If ads were sent to you at NO COST TO YOU, most of us probably wouldn't gaf at all.

But when every ad you receive has a cost in terms of your data allowance and a cost in time, it's just not acceptable.

I have had, at various times, a very restrictive monthly downloads quota. At one time, for nearly a year, my average maximum daily allowance was a mere 60 megabytes.

It takes no time at all for advertisement images at around 1-2 megabytes each to slurp up all of your daily allowance.
By that logic, every company has a monopoly on its own products.
Absolutely, It's a deep subject and I'm working away on some literature to try and shed some clarity on it.

Here's the my latest rambling > https://fsasam.medium.com/building-decentralised-web-experie...

I plan to start working on some developer documentation later in the year with concrete example and use cases.
Thanks. I tried "why is the universe growing" on both your search engine and Quanta's main page search. I got better/more relevant results from your search engine. Good work.
Ah, I didn't see the extra clone. I thought it was something to do with that additional variable you defined. I guess you need to do that or else you have to do a clone.
I am a fan of Wired magazine, not only the hardcopy, but their on line article seem to capture a viewpoint that is not in HN or Reddit.
They're back on WhatsApp because you and others still have an account there.

The migration to Signal has two parts: start using Signal, and delete your Facebook accounts.
I’m a Figma user and this is all way too complicated for me. I have no idea what any of this means, I just want designers to be able to share their mock-ups with me. I don’t particularly care about a mock-up from a few months ago. I wish I could just pay $20/month per user in my organization and call it a day. If I work with an external agency, I shouldn’t have to pay them extra.
A lot :)

If you've ever programmed, imagine kinda-sorta one move per argument per time you call a function. Like `console.log(foo, bar)` would be two moves. (This isn't literally true, it over counts a bit). Ffmpeg would be in the tens of thousands of moves for encoding a short video, maybe? They don't use unique_ptr, so it's hard to do a counterfactual.

An imperfect analogy is this is like nails/screws when building a house.

Thank you for firejail! I use it to sandbox Zoom, which is one of the few proprietary tools I need to use for work, and it works perfectly.
And what? Users aren’t allowed to discuss and make decisions on what products they use in a free market?
Gerrymandering is being fought at the state levels with some real teeth now. A fair few states have laws already on the books, and many more are considering such laws. It's by not means a solved issue, but awareness of it is quite high and there is real activism towards ending it.
This is not a reasonable summary of Progressivism. It has 100+ years of history and has a thoroughly developed ideological, political, and moral framework. It's not just "we'd like things to progress", because "progress" (vs "regress") is subjective. Pick whatever controversial topic you care most about, and the people on the other side(s) also want things to be better — perhaps by enacting the policies you hate!
That mountain of money they're sitting on probably helps.
I'm just going to repeat a question I posted earlier today on a similar article. Hopefully it will get more compelling answers.

Why should anyone believe they are pursuing a peaceful nuclear energy program when they do things like this? Surely the best way to convince people you are the peaceful victim is to continue to demonstrate peaceful intentions even when others don't reward you for it.

For better or for worse, the JCPOA was abandoned and the accompanying incentives for Iran to limit the scope of its nuclear research disappeared. But that doesn't mean Iran is incentivized to develop nuclear weapons. Continuing to adhere to the guidelines outlined by the JCPOA would help build trust from the rest of the world that Iran really just wanted a peaceful nuclear energy program. Instead, their recent actions only seem to build distrust.

After laying their intentions bare like this, why should anyone trust them with JCPOA 2.0?
Discord is not end to end encrypted, and thus should be actively avoided.

It is reasonable to assume that every single chat and every single DM is logged in plaintext by Discord for all time.
> Moxie's involvement with MobileCoin

At best we know that he (claims to) have no coins. But that he was an advisor for them and focused on what he saw as a problem with crypto payments: speed. But yeah, there are still a lot of open questions here.

> The concerns about regulatory risks/attention involved with a cryptocurrency integration.

They addressed this before and the code reflects it. They whitelist country codes that allow it.

> Why it involved hiding the server source code.

This was weird and I'd like it addressed but probably not relevant to this particular topic/post.

> The idea of privacy-friendly transactions easily available within an app I'm already using is attractive,

Same. I mean it is a core element of the cyperpunk manifesto[0]. But I don't want to use a payment system that is volatile. If I have to choose to be beholden to services that collect my data or use a currency that is volatile, I'm going with the former every time. This is the question that I would have liked to be further addressed.

> If my question provided no introspection for you

This is more taunting hyperbole. It doesn't leave me with the impression that you want to take this seriously, and more that you want to position yourself in yet another culture war skirmish.
As someone with a family member working in a hospital who still couldn't get reliable PPE after 3 months, I feel that you live in an entirely different universe than I do. Would that we would have lived in a country where PPE for nurses, physicians, and hospital workers were prioritized in summer 2020. Hah. Hospitals were not in a position to get their own; I saw them jockeying for shipments from China and Korea and it's just ludicrous to expect people to get their PPE in bidding wars that involve calling in favors from the chief cardiologist's wife's uncle who owns a factory in China.
I believe I'm using Plaid, to use the budgeting app I use (YNAB).

Can anyone tell me what the risks are? I seriously thought this was a pretty safe thing to do.
Can't really think of anything that has the same sort of deterrent factor as a nuke.
> But I also recall, as I pursued my studies, feeling culturally isolated: few of my classmates looked like me.

This statement feels a bit yucky to me. Like the whole premise of this movement is that diversity is valuable, but then there's this feeling of discontent about a lot of people not looking like you. It kind of reeks of hypocrisy, if I'm being honest. Even if black women were represented in programming in a way that reflects America's demographics, "few of my classmates looked like me" would still be true.

> Much has changed since my college days, but there’s still a dearth of African-American women in science, technology, engineering and math professions

In agreement so far...

> an absence that cannot be explained by, say, a lack of interest in these fields.

This is where it falls apart for me. This is an assertion without evidence. I haven't yet heard a convincing argument (or really any argument) that people of different cultural, racial, gender backgrounds will gravitate towards similar professions, on average.

To me, the better question (and harder to address) is "_why_ do you feel so utterly disconnected from white and Asian men on a person-to-person level that you would be pushed out of a dream job?" We're all human beings, and there is plenty of common ground to be found in that. The long-term goal should not be to have your Netflixes, Amazons, and Googles of the world full of black, Asian, latino, and white men and women all sitting at their own lunch tables. Unfortunately, it feels a lot like that's where it's going to me.
Bad guys use WhatsApp to communicate but that's not given it a bad image, in fact just the opposite. When it was revealed that WhatsApp encryption was used by terrorists in the UK and the government wanted a backdoor the image improved as more people learnt about it and learnt that it works.
According to pro players, this isn't true - Pita claimed he contacted Valve's twitter a long period of time before the whole ESIC investigation blew up.
We could have spent a quarter of the money we did and had the same outcome. There's absolutely no reason for the US to subsidize peace for the rest of the planet to the degree that it does. Every other liberal democracy on Earth gets to enjoy affordable housing, subsidized healthcare, affordable or free college educations, pensions, and a nice fat bank of vacation hours every year. We get a bunch of morons in blue who barely got out of high school using military grade gear on our own citizens because the armed forces has too much of it.
Just some observations:

- I don't have any info on how this works from the repo. 99% of people will click on the repo and click back because of the lack of this. I went on google and found a [this](https://sideprojects.net/posts/NB697xnBrWQioywoP/rentmycpu-r...) link, but still no information.

- How are payments processed? Do you need to trust the other party a good amount? As a cpu cycle seller, how do I know I'll get money for time I process? How does a cpu buyer know they aren't getting scammed?

- How are computations done? If I have to re-write my existing software to leverage this, I might as well rent a VPS to save a lot of time.

- Do I need to select user by user at a granular level to run my tasks, or can I just throw a task + $ at a pool and have the system figure it out?

I love the idea though, it's really been a bit of a pipe dream for the past 20 or so years. It's just a very tough problem to execute correctly. Best of luck.
Why the secrecy? You’ve published a steam page and built a discord community about it. Why not ask people here what they think about it?
Any time there's a project that's almost open-source, almost open standards, that's how it ends up going. If you'd gone for Matrix you wouldn't have that problem, because even if their developers decide to embed some bitcoin nonsense into the official client, the protocol and ecosystem is much bigger than that.
Agree. 10s of millions in infrastructure running in us-east-1 here. Honestly it seems to be the only reliable way to teach people about failure and the importance of reserving capacity.
How does security work?
To clarify the only coins that meet their privacy requirements are ZCash, Monero, and MOB. The only subset of that that meets their transactional speed requirements is MOB.

At least AFAIK. There's a ton of alt coins so I might have missed something.
I think a lot of publications and scientists are now aware of this so they adjust their experimental design to not allow for a whole bunch of parameters or small sample/population size.
Fair point, but it must be added that it can be valid only as long as one understands and accepts the risks and possible consequences (including the social factors), and doesn't spread it further to anyone without their full awareness and explicit consent.
Don't expect to get 12 upgraded any time soon!

I wanted to upgrade to 13, started the process 5 hours ago, "Fetching 10652 files.." then 5 hours later.. 5360.. 5370..

I'm on a gigabit network with a powerful machine.

This will take at least 12 hours to upgrade!

I'm sick of freebsd-update for upgrading from release to release! It's meant for minor upgrades, not giant upgrades.

And then there's the issue with the update mirrors. There is a gazillion mirrors for the normal downloadable files, but only three horribly slow mirrors for the upgrade!
> Single node proxmox VM/LXC mix homeserver. Is learning K8S worthwhile?

Maybe, although if you're fully happy with your current setup then probably not unless you just want to explore and learn new things.

I use kubernetes "at home" (ok, well it's an OVH server, but I use it for personal/home stuff), and I like it. I happen to run a wide variety of apps for myself and friends, already used docker, and I was somewhat reaching the limits of docker compose.

I really like the consistent ecosystem, and that k8s cleanly deals with problems like TLS termination with LE[1] and automatically updating my DNS[2]. I like that I can just write down what I want in a YAML file and don't have to mess around with docker commands or package managers or what else.

It's not for everyone, but I wouldn't say there's no value in it, especially if you're already using containers or a similar tool.

If anyone else wants to carry the baton and provide answers to any of my questions or have a discussion about it, this is the thread to do so

I answered your flipped around question and you still deflected away from answering, hoping for me to prove a new standard of why I’m not “anti-woke signaling” while I've had this skepticism and questions my whole life which predates those terms.

Shame. Not necessarily on you, I think people are almost at the place to want to have this discussion, as this is the most productive discussion I’ve had so far. Either I get slightly better with wording to avoid the “ah this guy doesn't think like us on the topic of suicide” shutdown (while suicides keep happening because [maybe] copypasta doesnt do anything), or people get slightly more open to talk about why they approach suicide prevention this way.
I prefer paper to study on. But when it comes to making notes on the computer I just use notepad. If I need a diagram, paint.

When the whole point is to engage your brain, get your imagination going to envision the topic at hand ; plain content is all that matters, let your imagination do the work.

I think it is also why "movies vs books" have a lot of "the book was better" proponents.
We don't really do 'home staging' in the UK, so they wouldn't have known this.
I’ve heard my right wing family members talk about voter fraud since at least 2000, but it’s basically a symptom of the bigger problem, which is a failure of belief in human nature. Changing the topic briefly, how do I know that 9/11 was not an “inside job”? Do I know anything about whether jet fuel melts steel or surveillance of the Pentagon hit, etc.? No, I do not. How then? Well, I know human nature, and so I know a conspiracy involving thousands of people cannot be hidden successfully for twenty years.

Okay, so was there widespread voter fraud in 2020? Prior elections? I’m not an expert in election monitoring, but again, I know about human nature and the mainstream media, so I know that if there were, it would be known.

But the Republicans have decided they just don’t believe in Americans anymore, so they don’t trust anything. It makes unity impossible. I think the only cure unless something really changes is divorce.
Yeah, right. By the way, I have a bridge for sale.
It maybe a bad argument but it's a practical view. Governments around the world (see: India, China) have strict laws around crypto. By law of association, any service that remotely mentions this is severely scrutinized. I can hardly blame my friends if they want no part of this.
It’s a fundamentalist regime, they are developing nuclear weapons and are open about it.
Dunning Kruger, while it does have a precise meaning and was experimentally discovered, in common usage of the term it is just a way to say someone else is dumb without using words like 'dumb'. Not only are they dumb, they're so dumb they are too dumb to know they are dumb! Not only are they soooo dumb, I'm very smart, so smart I use words to talk like smart people, with big special words that are from science. Plus, I bet I underestimate my own skill level. How humble!

I've never seen someone cast themselves as the one that might be overestimating their ability.
+1 for bandcamp, I promote a lot of indie music and its the most fair payment you'll receive (see here: https://medium.com/@gloom303/a-year-ago-i-released-an-ep-on-...)

Other distribution strategies I don't know a "global" silver bullet, there are a lot of tastemaker youtube channels like "harakari diat" "stoned meadow of doom" that can help with promotion but won't earn you any income. Similar with getting on spotify playlists through distributors etc.
All centralized communications and social networking platforms will fall to pressure to sell at this point, if that wasn't their intention (this seems to be the exit strategy of most startups these days). The alternatives exist, but they don't have marketing budgets. They're things like jabber, matrix, Jami, and the many ActivityPub implementations out there.

We have the alternatives already. We can use them now. To me this defeatism is like jumping out of a plane with a parachute and saying "I guess there's nothing to be done now." It starts with you making the decision to use something else. It is harder because of the lock in. But there's only one way to do it.
What harm would it do to post some Bible passages under such posts? That might help someone. If we’re just doing everything that might help and wouldn’t seem to hurt.
>Some of those books might even be strategically placed so that they are in clear view. You can discern a little about someone's interests by what's on their bookshelves, but perhaps not always accurately.

That was VERY obvious with public figures during the last year. I actually laughed a few times at the dichotomy of either partially empty shelves with these weird "poignant" books on prominent display. I usually pondered if they had actually read some of them...
In my neck of the woods, kids are in school and going to wrestling tournaments and before that hockey tournaments that got to be superspreader events. We're certainly not denying kids sports where I am, or the opportunity to infect their older family members (yay!).
I like the idea of an objectionable content filter that's personalized like a spam filter. People don't always agree on what spam is, and they can change their minds at any time.
As someone living in Asia, its clear to see that Asia is the future.

Looking back at life in North America, it looks so crude and old fashioned. People are constantly bitching about politics and one party or the other. Karen's are ratting everyone and wanting to see the manager.

Is life perfect here? Hell no.

But it seems in the west we are fighting over the past instead of fighting over the future.
What harm could the owner claim and who would prosecute that?

I think an act of shutting down exploited servers is being overthought here.
Beyond assisting with contractual matters and negotiation, I feel this is the last value proposition of real estate agents.

We've had videos and virtual tours for a long time. I no longer need someone to show me around a physical space.

Making the process of searching for - and hopefully purchasing - your "dream home" as smooth and safe as possible is arguably the best way for these agents to retain their jobs as we enter an age where much of what they do can be automated.
The entire DKE paper is trash, as most papers are in psychology.
It's actually pretty trivial to build a mechanical governor and they have existed for hundreds of years [1]

Everything comes down to political will. The German manufacturers have an informal agreement to limit all their cars to 155mph as to avoid the government adding further limits to the autobahn.

If you go Android, definitely take a look at userspace firewall options. I like and use NetGuard, it's open source, and all done through the local VPN API (no traffic leaves device) - gives you control of which apps can go online. If you install it from GitHub (rather than the play store, no root required either way), it can do local DNS host blocking too.
What are the conditions for people feel the urge to migrate over to deno?

Currently, I don't see enough reasons to switch to deno for primary projects.
Wow. This is crazy unconstitutional. DOJ could seek civil injunction perhaps, but using criminal authority to break into servers without probable cause of any criminal action is crazy bad.

Another good reason to stop using proprietary binaries and instead compile your own source - even if you use code under proprietary copyright. Imagine if France also decided to "help" and bricked your server on accident.

An additional problem with volatile coins, at least in the US, is that their appreciation becomes taxable when they are used to buy something. So every transaction has to be reported to the IRS. If you neglect to do that because it’s just small amounts, the feds will charge you with a process crime years later, because they don’t like you, your appearance or your politics.

It's been continued with adequate consultation. I was supposed to have my AZ this morning (however had to postpone) as part of the 1b category. 35 yo male. I'm ok with getting it but i would kind of like the pfizer one coz i'm a nerd and the pfizer vaccine has more science in it.
I think it has more to do with culture — the way moderation occurs enforces a certain style of good and bad behavior, and once the community is trained correctly, it becomes self-enforcing. And people have a natural tendency to conform, and if they refuse to, quickly leave to find another group more relevant to them.

The problem with most communities is that there is no culture being enforced — whatever grows, grows haphazardly and randomly.

It’s also why good communities tend to start small and grow slowly — and why eternal September is so deadly. If you have too many people enter the system too quickly, that culture can’t be enforced and trained before the next group of people come in. Rather than having the “elders” teach their ways to the “young”, it becomes the young teaching the young.

As an additional influence, those elders tend to leave and establish new communities, making it such that the problem can never be corrected.
I should have stated that more clearly. In Python, "or" is both an operator and a keyword.

In most languages, numeric literals, identifiers, and keywords cannot be adjacent, but any of then can be adjacent to a token that consists of punctuation characters. (In some languages, most or all operators spelled using punctuation characters, which is what I had in mind when I wrote my previous comment.)

As a general rule in benchmarks, if product A does something in 1 ms while product B doing it in 500 ms, something is wrong. Either you misconfigured it or these products serve different purposes so they are not comparable. Either way, your benchmark is flawed unfortunately.

As a general courtesy, when you see a dramatic difference, it’s better to involve parties or ask for review before publishing your results.
