Ran into an issue with my Home Assistant setup, using a USB dongle to create a Zigbee network. Had to use a USB extension cable to move the dongle a few feet away from the Intel NUC that it was connected to.

When I was searching for solutions to my intermittent problems, I didn't believe that an extension would solve it. It just felt like "blowing into the NES cartridge" to me. But I kept seeing the same advice, so I gave it a shot and whaddyaknow? Zero issues afterward.
Etherium has already surpassed it in terms of network effect, and will likely have more value held on it's blockchain than bitcoin in a matter of years.

Etherium is more oriented towards transactions than Bitcoin.

In the longer term, the value of Blockchain will be in facilitating transactions. In this, it's 100% analogous to the Internet. The current crop of blockchain is dot.com, where we're still figuring things out. People will look back on it and think it quaint for analogous reasons. I think Harry Dent has a section in a book about this idea.

An even bigger explosion of value will be created with the next wave analogous to "Web 2.0." No more multi-day dead tree transactions for settling checks, equities, real estate transactions, etc...
Same frequency band, so probably.
Because no-one has yet linked the actual poll, here it is:

https://news.gallup.com/poll/341963/church-membership-falls-...

It's a pretty short poll. Here are the highlights that Gallup cites:

- In 2020, 47% of U.S. adults belonged to a church, synagogue or mosque

- Down more than 20 points from turn of the century

- Change primarily due to rise in Americans with no religious preference
The problem is that for the most part all this asking questions and becoming informed doesn’t get your average person anywhere. I read a lot and know a bunch about a lot of things but at the end of the day I’m left with “the science” Lessing us without firm conclusions about pretty much everything I might care about.

And “I don’t know” isn’t really a practical answer. You have to raise your kids now, decide what to feed your kids now, vote now, not wait around for conclusive proof.

And people who say “beliefs be damned” don’t actually mean it. They embrace beliefs and value judgments all the time. Does scientific evidence tell us we’re all equal and created in God’s image? No, it’s something we choose to believe, and even people who aren’t religious believe a secular version of that as an article of faith. (Which is good!) Science says the average IQ of people in Bangladesh (where I’m from) is 82, a standard deviation lower than Americans. What do I choose to believe about Bangladeshis? Most decent Americans don’t say “well the best answer we have is Bangladeshis aren’t as smart as Americans.” They start from a belief about equality and work backward from there. The death penalty, how to treat murderers, criminal justice, civil rights. Science more or less doesn’t have the answers we need to these human problems.
^ questioning assumptions is good, even if (or especially if) those assumptions underpin the orthodoxy of the day.

Beware any religion, ideology, or group that punishes the honest questioner.

We're equivocating the term "sleep" here. Trees have a nightly cycle, but it's not sleep in the sense that I go to sleep at night.

If you want to help it stick, just abbreviate it as "ETH" and pronounce it "eeth". Ethereum can be a challenging word for non-native speakers, and shortening your words will help you save time when you talk about it. Bitcoin is a better name because it combines a new concept with an old concept. "Bit" + "Coin".

Or maybe the new answer is to call ETH "Eeth-coin". What do you think?

The Christian Church has been getting steadily less monolithic for the past 1700 years or so.

Some of the topics being discussed in our (US) church in the past couple of years:

* the devastating personal and economic toll of the pandemic and how we can help individually and in aggregate

* race relations in the US and the history of injustices caused by racism, including police brutality, and how we can respond in our daily lives

* LGBTQ-related topics, including the ability of people of different sexual identities to participate fully at all levels of the church hierarchy

* the environmental impact of our actions at the personal level all the way up to the institutional level as it pertains to human-caused climate change

You can find many churches in the US with people that believe in every possible belief related to all of these issues.

No, it's not just potlucks and singles nights :-)

I know of a few persimmon trees along my running route in Maryland -- I'm not sure what kind, but they produce much smaller persimmons than I see in the store.

I occasionally taste them throughout fall and early winter. They seem to go from "deeply unpleasant" to "mildly unpleasant" to "I suppose I could make jam out of these if I added a lot of sugar".
Haha, certainly there were some brilliant boomers that built the internet, but the vast majority of boomers missed on the biggest applications of the internet. I used to sell cell phones to boomers back in the early 00's. It was difficult to sell them on more than an emergency plan and then to get them to make the leap further that they needed a wireless internet plan? They thought it was a toy that they didn't need. Now, of course, they all have iPhones, but in the early days it was a tough sell. I would say my generation never even questioned the value of having a cell phone or an internet connection or texting.
I was quite surprised that this website seems to use a self-made map viewer. Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but it feels like by now everyone either just uses Google Maps and a minute, hardy fraction uses something based on OSM.
You're competing with something that costs a few cents. $8/$18 would be more than the value of some of the devices were dealing with here, and you need two. This is why Intel has at least twice now promulgated early specifications based on fiber and then fell back to copper; manufacturers won't build the products because users won't pay the price.

There isn't a good solution here. People want neato fast stuff and they want it cheap, small and everything else that precludes good RF hygiene, and no one wants regulators interfering. It's intractable.
Ok cool I can pipe ls into gz and pipe further into scp. Now what? How do I use it on the receiving end after unzipping it again? You still have to parse it into a structural list of files over there somehow to make use of it? Not everything is a tunnel.

Structural data can still be serialized easily, take json for example which’s spec fit on a napkin.
> High security comes at a price (barrier to entry, pay-to-play, and lack of options).

What are you talking about?

Implementing secure online applications is easier today than it's ever been before. Free signed certificates are readily available to hobbyists through Let's Encrypt and other projects, and there are a number of lightweight TLS libraries available if you don't want to use OpenSSL, such as mbedTLS and wolfSSL.
So just "engineering" then

I don't want to minimize your experiences, but you're taking those experiences and projecting them onto people and things (both those I mentioned as well as entire categories) that aren't really tied to them.

> people who would have been seen as caring, loving and kind people to their families and others that liked them

Good and evil can exist within the same person. Evil can also masquerade externally with the signifiers of good. I don't know the people you're talking about so I can't really comment on them specifically; but being a human means being a paradox.

Not that that excuses what happened to you. It sounds like that was very hard and I'm very sorry to hear about it. I can't really speak more to it or to the people involved because again, I don't know much about it. I simply don't believe that even the worst human on earth is irredeemable or worthless in principle, whether or not they ever change in practice. Of course that doesn't mean they should be left to get away with doing whatever they want to whomever.

> Many people will open the book, find the things that reassure them they are loving, caring, and a wise person, and close it happy

The other half of "nobody is completely good or evil" is that life is a never-finished journey of self-work. Doing what you describe is a trap that many people fall into, sure. But I don't think it invalidates the efforts of people who decide to do otherwise.

> Your friends don't try to convert you because they hide themselves around you. If they tried, you would cut them out of your life, despite your empathy; just mentioning that you will pray for someone can make them angry. If they persisted, really believing their friend was in danger of losing eternal life, you would end the friendship.

With respect, you don't know them. My parents, unlike my friends, do try periodically to convert me, and I haven't cut them out of my life. It causes friction between us, sure, and they've learned that and they've dampened it some. But we make the relationship work.

When it comes my friends, I simply know they aren't hiding themselves. We talk openly about this stuff sometimes; we have good conversations. We don't avoid it like I have to with my parents. I don't mind when my friends say they'll pray for me, because I know they're saying it out of open love, and not passive-aggression. We respect each other's agency, we know we're on different journeys. I've known people who weren't that way. I've seen the hollowness of ulterior motives behind their smiles and their social gestures. I know the difference.

Real relationships go beyond and above disagreements, and the ones I get to pick for myself are with individuals who can tolerate nuance and paradox.

> Really, all the stuff you say sounds nice, but secular people only show love to people who they think are lovable. When you become one of the unlovables, they will cheerfully drop what you say and bring out the knives, and your philosophy is worthless to stop it.

I'm not sure where this came from (though I'd be happy to hear more about it). Above you seemed to take issue with religious people, but here you mention secular (non-religious) people

Making a USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt device which doesn't kill WiFi when they are working together is really, really challenging, but still possible in practice.

Things can go as extreme as covering the entire USB 3.0 lane on the PCB with a solid RF shield from the chip, to the connector.

Things such as above preclude any chance at USB 3.0 getting into cheaper product niches.

I once looked for a good USB 3.0 testbench laptop to test devices with, but found out that laptops themselves have terrible USB 3.0 RF isolation.

I went through many laptops of reputable brands, but the only laptop I seen where USB 3.0, and WiFi were working flawlessly was a very old Sony laptop from 2010.

> We know from numerous studies that 2 parent families (mother and father) give the best outcomes for children (education, jobs, etc). In modern no-religion societies, where is the pull for good old family values?

That’s ironic given that the Church of England was solely setup so that the King could divorce his wife)!
> Finally, where do you get the idea that companies simply couldn't exist if they didn't remove user content that doesn't violate a few regulations the law would allow (like spam, threats, obscenity, and copyright, which would all be clearly Constitutional content-based exceptions)?

So if I want to run a website with comments I need a lawyer to review each comment? Like how am I, a layman, supposed to determine whether a comment violates copyright or is actually fair use? Or whether it's a "true threat" as opposed to bluster ("Next person who comments about X is getting slapped")? What happens if I wrongly remove a comment?

As someone rooting for [NetSurf](https://www.netsurf-browser.org/) (and any other remaining independent browser engines) to survive, I wonder if they'd be better off not supporting Javascript at all and simply focusing on good support for modern HTML and CSS, so it can at least be used to read documents. If Javascript is what finished TenFourFox, maybe attempting to support the full weight of modern Javascript and web apps is a trap. Let the big browsers try to be an entire operating system.

This has been said before. Everyone who is invested in the advertisement model will then start to hate on the idea, for obvious reasons. In particular, media, including journalists who cover these ideas.

However, the advertisement model truly sucks. It severely dilutes the interest of the actual consumer and actual fans, in favor of big companies who buy the advertisements.

> What should you do? Phrase it better. Post your reports with the attitude that you are just one user, using free software, from the humility of your own personal experience on your own system. Make it clear you don't expect anything from the report, you are grateful the software exists, you intend to keep using it and this is your small way of giving back. Say this in words because I can't see your face or hear your voice. Write "thank you" and mean it. Acknowledge the costs in time and money to bring it to you.

5 Mistakes Beginners Make When Learning Web Development
In retrospect, it was pretty much designed to become that!
A lot can change in a couple of centuries. Right now, Catholicism is still growing in South America and Africa. As people in those regions become better educated and affluent, they may indeed follow the evolutionary path of other more affluent economies.

But with the resounding recent rise throughout the world in populism (which is a form of faith, but in a person or a dream rather than an economy), it's hard to know how humankind will respond to the challenges of the modern world.

We could choose to retreat from our current immersion in fast-paced life via technology and withdraw into one (or many) 'simpler' ways of life. If we do it wouldn't surprise me if we also choose to reimagine the world that surrounds us as being less concrete and more a realm of possibility in which choose our own reality.

Haha. My mom was divorced and told by the church that she couldn't remarry. Not because it was against church policy, but because the rector at our parish was against it. So she had to petition the bishop who basically ordered the rector to allow it (and forced him to officiate). So I'm pretty sure that at least this church didn't give a flying hoot about whether my mom was lonely, or seeking marriage etc.
