Hi, I did try the demo. Based on it and your comment I see your product having the following benefits: refunds, (much)nicer UI, more customizable, and faster transactions (3 minutes? are you still accomplishing that when transfer times are generally slower than that?).

However CoinPayments is cheaper (0.5% per transaction), and supports many more coins and features. For example they can easily be set up to collect shipping addresses for me so that I don't have to. They do send a variety of receipt emails as well, but something nicer/customizable would be preferable. I could accomplish all of this using the CoinPayments API rather than the prebuilt buttons, but that would require a lot more work on my end.

I would be willing to move to something with a nicer, more customizable UI if the cost/feature gap was closed. Good luck with this!
I've recently vacationed in Mexico and Colombia. Duolingo Spanish was my main resource for brushing up on the language before each trip. I wasn't fluent, but I impressed myself over how much I was able to successfully communicate. I practiced for about a month before each trip. My daily goal was 50XP.

That said, I've cumulatively taken about 6 years of Spanish throughout middle school, high school, and community college.

As this article points out, they are adding an impressive amount of new content. The new "Stories" feature is cool (I think it's still under the "Labs" section). So is their podcast, which is an NPR-style story that alternates 1 paragraph in Spanish, then the next paragraph in English.
I have only used Duolingo for languages I am fluent in. There is a mode somewhere where you can take a set of exams to see where you place on the fluency spectrum in any given language they offer. I do this for pure curiosity to see how far I get up on their "track". I find it to be a super shallow and lacking system - the words encountered have little to do in the way of everyday conversation, things you see on TV, the grocery store, or even most professional settings. I don't have too many examples off the top of my head, but one that really kept coming up in the French test was "the little spider is red" - When does someone need this? Whys is this any mark of proficiency?

I always leave feeling as though this app/product is a giant waste of time.
Flagging for a title change, perhaps:

"Birds can see Earth's magnetic fields due to protein in their eyes"

or the original, more clickbait-y title:

"Birds Can See Earth's Magnetic Fields, And We Finally Know How That's Possible"
Tesla's autopilot is setup to check if the driver's hands are on the wheel.

If it does not detect hands on the wheel it disengages.

The argument they make is that having hands on wheel is, effectively, having the driver in the loop as a part of the safety system ready and able to take over 'instantaneously' if necessary.
I knew Wright was shady, but did he seriously bet that an exponential distribution doesn't have the properties it is known to have?

Query keyboards were designed for old typewriters, so that the most common combinations of letters were not beside each other to minimize jamming. Dvorak and Colemak were designed to be the opposite, so if you are keen to touch type then it might be worth looking into. I tried it for RSI, but my speed just wasn't the same as my usual style.

> While for now the positioning of autopilot is to increase safety for non attentive drivers, eventually autopilot's main goal is to have completely self driven cars and that is where the industry is heading (and Tesla wants to be in the forefronts of it).

In that case they should issue a recall, and not use real users as their test drivers. Once they get to their eventual goal, they can resume selling autopilot cars.

> We can differ in opinions but I strongly feel that the eventual utopia of self driving cars will be much safer than the current world. And we are making progress on this daily. There will be few unfortunate incidents but in the long term a lot more lives will be saved.

I totally agree with you that in the long term self-driving cars are much safer. What I do not agree with is Tesla's approach towards achieving that goal. They are selling an unsafe product while marketing it as much safer than the existing products. This is just plain fraud.

It's not about whether what Tesla released was true or not, it is about whether or not it is the whole story and whether or not the investigation has run its course. Tesla reporting any data before the investigation is complete - and so before all the facts are in - as long as that data paints Telsa in a good light is extremely un-ethical.

I think there are quite a bit more consumers than is obvious at first glance. I am currently surrounded by a hundred or so non-technical people typing away at their work computers. Not sure if those will be replaced by touch interfaces anytime soon.
That is, terrifyingly, the same logic my friends use with their young children.
Yep, this used to happen frequently on road trips. It relies on squeezing the wheel fairly firmly.

Each was hired years apart, and with large distances and no communication, each does not know that the others continue to work behind them to undo their life’s work.
>automation system

Tesla autopilot is driver assist, not automated driving.

If you want to put someone on trial, you first have to establish a crime.

If the crime is a bug in autopilot, then yes, Tesla is guilty.

If the crime is killing the driver of a vehicle because of an accident, then Tesla is not guilty.

We can talk about bugs in software outside of a manslaughter case.
You could use sleep, sure, but then you require a seperate thread for every delayed message, which is a whole different ball of not-fun.

Otherwise what actually happens when you do a postDelayed(func, delay) is it immediately is translated into a postAt(func, clock_gettime() + delay). Then as messages are consumed the work queue consistently knows how long it should wait to wake back up, no matter how many delayed tasks are in flight.
> On the other hand, large C code bases are a special kind of hell, lack of namespaces

Can you please name a project that you have worked on where you have run into problems because everything was in a single namespace? What was the problem, how did you run into it, and how did you resolve it?

There are a lot of advantages to namespaces. I used to believe that single-namespace languages would cause problems for large software, but working with Emacs (huge single namespace with all the libraries loaded into memory at once, so much worse than C, where you only link a subset of libraries), this problem has not surfaced. I mean literally the only difference is that ".", or whatever the language-enforced namespace accessor is, goes from being special syntactically, to being a convention. When you start to think about namespaces as trees, this makes more sense. Namespaces just push naming conflicts to the parent node. There is no magic that is going to solve conflicts or structure things well or give things clear names. All that is up to the programmer.
Dat+Beaker is way ahead of IPFS in tooling, developer mindshare, consumer friendly UI, etc. With $250 million it's pretty shocking they don't seem more worried/focused on that.
I agree, I come from a finance background, now designing erp / crm. I can code and I’m expert in SQL and Excel. I’m amazed how primitive software languages, still are and how terrible they are for GUI, all they seeem to offer is - if then else, case, loops, some pattern matching and recursion, they’re all the same - not much better than VB for 20 years ago. SQL is more advanced and powerful. Shame nothing like SQL for UI, HTML is declarative but too dumb and static no equivalent to AI query analyzer to auto layout screens based on constraints and designer inputs from a graphic tool. NO designers should NOT have to use text to design, especially not 3 different primitive languages, ridiculous arrogant way of thinking from coders, who would no doubt struggle to draw a smiley. Anyway rant over, your tool looks amazing from a cursory glance, what tech stack is built on? your website doesn’t say?? can forms / nodes easily connect to Postgres Functions? I use functions for all data IO. Is it easy to port to high performance server stack,from local machine prototype? I’m happy to pay licence fees, just for the tool though, I must have complete control over anything built by it. I have seen a similar python based tool, but it is hosted output only, so of no use to me.
> EdgeDB is not a graph database: the data is stored and queried using relational database techniques and requires a strict schema.

I feel like they make a pretty good case as to why this isn't a graph database, though I wonder if you might expand on your reasoning?
I'm not sure it would be really helpful. Not all jobs (on LinkedIn) are IT jobs, far from that.

The real advantage would be to map everyone and every company to get intelligence on the users and potential users of their products (Office 365)
Missing from the list is any way to find out what some of these listed entities mean. For example, under "Advertisers who uploaded a contact list with your information" is claimed "Nebula Mars". What exactly is that? I can't google it and get any useful result. It both meaningless in its terminally symbolic state and deeply meaningful as an indicator of where my data is truly living in the world.
Mad Max was anarcho-capitalism reaching its logical conclusion, a monopoly with a financed militia.

> With regards to healthcare, the best system is one in which each individual person has autonomy over themselves. Each will have its own desires: making money, saving money, receiving treatment, etc. The "system" emerges from the accumulation of human desires and abilities. I can't tell you exactly what it looks like because I can't pretend to know what everyone will want, nor can I tell you what is best for everyone. They are best left to determine that themselves.

So basically no health care system and no social security, and bartering for whatever you want.

Just say you want libertarian minimal government and we'd have saved 10 minutes of our lives instead of vague platitudes.
To be fair, that situation sounds like one that would be better served by using the Block option, rather than just inference from the defriending action.
I think the Amish have a lot to teach us about integrating technology into our lives. Sure, they probably go further than I, personally, would prefer. But at least they have asked themselves the question, "How can we reap the benefits of this new technology while avoiding it's pitfalls?" The larger culture, on the other hand, isn't even aware this is a question worth asking.
I can't figure out if the lack of an 'R' is an omission or a joke that I don't understand.
Don't promote this guy, it should be obvious he is a conman. He claimed to be the creator of bitcoin ten years ago using C++ and Qt, yet there is no other software that he has written anywhere to be found.

He claimed he would sign a message with the private key from the genesis block, yet never did. Instead he used a previously signed message to dupe people.

Here is a blog post that he edited to make it look like he was working on cryptocurrency in 2008:

Here is a compilation of evidence against his claims:

He made these claims to get funding for his company which is now on a tear to patent everything they can:

I think they meant in the sense that users heavily made use of third party mobile apps, even long before the web site had a usable mobile version. Reddit has always had a dev-friendly API enabling these things.

Email is still a powerful platform
...you just have to be providing something very useful.

I really enjoy getting newsletters, or updates via email - it's so seamless and convenient.

There are many examples of successful email newsletters:

• The Skimm

• Scott's Cheap Flights

• Stratechery

They are all multi-million businesses, but they share one common characteristic. They offer enormous value!
Yes. I believe the problem is that they negotiate the prices with the insurance companies. They have to start high, so they can negotiate down. They actually do have a price list, that you can sometimes bully them into giving you, which are the prices that they submit to begin negotiations with the insurance companies. But, as you can imagine, those prices on that list are crazy high, as they are intended to be negotiated down, not actually paid.
The terms of buying that data may prevent them from distributing it.
in other news how is their new profile design going? I keep adding /overview to mine and other profiles to be able to actually click on things . Why do they keep breaking functionality for no apparent reason? It's becoming a theme in many high-traffic websites (google adsense, analytics come to mind), it's as if new managers roll in and decide to piss all around their territory.

Your comment doesn’t have any substance. For what reason do you think it’s undesirable?
This looks great. I actually wood prefer a third party app though because using the stock apps means that audio auto plays when connecting to some Bluetooth devices. It drives me insane that every time I get in my car some audiobook I was listening to starts auto playing.
Except you can’t flip it around because it’s not symmetric. From the point of view of the investee, the government is just another investor and can’t demand more onerous terms. From the point of view of the government, it’s not just another investor, because it can capture public benefits private investors cannot.

At most, you might be able to argue that the government should be able to seek an equity stake in return for funding R&D. That’s not enough to support your original point however, which was that government funded research should be in the public domain.
Something you need isn't necessarily what defines you. We all need food and water but that's not what defines us -- at least not at the level of abstraction people care about. Google has a ton of databases, etc. but one would hardly call it a database company.
You've painted a picture in my mind of Reddit as this massive blob connecting Discord, so-called "fringe communities", etc.

It actually makes me appreciate Reddit a bit more -- it can be garbage, but it's also a bit of a centralized meeting place for so many smaller communities. Even if the bulk of those smaller communities doesn't take place on Reddit itself, they still flow through Reddit.

Reddit is like the central bazaar of discoverability. The community you end up in might not live on Reddit, but in all likelihood, you discovered it through Reddit.

So despite how terrible the big communities can be (which is not a Reddit-exclusive problem), I'm still glad it exists. Maybe an alternative is needed, but at the very least, I respect how Reddit has mostly retained this unique ability over the years.

The article reads like an episode from Silicon Valley complete with TJ Miller clone boy.

I have a vpn for myself and some friends that accepts connections on all ports. I set it up over a decade ago on OpenBSD with a simple pf redirect. I have never had any problems with it, but it obviously doesn't see nearly as much traffic as Cloudflare.

Does OpenBSD handle this differently than Linux, or am I doing this wrong?
Does EdgeDB support variants[0]? I've always dreamed of a database that did.

A lot of the content of that blog post is just pompous, nebulous marketing speak. I wish they would talk more about the technical details (like release some numbers or benchmarks). The example is the only part that is really interesting. I guess technical people aren't its target audience?
I'm still fine buying a Tesla, when I can afford one, because I have never found the capabilities of their vehicles to be confusing.

Those who need their hands held about driving assistance and so-on can wait until the government OKs the first fully autonomous vehicle. Which, regardless of the name of Tesla's driver assist technology, has not yet occurred.
> We have to bear the cost of accepting that lives are not worth infinite, and that its not okay to spend irrationally to save one.

This is a key point and one I see a lot of people lose track of in these debates. Nobody is entitled to have millions and millions spent on keeping them alive, and this is one of the key moral hazards of public healthcare (though one we mostly bear the cost of already with Medicare).

Interestingly I've heard of IPFS many many times and this is the first I've heard of Dat+Beaker. Do you have a starting point you suggest to get an idea of what it is or does?
One of the problems I've seen with FB is invisible followers. A whole bunch of people, possibly very famous people could be following you and you'd never know it. (same with IG)

There must be user-levels on FB, and FB might even be charging money to their most privileged users for various rights you couldn't imagine. Even getting a verified account could cost a lot of money, who knows?

add: actually I just imagined what rights they have: IP theft, made legal.

As soon as you upload something to FB and IG (a photo or text,) it belongs to FB, right?

So say you upload a photo and some famous person likes it and copies it 99% of the way, but they have the permission to do that from FB then it's not theft, right?

But there must be a guilty conscience otherwise why hide the famous person from doing the following in the first place? It's a leaching mentality. You've walked through the jungle and got some leaches stuck to you. Whose fault is that?

Enterprise software is much more than just desktop CRUD applications.

For example, iOS applications, portable code between Android and iOS, distribution tracking, factory automation, life science devices, big data, graphics are all a small list of examples where C and C++ get used a lot.

Sometimes it says C++ on the tin, but when one opens it, it is actually the flavour I call "C with C++ compiler".

> On the NES however, every line of code is yours.

I once stuck my nose into Game Boy Advance homebrew and was happy to find it can be the same there. Every piece of the hardware is memory mapped. That means, given a reference of the mapped addresses and struct definitions, you can do whatever you want with the machine without any magic, black-box external code.
The U.S. military publicly agreed with your argument until a few years ago. To bomb primitive foes like ISIL or the Taliban, they don't even need F-16s; low-end planes or drones can do the job. Sec Def Bob Gates canceled several high-end weapons programs planned in the Cold War for that reason.

But now the U.S. military expects to compete with 'near-peer' enemies such as China and Russia, and that is what they are preparing for. In that threat environment, any advantage or disadvantage can be significant.
Well, the details are quite pronounced and 3D also when viewed from Earth through even a smallish (~100 mm) telescope (preferably near the lunar terminator, where the Sun angle is small).

There are 19 SEASONS of Air Crash Investigation. I can already hear the stern speaker’s voice of TCI - Tesla Crash Investigation - saying that Tesla interfered with the first dozen investigations...
