I spend a lot of time studying blockchain and Ethereum and wanted to clarify your remarks.

You need some sort of cryptocurrency for this as
microtransactions don't really work in the legacy
system.

Yes, you're right: Ethereum has lower transaction costs, lower non-monetary transaction costs, and ERC20 tokens are interoperable with other Ethereum-based services.

Also by using their own token they can boot strap
the ecosystem cheaply as they can mint the tokens
themselves with the value accruing later after
network participants are onboarded and transacting.

This is a common sentiment that I believe is incorrect: if a project could use ETH or USDC instead of its own token, but still function correctly, then that token is malpractice. Such tokens are a blight on the blockchain industry.

Projects like Augur and MakerDAO must have their own token or they wouldn't work at all. Augur and MakerDAO have healthy token economics.

I'm not an expert on BAT token economics, but I believe Brave would have been much better off using ETH itself or a stablecoin. afaik Brave's microtransactions don't require BAT to work and that makes BAT a bad token.
the term " pro " appeared (by my count) 56 times in the apple press release. Pro to me is now just a marketing term.
No, it's different. For instance, gift-giving is a really big deal in Asian cultures. It's not about throwing lots of money around, it's just showing that you're thinking of someone, so gifts can be very small and inexpensive. So gift-giving is certainly a valid love language, just like physical touch, words of affection, etc. Some people just really like to give their loved one small gifts, and some people really like getting them. They can be small clothing items, candies/food, whatever.

Diamonds aren't "small gifts"; they're absurdly expensive ornaments. Their primary purpose is so American women can show off to other women how much money their husbands have. It's a bit like having a really expensive luxury car: it's a signal to others to show you're rich, not a way for someone to show affection to another.

Edit: About Asian cultures, I'll also add, it's just just lovers. Coworkers will frequently get each other small gifts, or gifts for everyone on the team. This is usually small food items, not anything at all expensive. They might do this if they travel somewhere. I had an Asian (i.e., he had just moved from SE Asia for this job) coworker once give everyone on our team some nice variety of tea, for instance.
Benefits of Using a Private Number with AutoSender
I'm curious what the feature scope is here. From the screenshot it seems like it has Issues, Notification, and Feed support?

I can't imagine this would be used for code reviews/PRs.

This is type of manipulation. And in this context, this is defence

>Do you think Facebook and their ilk are the only actors who might want to hijack the cameras on your devices?

Nope. But for some reason fb can't do QA. At all

And this do most of the work for other "actors"

Why this happens?
In the specific case of the battery it's unlikely to get any bigger than 100Wh as that would make it illegal to take on planes in the US.
Whether they're struggling or not under their current revenue system (advertising) is irrelevant when you're talking about destroying their current revenue system (blocking ads) and replacing it with a new one (Brave rewards).

I've bought dongles/docking stations for all of these devices but it is a huge hassle when traveling, which is a use case a laptop should be able to excel at. Adding just a single USB-A port and HDMI would be a complete gamechanger for me. Apple wouldn't be able to sell as many of their $70 dongles though.
We know that boys and girls are conditioned by society to be more interested in certain fields than others. It's why my cousin asked me to get a robot for her son's birthday as opposed to a dress for her daughter. Do we want our biases embedded in AI? Or do we want a model that hopefully can eliminate some of the subjectivity that humans add (which in some cases we absolutely need)?
They get that IPC on a better process. Shorter gate delays let you pack more into each cycle. IPC can't be divorced from process when comparing architectures.
When I did it, I always had an external keyboard and used the numpad.
Humans really don't like to feel like their infinite potential is less than infinite. Pair that with the inherent feedback loop of bias in human controlled systems and viola! Never ending cycles of soul crushing but realistic statistical thinking, and glorious but idealistic "we can be free" thinking.
ah yes, this technique, with its lack of template inputs and way of (not) handling indentation is exactly what I mean.
I'd love to use this on Android. I could never get into habit of using food tracking apps, this looks very fast and elegant.
That’s an average price and mostly driven down by lack of data on users browsing the site and the mix of campaigns that bought, given retargeting campaigns can easily pay averages in the $5-10 CPM ranges depending on the campaign and users and data density. So the bad persistence of cookies is what largely drives this price to be low. Obviously anyone can choose how to take that.
That doesn't really follow given that LUT count has been increasing with Moore's law.

So, "we won't need to travel again because of videos calls" is not going to happen any time soon, it seems.

And public/private key validation may become invaluable.
But how else will they push their narratives?

Look at the language used:

They've literally managed to paint DeBeers diamonds as a victim! The level of self serving propaganda from Bloomberg is amazing.
For clarity: Since a ton more shares have been issued, the previous shareholders own much, much less of the company than they once did.
Ok, we've added $35M to the title above.
I disagree, there are many out there that are good at micro-transactions.

My personal favorite example is:

https://www.stellar.org/papers/stellar-consensus-protocol.pd...

Transactions take a few seconds, 10000 transactions per $.01 as well as no mining for coins so it is not a bad coin for climate change compared to say Bitcoin and the mining farms.

Just my $0.02
A Mac is like a BMW, flashy, expensive, and always in the shop for repairs.
It would not be static, but the rate of change would be much slower than it is right now. Raising the level of atmospheric CO2 by over 50%, which humans have done in the past hundred years, increases the greenhouse effect enough to cause rapid warming and sea-level rise.

You're joking. You realize this forum is filled with programmers and other digital creative professionals, right?
Ok - it seems like I need to rephrase the term, but I didn't mean any offence to anyone.
Yeah as long as gcp doesn't has a clear budget protection, I will not add my credit card to it as a private person.
I'm the opposite. All of my stuff uses USB-C except my MBP. It seems finally I can upgrade that as well. I hate bringing my MBP charge whenever I travel.
Yikes - don't a lot of financial institutions use your voice as a layer authentication?

It doesn't have to be about creating audio of specific text with <specific person>'s voice; it can be much more about creating audio of specific text with a wide variety of believable people's voices.

I could see this, if it becomes commercially viable, potentially being a huge boon to indie game creation, for instance, since hiring a load of voice actors to record the dialogue for an entire game is vastly more expensive than, say, hiring a bunch of different people to record their voices for 5 seconds—or even, if this ever took off, buying a bunch of samples pre-recorded (or networks pre-trained) for the purpose.

You have given good reasons to think about avoiding that model.

Lack of touchbar is not one of those good reasons.
Because you're probably not paying for 99% of the contents that your web browser loads.
Criticism:

#1 Brave advertise with privacy and speed while all they do is adding adblock.

#2 Brave replaces adds with their own adds. This basically means you get the same experience but cut off the income of the content creator entirely.

#3 Brave allows you to reward 3rd party sites. This system is so nice they even got legal issues as it was assumed as fraud.

#4 BAT. Brave advertise with consumer first. The best choice for the consumer would be Paypal. If there is an incent to stay with crypto currency Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Given Brave created their own crypto currency and base every model around that they can profit from Transactions/services with the currency too on top of the share they take when you use their add platform/feature.

Given the criticism its very hard for me to understand users sympathizing with the browser.
I haven't touched a new keyboard yet. But I found myself on my old Mac Air (The 1440*900 blurry version) typing away happier than ever because the butterfly keyboard are such failures.

Apple already has a giant touchpad. That's the sensible place to put the touchbar instead of breaking the Function keys.
This only used to be true. The state of the art of Ethereum has very effective microtransactions. This will improve again by orders of magnitude within the next three years.

For example, see https://comingsoon.idex.io/ which is state of the art.

> the web needs a new business model

Business model for whom? For Brave? Or for the website owner?

If the website owner isn't involved in this choice, then this is racketeering. And racketeering is an old business model.
So how do we go about hammering sites for their poor compliance? We can sit here and shake our heads, but unless there is a lever to make them behave this poor behavior will continue.
“Sabermetrics” for Recruitment – Testers Wanted
Wanted to get everyone's feedback. We are in beta for a new platform that puts job seekers in front of employers based on skills rather than your age, experience, college name etc.

It is "Sabermetrics" for Recruitment. It makes everyone equal and puts the power in the hand of the job seeker, rather than the employer.

We are currently developing the platform and we will be testing it in February. If you want to go on the waitlist for testing, please check out our site unicornemployees.com
The grocery removes the old, unsold apples, which includes both bad apples and good apples.

They--or at least the grocery businesses around here--do not take proactive measures to remove bad fruit of any kind. That is why I frequently see mold on fruits that have been purchased earlier in the same day.

I have seen enough of this to know not only that one bad apple will [eventually] spoil the whole bag, but also that one bad orange will ruin its bag, and one bad strawberry will embadden all the strawberries touching it, but that melons, potatoes, and pomegranates are still mostly good after you remove and throw out all the moldy parts.

Cops are more like oranges than apples. They go bad a lot faster in the presence of corruption.
I bought an HD antenna that gave me roughly 20 local channels with crystal clear picture and no buffering for $28 - no subscription. I'd highly recommend it for cord cutters to augment their streaming with local news and sports on national tv (world series, super bowl, sunday night football, etc).

Eh, you said it yourself "small number". Sure you can do it one time here or there, likely with heroic doses of coffee for the second 24 hour period.

But consistently doing this as described in the thread isn't "mania" phases of bipolar. It means one is on stimulants.

I like this, but it's primary draw for me might not be the expected stuff. Learning by building is a great method, but my problem is that I don't know what to build. This website can help me by providing me with a lot of options, simple -> complex. Great job!
Brave is unethical. The key problem is they insert themselves into the revenue stream without the consent of the web publishers. It's fine to block ads entirely, but substituting your own ads and collecting money from that is wrong.
And replaced the keyboard with a design that feels like smashing your finger against the desk repeatedly.
It is probably more cultural pressure rather than marketing. Especially if your mother, aunts, sisters, cousins, are all getting diamonds. It takes a special level of courage to go against the grain. The desire to "fit in" is strong.
But the ecosystem around dollars is so parasite-riddled that if you tried to move cents for each ad you didn't see, you'd end up paying more in transaction fees than would make it to the content creators that you're trying to support. The dollar has a scalability problem that BAT doesn't.

Is trading dollars for BAT on an exchange and then loading those BAT into your browser's wallet such a bad alternative?
The whole "developers use Mac" thing is not because Macs are better, its because when companies need to give their devs hardware, Macs are the least shitty alternatives.

For example, Amazon gives most of the devs Macs. However, they still use Amazon Linux (RHEL based) VMs for building and testing services, because the EC2s that run these services in prod are all RHEL based. Half of my time is spent in an ssh shell, because either half the shit doesn't work on Mac because of some native dependency, or because I don't want to run into some weird bug like I had due to the case insesitivity of the MacOs system where the code reads a file, but the same code doesn't work when its deployed to EC2.

And as such, there are issues galore with the computers. External display over usbc for presentations sometimes don't work and require a restart of the laptops, which takes 2 minutes for some reason even with ssds. Some USBc hubs fuck up SMC controllers, which then requires a reset, and others straight up fry computers. Copy and Paste on websites often doesn't work as intended. Wifi randomly drops out.

I dunno how the old Macbooks held up, but modern ones are a complete ripoff for what you get if you are spending your own money on one.None of these issues are present on my personal $300 laptop running Linux Mint with minimal customization.
It can also mean some shareholders voluntarily gave up certain rights/equity.

I ran an information site for an Ethereum project[1] and was pleased to see that our first revenue came from visitors' BAT donations. It wasn't a lot of money. But, it was fully automatic and easy to use. Our site earned BAT before we even signed up as a publisher. I signed up to claim the money.

People had the exact same concerns when digital image manipulation software became popular, including the "we will never be able to trust an image again" question.

To answer your question, I think the biggest step we took in adapting to the ever-present risk that an image may have been manipulated is acknowledging that it's possible. As soon as people knew that something could be faked, they realized that having a purported photograph wasn't irrefutable proof that it happened and learned to ask for corroboration before making assumptions.

I think we'll learn to deal with this new development too.
Ah, my apologies for the misunderstanding. I was not aware of this. My point still stands, since relatively few people treat Spotlight as a discrete search engine. Its layout and features are not conducive to anything but the most elementary research. Moreover, it is not accessible through web browsers.

> I don’t think Apple releasing a server-side framework would help, as nobody would be using it.

Yeah.

I think something useful has a much better chance of coming out of the community than Apple. Let Apple focus on what they're good at and leave the server-side stuff to the people who breathe it every day.

This is a fair sentiment, but under a model where the user decides where ad revenue goes, who would want to host the ads? It has to either be the browser (like an extension that pushes toasts) or your desktop (same thing, different context).
You could argue that it's becoming like Pompei, but for sure it's nothing like Disneyland.
I'm sorry for the confusion. Go templates have piping which is how this is expected to be handled. There are functions of nindent and indent that handle the indentation. Inputs can be passed in. In fact, in the chart created using `helm create` this happen. For example, if you do `helm create foo` you can find snippets that read `{{- include "foo.labels" . | nindent 4 }}`. This includes a template, passes in `.` (the scope of variables for that template), and passes the output to `nindent` to get the needed indentation.

This is just an example and it's using go templates way of doing things.
I just checked: It's "his" :D

Your summary is wrong. When you write "select field" you are saying which field to return from the query. When you write "group by field", you are saying that you want the query to group by that field when generating query results. You are not writing anything twice, you are writing two different things.

I'm with you. I hate debt and don't mess with it. My cars were all purchased in cash and I live well within my means. But I like to keep in mind not everyone is in my position in life.

IF the couple has paid their student debt, and IF they own their cars and house outright, and IF they have 50 to 100x the price of the purchase in the bank as savings, I say enjoy your money. As long as you aren't putting yourself in a position to become a slave to your debts over silly shinny objects, great for you.

Otherwise, I don't think such extravagant spending outside of this scenario would not pass muster of any rational, analytic reasoning, say, a la 'Judge Judy' or 'Suze Orman' (as she appears on TV when not talking about issues where she has a conflict of interest, just her regular advice)
I would have said that the companies who would most benefit of this is also be the company who should not outsource this.
But that's what video post-processing is for. You can do all the touch-ups in real time in software.
> You set a budget (e.g. 10 BAT/month), and Brave distributes it the sites you use most, e.g. if you watch a particular YouTube channel 30% of your browsing time, it will send 30% of 10 BAT each month to that content creator.

If you would own a video streaming service (a startup!) and some company started to pay your users for viewing ads on your platform in some MagicMoneyCoins putting your pocket outside the cash flow, what would you do?

If you would want to receive organic traffic from your ads and instead start to experience crazy stream of incentivized ad clickers with near zero conversion rate, what would you do?

Imo the answers to these questions are not that pleasant for Brave. Maybe I'm wrong of course, like the most of times.
