these are transactions with extremely high value and often extremely urgent and not possible to merge together - e.g. the both liquidate the same unhealthy loan position (could be worth ~$10m+)

the whole point is it's not remotely easy to just "reconcile separately" when you have two mutually exclusive financial operations - these are not code changes made by mutually cooperating developers happy to change their code to resolve merge conflicts, they are actively fighting against each other

edit: this also point out how having a centralized entity decide the ordering of transactions is a horrible idea - sequencing is worth enormous amounts of money and you could not be trusted to resolve transactions in a way that is sometimes against your interests but in the interest of other participants in the network
It's mob rule. If the majority believes that the transaction should be reversed, it will be. There are no laws. There is no constitution.

Worse yet, your vote is directly proportional to your wealth. Or you allow for Sybil attacks.

If I remember correctly, Cambridge Analytica got its data from an university researcher. So, I would say that people could be worried when the custody over their data becomes spread among people they don't know and can't hold accountable.

> A lot of times, announcing that you're a woman on the internet was (is still?) seen as a request to be treated differently.

This is the problem, isn’t it? The women who state (not “announce” - never in my 25+ years on the internet have I attended an anon user gender reveal) their gender online and then dare to request they’re treated the same as their peers. They want to be treated differently than women are usually treated online. Equal to male and anon users.
There are a number of hobby projects that aim to do exactly that (provide the instant-on, boot to BASIC experience of old 8 bit micros) without just being a recreation of an old system.

One that looks particularly interesting is the Color Maximite 2, which meets your specs except for the HDMI out (it uses VGA):

Your math is off - for TCO you should be counting financing costs, not the payment itself. You don't really get away from financing costs by buying cash, incidentally: then they become the opportunity cost of not having the cash invested.

I think people wildly overestimate how much you can save by driving a used car. Used cars are frequently overpriced due to demand for lower up-front costs and lower payments. Edmunds' five-year TCO for a five-year-old Corolla LE is $27095, for a new one it's $26634.
Old habits die hard: getting internet from AT&T ime still requires leasing their 'modem' for a monthly cost while cable providers let you bring your own device to avoid the monthly fee.
I don't think you'll ever know off the bat if an idea is worth doing. A lot of ideas sound good to you, but there are so many unknowns, like whether you have a suitable audience and whether there's a good ROI.

As an exercise, you could try doing a rough design of a working system to get a feel for how much work it would be. On top of that, you could try imagining all the things that could go wrong and try to predict the likelihood of each. That's what I would do, anyway.
Just because there isn't a solution/implementation currently, doesn't mean there won't be.

I used to have Frontier for my Internet. The speeds were acceptable for my day to day until the local schools got out for summer. Then the network was saturated and I couldn't get fast enough speeds to do my job.

I tried to trace where the issue was. My best guess was the issue had to do with their uplink to the rest of the Internet. At times in the day it would get saturated because they didn't provide enough bandwidth at that point. There was a bottleneck.
No, it's been there for years.

But crypto clones are much easier to create and have adopted than a company with real infra. The phenomenon of “this coin is too expensive let’s buy this new one hoping it’ll moon” is very real in crypto and encourages the creation of clones. Then miners then trivially shift their hash power to whatever clone gets the crowd interested.
Yup, OMEMO and Olm are bit compatible. In fact XEP-0384 went through a phase of recommending Olm as the implementation to use (grep https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0384.html for Olm).

(Although the bifrost bridge doesn't currently implement E2EE - and it would have to reencrypt anyway to turn the Matrix event payloads into XMPP stanzas and vice versa)
It is informal speech. Some people choose to use informal speech in work environments. Others believe it to be inappropriate. I'm in the latter camp but I don't push my language preferences on others - just as I don't push my coding style. So now you've met two people, but in reality you probably are familiar with many more who are silent.
I not-infrequently see Google UI on major consumer-facing products that would have gotten me (gently) slapped down by "third-tier" designers, product managers, and UX folks—hell, even some of my fellow developers—instantly if I'd presented them. People making 1/3 or less what Googlers make (yes, in the US). There's something organizationally wrong about Google, I think, that causes them to turn out products that are, in very visible ways, sub-par even for the kinds of small-fish places I've worked. I don't know what the cause is, but whatever it is isn't producing only minor or subtle errors.
Its an interesting take, but I feel like this product and landing page has issues in its current form.

Website isn’t clear on what the product is actually for.

It is apparently intended to be used near a computer. Yet it appears to use cr2032s? They just end up in landfill. Why isn’t it USB powered? I have a usb fan, usb coffee warmer, usb light, usb clock, usb FM radio, usb cb radio. Why not a usb-spinning-wheel thing?

How does it compare to a repurposed keyboard with a wind-up toy connected to the cursor keys? Wouldn't that be better? No batteries!

Finally, why not just change the sleep mode so the laptop doesn't sleep at all?
you might have to elaborate because I don't understand. all transactions between N-entities are inherently mutually cooperating.

how would a transaction between members be "fighting against each other?"
Per a sibling comment, browser.quitShortcut.disabled in about:config works. For me, I just never disabled the option to ask before quitting when more than one tab is open, so that dialog always catches me before I quit by accident.
I don't think performance/load has ever been a real reason to only serve partial content. The actual reason has always been getting users onto the site where you can deliver advertising more flexibly along with analytics.

For my extremely minimal site, the RSS feed is still smaller than normal pageloads because it only has graphics by reference. RSS readers scrape surprisingly often, but the file is small and highly cacheable, and most of them do a HEAD request only initially and never ask for the file if it hasn't changed. Despite accounting for a large percentage of requests, RSS clients account for only a small portion of traffic. The cool thing is that a lot of these RSS readers are shared (commercial feed readers, ttrss instances, etc) and so they are caching the feed on their end and actually saving me bandwidth vs an equivalent number of users accessing the site directly - a lot of these put the subscriber account in their UA string so I can see that e.g. Feedly is making regular requests during the day but has 30-some users behind those requests. It's a better deal from a cost-perspective than those 30-some people checking each day.
RSS is a great piece of technology. It's like plumbing.

What we need is good experience built on top of it.
Yea that's really neat. Thanks to GP I actually went and checked out the video. Clenching and pinching, if that smooth, seem like they'd be less error prone than trying to use the tiny touch screen on the Apple Watch half the time.
Yes, that's one of the benefits. Firefox has a very large user-base compared to other FOSS projects so we will often spot bugs that others haven't noticed simply thanks to the sheer volume of crash reports we get.
> Everyday sounds can be distracting, discomforting, or overwhelming, and in support of neurodiversity, Apple is introducing new background sounds to help minimize distractions and help users focus, stay calm, or rest. Balanced, bright, or dark noise, as well as ocean, rain, or stream sounds continuously play in the background to mask unwanted environmental or external noise, and the sounds mix into or duck under other audio and system sounds.

Wow, I never thought of background sounds as something connected to neurodiversity, but TIL.

I definitely never expected Apple to get into the business of white noise apps, but here they are.

I wonder what the quality of these sounds will be, how long they'll loop for? And if all the background noise apps that already exist will continue to operate as they do now, or if they'll be able to integrate with this in order to take advantage of the new mixing/ducking features.
I had Frontier when they took over for Verizon FiOS in the south a number of years ago. Customer service was a nightmare and frequent service interruptions was the norm. I went back to the local cable company for two years. I've given them another shot after they offered an insane deal on gigabit, but I've not once clocked gigabit speeds on a hard line with my gigabit-capable nighthawk, nor Frontier's own router. I'm not going to complain about a missing 150mb/s because it's a hell of a deal still, but I would think this claim that they're misrepresenting speeds goes beyond their DSL customers based on my own experience.
I only realized a bit later in my career: If you ask for more and they refuse then bail out. You can nearly always get a raise just by moving companies so find one that rewards your efforts. My current employer is the first place I have felt like my achievements were appreciated and the appreciation resulted in financial rewards. I barely had to ask, let alone beg or fight for it.

If someone is willing to pay me interest to use my belongings to generate loans, then those belongings have a value. If you think that banking has value, then banks who use the blockchain ecosystem to provide banking services are generating value, correct? The question I would then ask, on the spectrum of risk, value generated, and trust, do these blockchain based financial institutions offer a complementary or competing product vs traditional banking. As of thus year, I would say yeah. I am close to converting a chunk of savings to stable coin abd putting it with a insurance backed blockchain financial institution, and am looking to ear a much higher apy than a traditional bank.
IRS considers cryptocurrency as property, and exchanging one for another is a taxable event.

See "Q16. Will I recognize a gain or loss if I exchange my virtual currency for other property?" [1]:

A16. Yes. If you exchange virtual currency held as a capital asset for other property, including for goods or for another virtual currency, you will recognize a capital gain or loss. For more information on capital gains and capital losses, see Publication 544, Sales and Other Dispositions of Assets.

There's a lot of good stuff here, but I have to say I'm disappointed that they still haven't added anything along the lines of Android's Live Captions feature as a system-wide thing for iOS/macOS.

I generally prefer Apple for their strongly pro-privacy stance, but this is something they're dropping the ball on. After living with this feature in Chrome for a while, it's such a big quality of life improvement that for the first time in years, I'm thinking about jumping to Android even though it would incur some extra costs to do so[1].

I can use Loopback to feed audio into the iOS or web version of Otter.ai on my MBP to fill in some of the gaps where Chrome isn't an option (i.e., FaceTime calls with family and friends), but it increasingly feels like a janky solution and I'd rather have something built in.

[1] - I like having a smartwatch so as not to miss notifications so I'd need to find a good enough solution for that, plus my current hearing aid needs an additional supporting device to stream from an Android phone, so that would run up some additional costs.
In the late 1980s I did computer work for a small business and was paid about $9/hr. It wasn't really programming though, more of an operator job with some hardware maintenance/troubleshooting mixed in as needed. My first job as a programmer, in the early 1990s, paid $32k base plus overtime and a yearly bonus.

I've heard this before, but I've gotta add: about a decade ago, when I was a newbie in the FOSS world, I remember a pm interaction with lilo. He was kind, unassuming, and helped me with some basic nickserv commands. I only came to know who he was much much later. That stands in stark contrast to most ircops there who seem pretty unapproachable.

And the quibble about a couple of K's really grates on me. The guy founded freenode and kept it going. Let the donations fund his groceries.
Making things easier to understand does not mean the person doesn't understand it. Just because adults struggle to understand common core math, doesn't mean kids aren't just as capable of solving an equation. Options don't need to be confusing and I actually find RH's educational material and examples pretty good to get a basic understanding of how they work.
outside of trivial transfer transactions there are much more complicated things you can do with smart contracts such as decentralized lending and decentralized exchange of assets

these are more like arbitrary atomic changes to on chain state that can affect many wallets and different contracts (and depend on the existing state) rather than just a transfer from my wallet to another address, which can be reordered freely

see protocols such as uniswap, compound, aave, synthetix, sushiswap, liquity, etc.

I did move away from IT after a burnout. I did volunteer work during that time, and since a while I'm working there. It's not IT related, but of course I'm the IT guy there now. No problem btw. It's a small part of the job and I like doing it.

Was it worth it? I don't know, it's too early to tell. I'm considering going back to IT, but in another role, one with more human interaction.
Apple putting disability support into consumption devices is excellent. The current approach of trying to boil the ocean - by modifying the world rather than helping disabled people handle it better - is a massive waste of resources and results in a poorer world for disabled people.

Right. When blockchain became mainstream in 2017, I went to a blockchain for government event, and they had a speaker essentially explaining that blockchain was an immutable database, and that it could be used to replace your existing databases with something that couldn't be corrupted.

This was the "business" interpretation of blockchain for a long time, and people latched on to the database part and imagined all kinds of things that could come out of a more accurate database, without actually understanding how this was achieved.

So we ended up with these use cases where blockchain was supposed to magically solve physical world problems, because "that's what it does", without any causal mechanism.

NFTs are here to stay, it's a classic short-term over-appreciation and long-term under-appreciation.

Art is only a small subset of what it's going to be used as.

NFT's is a protocol for distributed exchange of digital assets whether it's a sword you spent 10 hours in a game to acquire or a skin you designed and want to sell or a piece of generative art that you are the only person in the world who can show on your digital frame via a wallet.

You can't be an expert in this as little as you can be an expert in a startup. You either have conviction in this or you don't.
