I love when folks over-analyze stuff like this.

I had $2K in my Paypal account. I had about $1200 in my primary checking account. And another few Gs in savings.

I needed to pay a $2700 expense. I could have transfered from the savings, but you are restricted to the number of times per year you can do that, without penalty.

TLDR: I have no problem sacrificing $10 to get immediate access to another $2K in cash, with the thought co-resident in my mind that I do not want to incur any potential savings -> checking with-drawl penalties.

The APR in this case is meaningless to me completely. $10 for low latency access to my cash is a small price to pay, versus waiting a day or longer for slower (free) transfer methods to complete.
My desk is messier than you would believe. I’m not proud. As in, only reason I’m cleaning the house today is because they’re gonna start showing it tomorrow.

I forget the exact quote, but it goes something like "the best distributed system is one you didn't build". Obviously there are reasons to build them that become inevitable once a system needs to grow beyond a certain size, but if you can put that off for a while, it's a win.
I'm not on board for designing economy based on the happiness levels of the envious. Besides, the literature is clear that rising in status has very little long term impact on happiness.

Edit: it kinda goes like this

"I'm not happy because i don't make enough money"

"Here's some money"

"I'm not happy because i don't make enough money"

"Here's some money"

"I'm not happy because i don't make enough money"

"Ummm.... Maybe you should find a better metric for meaning in your life, because we're getting nowhere."

Beyond a certain point, which appears to be "bill collectors aren't knocking down your door", more money does nothing for your mental health. Look up Jordan Peterson to find the non-controversial reasons why.

Edit 2: the great tragedy of the leftist economic designer seems to be that subsidizing the poor seems to have no effect. If you do that, the labor costs of goods rises to meet it. So all you did is eat into already-narrow profit margins to, at best, raise prices for everybody including the middle class, or at worse, kill local small businesses.

The real darkly funny part about this whole thing is that, in America, controlling for factors like disability, poor individuals don't stay poor very long. You work hard, you're not poor for much longer. If you don't work hard, you're poor forever.

Edit 3: I often hear a politician say a thing that's false, that people "can't get ahead". It might be true that they can't get ahead as fast as they would like. But so what? We can't fix that problem. Literally, it's not possible. How fast you get ahead is a function of how hard you work. That's how capitalism works.
Your gmail account stores the purchases.

Google can help you search the purchases.

If you see either of those as odd, then I pretty much don't get your viewpoint.

But sure, the next question is does Google explicitly USE that data in any other way. That's a different question, though.
Having Google as your default search engine or include Google's safe browsing inside your browser doesn't help with the monoculture threat either, but i guess mozilla thinks otherwise.
Recruiters use GitHub profiles as a proxy for engagement and, I would assume, amount-of-stars-in-pet-project to be used as a KPI in this measurement.

I think that's asinine but I don't make the rules.

That's not how I evaluate people when I'm doing the hire.
Sorry, I deleted that part once I was able to actually read the ruling directly (and not the blogspam about the ruling).

Portugal's tax authority has not actually yet ruled on the taxability of mining AFAIK, but is likely to rule that mining income is business income, and thus taxable, following the US reasoning on mining income.
The best rebuttal to the idea of 'deplatforming' is from John Stuart Mills, in On Liberty:

> “He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion... Nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them...he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.”
> The easiest way to identify a monopoly is to look at how badly a company can treat its customers and still get away with it.

+100 This has been my feeling ever since I first started using the android SDK. Google put the developer very low on the priority list, but, at the same time, the end user is also very low on the list.

The only people high on the list appear to be Google shareholders and the Google employees who work on android.

Perl 6 was a huge mistake; it's a different language and should have never had the same name. I support renaming it so we can all forget about it and have Perl 7 be a direct, mostly backwards compatible descendant of Perl 5 with feature enhancements. This whole Perl 6 nonsense was the reason I jumped to Python many years ago.
Sorry - I did not mean to contribute to BS drive-by comments. I will refrain from doing so in the future.

Apologies.
Hey Yodon, here's a list:

1. You don't have to do a massive marketing campaign to raise finance, because you're not raising finance.

2. It's not an everything or nothing roll of the dice.

3. You don't even need to raise finance - the investment of expertise and time by you and your contributors should remove most (most) of what you'd normally spend money on.

4. You don't have take on any financial risk - the risk comes to you and your fellow contributors in the form of wasted time if your product flops.

5. You get help actually building your product - from contributors who you find or find you.

6. It creates an equitable payment structure where you and controbutors get paid based on how much everyone contributes.

Hope this helps to explain the concept a little better.

There's a video here which explains it well I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHHvJzUGpCM

A similar build is arturo182's Handheld Feather Wing, which uses a Blackberry Q10 keyboard [2]
Though it doesn't have a processor of its own it can be plugged into Feather compatible boards that do (like @groguard's Giant Board, which runs Linux [3]). Makes quite a nice package!

I ended up going the other way and building a (split) 60% keyboard with a screen and a Pi in the middle [1]. It's long enough that you can sling it over your shoulder on a guitar strap, so it somewhat fails the pocketability test.

No, because (in the US) when you buy something with Bitcoin that's a taxable event and you're supposed to calculate the capital gain. Bitcoin is not cash-like for taxes.
The FDA approves that ingredients are “safe” to consume but the label is often used to imply the FDA has approved the ingredient for whatever health claim the manufacturer has attached to the supplement.

Pretty much the same idea for those polymer plates. the differences is that the printers have a z axis to make 3d parts while Polymer plates specifically make parts of a fixed thickness.
I've typically had a beard, because I hate shaving. Or rather, because I have both a bristly beard and sensitive skin. And no, shaving every day for years didn't "toughen up" my face.
The problem with that idea is that the insides of stars is full of other non-transparent stuff that photons strongly interact with.

The chances to interact is proportional to the cross section, which for an electron is around 0.6 barn. In comparison, the cross section for photon-photon interaction was measured as 70 nanobarn, so there's a factor of 10^8 difference in probability of interaction. Photons doesn't outnumber electrons by such factors.

Further, there are plenty of atoms in the outer layers of a star, and these have something like another 10^8 advantage over electrons.
Hey, thank you kindly for this. I hope so too! I need to do a relaunch on Product hunt actually, did one a while ago and it kind of flopped. Need to get into that routine of constantly launching (rather than doing just one big launch.)

If you ever do decide to post a project on there, get in touch and I can try to help out where I can.

Just downloaded Firefox again for the first time in ages...what's lame is that some G Suite / Apps / Mail features are only available in Chrome forcing me to use Chrome for work..
Really like GCR, I've used it on a few projects. I thought about using Lambdas to serve this as well, but wanted to have zero moving parts (i.e. why spin up a whole cloud function if I can avoid it?). I also very much did not expect this to be a Process!

Even with Cloud Run et al, you still have to think about about subdomain routing. So it cuts out all of the garbage w.r.t s3 redirects, but, e.g. DNS and CloudFront (or router-cache equivalent in your cloud provider of choice) are still on the table.

For simple things like this, I'd honestly just recommend Zappa + Lambdas over a more complicated platform like Cloud Run, running a simple Flask server, serverlessly. But... Moving parts. So... See above. I digress.

It probably is since all of these services serve to alienate you from your fellow human beings in pretty insidious ways. I bet he is much more present and interesting. I stopped hanging out with people who could only regurgitate their social media lives in conversation and nothing else.
I have extensive (bad) experience with exFAT implemntation on other platforms than Windows. My external disk formatted as exFAT gets constantly corrupted (need fsck), when used on macOS and Linux. On Linux I use this Samsung's exfat-nofuse kernel driver on raspberry pi. ExFAT fs is mounted read-only and still get corrupted.

So I don't share the excitement with most folks here. Until driver gets better, exFAT is not rock solid option for sharing data between OSes.

I really like what Brave is doing. I wish it was built on Firefox instead of Chromium. I just don't see myself leaving Firefox without major upheaval in the browser space.
The biggest problem with google is not the JavaScript but the fact hat if they delete your account you lose everything including YouTube, gmail, saved stuff, etc. and appeal is virtually impossible. Anyone that relies on google accounts is at risk of having their account closed for arbitrary reasons.
Sure, this isn’t a popular opinion around here but I find all of these theories such nonsense. Creationism, to me, is a lot kore logical than a random big bang - fast fwd apes / fast fwd humans. So many random events with hardly any logic attached to it. Humans have grown to be so full of themselves, especially in this tech age, where a lot of us find it hard to believe there’s a more intelligent being out there that could have placed us here in the first place. Human arrogance is destroying us from the inside.
Probably to learn about how ASTs and React rendering work.

I've had thoughts about writing a WebGL backend so I could describe a scene graph with React; this would probably be a good stepping stone to learn how to do that
This would probably be wrong. If you're mining, you're doing it as a business since it's a regular activity intended for profit, so mining income would very likely be business income. There's almost no way you can mine crypto without doing it regularly or intending profit.

Business income is taxable.
I've been evaluating PM/bug-tracker apps lately. I'm in a unique scenario, maybe an interested party could give me some guidance:

I build WP sites for a local design agency (my client) who designs the theme for their client. I have 2-3 subcontractors that I work with to build these sites.

Building the site needs to be managed like a "project". Once launched, I want to give my client AND their client the ability to create tickets for any post-launch issues. I need these users to be "siloed" into organizations so that they can't see bug trackers for other clients. I need my subcontractors to be able to see tickets from projects they're approved to see.

I want the ability to create tickets via e-mail, sometimes from my client, other times directly from their client.

JIRA + Service Desk seems to give me everything I want, but the admin menus for their "classic" templates (i.e. Service Desk) are daunting. Lots of settings that (IMO) should be "global" are instead per-project. The only way to share these settings is to clone an existing project.

We've got ~12 sites that we're managing, and to make a "tweak" to one setting means having to go tweak that same setting 11 more times.

Is there any system smaller/simpler than JIRA that meets these needs?
>In general, most Google services require running nonfree Javascript code. If you refuse to run that (for instance, by running LibreJS), you'll see that you should not use those services.

Well, I use Google Maps just about every single day so Stallman's advice banning Javascript is way too hardcore for me.

But for sake of discussion, let's entertain what he's suggesting. What are the most practical alternatives to avoid Google's Javascript maps in 2019?

- other websites like Bing Maps and even openstreetmap.org also don't work without Javascript

- using local software like old CDROMs of map software means I'm using data that's 20 years old because no mainstream software publisher (e.g. Microsoft Streets, DeLorme, etc) is selling it and only cover a region instead of the entire globe. Also that CD software is proprietary and not free-as-in-libre.

- using folding paper maps like Rand McNally have similar problems to CDROMs -- the maps are old and more cumbersome.

- other alternatives I overlooked are ... ?

Inevitably, this leads to the condescending question... "How did we get by _before_ Google Maps?!?"

I got by in the past by making the usage of maps more inconvenient.

EDIT to replies about OpenStreetMap: Last I checked, OpenStreetMap doesn't have publicly accessible satellite images or 3D/birdseye views or street-level 360 degree views. Openstreetcam is missing a lot of roads. I use that type of photographic imagery even more than the line drawings of streets. Is there a practical non-Javascript alternative for that data?
I don't use these places but if you don't like shaving every morning, it's more convenient to pop in there time to time to correct it. When it's messy, you're still fashionable at least for now not unhygienic or lazy.
Brave developer here. Great question! Brave Ads are entirely opt-in, and work via on-device machine-learning. The machine-learning bits study your browsing habits in a private, non-leaky manner.

Once a day, your device downloads an aggregate catalog of many ad options to be studied locally. If/when an ad is found that fits your interests (as inferred by your browsing habits), the ad is displayed as an OS notification and 70% of the ad revenue is deposited into your in-situ wallet.

So on the topic of targeting, Brave is able to deliver a better experience for Advertisers and Users, without the need to leak user information across the Web. The on-device ML bits learn about their user over time, delivering a better experience with maturity.

I hope that helps!
If you read up on the program it's more geared towards allowing customers to fix their own issues, and less of "lets go back to reliance on independent repair stores".

It also tells me Apple is comfortable enough with their services revenue to stop desperately pushing for increasing device sales every quarter.

I have a 3 year old phone (iPhone7+) but barring some really new awesome features I'd be happy to continue spending on the Apple ecosystem (music, apps, subscriptions, etc) and service the old phone - though if the new offering is nice, I would probably upgrade too.
I know I read articles about that (much like the right to repair articles with respect to CAT heavy machinery), was there any legal action against any of the printer companies you know about? If I recall the outcome correctly I believe the printer companies lost the fight, but I don't know/remember if that was voluntary or court ordered.

As it relates to printers/cartridges unlike my car manufacture/gas hypothetical or the app store, I could potentially see certain IP (from patents to trade dress) rights that may actually help the printer companies argument (but again I think they backed down anyway).
With a straight shot, latency from one coast to the other is at least 50 ms [0]. A more typical route is on the order of 80 ms.

That's definitely noticeable for latency-sensitive actions. I recently switched a server from Oregon to New Mexico, and I notice the latency increase with mosh.

Moreover, there's not a lot of timezone difference between the east and west coasts of the US. Going someplace like Europe is more like 180 ms.

I've played games with a ping like that, but a lot of the ping was my wifi. Doubling the latency would not make the game a better experience.

This could work well for certain types of game, those that are a little less latency-sensitive. But in general the latency is still a big issue.

[0]: speed of light in fiber is ~ 100e6 m/s, around 3000 miles between coasts

While I understand the moral absolute standpoint, he fails to state how he sees such free facilities being maintained. While in many areas this can be done by local councils and paid for via relevant taxation, or by requiring local businesses to provide free facilities as part of their requirements of doing business in the area, those options do not cover everywhere (and the latter will be fought hard by business lobbying groups).

I hope he isn't naive enough to expect to be able to rely on human nature meaning the general public will keep free facilities in good working order and in a sanitary state!

Correct. Once a user opts-in, machine-learning bits on the user's device take over and begin to study browsing habits and interests. These ML bits then decide what types of ads are likely to be of interest to the user.

To Stallman one of the only technologies that's ok is Emacs running in some linux distro where your wifi might not work out of the box.

Wired connections are also a problem for him as well since the provider has your identity and they can trace you.

Stallman's rants, while they might not be technically wrong, should be read in the context of someone whose mindset is not the most positive one.

No, quite the opposite. To clarify: this is the first time I've started using DDG on multiple devices and it's stuck. I'll rephrase: I think that DDG is still a few years behind Google's unadorned best-effort result set, but not that far behind Google's actual presentation today. I.e. Google's degraded itself so much as to make the competition viable for this search user.

>Microsoft, Apple and other OS makers will pretty soon ship you operating systems without admin privileges

That's actually how all mobile operating systems work right now. You don't get root (admin). The only way to get it is to jailbreak/root, which essentially involves running a privilege escalation exploit or patching the operating system. In any case it's definitely not as simple as "sudo" or "run as administrator". However, even without root, most users manage just fine. They can browse the web, edit documents, play games, and install whatever apps they want. There's no reason why this model can't be extended to desktop operating systems. You can't do it on mac/windows yet because of legacy reasons (eg. needing to install legacy drivers or apps).
Is there a different way to automatically pay based on how long I actually spend on a site?
Until Perl6 is actually released, it doesn’t really matter what they call it.

(yes, I know they have functional snapshot builds, but as long as there’s not a final "6.0" (or "1.0") release, expect most devs to steer clear of it. Few people (masochists, mostly) want to use an ‘experimental’ programming language for important work).
