I doubt it. It happens in every tiling window manager I've used, and only ever with Firefox. Also I've seen the same issue mentioned once by a user of a normal desktop environment, who had to toggle fullscreen in Firefox to get it to update the UI after startup.

But it's just another visual bug users of tiling WMs have to deal with. Many programs handle this much worse, either crashing instantly because the WM doesn't let them have their favorite hardcoded window size, or becoming unusable from epilepsy-inducing glitches. Before I went down that path I'd have never guessed UIs(both on desktop and on websites) are so damn flimsy.
I don't leave a lot of reviews but I'm guessing most of the books I review are more likely to be in the 3 or 4 star range. I find relatively few books (or films) are necessarily so awesome I'll give them 5 stars. And anything in the 1 or 2 star range I probably won't finish and figure there're just not for me even if others seemed to have liked.

Sure, it doesn't have to be the IETF, that was just an example. But even they tend to do this well (by eg. spinning off a smaller more agile standards body to keep up with building extensions more rapidly).

Also, rapid development has its own set of problems as we've seen with XMPP (where no two clients support the same set of features because new ones are being developed to keep up with various proprietary things all the time).

Anyways, point is, don't reinvent the wheel, I'm sure one of the standard bodies could have been a good fit if we needed this at all, but Matrix definitely isn't a good fit for this Freenode replacement and this is one of the reasons why (the other is that Freenode works just fine and the point is that this is a drop in replacement).

"use email for notifications, but don't trust email content" is not a solution for most users. If you can't trust email, why even have it?

Bacterial life as we know it here on earth is too low fidelity for an honest-to-$deity, affectable-universe-spanning civ (just look at the temporal distance between a possible paspermia event in these terms in our solar system and replicating into the next couple of star systems).

An _actual_ replicating Von Neumann probe, that we can imagine working within the laws of physics today (even if we don't yet have the engineering capacity to build) can actually clone not just a couple of DNA strands, but can bootstrap an entire new sapient civilization, including technological progress, likely all the way down to the civ's culture.

FWIW, I was an annoying teenager and lilo didn't K-Line me when I went through that phase (flooding channels with nonsense and generally causing some trouble). He was patient and I grew out of it.

I never knew of the hate until I befriended a few of the atheme people and they told me some of their side. I do think he misappropriated funds to survive which is unethical but I'm not mad at the spirit of it. I used to troll the staff a bit that netsplits were caused by the /shakedown command lilo put in to collect donations.

Unrelated, but freenode is weird among IRC networks. Other networks I went on would sometimes just ban people because they felt like it, not for any particular reason. The server donors were not allowed to give themselves O-Lines (IRC staff privs), this was an important distinction as well as it kept servers neutral, and later on was the reason they did not require a foundation with overhead. There was an incident that I believe they deleted off their blog where I think the Newark, NJ server was punted from the network for giving themselves an O-line without permission. So yes, the sale is weird because the assets should have only been the domain name and website. My guess on PIA wanting more was recommendations from their lawyers over GDPR crap but I don't really know or care.

Garlic ranches of Fresno, you mean.

The Gilroy thing was largely invented to draw tourists — Fresno is where the bulk is grown, ex. Fresno County grew 25,060 acres of garlic in 2017. Santa Clara County grew 761 acres. About 90% of California's garlic crop is from Fresno.

Gilroy has the festival and a couple of processing plants.

> Do they not have a refrigerator? Once per week trips (maybe even less) were the norm for me growing up, and I had plenty of fresh fruits and veggies.

Yeah, I think we're agreeing - I'm saying that going to the grocery store once a week or less is probably going to result in purchasing a smaller percentage of fresh produce (certainly not none, but for meats in particular any less than once a week is starting to get sketchy in terms of keeping things fresh when refridgerated.)

CSAs for sure exist, but I see way more usage of them in urban areas. You're certainly not prevented from using them in rural areas (although delivery might not be available and pickup might be far less convienent than it would be in an urban environment).

This might be a function of where we're from, but in the countryside here hobby side farms by actual farmers are relatively rare and usually aren't producing enough to be considered much more than an in-season treat. I've never heard of milk delivery still being a thing (despite knowing a bunch of people living on farms), so I suspect you just have a different regional experience.

I have never understood the appeal of smart speakers. A smart speaker can't do anything that a smartphone can't already do, and I have that on my person at all times.

Spotify sent me a google home for free, and in a year I have only intentionally used it once or twice, and I think on one of those occasions my phone answered the wakeword first, so what even is the point? 99% of the times it waked were responding to me telling someone "okay cool", or my cat stepping on it. A few months ago it went in the old dead electronics pile, and a few weeks ago that pile went to a recycler, hopefully the metals in it can be turned into something actually useful.
Exactly. Video calls have become successful because remote work has become successful. The goal was not to make video calls. The goal was to further improve a team that was already remote. And I think you're right that the low/no cost hardware for most adopters has been key. Which I think is further proof that the demand is really pretty modest. I was just on a work meeting where half the people had their cameras off, and where I often didn't have the Zoom window on top because the video was very much secondary to what they were saying.

Apologies on missing this. I agree that "global web of trust" is a bit tough. And I agree that reliance on far reaching trust is essentially that. The idea, though, seems to still hinge on the same concepts, whether writ large or small.
Because the NFT is only as good as the blockchain it was minted on. The vast majority of (valuable) NFTs are minted on Ethereum. If someone mints the same NFT on Flow for example, it won't be as valuable because it's a copy (verifiably so) and it's secured by a centralized chain. NFTs are supposed to live on as if they were physical objects, so minting an NFT on a centralized chain has a significant risk of not existing in the future.
this makes zero sense, why? is this a massive troll on freenode?
> They are sucking up shared resources and making the things around them (e.g. electricity use, turning on of fossil fuel power plants, mucking up the GPU markets for productive or entertainment purposes) all around worse for everyone else not taking part.

that seems like an overly broad definition of "shared resources". With the exception for rentals with unmetered utilities, those are all billed by usage. Nobody says that driving a SUV is "sucking up shared resources (fuel)" simply because it uses more fuel to do the same thing as a sedan.
French speaking people pronounce it "libroffice". Lots of final "e" are silent in french.

As others in this thread have noted, what you described would be illegal. But suppose for the sake of argument that Robinhood's order flow is actually really bad and users are getting a measurably worse price through RH vs other brokers. RH targets small-time investors who are trading in small amounts - perhaps investing a bit of their paycheck every week. It seems unlikely that the order flow would be so bad that RH users are losing anywhere close to $5 per trade because of it.

So even if "it's not really free" it's still a significant discount compared to the pricing that was standard before RH came along. Opening up investing to more people by making smaller & more frequent trades feasible seems generally good to me.

I will admit that other aspects of Robinhood's business such as the degree of gamification are still concerning, though.

1.The term you're looking for is "naturally occurring Ponzi scheme" https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/19358

2. I literally don't know what this means. If it drops below 10, and you bought at 50k, you have an 80% loss. This might indeed induce "some nervousness".

3. Bitcoin is, per the title of the whitepaper,
"A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". You don't have to read very far into the whitepaper to understand that being a currency is 100% the stated objective. As you pointed out: it has failed miserably at that.

4. No... if this is a "Ponzi", then _on average_ there are more fools than smart people. Smart (or lucky) people are in fact a requirement of a successful Ponzi scheme... where else would the money go?

not OP, and not Arch, but Manjaro (so you can take it with a grain of salt), reporting from memory so details might be incorrect.

* after "BootHole" GRUB vulnerability, I've read that upgrade requires re-installation of the bootloader. And just in case, did run `sudo grub-install …`. After reboot, system didn't boot. Had to use installation USB to restore.

* More recently, during routine upgrade pamac (Manjaro's pacman alternative) GUI showed me some "transaction can't be completed" error message. Shuddered it away - few days later pamac wasn't starting at all. Starting it from terminal showed error message about some missing *.so file. Googling showed that this is a required file for pacman (Arch package manager) to function. Typing `pacman` in terminal showed "command not found" error message. Restored the missing *.so file from snapper snapshot (thanks btrfs!), after that pamac started fine and happily upgraded my system.

I'm not sure what happened in second case and why pamac left system in broken state (looks like it wanted to upgrade pacman by first removing old files and then putting new files in place, but aborted in the middle), but first one might be quite distro-independent.

Also, reading through recent Arch news, I believe this could bite someone:

> After upgrading to openssh-8.2p1, the existing SSH daemon will be unable to accept new connections. When upgrading remote hosts, please make sure to restart the SSH daemon right after running pacman -Syu. If you are upgrading to openssh-8.2p1-3 or higher, this restart will happen automatically.
If NFT money laundering is:

acquire Ethereum with dirty money -> buy NFT's -> sell NFTs for Ethereum -> sell Ethereum for USD -> deposit USD in bank account

I fail to understand how that is materially different from:

acquire Ethereum with dirty money -> sell Ethereum for USD -> deposit USD in bank account

Besides there being more steps with NFTs, I don't understand how it would attract less scrutiny.

In both cases, one must acquire Ethereum in the beginning with dirty money. This can be done on a foreign exchange, transfer in the Ethereum to a domestic exchange and sell it for USD.

In both cases, large deposits in bank accounts will be flagged by banks for review by the authorities. It's not a very good idea.

Arguably, USD stablecoin is a much more efficient method. Just buy them, and sell them off slowly and deposit the USD in ways to avoid scrutiny. This can't be done with Ethereum because of the volatility: you can't wait because your money might lose a ton of value.

My 2 cents. I am not a lawyer.

I see two possible situations in what you describe:

* Ownership of a land/property is tied directly to ownership of a cryptocurrency. In that case getting hacked means people can steal your house. Forgetting your password means losing your house/not being able to sell your house again. This is unacceptable and will never happen in reality.

* Ownership of a land/property is not tied to cryptocurrency, but vaguely relates to it. It still sits in a blockchain, but does not correspond exactly with property ownership as ownership might diverge from true ownership in case of theft. Real ownership is still managed centrally by the government, and all of the property law around this will still need to happen all the same. Nothing changes, except we now have a blockchain.

Am I missing something, or is there more to this?
I think that would be difficult to do trustlessly though, without a smart contract holding the NFT. How can I force you to send me the NFT if I exercise?

Going from minimum wage to 30k+ was a breath of fresh air. Going pass 100k was realizing you were living in a coal mine where everyone smoked and the 30k just meant you got to take clean air breaks every now and then. Of course then you have the attendant desperation in the US of "falling down" back to the level you were before and knowing the life style you live now can not possibly be sustained in those positions.

A simple mental exercise. When was the last time you had to ask permission to use the restroom at your place of employment?

One serious issue i've seen with alot of tech workers is that they have NO IDEA whats it's like to ever work minimum wage. They went from middle class existence to college to a tech job making more money than most people ever will. The minimum wage worker and even middle wage worker existence is invisible and nonsensical to them.

"you should reconsider, that's generally a good way to lose money" Some people make money off of doing this, you have no right to prevent people from day trading if that's what they want to do.
