I do care, thanks for bringing it up. However that feature doesn’t work if you’re airplaying to a device or if another non-iPhone is playing your music (like a HomePod).

This makes it inconsistent at best and useless at worst, and doesn’t make me feel any better about Apple software quality.
We already know that missing or incompetently configured encryption exists, we see IoT stories about this all the time, and we already see news stories when the occasional internet creep gets caught peering into the encryption-unencumbered private lives of friends, classmates, colleagues, or strangers. This is already a problem which we can readily point to as reason not to exponentially increase the number of peepholes already on the internet. Sure, it might solve the end-to-end encrypted sharing of that content - by flooding the supply so much that there's no point.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking everyone else’s life is perfect because they are always posting photos of the best moments
I have always wanted to try setting up a low-tech version of this, where instead of using a light-field display, you assume that you have only one viewer and you simply render the correct point of view on the screen. This is the same technique used to shoot The Mandalorian [1], but in this case we're only trying to make a "pane of glass" so an ordinary high-res TV will do. With both participants positioned correctly, you will get correct accommodation, vergence, and parallax depth cues---only stereopsis is missing, and stereopsis is much less important than people think. 1/3 of people don't even have good stereo vision! [2]

As long as you're willing to give up stereopsis, and you have only 1 viewer on each side, I think you could accomplish this type of immersive telepresence with an ordinary TV + software.

The decision to use 32 ETH was a trade off based on the exchange rate at the time, 32ETH being ~$5k, which the devs thought was enough so that it wouldn’t be cost prohibitive to get involved and hurt enough to stay honest. When the exchange rate changes dramatically, like it did and will in the future, it changes the incentive structure in staking. So, yes, the current implementation’s incentive structures do depend on the exchange rate.

This post makes me feel weird. Because I don't want to be forced to put on niceties for an inanimate object. I want to order my device around. Not as a power trip, but simply because it's a device, whose function is to complete commands.

I'm sympathetic to your points on why that's a bad vibe and might not be great when the line is blurred, but... I don't know. It seem strange to afford rights, if only conversational/social rights, to an object.
Well that wouldn't be a consumer product then. But I would pay as much as a high end tv. 2500? Maybe more? The experience looks to be transformative.

Great points! I'm glad to be talking with someone far more knowledgable on games than I.

Do you think with current technology we could build a primitive version of MORPO (Mastodon meets Oasis from Ready Player One)? Enough that a gradual roadmap to MORPO can be envisioned as technology progresses? Laying the groundwork so to speak.

Your problem isn't the Internet, it's the lack of trust busting in the tech space that prevents e.g. Disney from being able to launch its own streaming service or Amazon from promoting its own Basics products. The reason why everything sucks is because big players have zero incentive to change when they aren't punished for favoring themselves. Instagram doesn't even allow you to copy and paste photos anymore.
Thanks for making bit-sync, it's awesome! It immediately got me thinking about cool things you could do in the browser with it! It's great that they didn't try to reinvent the wheel and used your work.

The WebRSync doesn't seem to be particularly active so I don't think you have to worry about it, but if you find time to modernize your lib that'd be awesome -- just need the JS community to get their excited about doing cool stuff with rsync in the browser (sprinkle some WASM in there maybe somewhere).
A fantastic twist would be a reveal showing that the other person (no longer) exists in the real world and is digital construct... or some forbidden knowledge is secretly interdicted and censored by big brother, body-snatching peoples avatars in real time.

It isn't.

It's estimated there are around 1000 private tanks in the US, and there are tank dealers in the US, UK, and Australia. Surely other places too.

To add some context, according to PISA, most Americans are doing just fine, and the best Americans are amazing, but there are problems within certain groups [1]. There is no 'general slowdown' - it's more of an isolated issue, but those groups are growing a little bit in number so averages look off.

Also, it seems as though the Chinese test-takers for PISA are not a fair representation, there's cherry picking there like they are all from Beijing or Shanghai and from good schools etc..

Finally - there is a really hard discussion to be had as the CRT perspective is that math itself (focus on correct answers, objectivity etc.) is racist and built on an inherently white/western/colonialist paradigm, and encourages other forms of expression as 'equally correct'. There's some academic points to be had there, surely, and maybe dropping 'entrance exams' as primary criteria is also a good thing overall - but - the rejection of science and math and essentially enlightenment principles as basically cover, or an excuse for non-achievement isn't going to work. Also in general there's too much focus on the education system itself, instead of the students, their home life and culture - if nobody shows up, nobody likes math, people are bullied for doing well, all role models are antagonists instead of positive, parents don't care, or don't know enough to encourage some conscientious outcomes - then nothing on the educational side will work.

There seems to be some success in pulling otherwise decent kids out of 'really bad schools' but unfortunately that just leaves the bad places a little worse.

'Bad Math Scores' might be a little bit more a function of overall social malaise than just 'focus on math' itself, if we can get stable homes with parents who encourage kids, where gangs are not prevalent etc. then there's hope.

Edit ----

While we are add it have a look [2] - from the OECD which breaks down PISA scoring by immigrants in various countries.

This is maybe helpful because it gives a basis for other countries to get how 'non majority' people do elsewhere.

The most interesting artifact of this is that - after accounting for economic standing - immigrants in Anglosphere countries (and some other small expat nations like Qatar) do exceedingly well - better than the local kids!

While migrants struggle and do 'worse than' average kids in most nations - after you account for their depressed economic status, immigrants to better than average in Canada/US/UK.

Oddly - eveb in places with exceptionally high educational standards like Finland - immigrants to 'very bad' even when accounting for income.

Literally Finland is a 'Top 3' place for education, and yet, they are essentially at the very bottom when it comes to kids outside normative culture.

This I think is insightful and I thing suggests that the US for example doesn't have anything resembling 'toxic teaching system' - at least migrants, who are generally outsiders to the 'majority culture' do relatively well.

OP here. I finally ditched Evernote when they made the Mac app Electron. I've tried Obsidian but it didn't stick (and it's Electron), but hear very good things about it.

I decided on DevonThink since it closely resembled what I used Evernote for but ditched it after just a month due to to bad iOS apps, weird default formatting issues, hostile developers (license covers max 2 computers, and refusal to support a few basic things).

Stumbled upon Ulysses and I've been using it since then. Excellent plain text/Markdown support (you can turn off the markdown formats you don't want to use), sensible default fonts and such, fast and native Mac app, great iOS apps, etc.
Doesn't make sense until we have at least thousands of qubits.
Oh. FYI, those circumstances aren't in the post.
The editorial may or may not be a gish gallop; I won't venture there. The source material at https://equitablemath.org/ is very much worth discussing, though.

What about the contention in Stride 1 that "either-or thinking" and "objectivity" are tenets of white supremacy?

That's an absurd assertion; if we accept it as true, that cuts the pillars from underneath pretty much all western philosophy. I suspect that's one of the goals of this organization; otherwise, why wouldn't they say otherwise? They don't specify what their philosophical foundation is, so I think we have to assume this assertion is both intentional and strongly indicative.
I've been stigmatized more for having slanty eyes than being a virgin. I dunno, the whole virgin thing seems to be largely a joke.

Even Rimuru Tempest gets superpowers (Great Sage) because he died on Earth as a 37 year old virgin. Or if anime references don't work... 40 year old virgin movies or whatever.

It seems like one of the few thing you can poke fun at without people actually getting super serious about.

--------

As I said elsewhere: I know there's a growing group of incels who are taking this virgin stuff very seriously. Literal violent acts because they feel like they feel like the chads are taking all of the women or whatever.

But there's a larger group of people who are just innocently joking around with this meme.

It's about context. Maybe if the incels become more popular, I'll hush up about these virgin jokes. But it hasn't really crossed my threshold quite yet.
Eh, as in all things 'it depends'. Sundar could not have built Google to be what it became (and he ended up running), anymore than Tim Cook could have done that for Apple. Larry and Sergei could not run what Google became, but it would not have gotten there without their leadership (As many problems as there were).

It takes different kinds of leaders to be successful in different kinds of environments/challenges. Especially early on, you rarely win by making everyone happy or following the rules. You can rarely run a huge megacorporation if you aren't a master of keeping people on message and motivated across a huge swath of expertise and experience, and if you aren't following (or making) the rules in a wider sense you're going to get stomped by lawsuits and other legal issues once you reach a certain size. Before that, you often can't make much progress if you're not willing to do that (and can often get away with it).

The list of people who can be the best effective leaders in both environments is even smaller than the list of billionaire tech founder CEOs and giant megacorp unicorn FAANGs.

> I think the point is that at present the majority of cryptocurrency usage is in investment, trading, and hoarding- speculation as opposed to actually using it as a currency for everyday transactions.

Which is in practice really no different from meme stocks today.

Meme stocks which are only transactable via trusted third parties and are inherently trapped inside the walled gardens of various centralized brokerage firms.

Conversely, Bitcoin can be self-custodied with FOSS, and is trivially spendable via TTPs and L2 protocols. But yes, in practice people are using cryptocurrencies as speculative stores of value almost exclusively.

No where near. But if you factor the tax I was paying (I.e assuming I didn’t earth it). It will reach cost neutral in a year and be returning margin after that.

They are increasing this tax as well shortly... so it will get better.

Watching a happy and polite teenage daughter become horrifically depressed and nasty when on social media is a gut punch.

Several years of off of it for multiple months. Very happy.

On it for a couple of months. Depressed and nasty. Every single time. We were always the bad guys for restricting.

She’s moved out and married now. Now talks about how depressed she gets on it.
The point is that there exist products that are dangerous, yet still legal to sell given that they are sealed and labeled appropriately. The point was NOT that you're allowed to sell literally anything as long as you disclose the risks.

Your very words: "off-the-beaten-path" describes the difference between FB and ... them.

FB does seem to have a moderation system of sorts but it cannot possibly cope with the tsunami of incoming content. FB cannot be considered moderated in any meaningful way unless FB employs a significant proportion of the world's population.

So, I do not agree with you that FB effectively moderate their forum/network. I don't care about other forums/networks - that's whataboutery.

I assert that FB routinely allows: misogyny, misandry, racism and all other forms of hate speech to permeate their network without effective detection, identification and control of such.

One of the issues people have mentioned in this thread is that cards sold by miners are often burnt out or nearly burnt out. In that case, it seems like cutting off miners from the secondary market would be an improvement for the secondary market.

Aren’t wealthy just buying giant TH asic machines?

The gpus are good exactly because they are efficient but if you didn’t care about power consumption, ASICS are more profitable (in terms of cost of setup vs return from mining).

The primary reason I went with gpus, is because I can shut them off based on solar excess in 100w increments. So if I’m 200w in excess, turn 2 cards on. 300w - 3 cards etc.

I'm not the designer, but here goes...

"As little as you can get away with," includes a discoverable UI. We go to great lengths to make things discoverable. For starters, there's a chevron providing a visual affordance, reminding you the QuickBar and Honeycomb are expandable with a swipe.

But we go even further. The first few times you launch they app, the UI starts with the QuickBar expanded. After a few moments, it closes, which will likely draw the user's attention. Once you've used the app a few times, we don't show this helpful animation to remind you that the QuickBar is expandable.

The client also tracks if you haven't launched the app in a while, and brings back that helpful animation. (This is all tracked client-side in the name of privacy.)

> It's possible your goal is to make an intentionally difficult-to-use app, so that people are forced to learn the tricks and secrets, and then eventually feel "invested" in the app after they have done so, making it less likely for them to switch. Snapchat does this.

If that were my goal, I would be a moron.

Snapchat is successful in spite of its incomprehensible UI due to network effects and its value proposition. If you've watched SnapChat's UI evolve over the years, they've trended toward more discoverability. You can only go so far with the novelty of a mystery box.

We have no network effects. We don't lock away your data. We live and die by our UI. There are many other apps that have similar features as us, with many customers telling us they tried all the other apps before settling on us.

If you don't like the UI, that's perfectly fine. You're welcome to your opinion. It just doesn't line up with the opinion of our customers.

No, scalping is a loaded word for reselling.

This whole situation, and especially the anger at other market participants from people like you, is totally ridiculous. We know how markets work. NVidia is pricing their units at far below market value. What did you expect? Next you'll complain that water is wet and that the wind blows.

NVidia could solve this problem immediately by correctly pricing their units. If they want to, they can even have a conditional rebate--or make special individualized offers--to subsidize targeted buyers who they believe are "legitimate" gamers.

But instead they insist on continuing to mis-price their products. Shortages are the inevitable result.
Yeah I always find it interesting that statements like that ("scalpers hurt literally everyone") can just be made and treated as gospel by most people. Not only is the statement not self-evident, but to your point, just a small amount of thought on the issue makes it obvious what the value is.

People love to get mad at a scapegoat rather than a root cause. So you blame the scalper rather than realizing that the concert you bought the ticket for set their prices way too low - perhaps because selling at the "true" price (somewhere between the sticker value and the scalped value) - would generate negative goodwill, or it would give the perception that an event (say Coachella as the classic example) is only "for rich people". The irony is of course that selling at an artificially low price doesn't suddenly make it not for rich people, it just adds a small random chance that you'll be able to convert your own time sitting there refreshing the website across many browsers into a cheaper-than-it-should-be ticket. But functionally the vast majority of people end up buying from scalpers or at least at a slightly above sticker price.

There's a related discussion about so-called "price gouging". IMO it's the classic scalper argument but just in a different form. Price gouging laws are not just immoral but are actively ineffective at their stated purpose; they just lead to the hypothetical price-gouge transaction never occurring. If you drive across state lines to bring HAM radios or water filters or what-have-you during hurricane katrina, and try to sell at above market rate, you'll be tossed in jail and your goods will be seized by the police, rather than making it out to the people who actually need them and are willing to pay 2x or 3x the usual price.

TL;DR: We've all got these twisted beliefs about how pricing works or the law of supply and demand, an illusion supported by the fact that our respective societies are so technologically/economically advanced that we can have massive supermarkets where you buy commoditized items that you can get at reasonably similar prices anywhere. Whereas if you go back in history to a pre-industrial time, a form of pseudo-bartering was the default and there was not this idea of a commodity, but rather every transaction, every buyer:seller relationship etc was a unique and non-commoditized interaction and thus it wouldn't seem weird to have different prices for different people or different prices at different points in time, etc.
Yup, you can see this effect all the way to the 2010s, before which "Internet kid" was practically a subculture (or group of subcultures). Once everybody arrived on Facebook, the Internet became an almost-universal social phenomenon. This is cool in its own way, but it also means that "internet people" converges rapidly to "people".
> Can you tell me any traditional bank that can offer this good of a deal?

Well banks offer lower rates of interest, but they're FDIC insured, they have nice (ish) apps, they have regulations to protect consumers, etc.
