I posted this the other day on a the "What are you working on?" thread, but:

>> I'm making something I call "newsbetting" - you get an article stripped of title, author, or source information and you have to bet on whether the article is right or left wing based on the content.

>> It's definitely not ready for primetime, but my hope is that I can show 1) it can provide a viable business model for struggling news sources 2) it is possible to change the incentives around our news ecosystem to be less ad-driven and sensationalist. I have lots of other ideas, like integrating social media and cryptocurrencies and allowing betting on something other than political bias, but I have my work cut out for me as is. As I'm not really a developer, I'm using this idea mostly to learn

I think this newsbetting model for a small, select type of content provider offers an alternative to the ad-driven model this author is aggrieved by. My issue with subscription based models is that 1) once you've given something for "free" it is hard to take away and 2) it creates a divide between those who pay for good information/content and those who don't. This ends up exacerbating existing wealth and education inequalities.
And if for example companies now donate, does that now make it trustable?

I see some 24 pin "magnetic usb-c" adapters with 100W PD and TB3 compatibility on Amazon/Aliexpress. They need an existing cable so likely they just pass-thru cable capability discovery to an existing chip. Apart of some wear issues, reviews are rather positive. Anyone tried such?

You're telling me that Parler's 8M nowhere-to-go users have nothing to do with Signal's recent influx of 40M users?

Here's a hint: The entire 8M from Parler are using Signal. They're still plotting all the same violence, but instead of being protected by a promise from the founder, they're protected by the design of the app itself. There's no argument to use against Parler that can't be used against Signal. They need to be shut down now, before people die again.

Signal is a threat to our core tenets of freedom, security and democracy. Parler could change its moderation policy tomorrow but Signal can't change how it works.

This is gaslighting. The internet was designed by CERN to be a network that scientific literature could be sent to and from other scientists. Then the internet became much, much more, and became the most transformational technology of the last century.

Bitcoin may have been designed solely as a currency, per Satoshi's whitepaper, but it has evolved into something much more (and will continue to evolve in the future). Bitcoin is digital gold. That is how it is being used and deployed by top funds and investment managers, as well as average citizens and retail investors. Bitcoin has been the TOP returning investment in the last decade. It will continue to exceed expectations because of the security of the blockchain, the inherit deflationary nature of bitcoin and the hardcoded scarcity, and as a hedge against serious inflationary concerns and geopolitical uncertainty / volatility that will continue in the future.

To say that because it had a 25% correction and is volatile while it is still in its early stages, is like saying that internet stocks (i.e. Amazon) in the year 2000 could never become mega large-cap companies and top-tier investments. Bitcoin may not be suitable to solely be relied on as a currency, but neither may the USD in a few decades from now. Bitcoin will always be able to be used nearly instantaneously at any point in the world. Bitcoin is going nowhere, is akin to digital gold, and could be potentially used a currency with the right use case. Bitcoin will be the top store of value cryptocurrency in an ecosystem of defi and blockchain networks that will be used for everything in society (i.e. wrapped btc in ethereum smart contracts), and so much more.

Some of the greatest scientists of all time have been Christians. Some have followed other religions with similar devotion.

Your bias is without basis. Faith is an important component of many people's lives.

I work for a company that is overtly Christian. They advertise it on their web page, they have morning prayer meetings, they have a chapel and a chaplain. They donate to Christian causes and partner with Christian colleges. It's also not a hiring metric (obviously), and it's not used to discriminate against anyone, and many of my very successful co-workers do not profess any religion.

Judge people on their technical ability, not your opinion of their faith. Judge people on the content of their character, not your opinion of who they pray to.

There's a lot of Synology NAS users who use DS Note (the Synology solution), which is functionally fine, but the UX is poor. If I could use Supernotes as just a client, but use my own hosting, it'd be excellent.

Splunk to Acquire Network Performance Monitoring Leader Flowmill

This made me laugh because I spent a good chunk of last weekend trying to debug a problem with some of my old computer hardware and the problem turned out to be a link that couldn't handle anything over 150 baud.

Yes, I think I get it. For example if your creating an AGPLv3 server application, the client I guess must be AGPLv3 too.

> The .Net tooling used to be easy, now you’ll be able of building your entire application in python before you’re even done configuring your .Net environment.

I do not even think it is an exaggeration. Even the non-performant Python still feels like a hacker's, get-shit-done language compared to .Net. Anything .Net still feels like slow, enterprise bloat. Even "dotnet build/run" is slow, no matter size of your project.

Author here; I agree this is a valid objection and that one should be very cautious when extrapolating cause-effect relationships. Systems like these also often have multiple embedded feedback loops in them, which can make it impossible to identify a single cause once the flywheel gets going.

It's when you combine the USDT/BTC correlation with the available evidence for Tether's unbacked issuance that the problem becomes clearer, in my view. When issuance is unbacked, it can be decoupled from real demand — and that's a degree of freedom that allows Tethers to be injected arbitrarily into the system. Coinbase's stablecoin is backed by audited reserves, so USDC is constrained by demand — making it more plausible that USDT is the causal factor rather than USDC.

I got one recently. Haven't had it for long enough to see wear issues, but I'm surprised how well it's worked. Biggest annoyance is that it's sensitive to being jostled. When it was just power, that didn't matter so much, but when it's connected to my docking station, it's the same as yanking the cable. It's staying, for now, but I have to be careful moving things around on my desk.

Edit to address sibling concern: It's running a TB3 screen, so seems to be working for that...
It's an unusual name for a person.
The 3DS (especially if you can pick up a used one) is actually an excellent choice for access to almost all of Nintendo's handheld library after installing the custom firmware hack.

YouTube TV still gets me though. Requires GPS access and won't let me access my hometown sports without it.

FWIW, this is sort of a legacy of .NET's "enterprisey" history. Code size and trimming wasn't really a priority when most .NET code ran server-side or inside enterprises, now it is.

There's been a lot of work happening recently to trim .NET executables and publish them as single files, and it looks like .NET binary sizes will eventually be in the same ballpark as Go: https://blog.kalalau-cantrell.com/2021/01/make-smaller-conso...

Not really. The key difference is the degree of involvement Bitcoin miners have in Stacks mining. In side-chains, Bitcoin miners would need to opt-in to mining the side-chain and validate its blocks. In Stacks, Bitcoin miners only need to include the Stacks miners' block-commitment transactions into Bitcoin blocks. Since block-commitment transactions look like normal BTC transactions, no Bitcoin miner involvement is necessary beyond what they're already doing.

The full protocol description can be found in https://github.com/stacksgov/sips (see SIP-001 and SIP-007 in particular).

> On a Saturday night in September 2016, K was injured when a terrorist set off a bomb on West 23rd Street in Manhattan. “I had pretty bad PTSD to which he hated caring for me, even kept a dated log of every time I needed help, to the point where he left me outside in the dark—knowing that at that time I couldn't be outside alone or be in the dark without panicking,” she recalls, before adding, “and this is only the light stuff.”

You don’t find this behavior unsettling? How about this anecdote being characterized as “this only the light stuff”?
Having spent a bunch of time trying to figure this all out myself, as well, some practical tips (confirmed anecdotally by yours truly):

- Place your speakers such that they form an equilateral triangle, with the tweeters pointing directly at your head while you are seated in the control position. Near-field monitors are made for focusing on a 'sweet spot' like this. Using purpose-built speaker stands is the easiest route here.

- Treat the first reflection points with foam, or anything that absorbs/scatters sound (e.g. I hung a huge shag rug on the back wall)

- Break up smooth surfaces (walls/floors/windows) with other absorptive/non-smooth decorations and materials. Rug on floor, couch at back of room, curtains, even a bookcase; all will help absorb and scatter sound.

- A good rule of thumb is to spend as much money on 'treating' the room as the speakers themselves (even great speakers will sound like trash in a room with no treatment).

- When using the speakers for mixing/mastering work, listen at a conversational volume. The lower the volume, the less the room matters (and the room matters a lot).

- You will get far better sound from decent headphones (I have HD650s) than from all but the most pristinely designed/tuned monitor setups. Probably would cost well over $10k and a lot of knowhow to beat the headphones.

Isn’t Signal just groups and direct messages? Parler was a giant echo chamber where you can tumble down the rabbit hole, signal has no suggested groups or other broadcast to the word. Only broadcast to a channel opting into a conversation. Sure you can use it to coordinate and spread disinformation but it’s got a much lower viral spread.

Brings to mind The Judge's position on war from McCarthy's Blood Meridian:

"It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way."
I was thinking it’d be something more like this:

How would you sell USDT? You’d buy on a BTC/USDT market. These markets aren’t unified—there are different markets for tether and backed USD. Who would be counterparty to a tether exchange?

Thise specific USDT pairings would crash. If they wanted USD (as they presumably do), they’d then crash the other stable coin or backed pairings.
I solved this issue by simply getting a few USB-C cables for my keebs. I even managed to find a USB-C to miniUSB cable for my HHKB. It has to be a fairly specific type of cable mind you. Anything marketed at USB 2.0 should work great.
> which he obviously put a lot of time and research in

I don't believe that he did put a lot of research into the historical background. It is possible I am wrong. The reason I believe this is because at least one historian I trust who works in an adjacent subfield went on a big rant about these being classic misconceptions.

I believe that Blow is very smart and quite knowledgeable about software. I also believe that a lot of engineers believe that they can make huge claims about the nature of history without consulting professionals. These errors are often harmless but the are also often harmful, either causing us to draw false conclusions about the past or today.

Like you say below, Blow would have been better off skipping the first 10m of his talk.

This makes most sense to me as the induced charging area needs to be big enough for it to work so I think that would rule out the sides as the place where the magnetic charger would snap on. But this raises another issue what happens when the charger is snapped on the back of the screen and the screen angle is adjusted, will there be a wire hanging off the screen that moves with it as I lower or raise my screen? Seems a bit un-Apple-like.
Yes but I was responding to the “have to” in: “...a command line option parser which you'd have to pull into a python project...”

Chlorine sucks. It's added to water because the other major way of disinfecting water (ozone) is too transient to last all the way through the water pipelines. Nonetheless, they're often used in combination, to minimize the amount of chlorine needed. The only thing worse than chlorinated water is the diseases you catch by not having chlorinated water.
I think the barriers are lower. As a kid, my obstacles were things like not having access to a free compiler. Or maybe I could have gotten a free one but I was a kid and the only ones I was aware of were hundreds of dollars, way out of reach. Now I can download any compiler I want for free, as well as tools like VSCode, Visual Studio etc. Also there are environments like Dr. Racket, which are awesome and can be used to build basically any kind of application, and come with all the tutorials at your fingertips.
