers roll out more changes to protect user's privacy (e.g. killing 3rd party cookies and storage).

Could you point me to resources to learn more about this? I work on integrations like this. Is it that iframed PSP integrations won't work at all, or they won't appear as seamless?

jacobra2 | 8 years ago | on: Modern Media Is a DoS Attack on Free Will

I've done something similar with my Android phone, and it's worked out decently. One problem I encountered though - I spent a lot of time on Reddit, and would check it subconsciously, so I deleted it. Now I find that I'm using Google Now, the left swipe off the home screen. In effect I took the attention from Reddit and gave it to Google. I'm not convinced that was a worthwhile trade. Given I can't delete Google Now, maybe having Reddit on my phone was serving a purpose I didn't realize. Maybe there's an app that will minimize the subconscious attention blast radius. Something that I'll still check but will minimize the time I spend there.

There is now an incentive for that vulnerability to be addressed that didn't exist before. Seems like a security win overall.
