I'd much rather see a thriving ecosystem full of competition and innovation than a more stagnant alternative.

More broadly, can a comment on a forum thread that isn't directed at anyone in particular really be considered "mansplaining"? I consider that term to mean something like "a man explaining something to a woman because he assumes she doesn't know".

Just because the topic is about women doesn't mean a man can't post a thought that is relevant and (mildly) thought provoking.

I also find that adding distance makes it easier to improve time. If I can only run 1 mile, it's pretty hard to run that same mile but faster. BUT if I can run 3 miles, it's a bit easier to run 1/3 of my normal distance but focusing on pushing the pace.

What makes you think that? Do you have a specific example from the keynote in mind?

There must be something since you've never actually used this design system yourself. Or is this just your pre-judgement?

You've already judged the system as only good for "looking good on screenshots and marketing materials" when you haven't even seen anything other than the announcement.

Who is actually hurt if I publish an llms.txt or MCP in addition to my existing content?

Really though, how is this all that different from making candidates type their resume into a form then filtering in their ATS? Seems like a nice ergonomic approach if they're actually set up to use MCPs in candidate sourcing (probably won't be the case for at least another year).

The size of the country has almost no bearing on the way we develop our towns and cities, subsidize car production, assume/require car ownership in public policy, etc.

It's also quite the stretch to claim the UK as the best country in the EU and even more to claim that it doesn't also have a car culture. And it's not just "America's worst state", the vast majority of US town and cities are car dependent.

To make this work at scale we all need to agree on the specific routes names, payloads, behaviors, etc. At that point we have defined a protocol (built on top of HTTP, itself a lower level protocol).

I don't sign a term sheet when I order at McDonalds but you can be damn sure they count how many big macs I order. Does that make them morally bankrupt? Or is it just a normal business operation that is actually totally reasonable?

If they were tracking my identity across sites and actually selling it to the highest bidder that's one thing that we'll definitely agree on. This is so so far from that.

You're welcome to build and use your own MCP browser automation if you're so hostile to the developer that built something cool and free for you to use.
