Regardless of the current issues with the updates, gas prices, different opinions on the community, devs vs miners vs users...

Am I the only one who thinks people underestimate Ethereum and its EVM invention? In 2013 this guy (who I think is a visionary) wrote a document with a proposal that led to the creation of a world-wide turing-complete distributed computer. And still, people are just starting to realize its potential. This month a layer-2 solution called optimism will launch a virtual machine called OVM (optimism vm) on top of ethereum smart contracts that can solve most of the current scalability issues (and there are other solutions being tested in parallel: zkrollups...). We are also starting to realize the potential of Dex and Defi (distributed exchanges and finance), DAOs (distributed organizations), NFT (non-fungible tokens) and a bunch of things more that 7 years after are appearing out of thin air. So even if Ethereum wasn't updated at all (although, we probably all agree that PoW is not environmental friendly and should be replaced with a better alternative: PoS) it could still thrive in the long term thanks to its most fundamental design choices (turing-complete...). I am truly amazed by this technology and Vitalik. I wish I knew a little bit more of the underlying fundamentals. What do you think?
Crypto miners and and crypto users are aligned in the same way banks and customers are aligned.

I don’t write web services, so I have low O(1) things to communicate with, for which threads with blocking read work OK. They are not perfect, as there is no cancellation, but working around lack of cancellation in a couple of places is less costly than bringing dependency on a relatively fresh Rust async ecosystem.

>Part of it may be that superior knowledge was highly secretive and well guarded.

Especially when that superior knowledge went against the controling religion of the day in that mass acceptance of the knowledge would severely weaken the control that the religion had on the populace. Some of these religious governing periods set back human learning for centuries.

Well, Windows 10 IoT will run on a pi 3, but I don't recommend it. It works well enough, but it seems to have been abandoned by Microsoft, so it's doubtful there will be any updates.
It is a problem. That's a big reason for moving from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake- to more directly make the _holders_ of Ethereum in charge of the chain.

It's a difficult thing to do, though. Hashpower based mining is easier to get going. Proof of stake has issues like the nothing-at-stake problem, where theoretically you could stake-mine on multiple chains: https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/2402/what-exact...
Medic | Sr. Software Engineer | Full-time | Global/Remote | https://medic.org/

We're a non-profit organization working to provide tooling for community health projects. Our team focuses on development of the Community Health Toolkit, which is a suite of open source components, but primarily an offline-first web application.

Here’s a quick list of some of the interesting aspects of our work:

- An offline-first mobile-first webapp. A lot of healthcare workers we serve may go multiple weeks without a network connection.

- Our software needs to be usable on underpowered hardware, which is common for those using it. Client-side performance improvements can make a big impact.

- We provide a platform that locally-customizable apps are built with. Backwards compatibility is critical as is careful thought for new capabilities.

As for the technical parts, almost all development is done in JavaScript and TypeScript. We’re using Angular 10 on the client and node on the server with Pouch/CouchDB for data storage and syncing.

If that all sounds like fun stuff to you, please read the full job description and apply!

Vitalik is very popular because he is heavily respected. Even with that said he cannot get people to make a controversial change as the overall Ethereum community, not just the miners and core devs, decides whether a new proposal is safe enough.
Your premise is that in the past a vocal minority of conservatives controlled the Overton window on this issue, and that’s not what the polling shows, and if you look at contemporary societies where homosexuality is still taboo, it’s clear that the polling accurately reflected reality.

As you can see[1], the regex checker is based on the JS RegExp.match method. Each cell is always 1 character long (so, either a letter of some kind or an empty space). The str parameter for the check function is assembled by concatenating these cells together[2], so the input string for an empty line will look something like this: "_______"

Assuming an empty 7-cell row, the regex in question will match 7 times, once for each character. A result of multiple partial matches is not equivalent to getting just one perfect match, which is what the puzzle requires. Internally, the puzzle enforces this requirement by making each Regex rule require a full line match (see line 118: '^' + rule + '$').

Personally speaking, I felt like that was the most intuitive way to interpret the mechanics of the game, so I'm willing to give the programmer a pass when they slightly modify the regex rule prior to evaluation.

>When one censors 'speech' they are really censoring thought.

This is incorrect; we would surely say that a hypothetical person who cannot communicate at all, only absorb information, has thoughts, even if he has no speech. Further, thoughts are abstract, quite literally figments of the imagination. Speech is concrete as something we do with thought.

Just because someone is prohibited from, say, shouting that Jews should be rounded up and shot in a Jewish neighborhood it does not mean he cannot think it or even express the idea in other contexts. Speech is expressive in that it takes an abstract idea and makes it concrete through the action of speaking. Only certain forms of the expression of that idea, in certain contexts, would be prohibited.

A baseball player will get in trouble for swinging his bat on a busy street. He may still swing it at the stadium without any trouble. The act of swinging the bat hasn't been prohibited, only its specific 'expression', provided by its context as determined by time and place and who is around him. The player has freedom of bat-swinging. We have freedom of thought.

The idea that speech is not action is a relic of the doctrine of mind-body dualism, in which the effect of words on a listener is so substantially different that they are deemed lesser harms, because they affect the mind, not the body. Advances in neuroscience and philosophy have put dualism in hot water[0]. The law in several non-speech related areas has for a long time realized dualism is false, such as with the issue of the insanity defence and voluntary manslaughter.

Well, as far s I understand it, Diode Drive "competes" with OneDrive and DropBox, not with on-premises NAS.

There is a reason OneDrive and DropBox exist and are widely popular, they don't seem a "solution in search of a problem".
As I understand it, the idea of Diode Drive is to be just as easy to setup and use, but without trusting Microsoft or Dropbox the company with your files.

For individuals and small businesses not having an easy access to sysadmin skills, setting up (and securing!) an "on-premises NAS that is accessible from the Internet in some way" is a no-go.
And having a regular file that automatically syncs is far more convenient than syncing files by hand, entering passwords, etc etc.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about Diode Drive other than what I gleaned from their website.
The "modern web" does not want to work without JS. It definitely could work without JS for the most part.

Would the maker have really been thinking that the thing being made would still be usefull 50, 100 or 1000 years later? Sure, it could be used to look that far ahead, but would they have been concerned about longevity of the device itself?
They will outright REFUSE to give you a quote...forget out-of-network, even IN network?!

This is so astonishing cause you would assume they have NEGOTIATED the rate given its in network so there is little variability in what can be charged by the doctor and what can be thrust upon the customer. ex. if you charge $100K more than other in-network doctors, good luck, cause the insurance company is only paying the doctor $5,000 no matter what and the customer will be on the hook for X% of that (outside of deductible and other math required to quote a price)...

It’s not guaranteed that the value of securing the network will be worth its cost even if the value it provides is very high - the cost could be many times higher still!

I don’t say to this to argue that the energy consumption either is or is not worth it, just calling attention to a gap in your logic here.
Never heard about about that airline, although I flew from Germany to the US more than once only few years later. I would also have claimed that no way there was a direct flight from Frankfurt to Bangor.

However the airline existed and served Frankfurt: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Airways

So probably even the weird connection existed. The Spiegel article from 1977 is online, if you want to read it in German https://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-40736384.html

I was hoping this is Dragon Age Origins but it is just another crypto scheme. Or whatever this is...

>If a majority and at least 10M ZRX in voting power are cast in support of the proposal, it is queued in the (optional) Timelock.

I have been on the internet since 1996 and that sentence just sounds like "we'll print money unless you stop us". Which is great, even though I have not been part of this particular money making scheme, I have profited of similar crypto monetizations.

I think I do not understand stuff like this anymore: "We created an on-chain binding governance system able to perform arbitrary actions on a 2M ZRX community-owned Treasury, seed-financed by 0x Labs. The smart contracts work in orchestration with 0x’s existing staking system, for what concerns both the voting power delegation management and votes cadence."

Even having read the ToS from https://0x.org/terms it feels like I understand even less now. It sounds like you put money on their ledger and you are fine with whatever.

I think I don't understand crypto and I would like to play DAO. I share a really popular Dragon Age Inquisition spreadsheet if you are interested in something completely different: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16Pt3AMXjBogM7UZ7Y92-.... I'll approve your edit or copy requests soonish...
"Two'fer Goofer", "Tough Training" - why would GPT-3 give the question back as its response in these cases?
If you're talking about New Caledonia it's as really biased view. It was a special agreement following a stron crisis with the Kanak independance mouvement that allowed to agree on 3 independance votes. There's a big difference in votes between the people from metropolitan France and a much stronger support for independance in the Kanak population. We'll see next year what's the result is going to be, but the last one was quite close.

Other territories do not have the opportunity to vote on their independance.
> There are a wide variety of benefits to this proposal, such as potentially making Ethereum deflationary

Interesting that this is framed as a benefit.
The best thing about old school tech was a feeling of permanence. Pop a cassette out of the walkman, and it'll pick up where you left off.

If you wanted to make a mixtape, you had to record each song one by one in your CD-Cassette combo boombox. The last Walkman I owned was in 2001. After that it was all discman players and non-iPod MP3 players.

I still have relatively strong memories attached to each of them as they were permanent fixture on my person prior to smartphones arriving. I've tried to recapture it on my Neocities page here: https://bad-mood-rising.neocities.org/mp3.html

Ukraine isn't in the EU, so that doesn't actually prove anything about the EU's ability to defend itself.
My point is, that the European accidentally-DC-capable mains equipment can be expected to complain/sustain overcurrent damage, provided it isn't able to handle US residential voltages.

Hence you might as well take the opportunity and switch to a higher in-house distribution voltage than the typical 120 V.

And that 300 V DC motor may actually be cheaper, as you could run a BLDC driver directly from the DC supply with just minimal filtering.

The enhanced power density and copper-efficiency of these high-frequency 3-phase motors may make up for the cost of said inverter, even neglecting the considerably increased energy efficiency over a typical single-phase-capable "oldschool" motor.
You’re not misinformed. This is kind of a weird thread.

Generally, if you want to hedge against inflation, you buy anything but dollars. If you want a very safe hedge against inflation you buy US government bonds. They are considered the lowest default bond, and as such will generally be priced at expected inflation. Next up, if you want about 1% above inflation (and the associated risk) you go with corporate bonds. And if you want about 3%, and more risk, you go with stocks.

Generally you should know the higher the interest the greater the risk. Some of the risk is short term risk, like not being able to liquidate. Some of the risk is longer term, like a company becoming insolvent.

To get good returns from the stock market, you need diversity, and long time lines, and growing companies. Else luck.
USA learned it's lesson after being isolationist leading up to mass genocide and world wars. A league of nations didn't work, so things evolved into the USA being the guard dog for the world.
It's not really in the hands of one person, though. If the community diverges, two chains will be created, and the one will the most value will be considered the 'real' chain.

This already happened once, and the less-popular chain became known as 'Ethereum Classic.' It's still around.
Yeah that's what I was thinking as well. The article leads with "The most commonly cited drawback of OS-level threads is that they use a lot of RAM." and that's not the impression I had at all.

I've always felt that the biggest reasons that threadless concurrency primitives were adopted was to avoid the non-negligible cost of spawning threads and context switching between them.
I actually saw the last surviving American chestnut tree in Pennsylvania.

It was a lone tree on a hillside for miles around.

Those nuts too are still being harvest for biogenetic rework.
SQLite 3.35.0
This is exciting. The American Chestnut is an amazing tree that once grew with trunks as wide as a car. The article did not mention that once the blight was discovered, there was somewhat of a panic to harvest them, which rather reduced the genetic diversity and ruined the possibility of any natural resistance. The horrendous effect our species has on the diversity of life is incredibly sad, re: Dodos and Carrier Pigeons and likely thousands of other unique species. But I would not cry if the biting mosquito that spreads disease, the bacteria that causes wet dog smell, and Cryphonectria parasitica went extinct never to appear again.
I've been thinking exactly that. The problem is that the average internet user would have to:
- buy a domain name (and pay for it every year)
- rent hosting (cheapest provider is probably DO at 5$/month)
- setup your machine so that it's secure enough it doesn't end up hacked
- setup whatever is needed to publish content in your machine (could be as simple as HTML, but then the average internet user doesn't know HTML. It could be wordpress... But then you have to install it by yourself)

It's a lot of hassle for the average internet user. The worst case scenario: you end up paying ~70$/year for something you have no idea how to setup property. Beast case scenario: some startup takes over the hassle for you for "only" 50$/year... But that's not that different from Facebook (except that you would "own" a domain name and a host you have no idea how to "own").

It's hard to say things like kink or spaghetti monster are counter culture when they were routinely held by people in high positions of power in the culture and used to destroy or attack the impediments to capitalism. Atheism is capitalism's best friend, because it completely defangs any spiritual argument against consumerism and productivity; kink is capitalism's best friend because it opens up many lucrative and well paying methods to commodify sex itself.

Ironically, both are disliked some because of that. The nofap rose as a real counterculture to commodified kink and porn; and the "i love fucking science" type of reddit atheist the FSM people were at heart are mocked.

I don’t have an issue having a master password for one password manager stored inside another; I DO think having it in a web browser's built-in password manager is a bad idea, particularly because most browser password managers don’t require authentication to use (unless you’re logging into the browser for the first time).

If someone gets access to my unlocked machine and can get into my web browser, they could potentially get into my other password manager to retrieve important information. That’s a very bad thing.

Sometimes you’re required to enter a password to retrieve/view saved passwords in a web browser, sometimes you aren’t — but it is very rare that the built-in password manager requires authentication for auto-fill. As a general rule, I don’t use Chrome's built-in password manager for anything sensitive because it didn’t require prior authentication to view stored passwords (it may have changed now, but I’m not sure), and the same is true for autofill of my 1Password master password and security key on ANY platform. I don’t want someone to be able to autofill and get access to all my data.

Hi everyone!

I’m Michael, the creator of Ugly Video. Ugly Video is a video conferencing app for the browser built with WebRTC. Its main feature currently is a shared whiteboard canvas that lets users draw and share images.

I made this app due to some frustrations with the Zoom UI. As a student, I often want to create quick meetings between me and my friends to talk about classes or just chill together. From opening the Zoom app to sending out the meeting link, it takes about 5-6 clicks and a few seconds of loading in between.

I built Ugly Video to minimize the click flows for my three most common tasks:

1. Creating meetings - you are automatically placed in a new meeting when you visit https://ugly.video

2. Inviting people - button for copying link on menu bar

3. Generating memes - button labeled as surprise!

I’d love to hear your feedback!
