How else would you obtain crypto if it wasn't by exchanging it with other fiat currency? Mining hasn't been realistic for many years now. It costs the same as a single BTC in electricity cost to mine one, assuming you have the mining hardware.

Buying and selling 'assets' on the Darkweb and amongst people you know in other countries with restricted foreign money transfer is one main use case of CoinBase.

In fact, I doubt BTC would have thrived as much as it did if it wasn't for SilkRoad/DarkMarket/EmpireMarket/WhiteHouseMarket etc. Not to mention the hundreds of millions that went into worse endeavors like ransomeware and funding terror organizations.

BTC didn't become what it is without the billions of dollars in demand for those very real use cases. Each drug dealer exchanges tens and hundreds of thousands of USD in crypt, much more than the average regular crypto enthusiast. BTC investors are investing in blood money, like it or not. It's not just a magic computer token thingy, and it hasn't been for a decade now since the SilkRoad inception.

Isn't the issue getting notifications out through the OS notification system?

Unless I'm misunderstanding something about the problem, I don't do iOS dev or any webdev complicated enough to require OS notifications.
Often true, but I think it's only part of it. If you read about the history of Office 97 development, it was a truly remarkable amount of work which went into it.

Every feature, even the tiniest, was user-tested for many hours, testers spent thousands of hours running through every option, usability and accessibility experts pored over every widget to ensure it looked perfect and had a keyboard shortcut, etc.

It also helped that there was no "moving target" release cycle. There was no fixing it once the gold master was approved.

And the result is a very nicely put together suite of applications with pixel-perfect toolbars, icons, dialogs, etc. that just beams quality.
That's helpful, thanks! I already do use merge-base, I was wondering if there's a builtin shortcut as I hadn't seen anything in the rev-parse manage.

> The consent popups you see aren't just about cookies though.

I don't care about all the other stuff the popups are about either. The popups are pointless, click-through damage and they serve no purpose. The laws that caused them to exist are equally pointless. There is no measurable benefit to any of this privacy theater and no less tracking is occurring since the advent of all of these pointless popups.

Thank you. According to a quick search [1],

"""
Cookies and local storage serve different purposes. Cookies are primarily for reading server-side, local storage can only be read by the client-side. So the question is, in your app, who needs this data — the client or the server?

If it's your client (your JavaScript), then by all means switch. You're wasting bandwidth by sending all the data in each HTTP header.

If it's your server, local storage isn't so useful because you'd have to forward the data along somehow (with Ajax or hidden form fields or something). This might be okay if the server only needs a small subset of the total data for each request.
"""

So I guess server-side no-JS applications are going to be caught in this crossfire?

I'm speaking less about the leaders, but more of the mass. Silicon Valley has practically been deified as the brain capitol of the US, if not the world, but they're unable to meaningfully address the question? I think not, they're not addressing it, but with a sleight of hand pretending action to subdue their consumer base with a sense of security and imply a democratic process. An act of vanity, which I hope will be seen through.

Wadge’s Law (of Meetings).

Before every formal meeting there’s a smaller, more exclusive, less formal meeting where all the important decisions are made.

This is based on decades of experience in academia and friends’ experience in industry and government. Sometimes there’s an even smaller, more exclusive, less formal pre pre meeting where all the decisions of the pre meeting are made. Maybe even a pre pre pre meeting … until you reach some guy deciding everything in the shower.
What is this based on? Old movies?
Similarly, I’ve rarely needed web notifications and on the handful of occasions I have they’re of a nature that’s better tied to a desktop/laptop than a phone or tablet.
YouTube Vanced[1] for Android is awesome. It supports background playback and allows you to block all ads as well as community posts, surveys, premium movies, and just about anything else. They recently integrated SponsorBlock[2], which allows you to block in-video intros, outros, sponsored sections, and subscription reminders.

However it uses microG, which has long had an open issue with v2 of Google's Cast API. The issue was recently closed however I don't believe it was solved. However it is still possible to work around this. I ended up writing a quick script on my phone that uses pychromecast to initialize the cast so that it can be passed off to YouTube Vanced.

It's been a while since I've cast anything but are you certain that ads are blocked when casting from an app that blocks ads? In my experience with casting, the video is always streamed directly from the content provider's servers (YouTube) to the cast receiver (smart TV) with ads intact. You would need to mirror your phone's display in order to block ads.

Any good examples of these terms. I would like to read through them. I see very few of these pop-ups because I rarely use a graphical browser, and if I do, Javascript is disabled unless necessary.

It does seem like the GDPR is being exploited to manipulate how users consent in a way that benefits the website's online ad scheme more than the user's experience.

If I were drafting a GDPR, I would standardise the consent mechanism and not allow for much creativity. Ideally IMO the consent process, e.g., each pop-up, should be so predictable that consent/denial of consent could be automated. Asking users to read terms, and engage in some sort of interactive consent is not practicable. Users will just click "OK" or whatever they need to in order to make the pop-up go away. Website developers know this and it should be no surpise if they are taking advantage of that to sneek in all manner of one-sided terms.

This is absolutely true, and actually the mutations are usually quite diverse already, so it's thought that multiple neoantigens should be targeted simultaneously. However, no matter how much you target, the diversity and evolution of cancer always wins. Therefore, the goal is not to target every last cancer cell, but to trigger enough of an immune response across a wide enough variety of mutations for the B cells to adapt to whatever else they find. This is also the theory of checkpoint blockades, and they will probably be used together.
I see this sentiment often. But is this comparison fair? For example, what does the distribution of risk look like in each cohort (AI vs human drivers)?

Presumably the risk of an accident is relatively evenly distributed between all AI drivers (they are using the same AI after all). But is the risk of a car accident evenly distributed between all people? Not even close. It’s perfectly possible to simultaneously reduce the overall risk for everyone while at the same time increasing the risk for a given individual by an order of magnitude.

Would you be willing to assume a greater risk of accidental death _personally_ to decrease overall risk of death? Not a question I imagine reaches broad consensus...

And what about the soft problems? Like responsibility. A self-driving car runs off the road and kills your daughter. Now what? Tesla is certainly not going to accept responsibility. So... you just “chalk it up” as bad luck? At least the current paradigm has the _ability_ to offer closure after a tragedy.

Reducing “self-driving cars” to a single metric is not only mathematically dubious, it’s ethically abhorrent and just plain stupid. I expect better.

Apple is really the only one these days ignoring these standards. Even if it a "dubious process", if there is consensus among the majority browser vendors I would call it standard.
> So much like we allow children time to learn in school before we expect them to compete in the job market, we should allow developing countries to employ protectionistic policies like tariffs, in order to protect and build up their fledgling industries nationally, before fully entering the world market in a couple decades when they are ready.

Let X be an industrialized country, and Y be the one exporting raw materials.

There are many tea plantations in Y. Companies from X own those plantations. They take the tea that is produced for some few cents, process it, put it in teabags, put the teabags in a well designed box, and then sell it across the world for a much higher value than whatever the cost of producing the plants was in Y. Most of the money goes to people in X.

Now what is we do what you say? then, companies from Y would be selling the boxed tea bags themselves. None of the money would go to X anymore. X exchanges its money for Y's tea.

In fact, X exchanges all of its money for other products from other countries as well. X now falls into a trade deficit.

Your [1] is apparently not public or "does not exist".

It is true Microsoft ported some of it's tracking prevention features over to Chromium Edge, but it certainly isn't a step above or beyond Firefox or Safari, and it's frustrating Microsoft continues to follow Google in places reasonable companies should not go.

Google probably doesn't need to use fingerprinting. They control enough of the web that first-party cookies and google accounts probably give them enough information already.
The app helps sick patients navigate the healthcare system. Users get notifications like "Your prescriptions are ready for pickup" or "Your prescriptions are scheduled for delivery at 5PM", and it's a user requested feature.
I think the problem is that the demographics are already niche for the existing Linux on mobile software ecosystem on a device with as many software issues as it has. Then the issue of what little extra money they could make doesn't make it easier to find components that match their philosophy, much less performant parts, making a high price an even harder sell. I like their current strategy and it seems to be working for them. Slowly build an audience while helping the ecosystem to develop while maintaining a sustainable business that isn't prone to demand falling off a cliff because your phone is suddenly a year old and people want the new hotness.

> Something clearly operated to keep human population in check before its explosion over the last couple of centuries. But it was generally not starvation. The real problem is that population growth begets population density, and population density, in the absence of sanitation, antiobiotics, and other checks on infection, begets disease and death

That's an interesting opinion, but how does that model explains why eastern Asian countries (where rice was available) where able to achieve and sustain far higher population density than areas fed by wheat?

Also, pre-modern cities like Rome or Baghdad where much more densely populated than the average and have seen such population level for centuries, which means than population density in the rural world was far lower than some hypothetical limit level.
- consider that the same thing applies to sites that aren’t google/amazon/facebook that you might care about

Hi, OAM and KubeVela author here.

We originally created these specification and projects to facilitate delivering applications to Kubernetes without exposing all the nitty-gritty details. There's a lot to do to achieve such goal besides managing application templates, clusters, environments, cloud resources and service bindings, etc. We have seen common patterns rising up within companies of medium and large sizes. That's why we created them to provide common platform for others to build their own application platforms.

Let me know if you have any questions and I will be available here to answer them.

Sorry but I have to disagree strongly here.

Having two separate algos directly and actively trading in the wild is highly unusual.

There are obvious reasons for which you don't want your algos to trade one against the other on the market.

First, it's very dangerous as you can end up in the situation described here where you essentially self make the market.

But more directly for simple execution costs/fees reasons.

I don't know of any single player that has concurrent algos where there is not a "netting" layer between algos and the market, so that concurrent trades are matched internally before reaching the market.
> > centuries of case law trying to work out exactly what "free speech" means and how it squares with people's other fundamental, inalienable rights, because in real life it's not, in fact, obvious?

What constitutes "illegal speech" vs "legal speech"? Clearly, freedom of speech does not give you the right to illegal speech. This is what centuries of case law and legislation have attempted to resolve - what is illegal vs what is not.

EDIT: Heck, all law is like this. I could say "I want murder to be prevented, nothing else" but what if someone kills someone else in self-defence? When is that self-defence?

I don't know of any wallet implementations that do this. Seems like a basic user need. I think you'd have to run a full node to get geth to do it, but I'm not sure. Of course, ethermine is certainly running a full node, so maybe they should have thought about that, but I think normal users should have this protection too.

I don't have the hardware to mine BitCoins. You need expensive ASICs or at least very powerful GPUs, running 24/7, and you can't mine partial BitCoins. i.e. I won't get 200$ worth of BTC by investing 200$ in electricity.

Even if its possible, it would take days or weeks to get that much BTC. What if you want 2,000$ of BTC right now? Would you want to wait months before you get it?

And electricity cost varies widely between regions. Many areas in the US and China outright ban crypto mining.

If we don’t make changes to cover the costs of that hardware soon, AI Dungeon will not be financially viable."

I'm not the person you're asking, and I do most of my work on a PC running Linux now, but Hammerspoon is one of a few things I really miss about OSX.

I mostly used it to create small utility applications for the menu bar. Probably the most useful one was a Bitbucket pull request checker, which would monitor the status of open pull requests and display information about which PRs I hadn't yet viewed or approved, number of new comments since I last viewed the PR, build status etc. My job involves frequently reviewing PRs so this was really helpful for me.

I've tried rewriting this app for polybar on Linux but it's much more difficult to maintain, and sadly too much effort for me to bother with right now.

I haven't tried Keyboard Maestro - at a glance it looks really good, but doesn't appear to be open source like Hammerspoon. I can't tell whether it enables you to create stuff for the menu bar.
I'm pretty sure Hammerspoon can do anything KM can, but I imagine KM is easier to use, particularly if you're not into programming.
