ha. This comment really brightened my day (pun intended).

Thank you for that.
I don't know much about this stuff. Just watched that doco on Netflix, inside bills brain. It was the first I had heard of Nuclear power using depleted uranium, and that America apparently has enough depleted uranium to power the US for ~140 years or something.

I don't know why this isn't being pushed harder if it's safer and cleans up some of this waste.
I feel like we could all afford to ascribe "ourselves" a little more agency. There is a dark side to giving the people what they want (ie. make something people want) and that is that people want things that harm them, are shortsighted, are unsustainable, etc. You can either make those things or not but you cannot fight what people want with regulation, you can only make it harder or easier to access. There's a good argument that some bad things are too easy to access, and other good things are too hard to access, but there's no valid argument that people are subjects to issues like these.
Plex has 20 million users to Netflix 150million despite Netflix's far higher price. The public says Netflix is far more convenient.
Of course. I'm not talking about avoiding taxes, or skirting other laws. The issue here is simple privacy for the common law abiding people.
You are here now supporting past actions and intentions.
> in that vein it would be nice if blocklike had an import function to load scratch projects.

I actually played with a basic React app to do that and I scraped it for two reasons:

1) Practically Scratch projects are very visual beyond the code. They contain a whole lot of assets. After conversion, just the asset loading parts of the code looks scary. It is not really workable. (As a side note, Scratch IDE encourages duplication, and this also increases the complexity of the converted code).

2) Conceptually. The idea is to learn how to write code. So, use the exact pattern, but write it yourself...
Thank you kind stranger. Haven't heard of it but maybe I'll give it a watch. The synopsis sounds about right

So this activist has somehow profited from his “hacktivism” and he wants to spread his wealth to other activists?
It can be a real struggle
Seems to be happening to VR right now...
I was once in Beijing for work when there was a big communist nation powow there at the same time, in early March. Laos, NK, etc in attendance.

The sky was clear during the meeting, and after, visibility quickly dropped to 100 ft
That is absolutely bananas
Taken on its own merits, I would indeed consider MPL 2.0 inadequate as a general-purpose copyleft license. Formally, you could argue that it's even weaker than the API Copyleft terms. As such, it's hard to recommend MPL for a project standing alone.

It understands, however, its position as a compromise which makes the underlying goal of its approach to copyleft untenable. Despite that, tries to preserve the ability to incorporate downstream changes through one degree of separation. The difference in expectations is palpable. The implied flow for publishing derivatives of MPL work is to distribute also under MPL, with the option of separately licensing non-Covered Software presented as a concession to tightly define the scope of the license. The implied flow for publishing derivatives of API Copyright Licensed work seems to involve carefully considering how much you can get away with under the listed exceptions, with the option to not share alike presented front and center.

The distinction is essentially irrelevant to anyone approaching licensing from a legalistic perspective, bet defaults matter for everyone else.
Saying that coal ash is "more radioactive than nuclear waste" is too ambiguous. There are many kinds of nuclear waste with varying degrees of radioactivity. I assume there are also variations in the degree of radioactivity in coal ash. It might be meaningful to say that a particular kind of coal ash is more radioactive than a particular kind of nuclear waste, but without that context it's a meaningless comparison.
I still have a hard time believing this is legal, but I had this confirmed on the phone today.

Of course it also blows my mind it’s legal to use an SSN as a form of id, so maybe I am setting my expectations for corporate america too high (ie off the ground at all).
> all the shitty SOHO routers that don't/can't bridge wired and wireless networks so broadcast and high level discovery/advertising are completely useless

If you assume basic _routing_ doesn't work, why do you assume a TCP connection from one to another would work? If an AP implements client isolation (as many home models do now for "guest" networks) broadcast would be the only thing that works.

Pretty much every printer you buy now uses Bonjour for printing, so your average SOHO router is going to make sure that works.

I can't fault them, at one point I thought this was the right way to do autodiscovery on a LAN too. Then I learned from my mistakes.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to check them out. I use the Howard Leight MAX-1 and they're very comfortable.
This sucks. I live with music but when I feel really bad, I no longer listen to music, to avoid tainting it. Now, days when I feel bad are quiet.

Though I mostly enjoy travelling back in time through music, including to high school. Fortunately these years were not traumatising for me. Specific songs are particularly strong for that.

Some songs are strongly associated with specific emotions that were not very enjoyable at the time, but are strangely comforting...ish today. I hope someone gets this and formulates it better / differently. This is probably a kind of nostalgia, but not really in the sense that it was better back in the day.
Reading his post, I don’t see anything suggesting that he hates ML as opposed to companies over-promising what the technology is capable of.
They’d get him on the Computer Fraud & Abuse Act. Because the unit is a government computer, and he is tampering with its operation.

But seriously, how the fuck is this not subject to both 4th & 5th Amendment challenge? Can someone point me to whatever brain-dead Supreme Court judgment that somehow allows this nonsense?
Honestly, I wouldn't trust Google (or any other tech giant) to be my bank.

My bank doesn't have a history of locking people's accounts when they post "the wrong" political opinions online.

My bank doesn't have a plan to monetize access to my account, or to limit use of the account to only those activities of which the bank's army of woke employees approve.

I think I'll stick with a real bank, thanks.
Sorry where are you seeing that from that link?
downloaded it, it seems only works for cmake or you have to have a json database, stop here for now. I would think it can analyse the code directly, as source-navigator did to me. the UI looks shiny, but as far as usability goes, this requirement of cmake/compile.json is one step backwards to me.

HL2 was a flagship for a newer game engine. The physics and details were amazing when it came out, and then you had other games and mods like Garys Mod that was just an amazing sandbox of the engine in the game.
That is not at all how the money multiplier works.

Yep. And that helps many IQ tests to be biased (consciously or not) in favor of the interests (and assumptions) that create the tests. EG a written test will inaccurately 'measure' the abilities of people who (for whatever reasons) can't read well. Those who are well-fed and -slept, secure, unfraid, healthy, and enjoy lots of educational opportunities will arrive for the test with an advantage.
I was wondering the same thing, they even got rid of an entire lake.
I see now. You alone are the arbiter what constitutes true news. Everything else propaganda aimed at specific outcome.

It may come as a surprise to you, but even your cherished Fedex stock report is a piece of propaganda aimed at specic audience ( investors ). It even has a singular political aim in mind.

Can you guess what it is?
thanks a ton for the much appreciated feedback... will make changes accordingly!
I didn't know about V, thanks for sharing it!

It's quite interesting, especially the support for Android and iOS later this year.
Looks like a 1-man project, with 152 contributors. I didn't know about Alexander Medvednikov, is there some link about his history and how he got that much traction for this language?
Your comment seems a bit tongue in cheek and you probably know, but anyway... Theoretically, the brain can get used to certain kinds of regular noise and filter it out, and then, if the disruption is a small sound that occurs irregularly... if you add constant white noise that's louder than the sound, then the sound should get quite literally lost in the noise.

There is an analogy to light that actually applies. Imagine a small green LED in your field of vision that flashes now and then. Might be distracting. But now imagine the room is 100x brighter than that small green LED. You might be unable to perceive the LED anymore. (However, if the problem is, as you state, that there is "too much light", then, yeah, adding more light wouldn't help unless you could somehow create destructive interference.)

Whether all this actually works for a specific person is a different matter. I personally hate listening to white noise, so that wouldn't help me. Perhaps other kinds of noise could work.
Not who you replied to, however modern taxation requires lots of information to work. For instance income tax works, because every employer is reporting how much they paid you. Then you report how much money you got paid, then factor in deductions such as specific contributions to charities etc. All of which are reporting to the Government at the same time.

Before the advent of computing and auditing it would be hard to tell if a blacksmith sold 50 or 55 swords. So income tax wasn't viable and instead taxation on lands were more common.

While I agree with your caution regarding Google, banks do indeed lock or close accounts for entirely opaque reasons, too, with little to no recourse!
It has a fair tinge of typical Polish-style pessimistic humor.
Oh, so not true. Banks often close accounts of types of people or businesses they don’t like at the moment. Just ask a PE/VC with a BofA account!

You just made me realise that it might be related to why I like to sit on the same side of the table as my wife when going out (apart from easier food-sharing).

I think there's this interplay between privacy and intimacy. I don't want to give too much to strangers but want to get close when I decide to.
Is it only me that feels like VR is too much of a niche market?

It's easy (and fun) to complain about the bad (or just weird) product experiences that banks regularly churn out. Believe it or not, most banks are trying their best. But as other commenters have noted, banks aren't staffed by technologists, so their choices for how to solve these problems begin and end with buying one of the available off-the-shelf software products. Spoiler alert, these products generally are both expensive and not very good.

If you want to understand the toolkit bankers have at their disposal, take a look at FIS, Fiserv, and Jack Henry. These three companies represent approximately $170 billion in market cap. Your interactions with your bank, whether it's a click in an app or a conversation with an actual banker, almost certainly bottom out with a call into one of these company's software systems. These systems are (almost) all mainframe software originally designed in the 1980s. Every product the bank delivers is built on this shaky foundation, which results in all sorts of workarounds and weirdness at every layer of the stack.

That all worked fine back in the '80s, but in the decades since, not only have our expectations changed (most bankers don't know what "API" stands for, by the way), but also banks' regulatory reporting requirements have expanded dramatically. Governments wants to know (very reasonably) that a terrorist or money launderer won't be able to make payments. But when you mix in the inertia of old enterprise software and the relative dearth of good alternatives, the result is a broken product experience (like the random velocity controls like @tlb cited above).

Being a bank is big and complex. And since deregulation and the Internet happened, being a bank is no longer about geography (remember branches?), it's about software and product. This seems like a pretty natural fit for a startup: break off a desirable chunk of the bank's customers and deliver a modern, specialized solution that's 10x better. There's ~$12 trillion of bank deposits in the U.S., that's a lot of market to go after.

Full disclosure, my company, Treasury Prime (https://treasuryprime.com/) sells software to banks so that we can expose developer APIs for banking. If you have a fintech startup and you need a bank partner with good, modern APIs, email me: jimbru@treasuryprime.com.
For a while they built computers to be servicable. See the ibook or the original unibody macbooks. It changed recently at least only in 2012.
It has been well-known in psychology for many decades (as well as film and TV production, and certainly advertising) that emotional states become indelibly associated with other things being experienced at the same time, despite there being zero "causal" connection.

The same way getting food poisoning after eating a certain dish (and vomiting it back up) can make you avoid the dish for years, even when cooked at home or at other restaurants where it's no more likely to make you sick than anything else.

Our "emotional" brain draws connections completely independently of our "rational" brain. There is extensive literature on this.

So this is one small example of that broadly established phenomenon.
I don't understand the author's claim that the sunk-cost fallacy has nothing to do with loss aversion because,
"...[loss aversion] requires a comparison be made between losses and gains." Any consideration of sunk costs is an implicit comparison against what might be gained by investing one's resources differently.
After watching this Tom Scott video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nh_vxpycEA I bought this CO2 monitor: https://amazon.com/gp/product/B00MB93CK8 It worked quite well and showed that I don't have anything to worry about. Now I'm trying to pass it on to someone else. I'll be willing to sell it for half price if anyone is interested.
Right, I'm aware of that though I may not have communicated the point effectively.

My read, and present understanding, is that the marshmallow test measures affluence-induced trust more than willpower.

(Though I suspect other factors continue to be at play, including environmental factors affecting cognitive development through chemical and behavioural dynamics, probably others as well. Complex system is complex.)
A few years ago I tried to make a project that would let kids write in a written language which would be parsed and translated into the XML Snap (a scratch alternative) uses. Then I'd embed the Snap runtime to run it. The basic parts worked, but I ended up giving up on the project.
I saw this some time ago... it is... bugged as hell. The premise is interesting, but it seems very veeery early to say anything.
They’ll generally accept a cashier’s check. Ours would also accept a personal one as long as you didn’t mind them delaying mailing the title for a few weeks.
Well, it can be isolating, but I've found it reasonably easy to meet people. Having put some thought into why, my idea is that I make myself available and I don't try to hang out with people who don't do the same or aren't fun. You need common ground outside of whatever reason you had for meeting the person. Also, Eastvan is alright and the skateboarding community is super good as two counter examples. I don't have many Chinese friends, but only because they don't happen to be part of the things I do. If you're playing the friend game like you might try and meet someone at a bar, you're not going to succeed too much. Likewise at work. If you meet someone on a hike or at a club or walking around your area hike, and then bring then to the bar, you might have better luck.
It’s so interesting to me that in some ways, it’s like old-school PHP (but very different and much better in others!)

Blazor has been on my radar for a while. I think it’s architectural choices and workflow are a boon to most developer shops!
Would you be willing to go into more detail on why banking is better in Europe? They seem to have their own problems, too.

J’ai donc commencé à diffuser le Cosplay Costume en janvier dernier et j’en ai trouvé assez pour me sentir à l’aise de publier un article sur tout ce que j’ai appris en cours de route! Je sais que je vais en apprendre davantage au fur et à mesure que je continue de diffuser mon travail, mais nous pourrons toujours faire un autre article plus tard en discutant de cela!

https://www.cosplay-field.com/

Pour bien commencer, fixez-vous un emploi du temps, même si ce n’est qu’une fois par semaine. Honnêtement, je le faisais et une fois que je me suis fait payer pour diffuser, je l’intensifiais jusqu’à deux fois ou plus par semaine. Essayez de garder au moins un peu de temps afin que les gens puissent essayer de rester à votre place.

Comme Gundam Wing était plus populaire aux États-Unis que la série chronologique UC, nous ne voyons vraiment pas une tonne de cosplays MSG ou MSZG.

Nous avons eu un peu de reconnaissance dans ces projets, ce qui m'a un peu surpris. Mais comme plusieurs personnes l'ont dit, on ne voit jamais les Boku no Hero Academia Cosplay Costume de Zeta, donc les gens étaient plutôt excités à ce sujet. Plusieurs personnes m'ont également demandé «Avez-vous vu Char?».

The article doesn't touch this, US-centric, but I feel worth mentioning is the EU's PSD2 (Payment Services Directive 2) which is driving a lot of consumer banking Fintech/Regtech.

An article from 2016 which I think gives the best tl;dr especially highlighting the roles of ccount Information Service Providers (from roboadvisors to replacements of traditional 3rd party transaction layers such as Visa) and Payment Initiation Service Providers (which essentially turn any traditional bank into a whitelabel product) https://www.finextra.com/blogposting/12668/psd2---what-chang...

The water and waste are pumped into a holding tank that needs to be emptied. You can empty it into the ocean if you are 3 miles off shore. Most people stay close to shore, so need to use pump out facilities to empty their holding tank. These are often free but not always, and from my understanding are not entirely pleasant to use.

Typical holding tank volume is 20-30 gallons. This is maybe enough for a week? We have a composting head so I'm not sure. Solid waste goes in a dumpster once a month and I think most people end up "peeing in the water". Which is technically illegal and some people think is bad, some don't.
The idea isn't really to push anyone to start a file-sharing website—it's not really a profitable endeavor. :)

The idea behind selling the source code is educational. There aren't many resources out there for folks who who've never built a web app before and want to see a complete one for reference.

As for Gumroad, it will go up for sale there soon, but the publicly available price will be 4x the winning bid amount, so if you want it, you're best off bidding. :)

Interested to hear about professional use cases for this kind of tool. I am working on a cloud-based sandbox browser very similar to the OP here: https://www.sandboxbrowser.com/

My target audience is software developers, QA engineers, and Ops people who want a predictable isolated browser environment for doing various forms of testing / hacking.
That example is a bit ridiculous. Yes, compounding is powerful. But there’s also inflation, and a single passively invested $1mm is never going to own the entire economy (if nothing else, returns would be distorted by scale).

That said ... this is the premise of some entertaining science fiction.
Will the coating break down in a Septic tank?

My parents use roof water, which is a limited supply so this product would be a great help, but they would be sceptical of any product that could harm the microbiology of the septic tank or that could harm the soil from the overflow.

I imagine they would prefer some sort of scientific facts rather than just marketing blurb (they are quite biologically geeky!)
