> Why would you install the desktop app?

Not sure if this is still the case but the browser version didn't have the same noise suppression features as the desktop client.

Another minor thing for me was that the desktop client doesn't stack with the browser window in the taskbar (i.e. I can still 1 click both if I only have 1 browser window open which I usually do) and it can be minimized into the system tray.
I don't believe those are the only choices.
Xamarin.Forms was like an abstraction helper though, underneath all Renderers. You can/could make CustomRenderers for any custom controls or to access any native needs on iOS, Android and UWP directly. That is how most apps ended up.

Xamarin.Forms was great for getting prototypes going to get things running then going in and taking areas you need to customize, or all controls, and making them platform specific to the targets.

You can still have a shared library that does Content/Pages and most of the work shared. I don't know if Xamarin.Forms was ever meant to be a full solution but it is ok for prototypes and enterprise, for actual consumer shipped apps more customization was needed and CustomRenderers.

The Shared [1][2] setup this way is similar to the handler approach in MAUI where underneath the shared abstraction controls are converted into platform specific but you can do custom ones to override or combine controls.

I've been using it for a year and it works amazingly well:

- It blocks all of the popular videos out there I've tried

- For the freshest videos, I find the UI to be super-easy to submit a new video; you press a button when the sponsor segment starts, another button when it ends, then pick the category and click "upload"

ICOs? or smart contracts broken by never-ending hardforks?
> What is the "risky investment" here?

Well, you tell me. Where do the profits come from?

> In the case of crypto, the lender is a smart contract.

That doesn't make sense. The smart contract is a contract, that is, an agreement between two or more parties. An agreement is not a lender. The lender is one of the parties.
Indeed, lower satellite costs open up lots of possibilities. Another project is LISA [0], a gravitational wave observatory made of 3 heliocentric satellites. Pretty wild idea.

You went pretty fast from "you are just a cog in the machine and there is no 'you'. Sign here please" to "signing away your soul to the Devil".

I understand the first statement/feeling, and my reply was meant to say that it might be ok to take the risk that "you are just a cog in the machine". As for the latter statement, not sure where you got that one from, there was nothing in the contract that suggested it (and there was nothing evil in the job that I was originally hired for, either - it was code intelligence (code hinting) for PHP).
If your smart contact is truly reliable and anyone can lend on it at a rate of their choosing, and all loans are fully and perfectly collateralized, the natural interest rate is exactly the risk free rate. As above, for ETH I think that ends being the return on staking, minus the costs of actually running a staking node - so pretty close to zero?

The solution is to not allow the digital yuan app into the swift system. As soon as people figure out they can't convert their Yuan back into dollars they will use the app less. But if it gets approved for Swift then it would make sense to pay for items from China with the app and that would circumvent having to be converting dollars all of the time. Once people get used to not using Dollars and that will certainly hurt the US monetary system most.

Certainly China will also be able hide more money printing behind the app. They can give out Digital Yuan as stimulus unlimited and no one would know any better.

This is a pipe dream. If someone who isn't a Putin handpicked puppet gets elected, country will be taken over. Face reality: even the Belarusian KGB people are trained in Moscow (they don't have an academy of their own, just kept things the way they were in Soviet times). It's just a facade of independence. Whatever small bits of real independence exist, are only there of Lukashenka's personal ambitions to "own" the country - with him gone, nothing at all (and not even opinion of majority of people who are Russian at heard and see their independence as a historical fluke) will hold Putin from formally annexing the country.

Why there's a prevailing hate against xGPL licenses? Almost all of the core infrastructure which runs this Apache/BSD/MIT licensed software is running on xGPL software.

I believe that we wouldn't be here without these aggressive copyleft licenses, and some developers embracing this license again is a good thing. I'll always prefer Nextcloud because it's AGPL. Similarly I'll use Grafana with less hesitation since it'll be AGPL from now on.

Being able to see everything inside a software and not binned as community/enterprise is better from my point of view. I'd happily pay for AGPL software, and I already pay a lot of money for licenses so, it's not about money.

Asking out of mere curiosity. Apple's new iMacs give you the ability to switch user by scanning your fingerprint.

I assume that there's some code that converts your fingerprint into some sort of unique identifier but I'm wondering how it does this? How is the fingerprint scan data stored?

All answers/suggestions welcome.
That's a too simplistic view and not how sponsorships work. The sponsor expects a return on the investment. If a sponsorship does not generate revenue, that content creator will stop getting sponsorships because their audience is worthless.

I buy it to an extent. But what gives me pause: When we compare the early stages of the visual system of animals we see striking similarities to neural networks we train on visual data. The detectors in the artificial neural network converge to detect the same kinds of features found in the biological network. In other words the structure that we find in the networks comes from the data.

We can also see this when brain areas are recruited for tasks they were not specifically designed for. For instance visual processing areas can be recruiited for other tasks in the blind.

So while there is specialisation in brain tissue, rather than there being circuits designed at a low level for certain cognitive tasks, it is more that the connectivity and kinds of neurons within an area are tuned to excel at a specific class of problems.

It is softer and more diffuse organ than a "grammar gland". Rather it is a kind of soil within the mind that permits the growth of certain kinds of cognitive structures. Rather than being computer like and existing prior to the input of data, it is merely a capability expressed by the tuning of an overall system.

Chomsky's universals in this view become rather less important. It is merely the statement that brain tissue is tuned in such a way that it encourages, among other things, certain specific kinds of linguistic structure.

It's similar to noticing that the human hand is good stirring soup and then describing it as a soup stirring organ. Yes the hand has properties that allow it to be easily used as a soup stirring organ, but those same properties make it useful for some other things as well.

So as a parent, you gift the money to your children on the condition that they lend it all back to you until your death. If the children don't behave up to your expectations, you'll just spend it all on booze and hookers^w^w^w really expensive elder care and be insolvent by the time you die.

The bottom line is, if someone wants to leave a significant inheritance to their (grand)children, there's little that can be done about it with tax policies only. By the time you have plugged all the holes to prevent inheritance, you've also prevented most of the things we consider necessary for the function of a capitalist free economy.
> But as consumers, how do we expect the uploader to get paid for their work if we use both Adblock and Sponsor-skip

Sponsors and advertisers should realize that nobody wants to hear about the same product on every single video, have pages with more ads than content and have their privacy compromised - there's a middle ground where both sides can be happy, but the problem is that one side is continuously overstepping its bounds, causing the other to develop powerful countermeasures.

In addition Czech has the sound ř, which is almost impossible to pronounce unless you learn it in childhood. I don't know of any other language with that sound. Tongue-twisters will almost by definition explore the weird sound combinations in any language, but Czech is a fruitful hunting ground for these!

Interestingly, the geographically close but linguistically unrelated Hungarian makes up for all the vowels that Czech eschews. They're almost polar opposites in vowel usage.

>Why is inheritance moral?

Because we do not want to isolate children from their parents. A 100% inheritance tax is impossible from a practical standpoint.

>One person gets something for free,

Do you abandon your child as soon as it is born? Do you think your newborn should work and pay the bills?
No, you support it for 18 years and let it grow as much as possible instead of considering your child something to be exploited for money.

> the other works and has to pay tax?

If you inherit something from someone, that person had to work and pay tax.

I can come up with good reasons for wealth taxes, I can come up with good reasons for abolishment of land ownership (replaced by a permanent lease model) or heavy taxation of land but I honestly cannot come up with any reason for inheritance taxes beyond jealousy, jealousy that other people had more fortunate parents than you and your selfish desire to drag them down. If everyone started off on an empty earth it would be fair, but it also would be equally bad for everyone, instead of bad for an unlucky minority. Being poor in the US is a blessing, being poor in India is not.

Especially when there is a fair solution to the wealth inequality problem. Simply split the wealth instead of giving it all to the first born son. If people are obscenely wealthy, let them have many children and let each of those children be less wealthy than their parents. If you must implement this with a tax, then set a maximum amount that a single person can receive through inheritance in a lifetime, say $1 billion and tax anything after that. Yes, that means Jeff Bezos will have to find 200 heirs or lose the money to the state. It would be in his best interest to reduce wealth inequality at the end of his life.
What an excellent application of automating everything you can. Yay!

This is great. I'm already spamming the right arrow key as soon as I realize a video has segued into a "I sold my soul to..." bit. I appreciate creators who quietly make such segments a consistent length and clearly cue them, so I can accurately guess how long to skip :)

As for "but why???", well, I believe advertising is fundamentally broken because it has no feedback loop. It's "throw money at the wall and see what sticks."

Analytics and THE COOKIE MONSTER YEETS ALL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION tries to handwave a feedback loop into existence (with measurability, the appearance of substance etc), but that doesn't really close the loop either.

IMO, the complexity of modern privacy invasion is solely a function of the ridiculously high flotation point advertising confers onto everything it touches. I argue that the apparent success of that complexity is partly due to the fact that we simply cannot reason about it end-to-end, and have to reduce our analysis down to simple numerical metrics such as "X is making 1 billion dollars a year" ("wow that sounds successful"); and partly due to the fact that throwing trillions of dollars at a problem will cause parts of that problem to move of the way regardless of how fundamentally unsolvable that problem is, which can give the appearance that the problem is tractable when it is not.

Advertising might be the single most attractive thing in the world (a meta-correlation I find endlessly amusing) right now, but I can't help but see it as infinitely wide and shallow. What scares me is that it's growing faster than people's attempts to properly probe its depths; this will eventually peter out and-- oops, someone just popped the balloon.

Perhaps I could acquire sufficient sponsorship to fund a move to Mars before that happens...?

In the meantime, because of the lack of a proper feedback loop, there's a massive disconnect between the fact that the ad industry is growing on one side, while uBlock Origin has "10,000,000+" users on the other.
>right now everything suffers from high gas prices but it looks like that might be solved over the next 12 months

High gas prices are solved, its just no one really seems to understand or care about the technology.

Just as example, it might cost somewhere between $50-$80 in gas to use OpenSea's "free" NFT minting smart contract. But instead you can already use an L2 solution like Polygon(Matic). I minted 1,000,000 NFTs on Polygon(Matic) just to experiment and the total gas for all 1,000,000 NFTs was less the $0.01 (I think it was $0.00018xxx) and this has the double benefit of buyers normally having to pay the same $50-80 gas fees for an NFT on Ethereum Mainnet to only pay fractions of a cent. OpenSea even has a Polygon(Matic) Beta Marketplace, but funny story maybe after 1hour after my 1,000,000 NFTs were minted I listed them for sale and OpenSea took down the Beta for maintenance for a few hours and when it went back up they removed my NFT and listing entirely from the Marketplace lol.

Enjin is another interesting platform, which I'll begin to experiment with as well because it has built in staking and burning features, but until they adopt a side chain I think it will suffer from the same high gas fees.

Point is the actual tech is there, but it really seems all about the money not the tech, and that's why people are paying high gas fees.
