It's always better to start your experiments at a low intensity in a controlled environment before ramping them up. As we've seen with the bird box challenge, a ton of people have been injured for attempting to live ordinary days with blindfolds on. Also the isolation and sensory deprivation aspects are actually more intense with reduced activity.

Each person has different limits and each experience outside of your comfort zone pushes their own personal limits further. I think it's good that people want to learn about what their limits are as well as challenging those limits.
A simple solution would be creating an issue template [1] that just prefills the issue with a line like "I will pay $X for this feature via Paypal"

I see this a suggestion a lot and I can only assume the person making it hasn't been screwed by a company (sorry if you have, not trying to attack you). Unfortunately, the reality is that raising a stink won't do anything more than annoy the 1800 operators (if they don't have a button on their screen to give you what they want, it is impossible for them to do it for you, no matter how persuasive you are).

Suing in small claims court is a) a massive ordeal (even without the lawyers) and b) a permanent, public record that you can legally be discriminated against for

In my experience your only real recourse is a chargeback (which, to be fair, will almost always work), but that only is an option for a few months after your purchase.

Actually, for Apple, this might just be in the sweet spot of placating techy FOSS people who want more freedom, and being cumbersome enough that almost no one outside this group will use it.
The title could just be “coroutines in C++, because of callback hell”.

Anti-encryption is a red herring.

The real fight is against general purpose computing. If I control my CPU, then I can easily implement the Diffie-Hellman algorithm and communicate secretly with my friends around the world. Any ban against encryption is ineffective unless it attacks general purpose computing. We live in scary times!
>Remember when the Internet was actually pleasant?

That was went it wasn't useful for normal people. You don't want to go back in that time. Most people browsing this site wouldn't have the job they currently have without popularization (and thus pollution) of the Internet.

>left us with (...) music options worse (...) personal audio libraries.

This has to be hyperbole, right? My music library has exploded since I signed up to Spotify. I get exposed to new artists and genres pretty frequently. Way more often than in the days of sneaker netting mp3s. Not to mention that I get this all legally and guilt free.
I can submit my projects but who will be browsing them? How many people will actually go into your app to search something.

hello
For ease of maintenance and portability I think markdown is really the king of formats for blog content. Are you writing the posts in HTML? Why are you intermittently using <span> for paragraphs and to wrap other elements?
> the Internet was actually pleasant? When it was nice to build stuff for others to use?

The internet was not pleasant, it was chaotic and that s what made it so fun. And yeah there's nothing like building stuff on an open platform that nobody gatekeeps. A feeling lost for an entire generation of developers now.
I'd also add Jeremy Ethier for the highest production value videos I've comes across, which typically include insights from research in the flow of the video, and which use nice overlay 'explainer graphics,' which make it easier to understand his detailed breakdowns of muscle-targeting, desired motions/angles etc.

Here's an example where he's talking about developing strength to get your first pull-ups: https://youtu.be/3YvfRx31xDE?t=75

Great source for problem solving specific issues that come up in strength training.
Trying to figure out if that works with Steam on Linux.

Yep. That's the point. You have the option to use something with a more liberal license, develop something yourself, or pay for it.

Yes, maybe at the end of the day I lose out to potential suitors, customers, collaborators etc. but that's my choice.

+1. Justification is something that you feel like you should do to have "nice layout" but it hinders readability according to many studies.

- How does this work and simultaneously protect the secret ballot. For example how do I as an outside audit it if I can't check the a vote for foo wasn't counted as a vote for bar. I know in theory you could provide a means for THEM to verify it and again you have broken the secret ballot and they can prove to others how they voted.

- With one technology used to secure the entire election on which hinges trillions of dollars and control of the most powerful military in the world how do you know that a singular exploit wouldn't allow you to forge the election.

- Given that the functioning or non functioning would rely on crypto instead of things people understand like counting marks on paper how would you ever expect regular people to trust it?

It appears this study shows that the majority of suspects for crimes are immigrants, which is an important distinction. I have no knowledge about the situation in Sweden, but in Germany there are known statistical problems like immigrants both having a higher chance of becoming suspects ("Tatverdachteffekt") and crimes where an immigrant is suspected are more likely to be reported ("Anzeigeeffekt").

Stastistics about suspects are most commonly used in studies like these because the police, due to the seperation of powers, usually has no or at least less statistics of the actual results of charges.
Just because you made something cool doesn't mean you are entitled to make any amount of money from it. The world doesn't owe you anything. Even if you make something useful to people, that doesn't mean you are entitled to live rich. More than likely your solution is just good enough that people don't feel the need to make their own, but not good enough that no one can't compete with you.
Nicely put. I appreciate you taking the time to be civil. Such a rareity these days. A nice change from being insulted for daring to think different. For what it's worth I have evaluated some of my premises based on our exchange here. Thank you.
Vith Vizio data you get a log whenever user use its remote to (un)pause, go forward, or change channel.
I'm not sure LoRa has enough bandwidth to send the usual data. However, it is still possible to send a lightly simpler data (not doing ACR on everything, but identify channels only)
But would it worth it right now ? Until a large portion of buyers disable (now or in the next few years) the full data collection, it seems unlikely to me.
> Seriously. What's the point of open source if companies just steal it, build billion dollar industries on top, and then lock everything down?

I work on pg8000 https://github.com/tlocke/pg8000 which is used by Amazon, Google etc. I'd argue that pg8000 and any Open Source software doesn't give them a competitive advantage, because in order to have a competitive advantage you have to have something that your competitors don't have. It's more that they'd be at a competitive disadvantage if they didn't use Open Source software.

That's not to say there aren't problems with the big tech companies, but I'd say that Open Source isn't where the problems lie. In my view the problems stem from the nature of the web, in that it is a centralized architecture that inevitably concentrates power. Something like IPFS https://ipfs.io would help liberate the web?
That's definitely an option, but there are some missing elements doing it that way.

Payment should be held in escrow so the developer knows the money is available and the requestor knows he will get is feature before the funds are released. It would also be nice if funds were released automatically when the issue is closed, and that paid issues cannot be closed without approval from the user paying for the feature.

Also, in keeping with the spirit of open source, developers could/should only request payments on feature requests that the developer doesn't benefit from.
A couple of "favorite" exceptions not on Wikipedia:

House numbers are usually of the form 1-2-3. Places with just two numbers are common, they haven't caught up with the "new" law from the 1962 yet.

Numbers are often written without suffixes, but in most places with three numbers the suffixes are 丁目-番-号. In one city - Wakasa in Fukui - the last two are reversed. I have never been able to find any mention of this at all, let alone why it would be the case.

Some cities are laid out in a clock pattern with slices named after animals of the Chinese Zodiac.

Neighborhoods are typically divided into blocks with numbers (or the number is omitted if there's just one block). But as addresses change over time, sometimes just one block goes away, so there are many places where block 1 no longer exists or there are gaps in the numbering.

On Yahoo Answers I once saw a person who was confused after their local post office adamantly told them one of their two or three numbers had a hyphen in it (so it was like 1-(2-3)) because it represented two joined lots, but that shouldn't be possible.

Mail is always complicated... I worked at a mail store in high school in the States and remember shipping some weird stuff.
Very few food crops are grown in hydroponics, and when they are, it's quite likely they have higher nutrition content than their conventional commercial crop counterparts.

As one of the generational old school farmers in exile, I'm quite aware of how food is produced. Most of it that you eat in unpleasant industrial settings but not the hydroponic greenhouses you imagine, and if not, in a way that exploits extremely poorly compensated labourers to do things machines haven't been perfected for yet.
Seems that they forgot to strip debug information. Clearly this is lack of *nix dev skills.
Taste is subjective only to a very small degree. Most people would dislike the taste of rotten meat or spoiled milk. If taste would be fully subjective it could serve no purpose and there would be no reason for its existence.
> This makes producers use [...] no pesticides

Ask yourself: do you have a choice? Are you really able to buy all products for any meal - really, any meal - that they were not treated with pesticides?

Another interesting question: is it possible to buy anywhere (even on the Internet) non-GMO corn? You know, the original one, created by nature which were possible to have 200 years ago?
The way I see it, the landowner is exploiting the workers and not paying them the just price for their labour.
Thanks, that led me to this intriguing origin story from Christine Peterson, involving some advanced people skills: (my italics)

"Between meetings that week, I was still focused on the need for a better name and came up with the term "open source software." While not ideal, it struck me as good enough. I ran it by at least four others: Eric Drexler, Mark Miller, and Todd Anderson liked it, while a friend in marketing and public relations felt the term "open" had been overused and abused and believed we could do better. He was right in theory; however, I didn't have a better idea... Later that week, on February 5, 1998, a group was assembled at VA Research to brainstorm on strategy. Attending – in addition to Eric Raymond, Todd, and me – were Larry Augustin, Sam Ockman, and attending by phone, Jon "maddog" Hall... Todd was on the ball. Instead of making an assertion that the community should use this specific new term, he did something less directive – a smart thing to do with this community of strong-willed individuals. He simply used the term in a sentence on another topic – just dropped it into the conversation to see what happened.... A few minutes later, one of the others used the term, evidently without noticing, still discussing a topic other than terminology. Todd and I looked at each other out of the corners of our eyes to check: yes, we had both noticed what happened... "

It died off really sharply when they started enforcing "username" instead of "anonymous" - previously posts just got a random icon/avatar next to the message.

FWIW, it was never pseudonymous or anonymous. You could retrieve persistent identifiers for everyone, including phone numbers, GPS, etc. if you sniffed the request. They logged everything, verified non-VoIP numbers, and all.

Digital networking on the HF and VHF ham bands has been around since the early '80.

The ban on encryption isn't to stop hams communicating, but to stop the commercial users taking over.

The licensing authorities allow Ham radio to exist only because it is self regulating. And self regulation can only exist if there is no encryption.

And FWIW there is an enormous amount of slow speed digital traffic on HF now. Mesh networking is also popular.
Even in the case of an investigation, there's the option for the authorities to request a time lag.

There's lot of options, we need to discuss this in depth weighing them all.
> I'm confused. Where in this comment chain does what you describe seem to be happening? The closest I can find is the great-great-great-great grandparent, which states “The guy had armies of white supremacist supporters and advisers. He told right-wing extremists to “stand by” on national TV.”

There was torrential, indignant outcry on my Twitter feed that Trump was literally sending the message to armed white supremacist militias to standby and that they would be called upon to take arms shortly.

But even that GP comment is a good example. "He told right-wing extremists to stand by" - is a partial truth at best. Either way, it's misleading. Why did GP choose the words "stand by" and omit the words "stand back"? Because s/he wanted to paint Trump as a racist, and the latter didn't fit the narrative. It's intellectually dishonest.

> At this risk of taking a bit of a tangent: it's not as if this is the only time his carelessness with his words and stubbornness to correct the way they were interpreted caused problems. In those cases too, we need to acknowledge both the cause and the effect. Accidentally causing damage and intentionally causing damage are distinct problems, but they're both problems — especially when you're the leader of a country.

In this respect, I agree completely. I'm not saying that puerile stubborness is somehow any better than militant white supremacy. If his speaking carelessly causes issues, it is certainly his responsibility to undeniably, unconditionally refute it.

My gripe is with the continual exaggeration, misrepresentation and outright misinformation from the anti-Trump brigade. Any facts which don't fit the narrative are conveniently discarded. It's not limited to Trump, either. Countless people described the Kenosha shooter as firing indiscriminately and unprovoked into a crowd, which is a patently absurd distortion of reality. Or the complete fiction that Nick Sandmann (the kid in the MAGA hat) approached the Native American guy and start making racist taunts.

Many Anti-Trumpers are hypocritically engaging in exactly the same dishonest behaviour as Trump/Trumpists. Frankly, I don't believe anything I read any more, and that's an absolute travesty.

As the person who wrote the software and owns the copyright, nothing prevents you from dual-licensing your software. You can release your software as GPL on GitHub, with a notice that you're willing to also license your code under a paid proprietary license; interested parties may send an email to sales@example.com at their leisure.

Do note that this effectively prevents other people from collaborating with you, since their contributions would be GPL-protected and you may not sell them. So it's not a good model for larger open-source projects. But if you're an independent open-source developer who works as a sole contributor and feels exploited, then it's probably a better model.
Except AGPL if I'm not mistaken ? So combine both I guess ?

>> the alternative was people's phones being infested with malware and viruses.

That's a very weak argument. Actually this is a part of Apple's marketing for ignorant people.

I have been using various Linux distros and Android phones for years and never got a malware and virus because:
- I install software from trusted sources or compile from the source
- I keep SW, OS and kernels up-to-date
- It is getting harder and harder to exploit modern systems thanks to improved sandboxes in browsers, namespaces, ASLR and other techs

What people just need is a bit of training on how to use a computer. They don't need Apple.
Pen and paper is a skill though. My handwriting is terrible, and things get terribly messy very quickly.

> To be honest ... I no longer think that end-to-end encryption is the right solution to human rights problems. If citizens are reduced to sneaking around and denying their activities to survive, their governmental system is way past due for fixing.

You're arguing with a point that nobody is making. End-to-end encryption is not a guaranteed solution to human rights problems. The absence of it increases the probability of human right violations. There's a big difference.

In the rest of your post you're just plugging your own work and mixing up terms like crypto and encryption and all of that is so irrelevant that it seems that you aren't interested in talking about end-to-end encryption after all.

That's likely not due to how they are grown but the genetics of the plant. If you took the seeds for one of them and grew it in your garden with sunshine and birdsong it would still look and taste the same. That's because good looking produce sells better than good tasting one, so that's how commercial plants are bred: for transportation and looks instead of taste.

Also, it might be harmful to make people believe they can completely offset working 8 hours a day at a desk without breaks by spending 1 hour at the gym. By medical standards you still have a sedentary lifestyle.
