This is called "alienation from your labour"

It is normal for somebody who grows veggies to be able to eat one.

It is normal for somebody who makes coffee, to be able to make themself a coffee.

It is normal for somebody who makes cars to be able to make a car for themself.

Our society of capitalism where you make these things for someone else and aren't permitted to have any is abnormal.
I wasn't asking for a breakdown of you wealth, the fact you felt the need to provide it to me indicates that you are someone who puts great store in their ability to accumulate wealth. So, as much as you may dislike the implication that part of your dislike is rooted in having missed an opportunity, you are certainly not strengthening your case for the opposite.

My point is more that people who are always on the lookout to bash something they don't like usually have an underlying (often irrational) reason for disliking it. To go out of your way to expend that energy, when you do not have to.

I dislike Tik~Tok, I don't get involved in discussions about it, I don't share links to it. I dont even think about it, or the power it uses or even the harm it is doing to its users. But here you are on another thread about cryptocurrencies about to blow a blood vessel. Just an observation. Take a break from it.
This is an article about 2d histogram colouring where they discuss how you get a better colouring if you set the saturation of each bin by it's (columnwise) rank: that is you sort all values in each column and assign a saturation of 1 to the bin with the largest count, and then progressively smaller saturations as you go down the rankings.

Presumably they don't care their column wise colouring scheme makes it impossible to sensibly compare across the rows as each column gets its own colour scale. shrug
I don’t think I really admitted to myself how addictive my smartphone is until I uninstalled most of my apps and locked it down with a simple management profile (no web browser, no app store). I’ve had it this way for months and it’s so much more pleasant now, yet I still have the same habit as mentioned in the article: I pull it out whenever I’m in the bathroom. Now that there’s not much to do on it, I’m very well versed on the current weather conditions.

Freenode changed hands in 2018 to London Trust Media; this is well documented. What has happened now is that they are now taking over the actual operations of the network.

It seems London Trust Media recently rebranded as Imperial Family Companies; londontrustmedia.com now redirects there.
Just about every RSS reader supports discovery if you just put in the address you have in the browser. Personally, though it'd be nice to see the indicator that a site has an RSS feed, I'd rather not clog up my browser with add ons and just throw the address in my RSS reader on the rare occasion I come across a new site I'd like to follow.
I also want to give you another example. We know lots of people cheat taxes. Most of the time, they do so by hiding their money. If all money was a cryptocurrency, you could encode in the transaction rules that automatically on any transaction 10% is moved to the IRS wallet. Or you could have it that automatically at the tax due date, everyone's income for the year is talkies up and money from their wallet is transfered to the IRS. If you don't have enough money, an automatic dept could apply to you where 5% of all future income goes to payback what you owe. Etc.

That's the fancy automated stuff. At a minimum, it means there's be a truthful trusted ledger of how much money everyone made and that would make it very very hard for someone to cheat and hide their money.

So that's another example of how the tech could limit fraud in our system. It be the same system, but harder to cheat at, possibly easier to automate and scale.
They might as well put "Arasaka" logo into their website (for those who played Cyberpunk 2077).
The concept of NFT is basically nothing. Even if they somehow stopped wasting outrageous quantities of energy wouldn't change the fact that they're nothing but collectable receipts.
You're not really going out on a limb here. It has happened multiple times before. The numbers are bigger but the pattern is the same.
In the UK not US, but same situation, DSL keeps getting worse wherever I move, last move it was unusable (<2Mbit), with no fiber available, so mobile was the only viable option for modern web use.

Mobile internet can be a bit variable depending on time of day and the provider, but still way better than DSL for me, I get anywhere from 15 to 100Mbit throughout the day, although this level of stability was only achievable using a Cat20 LTE router (Netgear Nighthawk M2 with a couple small external antennas). They probably seem a bit expensive but it's worth the investment, not only for throughput stability but reducing packet loss.

Just don't ever buy mobile contracts for this stuff, at least not before trying out a PAYG sim, you need empirical testing to find out which provider is viable. I attempted to use open cell maps to figure out which provider would give best carrier aggregation in theory, but you don't always connect to the masts you expect, and even then it's reliant on back-haul availability and subscriber contention ratio anyway. In the UK a couple of the main mobile networks have unlimited 1month rolling contracts under different brand names now... so real competition is now possible!
There's been a lot of movement in the past few years on colormaps informed by studies of human perception.

Viridis, now the matplotlib default, is quite popular:

Voting for trump and being a trump supporter is not the same thing though. If someone is publicly saying that they're a supporter, that means that they support trump's policies and practices. Which includes bigotry.
I think a non-zero portion of the criticism is actually a criticism of collecting in general. If you think collecting things is dumb, you will think NFTs are dumb by default.
we also launched on product hunt! https://www.producthunt.com/posts/bugmuse-broken-button-dete...

Broken button bugs happen all the time, even to billion dollar companies (there is a nice educational video about this listed here)

Here are 3 common reasons:

1) Adblockers. Did you know 26% of the internet uses adblockers?

2) Server error. There's an actual bug on Upwork ($6 billion dollar company, check the stock ticker $UPWK) where clicking a button didn't work. When I checked the Network tab in Chrome Developer Console, it was due to a 500 error from the backend.

3) Forgetting "href" attribute in `a` tag. This actually happened to the "Sign In" button of a billion dollar startup.

How much would catching even just one of these bugs be worth to you?

I got this idea when I was visiting a car insurance website I learned about in a Snapchat ad....and their quiz was broken due to a broken button. Which was caused by...an adblocker chrome extension I had installed.

Now you can easily catch broken buttons that cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

Easily debug these broken buttons using "click highlights", which are screenshots with the click highlighted.
Actually, the influence of that company is old news.

Freenode people have now moved on with a new name. But the reason was that yes that company did have some control over that domain name apparently.

Go to the Freenode IRC (if it still exists) and talk to the people there.

Then go to the Libera.chat IRC and talk to those people.

You can confirm where the people are.
Firefox has RSS support until like last year iirc. It wasn't chrome that killed that, it was Mozilla shifting engineering priorities.
I agree, but that's an SEC rule and not something brokers can control.

P 7 says they need to publish the contact details, which presumably "You may also exercise your rights by contacting policy@libera.chat" fufills.

Also, their privacy policy does begin by listing one of the parties as the Swedish nonprofit organization Libera Chat.

> And no, a car isn't a basic necessity, not even in the US.

This varies considerably. There are many places in the US that are entirely car dependent (nothing within walking distance, and little to no public transportation).
> The blockchain is just technology. It makes all this more convenient, and possibly scale better.

That’s an odd way to say “less convenient and slower”. Everything you described could be done faster, better, cheaper and in a distributed fashion using PKI – the important part is that a legal authority signed a particular document. The blockchain features aimed at working in environments where people don’t know or trust each other aren’t useful when the whole point is having a trusted third party verify claims.
Yeah it's a value store. The only way it's not is if a nation state creates it and ties it to their currency. It's going to continue to go up and down forever.

Ultimately, fiat currency is backed by the fact that the people with guns who expect taxes to be paid to them expect said taxes to be paid in fiat currency.

The goldbugs believe that is insufficient as a basis and we should all go back to gold standard where it was backed by a promise of a government to give you an amount of gold (or further back, was just made out of that gold).

The crypto people believe even that is more basis than needed, and as long as people can agree it has value, and they all agree with each other that bitcoin has value, then it can be a currency.
It still the exact same thing in libera.chat
How was your experience using Godot? Why did you go with that over other engines?
I tried both Spectrum and Frontier at 1Gbit/s. I'm in Santa Monica. Only one example but:

Frontier was so much better than Spectrum — pings to 8.8.8.8 are consistently 6-8ms, compared to Spectrum at 10-30ms. And Frontier download speeds are 500Mbps-800Mbps, significantly higher than Spectrum.

The installation was also more competent and organized.

I'd guess there's lots of regional variation though.
> If there are any parts of their app which encourages gambling, I agree it should be removed, but the actual criticisms I read are things like "they use bright flashy lights like slot machines" which seems very unconvincing.

That's quite literally what gamifying is: providing the kind of visual rewards/stimulus, combined with an extremely low friction experience, that's specifically designed to work in concert to encourage engagement.

In the case of a slot machine, that means putting coins in the machine and pulling the lever.

In the case of Robinhood, that means executing trades.

Maybe you don't believe those features of Robinhood actually encourage trading, but frankly, the psychology around RH's design is pretty well understood both in the technology industry and the gambling industry. Hell, there's an entire booked (Hooked!) written about it.

> Do they need to make their UI flow less smooth, or give some big warning that people are dealing with real money?

Yes. Absolutely. Why would that be a problem?

Ostensibly RH's mission is to provide people with free access to the markets to "regular folks" (read: inexperienced traders).

That's not the same thing as encouraging day trading.

I don't see why features that discourage excessive trading (which is unquestionably an anti-pattern for a typical retail trader, and therefore is not in the best interest of the folks RH is supposedly trying to empower) would be a bad thing...

... except, of course, RH's revenue is specifically derived from high trading volume, so it's not in their financial interest.
Courts don't look kindly on attempts to circumvent regulations through financial engineering. If they determine that the intent was bad then they may treat the transactions as shams.
It wasn't the humble beginnings of my programming career (far from it), but I still ran into a similar situation in an internship at a recycling company, just a couple of years ago. "Hey we got all these daily excel sheets that someone needs to sit down and aggregate into these monthly balance sheets." A couple hours of VBA later and I had automated it.

Then a few days later, I happened to talk to someone from the accounting side about this experience. She mentioned that they were actually also tracking these same numbers and apparently had an automated system already. The production floor just knew nothing of it and had been doing the same task by hand forever. I guess the realization how inefficient organizations can be was probably the greater learning experience for me there.
> In my opinion, this comes off as shaming privileged people for their privilege.

I don't understand where do you see shaming. Even in points I think fit me, where I am rich person, I did not felt shamed at all. In points where I could relate to her, I did not perceived myself as victim.

> she focuses exclusively on her disadvantages.

Most of points don't compare her to others in a sense of gaining advantages or disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage was salary one and there the complain is mixed with her own behavior that helped situation to happen.

> She could probably say a lot about the hard work and lucky breaks she's had that have helped her advance in spite of her challenges

She could also write about drawing or socializing with buddies. Not everything have to be forced into "how I succeeded admire me" framework. Sometimes people write about other things.
Oh yeah, those hardware leasing fees are a goldmine for companies. Every so often you see a story about some old timer that is still paying for the hardware lease on their landline phone and someone does the math to discover that they've paid tens of thousands of dollars over the years to lease hardware that costs $25 new.
You can work with 24 bit pseudo registers in the direct page using the [dd],y addressing mode, basically scaling up the very useful (dd),y on the 6502 to be 24+16 bits instead of 16+8.

I am currently working on a compiler for the 65816 and has taken the approach of avoiding mode shifts as much as possible. I also lock the direct page and bank register to a fixed place while running normally. This simplifies it a lot.

Segmenting your functions/code block on 64K is not a huge limitation. How big functions do you write? LOL

The 65816 does require more discipline when programming than the 6502.

Yes, they all went 68000 which is no wonder as it was a step up further. The 16 revolution never really happened, we went from 8 to 32 bits computers.

Commodore did go back to modify the 6502 later, that was the Commodore 65. That the C65 project went as far as it did is beyond me. I would have stopped it immediately if I was shown it at the time, both from marketing and technical aspects. Today, I suppose it makes some minor sense to revive it as a curiosity, just for the sake of it.

I wonder how you can find the 65816 odd, when the Mega 65 comes with three altered variants of the 6502. Also considering that some well known 6502 programming idioms no longer works as before, as soon as you move the zero page or the stack. Having studied them all, I find the 65816 puts those 6502 variants to shame.

> Since at least January 1, 2015, Frontier has in numerous instances advertised, marketed, offered, or sold DSL Internet service at tiers corresponding to speeds that Frontier did not, and often could not, provide to consumers.

Doesn't every ISP do this? Isn't that why we have the wording of "up to n Mbps"?

I have had three ISPs in the past 5 years, and only one of them was able to occasionally deliver the speeds that they advertised for the plan during off-peak hours. I even made a twitter account just to let Verizon know, their reps didn't seem to appreciate it: https://twitter.com/VerizonFiosUser

I mean it's great a lawsuit has been created to address this, and I hope they win. But I also am pessimistic that this will lead to meaningful change for the big ISPs. Frontier might be the lowest hanging fruit to go after, but they are all doing this.

On another note, I could see value in a separate certification process that shows the actual average speed delivered for each plan in a given area.
And here's a good graph:

https://covidactnow.org/share/36630/?redirectTo=%2Fus%2Fmetr...

(think you may need to scroll up)

That compares SF to Orlando, Miami and LA. And SF includes Oakland in that graph (SF County's numbers are slightly lower).

That is for all the "then how do you explain how Florida did so much better?" people. Florida-vs-California looks better because SF is actually a bit of an island in this case.
This is probably a large part of it. The higher up the chain you go the more obvious it is - the system, the game, whatever you want to call it. Finally understanding what it means to sell your soul, and seeing that at least the janitor kept most of theirs.
Frontier has been bad company, not because the management or employees were being malevolent. This is truly a case of Occams razor, this is simply a company struggling with finances.

Mini Rant:

They went through bankruptcy, struggling to make ends meet, no bonuses, so all good employees left within first few years, no investors wanting to risk with installing or maintaining physical cable, and people, especially in this forum with hatred of ISP's, have no idea how expensive it is to maintain cable lines to every house in US, yet they expect GbPS for 39.99. 39.99 doesn't even cover truck costs for 5 years when somebody drives over or cuts fiber line on the street or digs to plant a tree, forget about any profit or return for the company.
I have zero doubt that there are flawed systems in some jurisdictions. That's the nature of the real world, with its ugly edges.

However a cursory examination is that MERS wasn't title registration at all. It was a registration of mortgage holders, where mortgages would be "assigned" to MERS. And the dispute wasn't over the accuracy of the rows in that database (which would be trivial to legally dispute and correct), but a technicality of whether MERS could be the one to foreclose -- itself a whole legal process, only at the very end impacting the title -- versus the one who assigned the mortgage. The net effect is identical, and I'm not sure if the difference between ABC Credit foreclosing on a defaulted mortgage versus MERS foreclosing means "stealing" someone's home.
If you 40% crash is back to where you were a week or a month ago, it is the rise not the crash that was anomalous.
Again, the benefit is not that the system is impossible to exploit in some way, the main benefit is that these actions are all recorded transparently, so you can have a complete picture of what exactly happened. That seems better than a database which at a fundamental level cannot have immutable guarantees.
As someone else on here pointed out, the IRS would consider this selling ETH and buying an equivalent value in DAI. Selling the ETH is taxable as capital gains. Whether the IRS catches your friend or not is a different matter.
The thing that surprised me so much about this one was that they managed to steal RPGs from military bases to attack their foes. That's absolutely insane.
If you throw away all the pretense is it just the case that RH has a better business model compared to etrade, Schwab etc? They recognized that consumers prefer zero commission trades, a good UX smartphone app, and don't care about the fact that RH sells order flow?

All that other stuff is noise.
I’ve condensed and repeated the anecdotes of others, which have been shared with me in this thread, and what I say now has no reflection on that.

But:

> bragging about your genitalia,

If you’re not doing this ironically, then what the fuck communities are you in?

> talking about your wife

Women can have wives, but sure, this is more valid than the other examples. People do talk about spouses/partners.

> even hinting at clues like your favorite truck or beer

Women -definitely- can like these things. Seems awfully sexist of you to assume not.
Back at school we learned that the kind of laughter we do because someone slips and falls is because we are happy they are okay (stress relieve) and happy that it wasn’t us. No idea about an official source but it stuck with me ever since.
Companies thrive (or die) off the difference between their costs and the amount they can get paid by customers.

There are many unscrupulous bosses that will use underhanded tricks to convince people to take less pay to help widen that margin. In my experience it is ultimately self defeating and results in lower quality people staying. In the short term, it is amazing what people can be convinced to accept (been there when I was younger). It’s also amazing what people can feel entitled too beyond the economics of a situation.

I’m glad you’ve been making some inroads.

Step 1 is fixing the ‘I can’t afford to be out of work’ part - it puts you in an incredibly disadvantaged negotiating position. You’re holding yourself hostage essentially.

Sometimes this is purely psychological (been there). Everything is so stressful it’s too overwhelming to look. It’s worth figuring out a way to get the emotional space there, or you’ll always be stuck.

Sometimes it’s already insufficient pay, in which case figuring out a way to interview for the higher paying job or get credentials for a better role is the best way forward. Sometimes partnerships with others to help save on costs (a classic traditional reason for marriage and cohabitation) can be really good for everyone.
Is it though? It seems that this was all initiated by freenode staff trying to walk back on the deal Christel made with rasengan, forcing his hand.
