> The eth blockchain is untenably huge (good luck running an ethereum full node)

No blockchains are anywhere close to "untenably huge".

The ethereum chain is 639.43 GB.

https://bitinfocharts.com/

A $10 USD VPS could sync with that in under two hours. That is about $12 USD of hard drive space after 5 years.

This is about the same as downloading the five to eight largest games on steam.

> and ethereum fees are often higher than Bitcoin fees.

No they aren't. They are about the same, making them both unusable for normal transactions, but it should be obvious there are no technical limitations to making larger and/or more frequent blocks since ethereum does it already.

> It doesn't have to be "synced with the chain" except during channel opening and closing, which occur infrequently (like on the scale of weeks or months).

Which means that no one can use that balance for weeks or months and some third party has to spot people the money in the mean time. That sounds like a credit card. Know what doesn't work like that? On chain transactions.
> virtually all speakers intuitively understand and follow whether they've heard of them or not

Do they? I regularly speak with people who can't stick to the point, ramble, start talking about something whose first half of the conversation occurred only in their heads, and are prone to providing unnecessary detail.

Haven't you never experienced a three way conversation where you notice one of the parties used an ambiguous term and the other party chose the wrong meaning? I find this happens pretty frequently; and of course, I've been either of these parties at times!
I agree with you about everyone saying "raise your price" however, you can always move upmarket if you're B2B so I think pricing is generally dependent on your target market.

If OP is targeting solo operators (Effectively B2C), then I agree that the price seems exorbitant.

I see a lot of opportunity for this further upmarket though. I saw someone mention that this could be useful for agencies, and they do seem like an ideal customer. Funded startups seem like another ideal customer with more money in the bank.
We’re finally getting to where the rub is!

For one, I don’t think disassociating is a _bad_ thing. Psychedelics (and ketamine in particular) can be very therapeutic for their disassociative properties. This also transfers over to meditation.

But people need to be aware of it; meditation isn’t a cure-all and can induce a psychotic breakdown if you’re susceptible to them. I’m thankfully not in that camp, and it will take most people who _are_ susceptible a long time before such a breakdown occurs (like a weeklong vipassana retreat).

I know you don’t care, but it’s fun to share what one has learned.

Edit: also had no idea about the author’s affair. That’s unfortunate. I’ve learned a lot from professors with terrible home lives though.
Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts and On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

These are both absolutely brilliant and moving; you can't go wrong with either of them.

I think audacity might be a good candidate for breaking some "no, that doesn't usually work" rules.

Baby Mode - I know this has a history of sucking, but a lot of audacities UI complaints are from users who need one small thing once in a while.

Less "G" in the GUI. Audacity is a whole bunch of hard to group commands. Maybe they should just bite the bullet, and incorporate some 80s-ish text navigation UI elements. People are googling "how do I X" anyway.
"Disembodied brains have been a staple of science fiction since the early days of the genre. Often the subject of horror stories, they have menaced many a protagonist with their advanced mental powers. Becoming a cyborg, with one’s brain embedded in machinery, or with devices grafted onto a human body, was often presented as a fictional fate worse than death. Characters would implant mechanical devices in their bodies to give themselves additional abilities, often with malevolent intent. The evil biological/mechanical hybrid Borg of the Star Trek series are just one of the many incarnations of this trope.

In McCaffrey’s world, however, the melding of man and machine was seen in a much better light. Becoming a 'shell person' or 'encapsulated brain' is presented as a positive, humane opportunity for people with severe physical disabilities, allowing them to develop their exceptional talents and intelligence. At that time, when even the simplest of computers filled entire rooms, and even the most forward-thinking stories depicted characters using slide rules on the bridges of their spaceships, using a human brain for complex tasks seemed more likely than using some sort of mechanical intelligence. So McCaffrey postulated a universe where spaceships, and even cities, were managed by human brains linked directly to electrical and mechanical control systems, able to manage complex systems as instinctively as they might their own bodies. And she even anticipated the controversies inherent in the concept, projecting that there would be societies who opposed humans being used in this manner, and other groups who would work to protect their rights and prevent their enslavement."

This is interesting. I'm white.

The word master doesn't occupy this space in my head and never has. I've associated this term primarily with teachers from a very early age. There's obviously the master-slave terminology in tech, but that really doesn't map to slavery in my head. This is probably because I'm from the British Isles which has a very different history in terms of slavery.

For me, I felt this change was really about the impact this term has for people who have been impacted by slavery having to continue to use these terms, which I thought many must felt comes across as, at best, insensitive.

Hence, I felt the cost of doing this seems reasonable. I mean, if we used the term holocaust for wiping a hard drive at some point people would probably have said - "err, yeah, no that's just a bad idea", because it would be offensive.
Yep, agreed, which is once again why you get managers doing the project management; a lot of them cut their teeth there.

Sure, it's all text based that I send in an email. The Audacity specific part of the guide is:

---

3. Locally recording our own individual audio tracks

Programs like Zoom and Google Hangouts are great for talking in real-time but
their audio quality is extremely low for a podcast.

So we'll be recording our own individual audio tracks. Basically that means
you'll want to download a tool so that you can press record on your own
computer, record your side of things and then be in a position to send me the
exported result of that. Then I'll combine our tracks together in the end.

Don't worry, we'll do an audio test and double check things together on the
call to make sure things are set up properly before we hit record.

If you're not already familiar with tools to locally record your own audio
track you can try using https://www.audacityteam.org/. It's free, open source
and works on all major platforms. It's a fantastic tool.

After starting Audacity there will be a drop down box near the top of the
toolbar where you can select your microphone. If you have multiple microphones
please make sure your best microphone is selected.

macOS and Linux users can use the defaults for everything else. If you're on
Windows there is a drop down box that says MME to the left of where you pick
your microphone. You should change that to Windows WASAPI to ensure you get
good quality audio.

Next up you can try recording yourself a few times to get the hang of the
program. You can do that by pressing the big red button. After doing so when you
speak into your microphone you should see a bunch of blue bars and lines scroll
across your screen. That's good! It means your microphone is picking up your voice.

You can confirm if things recorded properly by pressing stop and then playing back
your recording. You should hear yourself loud and clear. If you can't then make
sure your headphones or speakers are selected in the drop down box to the right
of your mic.

If you want to send me a sample that would be fine, but you don't have to.

After we finish our call, it will be very important to stop the recording, save
the project and then export it to both wav and mp3 files (just to be safe).
You can do that by going to the File menu and then picking Save Project -> Save
Project. You can save it anywhere you want.

That will ensure your recording gets saved in case something catastrophic
happens while exporting the files, such as the power going out or Audacity
crashing for whatever reason.

Lastly, you'll want to do a File -> Export and then choose wav. Once that
finishes you'll want to do the same thing for mp3. The default settings are fine.

Keep in mind the recording will be roughly 60 minutes long when we do it for
real which will take up about 400-500 MB of disk space, so make sure you
have at least 1 GB of space to be safe before recording.
I first thought it prints gelatin. Then I thought it was made of gelatin. Now that I see it prints IN gelatin, that's pretty awesome.
Where I grew up in rural Wisconsin I could see it at night laying out on our front lawn. Not super bright, but you could definitely tell it was there.
I don't think debate is the issue. The issue is people lying to each other to motivate certain problematic behavior like riots and elections. Moreover the echo chamber effect created by the information sharing technologists to increase clicks, makes having a meaningful debate moot.
I'd also be interested to hear this. I used to love Eclipse, but really didn't like the workspaces concept and endless wrangling with plugins that frequently broke something on minor updates.

I moved to intellij because the simple things I needed just worked out of the box, and I mostly find it great.

But I'd still like to hear from someone with a different take on it .
I like the hardware but I don't like the default software that's on it. NIC.CZ is already spread too thin and I get the feeling that they are not prioritizing their router branch on the level it should be.

I'm considering running Alpine on it but so far that's pretty much uncharted territory.
> If we were talking about sending people to jail for sharing PizzaGate conspiracies I wouldn't support it, but I don't really see what benefit there is to Facebook or Twitter tolerating such content

Why is the punishment morally revelant to the principle of freedom of conscience?
I bet there's a lot of people who would much rather go to jail than lose a Twitter account.
> "Wherever humans appeared—whether homo erectus or homo sapiens, we see, sooner or later, mass extinction of large animals... But while other species, like our cousins the Neanderthals, became extinct when their large prey disappeared, homo sapiens decided to start over again, this time relying on agriculture."

Now homo erectus is apparently included as a variety of human, and Neanderthals are still relegated to "cousins".

We're a paying customer and happily so. The product is slick, it works extremely well, and the cost is negligible compared to the value you get from it. For us @bemicrobrave (on Twitter) this was a no-brainer from the moment we saw it.
What actually seems to happen is people, with all the extra free time, and lack of conflict, seem to seek out conflict and elevate minor disagreements, catastrophizing everything.

That is, people become Karens on a bunch of subjects which barely matter to the quality of life for most people.
While that is the title of the site, the site also has an entire section dedicated to "Dev Types" which all sound like a one-sided glorification of highly questionable developer behaviors.

When writing my dissertation, latex decided that aesthetics require it to omit one of my paragraphs.

It’s one of those things that is not so funny near a deadline :-)

Of course, it was some sort of user error.
Yeah, but those professors weren't claiming to be shining examples of ethics or practices that were supposed to lead to ethical behavior.

Anyways, basically your point is that meditation is like drugs in that it gets you high and helps you check out? Wow, how profound, definitely somebody I would give control of my life over to.
Is it just me or is Wikipedia lately sounding more and more desperate? What are the reasons?

- Are the server costs ballooning?

- Are the middle managers / bureaucracy increasing in numbers?

- If not these, what else?

They are also employing annoyance tactics and dark patterns to coerce you into donating.

I suppose it's extremely easy for one to believe various yes-men that your organization needs more people -- from one point of growth and on.

But the pertinent question remains: why does a non-profit need to grow?
Sure. If you are talking to a woman in a romantic context, the purpose of the conversation is not to convey the most information in the fewest words possible.

I worked for Fiserv for a couple of years. Ended up there through an acquisition. I think experiences at Fiserv would vary considerably. Fiserv is the product of 600 acquisitions. Outside of sales and finance, there really is no company culture to speak of. Its basically very aggressive sales and finance teams trying to squeeze everything they can out the businesses they buy. Not a place for great engineering talent, and it shows.
I have to call BS on the idea that the writer never received more than a couple items.
> One great example is the Trump tax cuts. 64% of Americans got a tax cut, of whom 40% were convinced that they did not!

40% of 64% is 25%, which doesn't sound like a lot. That's a lot better than how many people don't know that Obamacare and the ACA are the same thing[1].

You're also not mentioning that the individual tax cuts begin to phase out in 2021, and end completely in 2025. Whereas the corporate tax cuts are permanent (until the next tax act, at least).[2] So some of those people may have been taking future taxes into account too (unlikely, but possible).

Page 10 says this:

"December 23, for instance, President Trump reportedly called one of Georgia’s lead election investigators, urging him to “find the fraud”" and references, among others:

28 Amy Gardner, ‘Find the Fraud’: Trump Pressured a Georgia Elections Investigator in a Separate Call Legal Experts Say Could Amount to Obstruction, Wash. Post (Jan. 9, 2021).

This specific fake quote was used in the WaPo headline, in a charge of obstruction, and in a criminal referral. The call was secretly recorded, then deleted, so the source knew or should have known this was false.

The wording changes the call from implying some vague kind of quid-pro-quo arrangement to overturn an election to making a complaint because he (wrongly) believed he was a victim of fraud. The faked quotes are relevant to the legal charges brought against Trump. Their source had a recording, so there was no excuse for being inaccurate on something this important.

Many of those Bitcoin "accounts" (addresses) are probably exchange wallets that actually hold the Bitcoin of many users.

Since Bitcoin is somewhat anonymous it's hard to actually estimate its GINI coefficient. I agree that it's probably not great, but I'm not convinced it's this bad.

If it's just positive reviews on a website, i skip it as low information.

Tweet compilations actually decrease trust for me if they are on a website. Twitter sucks overall and bringing obviously filtered tweets is a turnoff.

As a consumer in both business and general, I want third parties who give unbiased reviews, covering multiple vendors / products which solve my problem. This is why genuine influencer marketing is doing well. I actually spend a fair amount of time on youtube looking at reviews and finding trustworthy sources there. They need to point out flaws and put some products down do gain that trust
It doesn't sound crazy to me in the first place that Communist China is whitewashing the history of Communism.

We think about that a lot. We don’t want it to feel too social media-y. When I launched the first product I just posted in reddit/FB/everywhere until there were a few hundred users. Then I got to know all of them, and then got to know what they wanted from Chums. Same gameplan here! We also expect the tipping model to be a little viral. If you sign up, you’ll see that we give you money to give to your friends right away. The ‘pay it forward’ mechanism has the potential to make this grow quickly, but it might take a few iterations to actually work.
It's weird, because at work we're a Mac shop, but I (among a small group of others) buck the trend and run Linux. I have very few issues; I just run Debian stable for 6 months or so after its release, and then switch to testing until 6 months after it goes stable.

Meanwhile, my coworkers complain all the time about macOS. Definitely some of it is due to the poorly-written corporate management software they're required to run, but a lot of it is just them constantly fighting against the OS to get their work done. And then even after IT has finished testing the new major macOS release every year (which takes them like 4 months) and allows people to run it on their laptops, they still look at over an hour to upgrade, and a lot of post-install issues.

The one big caveat is that on occasion, say once every 2 years, I hit a big issue on Linux that I can fix, but an average non-technical user would probably not be able to figure out, and would end up having to do a full reinstall (or get their family techie person to do it). I do feel like MS and Apple have mostly eliminated that sort of issue (though I could be wrong).

The other problem I see is that most people have an existing laptop and want to try Linux on it, and run into hardware incompatibilities. Unfortunately that's just how things are going to be; if you really want to try to run Linux on a laptop, you need to make your purchasing decision with that in mind. You never really think about that when you run macOS or Windows, because Macs/PCs are designed to run that particular OS, and the manufacturer guarantees that everything will work. This phenomenon is especially bad for people with Mac laptops; at this point anything after 2016 means a lot of pain and things that just won't work. Even with a 2016 MacBook Pro you're going to be fighting to get things set up.

On the flip side, if you get something that's designed with Linux in mind (like the Dell XPS 13 or something from System76), you're going to have a much better time. But I totally get that most people won't want to buy a new laptop and would prefer to give Linux a spin on whatever they have already. It's just that results are going to be wildly mixed in that case.

> Probably. In my opinion, people should exchange USDT for BUSD while it still has value. That way everyone will continue trading normally when all the controversy catches up to Tether.

This is sound advice for the individual but it doesn’t work for the market as a whole.

I’m arguing Tether is a sham. When too many people try to get out of a sham, it collapses.

Currently, 2/3rd of people who try to sell their BTC find USDT buyers. If Tether is revealed as a fraud suddenly the sell side will outweigh the buy side.

From the first lesson:

Take for example the element <h2> indicating a new section in an HTML document. LaTeX also has a command for this; here one would use the \section command.

——

I feel like that’s making a very broad assumption about people writing semantic markup in HTML. H{1-6} is for a header. It has nothing to do with a section (<section> or otherwise).
This seems like it could be a great approach to charting in a Phoenix LiveView application.

The stdlib is quite enough for basic CLI apps, especially when you use PEGs.

Janet's event loop also makes it very handy for issuing a lot of subprocess calls.

Take a look at TeXmacs (http://www.texmacs.org) (does not share code with TeX, only the name recalls it!). It is at the same time structured and WYSIWYG (having accessible text source), completely programmable (user-defined native macros and Scheme) and has a high quality typography (includes a global page-breaking algorithm). There is a helpful mailing list (info at http://texmacs.org/tmweb/home/ml.en.html) and a forum (http://forum.texmacs.cn/).
