Some choice excerpts:

"a bot paid a hefty 68 ETH fee to the miner in order to buy 100 ETH worth of KTN before anyone can..."

"The catch is ... there is a line in the code that says that liquidity snipers can't dump their tokens..."

"The @kattanatrade team even published the source code, with the "LiquidityTrap" feature, which prevents sniper from dumping their token."
For simpler needs, like being able to see when my network dropped out, without needing another device... On a OpenWrt home router, I usually install `collectd-mod-ping` and `luci-app-statistics`, and have it periodically ping a couple of different hosts that will answer pings reliably. (This can double for monitoring your third-party hosting.)

Caveat: since you're probably running OpenWrt on a consumer SoHo router, I recommend sending this logging data to a cheap USB flash drive, not wearing out the router's onboard flash.

An even simpler alternative would be to keep a browser window open with the OpenWrt admin UI's "Status -> Realtime Graphs" displaying.

(If you're new to OpenWrt, a fairly recent router hardware model that's easy to re-flash with solid OpenWrt, and fairly inexpensive: https://openwrt.org/toh/netgear/r7800 )

The Librem 5 is not as open or libre as its marketing has tried to insinuate, simply having its binary blob signed and validated firmware saved in write-protected read-only memory and loaded by a secondary coprocessor to exploit a loophole in the definiton of "libre" hardware to allow it to qualify for the FSF's definiton of "Free" hardware. This renders the firmware unupdateable without shorting a connection. In the event a vulnerability is discovered in the modems or radios, the firmware cannot be updated without physically dismantling the phone. Firmware initialization is also no longer under the control of the host operating system because the initialization is carried out from outside the OS: changing or updating software on the host will not address these design defects. Although the modems and radios are not attached to the host via DMA, they rely on USB for isolation, which simply shifts the trust from the kernel driver to the kernel USB stack, and USB was never designed with distrusting the device plugged into it in mind unlike SMMU/IOMMU, which is specifically designed to mitigate unconstrained DMA.

Current releases of the Librem 5 have been plagued by thermal throttling issues and poor battery life which in some cases has clocked in at less than 1 hour at idle.

The Librem 5 does not even support software encryption and no progress has been made toward adding even LUKS encryption. The Librem 5 lacks a secure element for any hardware binding on the encryption and so would be entirely dependent on software-only encryption.

The rebranded version of Debian that the Librem 5 uses as an operating system uses the same security model as the desktop stack, which is a perimeter or "all or nothing" security model. In the future, applications may be installed utilizing FlatPak. The threat model and measures FlatPak takes to meet it are as of yet unclear and uncertain.

Lived in the bay for 30 years before heading to TX. We're not staying but that's politics. Not going back to CA either, for the same reason. One thing I never knew about TX is just how beautiful it is. Natives don't seem to notice but it's truly breathtaking in many areas.
Don’t understand the negative comments about Firefox. I use it everyday and even though I share some of the criticism, compared to other browsers for me it’s the best compromise so far.

Can’t use chrome or edge as Google and Microsoft showed again and again that they don’t value the end users.

Safari (especially mobile safari) is holding back the web technology adaption.

Firefox (since they incorporated some rust code) is fast and awesome and Mozilla is the least evil of the bunch. The accessibility and privacy features are the best out there …

Also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26755252

If you have other browser recommendations. Happy to hear them.
Currently I use Firefox for most of my browsing, sometimes brave, opera in case I need to check social media websites (as a container). Huge fan of qutebrowser and nyxt (keyboardbased).

Thanks to Mozilla folks for keeping up the great work.
I was curious - just going by the same blog, there’s really not much to talk about (continued improvements to block tracking, an Android refresh, PiP support, VPN), but the tone suggests that delivering particular features is beside the point.
Indeed, due diligence is inherently not scalable. The world of finance has done everything in its power to overcome this constraint—basically all forms of risk pooling—but if nobody actually does the due diligence then you get stuff like NINJA mortgages repackaged into CDOs with AAA ratings on the senior tranche.
That's generally not what's happening with the mister cores. I haven't looked at all of them, but the ones I have studied are very high level in implementation.
> market makers could send a much smaller message containing their latest risk and model parameters, and have the exchange run a standard model internally to generate the quotes?

No market works like this. The smaller-still message of a price is sent and disseminated. When you buy a flight, you want the price of the ticket—not the airline’s fuel and tariff costs.
Although its not one singular person arguing I can't help but feel like the goal posts are pretty mobile here.

First goalpost high dpi video is already outside the range of human perception.

> I think we're hitting the point with video resolution that music CDs hit with audio, where improvements in fidelity are largely outside the range of human perception.

Second goalpost ok its not but its really close

> I won't argue that if you pick your content carefully, and know exactly what to look for, you can tell the difference. But, practically speaking, most people watching a decently encoded video won't see a huge difference from 1080p to 4k at typical screen sizes and viewing distances, and will see even less difference going to 8k.

Third goal post ok its actually clearly discernible but I mostly care about the story anyway.

> But most of the stuff we watch doesn't focus on visuals, it focuses on narrative. If I'm watching a legal drama, I don't really care if I can count the hairs in the lawyer's nostril or not.

Believe it or not but some people said the same about HD vs SD towards the beginning. It was complete bullshit then too. I too enjoy the story and psychological drama but its not books on tape. Film and TV are a visual medium wherein being able to see the world more clearly adds to the experience.
It is funny because the government of Iran actually refers to Israel as 'the great satan'. I think comparing the Israeli Defense forces to the US Military Industrial complex is ludicrous. All of the major wars in Israel have been self defense wars, where losing means de facto extermination. Compare that to all the wars the USA has fought since 1945
That vitriolic anti-Californian sentiment (read liberal, educated) from the prolific good ol' boys everywhere is a pretty big turn off.
A healthy work environment is the answer. Sounds simplistic, sounds trite, sounds like something not worth taking seriously. But it is correct.
This is nonsense, because the "change your life" for the better factor is actually enhanced if you work remote instead of working for the same company in-office. Do you really think a leetcoder getting a job with a FAANG in the Philippines isn't going to have a dramatic financial, social, and status surge if he is working from his home country instead of relocating to the Bay Area, where he has to compete with all the other leetcoders for real estate and other resources?

> Is yelling "fire!" in a theater an always protected speech?

Not if there isn't really a fire or smoke. And why should such lies be protected?

> If First Amendment isn't absolute - it's not clear - what are the important differences?

Must we go back to absolute fundamentals every time someone claims free speech? Inciting violence is clearly out of bounds. So much so that Trump and others have learned to dance around it with dog whistles and intentionally vague statements like "stand down and stand by".
> It feels like it's just the top brass getting as much money they can before the ship sinks at this point.

From the outside it really is hard to not come to that conclusion.

I'm still a Firefox user and I'll continue to be as long as possible, but like others I feel immense frustration when I look at the dynamic between Firefox and Mozilla.
I disagree with your assessment. I will illustrate why by using 2 specific points from the linked post:

1. From the post: "Changing these dangerous dynamics requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms.

Additional precise and specific actions must also be taken: [...]"

My interpretation of the above is that they support deplatforming ("silencing or permanent removal") AND "additional actions".

2. They mention "white supremacy". I believe that is a false premise. I am not white/of European descent. I will leave it at that since this is going OT.
This is along the lines of how I've come to think of music; music is a temporary emotional stimulant.

Flights can be quite cheap in Europe if you can take a low cost airline: ryanair, wizzair etc.

They won't connect every city, and connection flights are a no-no, but direct point to point flights are cheaper than anything else. Cheap flights across Europe is what allows a lot of low wage migrants to find seasonal work, students and young workers to travel and visit the cities etc.

The rich fly in expensive airlines, not with ryanair. Check this out: Paris to Bratislava, round trip for 80 bucks https://www.ryanair.com/us/en/trip/flights/select?adults=1&t...

Paris to Bratislava by train is 100 bucks one way (also taking much longer) https://www.raileurope.com/en-us/destinations/paris-bratisla...
That's all true and doesn't contradict what I said in the slightest. And while it does support skepticism, it does not support ignoring as-yet-unreviewed results on that basis alone.

> mindfulness is the opposite of any therapy I can think of. It is an ego-depletion technique proven to be detrimental to people suffering from anxiety and depression.

This is simply not true. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are two evidence-based, heavily researched forms of therapy that are intimately connected with mindfulness.

Second, I encourage you to cite the studies that back your claim that mindfulness is detrimental to people suffering from anxiety and depression. I'm not saying your claim is untrue, but such a claim does warrant backing.

> when you have an anxiety attack, the only thing you can do is to perform the grounding exercises.

Also not true. There are many things you can do in addition to or instead of grounding exercises. One is to simply allow it to happen or even try to make the panic worse. Paradoxically, that has been shown to ease the panic attack. I have personally experienced this multiple times. It takes a little practice but it is very effective.

On the other hand short-haul flights don't climb to as high of altitudes. They only climb about 2/3rds as high. But then again the air is thicker so cruising is less efficient. Oh gosh, for want of data.

The radioactive stuff in it is the water. This is super-heavy-water, formed with tritium instead of "normal" hydrogen. It's already been filtered to remove all other (radioactive) contaminants. There is no cost effective way to filter out the heavy water from regular water at the scale required though.
I would assert that the exact opposite is true. Taking a strong stand in favor of users would increase their market share.

Over a decade ago, one of the best things that Firefox did to compete against IE6 was to include a built in popup blocker that was on by default. Exactly the same criticisms were made.

It was called irresponsible and disruptive, since so much revenue came from popups, and horrible flash-based full screen pop-under ads. But I am glad that Firefox didn't let the pleas of the established market prevent them from siding with users.
I didn't sell my company to MSFT but I imagine it is the same. There will be a period where everything is great and you feel like you have freedom then that will end and you will be at their whims.

My advice is: day-one stop thinking about it as your company and stop caring. Do what needs to be done to help your employees and to make the transition to MSFT a good one and then leave. I lost a great deal of money because I cared and stay around. If I had sold my stock at the first chance I could and left I'd be a millionaire many time over. I lost it all because I made dumb decisions that involved caring about my company when it wasn't mine anymore..

Let's run them down one by one from the top.

1 - Effectively, ubiquitous wifi - The obvious direction of technology + market. Something Comcast / Xfinity was offering and expanding.

2 - Mobile devices with better cameras - Both were handheld with similar and overlapping technologies. The obvious direction of technology + market

3 - Landlines - The obvious direction of technology + market. I haven't had one since early 00's, and that was strictly as a back up for business purposes.

4 - Instant on - Who wouldn't want that? TVs do it. The obvious direction of technology + market.

5 - Non-UI UX - The obvious direction of technology + market, ask Siri or Alexa.

6 - SSD / Cloud - HDs are the fax machine of storage. The obvious direction of technology + market

7 - Movie theaters - The obvious direction of technology + market.

8 - Mouse? - See above about voice, and of course there's touch. The obvious direction of technology + market

9 - 3D glasses - Been hyped for the longest. The obvious direction of technology + market.

10 - No remote - Remember the infomercials, "the clapper"? Also, back to voice, or mobile device (see cameras). The obvious direction of technology + market.

11 - No desktops - He was midtaken.

12 - No phone dialing - Most comms aren't via phone number, and if they are no one dials. Ever since mobile devices - even flip phones - fewer and fewer were dialing. Again, the obvious direction of technology + market.

13 - Won't watch prime time - I owned a TIVO (DVR) in the late 90's and the promise of 500 channels is as old as cable TV. The obvious direction of technology + market.

14 - No fax machine - Never really a consumer product. Why would a 9 y/o need one in 2021? The obvious direction of technology + market

15 - No optical media - See SSD / cloud. The obvious direction of technology + market.
One can either become the anxiety (you're wrapped up in it), or be conscious of it's presence as an observer (more like a third party observer).

Personally, I prefer the latter.
There is a term I heard once for what you did: "Disobey the fear." You want to run from the anxiety, but at the same time, you logically know you're not really in any danger. Disobeying that urge to run re-trains your body such that after a little practice, the fear comes and goes, often barely registering in your conscious mind.
darn it, just tell me what to buy.
Hacked around with this Anaglyph tool in Audacity for some music I was working on: http://anaglyph.dalembert.upmc.fr/ Results were good, and it felt dependent on the resonance of the sound, where more pure tones seemed difficult to isolate the direction of (just like in real life).

There are a number of plugins like it, and I think even GarageBand has a spatial filter for it.

Was thinking through what a more modern audio game might be like given these features, it's such a rich area.

Water availability has careened wildly in the last 20 years. At one point our reservoir was over 50 feet below full, and it looked like we were headed into long-term sustainability issues. The wildfires in 2012 distracted Rick Perry while he was trying to run for president. Then, we had 30 days in a row of rain, which was unprecedented, and the climate turned into New Orleans for a few years. It's in between now, perhaps headed back towards desert?

The line between west Texas desert and east Texas just-about-Louisiana, moves back and forth over the years, and the reservoirs (and ultimately the groundwater) levels move accordingly.
... wait, what? 8 foot viewing distance with a 65" screen? Ok, we have very, very different definitions of "typical" here. You're using a 50% larger TV from half the distance.

I just measured our living room. We have a 43" (4k) TV at about 16' viewing distance. Just about every chart I can find on TV resolution vs viewing distance (assuming 20/20 vision) indicates that I'm in the "720p is fine" region, on the border of "You really won't notice a difference from 480p." Which is consistent with my experience. I can see the difference between 720/1080/4k if I'm right on top of the TV, but once I'm back where I actually watch from, anything I notice is more a factor of bitrate than resolution - I can certainly tell the difference between a low bitrate MPEG2 source and a high bitrate h.264 source, but that has nothing to do with the resolution.

I don't really have the motivation tonight to pull out my trig tables (I'm about to watch a movie instead, of what resolution I honestly don't know), but... at least for my case, yes, I'm saying I can't tell the difference. And it's entirely possible my glasses need updating (quite likely, honestly), but the "TV size vs distance" charts I've found say nothing of what you're claiming either. And they're by people trying to sell TVs!
I had anxiety for the first time in my life recently in the form of pain in my upper left chest. From a new job I hate (but pays well) and added to that my dad is very sick.

I believe the claim is that Blockstream supporting smaller block sizes could be a conflict of interest because they sell transaction services. This suggests that Mastercard could be backing them as a hedge for their transaction fee business, meaning the market's call for larger block sizes could be someday be manipulated/disregarded.

Only reason I'm paying attention to this is that if the market one day wants larger block sizes (i.e. hardware gets to a point where more people can run nodes to the point that a reasonable amount of decentralization is possible with larger blocks), Blockstream may hold bitcoin back from transitioning, and something with a larger block size could see a considerable increase in market size. I would think they would accede if there were a reasonable risk of bitcoin losing share because they are keeping blocks too small, but maybe not.
Shameless plug : for a little while now I've been working on a project with others to try a different approach. We use a higher level abstraction that does a better job of modeling the data than language-level objects. This eliminates the impedance mismatch. Because it's not language dependent you can use the same models (we call them "logical objects") with multiple languages.

The logical objects are hierarchical and serialize easily to JSON and back, making it simple to write REST interfaces. There are a couple of production teams making good use of it.
