"Doesn't make sense for us but mandated by policy" is a super common phenomenon that you'll sadly encounter all the time in the industry. Especially when it comes to security. In this case it's at least motivated by something as peripheral as onion services wanting to fit in with the browser ecosystem, which, fair, maybe it doesn't make sense for browsers to bloat their designs by taking onion services into account, and then onion services have to adapt to modern browser standards.

"it would be cool if ..." runs into "but effort" and dies, while "it sucks that ..." is something that gnaws at you

If you're playing Terraforming Mars you want to build your "engine", in terms of resources or points generated per turn. The usual way to achieve this efficiently is to use up as much of your current resources as possible, so that they can compound over the course of the game. An innovative company should thus have costs exceeding revenue, as the costs should lead to future profits. It's of course possible to have costs that do not end up generating any kind of profit, but it would be a bit strange to see a company that has valuable ways to deploy capital simply refuse to do so

https://picrankr.com - upload pictures and have friends rank them. I've already showed it to enough people to know about some of the issues the idea has, and will improve it whenever I find the time .

Some issues:

- most issues where people need to choose a pic is a large N problem (100s of pics, not a handful)

- no-one wants to bubble sort pics for large N

- people want qualitative feedback, not only quantitative

There are some other issues I know about as well, such as image compression, etc., but feel free to try it out and give additional feedback :)
