It should be guaranteed at this point that there are zero days in both main cellphone platforms, apparently an endless number. They keep coming out, there is so much value in them commercially.

I want to push a view and wish it was more widespread in the software world that finding zero days and not reporting them responsibly (like time to fix by the vendor before publication) is unacceptable. The second part of this view is that it is immoral to work at a company where you find zero days and exploit them. Working at the companies that find these and end up selling them to dictatorial regimes, secret police, as well as to the Harvey Weinstein's of the world is wrong. As a software engineer in a western country I'm fortunate to have some choice in my employers, as many of us do. My choices have some reflection on my character - and like everyone else, I'm hardly perfect myself.

There are legal and illegal activities, and companies hide behind "we only sell to countries where it's legal". It's still immoral and wrong, and I don't want to work with immoral developers. Doing this kind of stuff is not the ultimate scarlet letter - but if you are working this field, please consider the impact of your actions.

Having better outcomes than the other for-profit pharma down the street, thus more customers, thus more money. Of course, if there is no competition at all then the incentives change, but this is not (yet?) the case.

> have a cigarette that will go out if you don't drag on it for 30-60s

Have you smoked a cigarette recently (as in at least the past 10 years)?. This is absolutely what they do. I'm not sure what the exact flame out time is for any particular brand, but it's a real drag (ahem) for people who like to smoke slowly, as the first re-lit hit feels very harsh.

According to Wikipedia[1] fire-safe cigarettes are required in all 50 states as of 2011. It's been awhile since I've smoked but I remember me and my friends bitching about the fire safe paper many years before that. We also theorized that it was making the cig more harsh in general. Of course we never had any evidence of this.

I might be wrong about this, but it seems to me that simple paper + tobacco hand rolled cigs natural behavior would be to not flame out, or do so much more slowly. What's stopping it from continuing to burn?

No, "gray-700" doesn't mean it's 70% gray. The term "700" is just referring to a color on a scale. I don't even need to name it "700", I can name it "dark" or whatever I want (which is what previous versions of Tailwind used).

i.e. "text-gray-dark", or "text-gray-700", would have a class with a single css property:

color: #4A5568;

By default Tailwind comes with a default color palette with hand picked colors. They were hand picked by a designer, not determined through an algorithm.

NVidia's grasp of the market is stronger than people realize. AMD video cards are comparable on a technical level, but they struggle immensely on the software side. NVidia has built a competitive advantage over those many years of total domination, resulting in better support for most games, more advanced features, more stability, etc.

Most people keep the same IP address for months. Your machine can update the address a public domain or subdomain points to on the rare occasion it reboots. If content is cached by hosts that have previously viewed it then this wont even cause an interruption.

With IPv6 one would suppose that it would be easy to keep the same address given that there is virtually no chance that anyone could accidentally be assigned it.
I love people who call capitalism evil while doing so on computers and phones that exist because of it, while surrounded by products, from their clothes to their desk, furniture, construction materials, cars and more that are the product of the system.

Or politicians who do the same while speaking into a microphone and a camera on a stage with lights and a broadcast system that is the result of capitalism and entrepreneurship.

It’s easy to be critical of something while not having to suffer the consequences of not having that thing. Even worse, proposing imaginary solutions without ever having lived under that reality at all. The latter is the socialist utopia Bernie Sanders is selling. We have friends from nearly every real Socialist nation in the world. They can’t believe people like Sanders and Warren are not being laughed out of politics in the US. Even worse, they are horrified they are given the time of day as presidential candidates. All of them actually escaped to the US from the very things these people want to implement in the US. Bloomberg, Biden and Mayor Pete are the only reasonable people in that race, with Bloomberg being a massively better candidate than all of the rest.

This totally collapses for most real world uses of identity. If it's used for anything important then you need to be able to recover your identity if your house burns down with your keys inside or you lose your passphrase due to brain injury (or you just forget). You need centralization for most real-world uses of identity.

Could you have an identity where if the above happens you just start over? Yes, as long as it's not "too" expensive. But if you make it too cheap you risk Sybil attacks. So your identity system can't really be used for reputation. What's left? Not much IMO.

Timestamping use cases like 'I created this work of science/art at this time and I can prove it' are good, especially if you broker with an agent that can reliably and securely store keys. Identity is hard IMO.

Yeah, but that goes against the rules. In civilized conversation, your only choice is to use incomprehensible euphemisms. He did a really great job - there is no kind of dog-whistle or outright strange language ("the urban crowd"). Perhaps he could have wrote 'normal french', but that's honestly a minor gripe.

You really have no choice but to phrase yourself in a way that's only recognizable to the in-crowd. Even here, with the polite expression, he is catching flak.

Personally, I don't discuss politics in real life anymore. Risks are too great. Just the Internet, where on some forums (not this one), you can be honest about what you think.

Nothing prevents the dividend from being offered upfront. It would be trivial for most governments to finance this.

Ask someone living paycheck to paycheck if they'd take $500 now in exchange for higher (but less than the $500 they get) costs on certain items. Most people living paycheck-to-paycheck are not the biggest consumers.

How is that different from any other css? I'd argue any css solution would have this problem with components.

Derek Sivers' Happy, Smart, Useful–Are You Doing This?
I'm a big fan of Derek Sivers, and his simple idea of 'Happy, Smart, Useful' when making big life/career decisions makes total sense to me.

But I'm wondering: is anyone else out there making this concept work? And more importantly: how did you go about finding what's 'useful to others' and where it overlapped with your 'happy' and 'smart'?

Here's the link to the (short) explanation by Sivers:

If your cryptocoin is centralized, it's not really a cryptocoin, even if it's listed on a cryptocoin exchange.

Incentivizing consumers to charge EVs at night only makes sense right now because of surplus base load capacity on the grid from nuclear and fossil fuel power plants. As the generation mix shifts more toward solar and wind it will eventually make more sense to charge during the day. The key will be to embed smart agents in EV chargers and other power hungry devices so that they can dynamically choose when to activate based on spot prices.
I have been using tailwind on a new project and I only see 3 real benefits over using inline css styles:

1) Sizes are standardized in a predetermined set of discrete size classes. So you start to think about sizes, padding, margins, etc in terms of steps instead of values. You can change the steps in one place and they apply globally. It's a little easier to standardize a rough style guide compared to starting from scratch.

2) Colors are standardized in a similar way. You just need to configure your app's core colors and then you can just think in terms of steps instead of color values.

3) You have a smaller set of "best practice" means to achieve most outcomes compared to all that's available with css. You don't need to know the best way to do what you want, you can just browse the documentation to find what you want.

Outside of that, you still have to use @apply to collapse utility classes into more semantic classes if you want style changes to cascade (tailwind recommends using components or view partials to achieve this instead of via css classes, though this would work equally well with inline styles)

The styles are very verbose, just like with inline styles. They are only slightly shorter than inline styles since they are basically abbreviated forms of inline styles.

You can still do everything tailwind does for you by using your own style guide and building out css classes, but tailwind gives you a head start.

It feels like it makes you more productive in the beginning because you get a toolset with a lot of decisions already made for you, but I suspect it will make things a bit slower as the app gets more complicated.

I wonder if there's a single one of them who was legitimately interested in the protocol and technological aspects and "making the world a better place" and was not just looking to get rich quick.

Is there any real reason these exist except for the ultimate motive of making people believe they'll become richer, like 2012-era Bitcoin actually caused, and proceeding to profit off their ignorance?

If not then it makes a lot of sense that a sizeable amount of people would preach nonesense for months. They'd believe there's compensation for them waiting at the end of it all.

And it doesn't even need to end in having cryptocurrency-of-the-month being exposed as a scam or anything. People can just believe it didn't work out this time and continue searching for an IoT-enabled 2012-era Bitcoin that in the future will likely never exist.

I know it's cliche, but money corrupts. This is probably another manifestation of that with what improved technology now allows us to accomplish.

Unless we can point to a policy change then "Trump has to go for anything to happen" seems reasonable, doesn't it? If the gains are from coal's decline, it seems reasonable to be worried that won't be enough.

The sidecar pattern has always looked too complex to me, back in the days of using consul over docker swarm. I was just happy once I managed to get the consul DNS server to respond to service queries, and that's when I stopped, once I realized maybe I did not need that complexity, even though it made many things transparent.

I wonder how that complexity has changed over the last, let's say, 3-ish years?

Keybase also uses in the range of 600MB-1GB, and 8 processes, most of which don't exit when you exit the application. I'm not sure what Discord uses because I only run it in the browser, but I'm sure it's in the same range as all of the above.

I've come up with a powershell snippet to fully quit keybase and reclaim ~1GB RAM:

Yep. When we first started playing by the published rules, we were surprised by how quickly games ended. Property auctions help too as it quickly gets most properties into play instead of players just going round and round the board while hitting NOP spaces.
They're fine if they're short. I'd prefer elimination to longer games where a couple clear leaders after lucky first couple rounds are the only ones who can plausibly win, which I've also seen in a few enlightened modern games. Best case for those games is you spend the remaining 80-90% of the game playing spoiler or kingmaker, which is kinda shitty, or in the worst case the game's designed such that you can't do much about it, so you're going through the motions to see if you can manage 3rd place out of 5 (or whatever) for the rest of the game.

Monopoly's pretty short if you play by the rules and everyone knows how to play and isn't screwing around. I don't really like it, but I don't think elimination is the main problem. It's not like world-conquest risk where it typically drags on forever, well after the first player elimination.

[EDIT] economy-building games with low interaction between players and a significant randomness component seem especially prone to "well that player happened to go first and got the only good thing available to buy this round so has its benefit the rest of the game, and will proceed to stomp everyone else, obviously". There's a particular cards-based game with an age-of-sail trading vessel theme I've played several times that's my (least) favorite example of this: I've won, I've lost, both are fucking boring because you spend most of the game knowing where you're going to place and you can't even rage-harm other players out of boredom. Drawing a blank on the name. Anyway, I'd much rather be eliminated in a game like that.

This is just like when Google Maps was blocked on Windows Phone[1] and when they decided to block YouTube as well[2]. Microsoft now finds themselves in the same position their competitors found themselves in the IE6 era. Google is behaving, if anything, worse, and using its massive reach and user base to stifle competition.

This is deeply disappointing, and all the more reason Microsoft never should have adopted Chromium. They will eventually have to maintain a hard fork, the differences will grow such that they eventually have to increase their engineering spend on it to keep pace with just managing the rebases and patches or reimplement features themselves, and despite all the good will they had for the Chromium team they will see none of it returned by the larger Google/Alphabet corporation.

They should have based Edge on Gecko and invested money in taking marketshare away from Chromium so that the W3C/WHATWG can operate as intended with multiple implementations for a single specification. Instead they embraced the Chrome monoculture and were either treated in bad faith or the Chromium team mistakenly believed everything would be fine with a reset in relations. The result will be that Google retains a veto on web technology that competes with them for the next decade or more.

What sort of person is willing to murder a close relative and harvest their body for organs? I've never heard of that happening with anybody and an identical twin, even one raised apart from them. I think this is even less likely in the cloning for organs scenario given that you'd have to bring someone into the world and raise them from birth intending to murder them later.

Though of course if you can clone just a liver, say, that's a different issue and that might very well be the main source of clonings in the future.

The analogue of the OR operator in set theory is the union operator. People think of them as basically the same thing because of the correspondence between a property and the set of things with that property. If A is the property of being either B or C, then the set of the things that are A is the union of the set of things that are B and the set of things that are C.
In the large, it's extremely unclear that everything you've named is a side-effect of capitalism or other effects (such as network effects; hard to predict whether a critical mass of invention in any one location would kick off the kind of technology revolution that has occurred regardless of the form of government atop it).
>We know that exercise levels and diet can lower or increase inflammation.

I think it is extremely important to distinguish the types of inflammation. Exercise creates acute inflammation (for example the breakdown of certain muscle tissue in response to being worked) and the inflammation causes the body to repair the muscle, typically the resulting muscle tissue is improved. Whereas dietary inflammation, or inflammation caused by certain foods, is generally chronic and has damaging effects on everything down to DNA in the cells and this damaged DNA can get copied into new cells.

>So we have this sort of rare magic bullet when it comes to health, cognition and aging. Lowering inflammation won't fix everything of course, but it will lower your risk of pretty much everything.

You said it perfectly following this statement, it is simple but unfortunately that does not make it easy.
