> As an aside, I have a Mac Mini beside a MBP in my normal setup. My BT keyboard and mouse are connected to the mini. I wish I could do this as easily to jump between machines.

There are BT keyboards and mice that support multiple connected devices and let you switch between them. My keyboard and my mouse can support three each, and I use the functionality daily (on Mac, iOS, and Win10 devices).

For the combo I've got, at least, it's rock solid. My keyboard can also plug in, so at the inconvenience of needing to fumble around on the side of it to toggle the "BT or wired" switch, I could support four devices with it (I don't, but I could). All without any external hardware (KVMs, say) or extra software.

[EDIT] to give an idea of the ease, changing the input on my monitor is the most annoying part of switching devices (for the two that are connected to it) since I have to stretch forward to reach that button, and probably takes about 50% or more of the total time of switching. Mouse and keyboard each take maybe 2 seconds, total, including BT syncing to the other device. Since not all of that's hands-on time so you can be initiating a switch on the second one while the first is syncing, I bet I usually switch my inputs in about 3 seconds, total. Monitor's probably another 3-4 seconds on top of that.
Here's the same story without 2FA:

"You get an urgent message from your bank about an unexpected $500 transaction, you follow the link & you need to enter your password as usual of course. It was a phishing website. Your bank account will be emptied."

It did not reduce security.

And then Mazer Rackham reveals the truth about every Factorio game played since the official 1.0 release.
Housing is not a normal rational market like a market for shoes, every ecobonist knows that much.

Housing supply cannot, and never could fix the problem. There is no city or country in the world where this has ever succeeded.

The house prices are rising because of increasing financialisation of our economy, cheap credit and low interest rates.

700,000 people left London during pandemic, put prices keep rising.

If we offered 300 year long mortgages that get passed on to your next of kin, house prices would quadruple overnight. The price of a house has no relationship to it's utility, like it does for all other goods. You know you will always be able to sell it for more to the bext sucker.
I get where that question comes from, but I think it's the wrong question. The real question is, how would any realistic action that would cause US companies and people to spend more of their money in the US affect global trade in the aggregate?

While all participants in global trade are net beneficiaries, the US has done particularly well. Protectionism is usually a two-way affair; if we make it harder for us to spend money abroad, other countries will likely reciprocate. This doesn't somehow even out to make us (or them) better-off for doing it -- it simply contracts the global division of labor and introduces deadweight loss, decreasing the overall efficiency of the system and making all parties worse-off... except for a few well-connected companies that get artificially protected from competition and have enough connections to lobby successfully for price supports or other pork benefits.
Can confirm: have used Scrivener more or less exclusively for books since 2008, in which time I've written and sold about 15 novels. Scriv is a bit gnarly and bloated these days -- feature creep is a thing! -- but it still makes refactoring complex compound documents with multiple narrative threads vastly easier than any mere word processor.

(Best analogy for developers: if Microsoft Word is a text editor, then Scrivener is an IDE. Project oriented, multiple sub-documents, tracks metadata relating to subdocument state, allows tagging and searching, and it's an editor on top.)
For Sweden and Germany all (guess >99%) of the french speakers speak english way better then french. The amount of english we're exposed to is so massive and the french is basically non-existent.

This is such a useless egoistic move from the french, just accept that english is the lingua franca.
It's scary on face value.

But even scarier: this is what 'free speech' really looks like and that's an important right obviously.

Some people worry about the occasional 'ugly expression of hate' - which is a real concern, but in the grand scheme a problem that can be tackled, if there is authenticity.

But it's 1) the organic mass misinformation (things like QAnon) which influence incredible numbers of people and 2) the side-influence of things like we see in the article.

Media, just like Banking/Finance, much of Energy is a 'strategic industry'. It's always been protected. There is 0% chance that any nation would allow, for example, a Russian company with ties to Putin just go ahead and buy CNN and NBC.

Aside from that - there was/is cultures and standards within that industry that regulate information. All of them are susceptible to some 'national bias' and other biases run amok, that said, there is at least some degree of scrutiny and control.

On TikTok, you can make up whatever truth you want, millions will see it and that's that.

I'm seeing dozens of Pro/Anti Israeli/Palestinian TikToks and it's 99% rubbish, I just can't fathom what people's heads are being filled with, it's hard enough to get good information even from the 'regular news'.

If you make it so that public forums can be controlled by powers (political, external, commercial - whatever) - they will be.

So this is a legit new 'Giant Problem' we face.
Hi!
Is your time servers synchronized to GMT (mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich) or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)?

The RFC requires GMT, but most time servers synchronizes to UTC. It could be a difference of up to 0.9 seconds between GMT and UTC.

IMHO, especially housing on the southern strip would massively influence the character of the space.

If you ask people, what makes the space special, you will very often get the answer, that it is the space's openness and breadth.

This impression is especially created by the southern strip, as open space continues also beyond of it: first, the railway (Ringbahn), after that the city highway and after that relatively low-rise industrial buildings.

If you would build on the southern part, this view would be cut off much earlier.

IMHO, if one wants to build housing on the field while keeping its character, one needs to build on the south-west corner - kind of as a continuation of the terminal building - or in the north-east corner.

That's not my take. He's just saying that the linked document states

> If your CA will not be revoking the certificates within the time period required by the BRs, our expectations are that:

> The decision and rationale for delaying revocation will be disclosed to Mozilla in the form of a preliminary incident report immediately; preferably before the BR-mandated revocation deadline. The rationale must include an explanation for why the situation is exceptional. Responses similar to “we do not deem this non-compliant certificate to be a security risk” are not acceptable. When revocation is delayed at the request of specific Subscribers, the rationale must be provided on a per-Subscriber basis.

However, letsencrypt's report neglected to do any of this, so he queried them on this
You seem to have missed my original comment.

Any senior citizen who owns their home (mortgage all or mostly paid off) can take out whatever size mortgage necessary to pay property taxes. Since it's backed by the house's larger value itself.

Who's making them "flee their home"...? That would only happen if it's already mortgaged to the hilt, but then they're already on the verge of losing it anyways.

They’re also good about giving a “what’s new in Big Sur” notifications after upgrade and as part of the OOBE iirc. Can’t be restarted from what I can find, unfortunately.

Tips app is great for iOS.
As an American, this explanation matches well with the way I see it... which makes me suspicious. I am one of those the article would dub Smart Americans, and I'd be very careful of being flattered that way.

The main thing I'd note is that this is the kind of document I see over and over from other Smart Americans (I suspect the author counts himself in that category). The main thing I believe such documents have in common is trying their darnedest to get inside the heads of Real Americans and Free Americans, to understand what they really want so that we can find common ground with them.

I suspect that Real Americans and Free Americans would bitterly disagree with this article -- in its over-fondness for Smart and Just Americans, and completely missing their own real grievances. But I don't know if they'd be able to express those grievances in a way you or I would find clearer.

So, take this article as an accurate presentation of the way a lot of Americans see the divide, viewed historically. I've found that the people most likely to consider themselves misrepresented by this article are the ones least likely to write similar articles from their own point of view -- since the nature of the article is itself a byproduct of a point of view they don't share.
What's with the link to the weird Twitter rant about The Great Reset?
I'm in the UK and I have really noticed in the last few months that life is getting more expensive - eating out is 10-20% more, groceries are up 10-20%.

Now this is partly brexit, partly covid, partly we stopped doing anything for months - I can see people getting a bit of a shock when they realise that everything has gone up (the RPI in the UK is the average cost of a set of items in a basket and this confirms it, massive drop last year and now higher than the trend line shows it should have been: https://www.ons.gov.uk/businessindustryandtrade/retailindust...) - will be interesting to see if this drops down again next year
There are other, better-designed conlangs than Esperanto. Nobody speaks them, sure, but nobody speaks Esperanto either. And if we're going by popularity, might as well pick English anyway.
So… if I have fundrise investments and one of the investments is the house I sold them… then technically I still own part of my house?
What makes them similar is that the two machines need to be able to communicate with each other. The difference is that one turns the iPad into a display for the computer, while the other turns the computer into a keyboard & mouse for the iPad. I imagine VPNs will interfere with both.

Sidecar works great for me, too. I just have no occasion to use it where I’m not on VPN.
If you cherry pick data during COVID that's true. But it was the first year since 1900 with any decline and state forecasters say it's more to do with over 50,000 COVID related deaths and less migration from other countries (the largest source of population growth for CA for many years now) because other countries were locked down. As far as I know, no one expect that decline to be anything more than a very temporary thing.
No, nobody is buying your products. Nobody wants to hire you. Nobody is investing in a company that will hire you. If you have no income you must go into debt. It's that simple.
The market working would be supply matching the demand to keep prices relatively steady. But supply is artificially restricted leading to stupid price increases.
Strike is a custodial wallet. However, it is fully interoperable with self-custody bitcoin and lightning network wallets. I can send and receive payments with any other bitcoin wallet. Strike is the "rails" to/from traditional finance. It is possible to deposit USD and withdraw true bitcoin immediately. In my opinion, it is a good balance.

The biggest problem to me is that it is REALLY hard to understand the lightning network. I have tried most of the lightning wallet apps[1] and they are not very clear about where your keys are, how channels are managed, and what tradeoffs have been made. I am optimistic the infrastructure and technology will get there quickly. I think the lightning network will be kind of like email. Decentralized but most people use a few big players. I have been able to bounce back and forth tiny payments (less than a dollar worth) between most of these wallets in seconds. It's pretty amazing.

In the big city where they currently live. The rural village I'm in now has a 7% poverty rate, while the nearest big city has a 21% poverty rate. The big city would like to redistribute its poor to suburbs and rural areas and redevelop ("gentrify") the land the poor used to occupy. Poor people don't suddenly come into existence ex nihilo: they exist and live somewhere now. They just need to move into the countryside because the urban real estate is worth too much for them to live on it.
it's part of the larger argument: proof of stake systems give up explicit and transparent cost of decentralized permissionless currency for obscure and hidden costs of centralized and permissioned currency. and that cost is generally higher, because proof of work is the most efficient known (or possible) solution of such problem.
Fortune's Formula by William Poundstone is a fun read on the origin of the Kelly criterion, as well as the role of gangsters and bookies in the funding of the early communications infrastructure in the US.
Longer roads, longer sidewalks, longer water and sewer pipes. Longer electric and phone cabling. Of course it costs more.
That's a lot more complicated than a land value tax.

I know Californians are sickened by the idea that taxes could go up when the house you live in is worth more but this happens all over the world and it's honestly just fine.
I actually see monero as a kind of lurking beast in bitcoin's shadow, as if it's whispering "Oh, you think bitcoin with it's completely public ledger is bad and dangerous. Why yes, it's very, very bad. Please attack people who use it and show them why they need me."

It's an interesting game that law enforcement is caught in. On the one hand, they want to demonize bitcoin because it's outside of their control. On the other hand, if they attack bitcoin users too strongly, they push people to alternatives like monero that are both outside of their control and legitimately untraceable in system.

Which devil do you want to deal with?
The question is would a similar number jobs have been created had there been another ruling party. It’s like giving trump credit for investing in the vaccine, it’s a near guarantee given America’s economy that the vaccine would have been invested in even if Mickey Mouse had been president. In my mind, neither Biden nor Trump get any credit for the vaccines.

China saw massive famines due to the Great Leap Forward, ccp policy, killing millions. How do we know that had a different government been in power the jobs wouldn’t be created, perhaps faster like with Taiwan, and at the same time the famines avoided? So no, I’m not going to give the ccp credit for creating jobs that like as not would have anyway been created.
And this, in my humble opinion, is the reason why there has been a long term decreasing trend in interest rates for the last 40 years. And it will not reverse before the trend of wealth distribution getting more and more inequal reverses. So get used to the idea of increasing pressure to get functional negative interest rates.
UC let's you use the iPad as an iPad and not as a screen. Think of it more as a KVM for your Mac and iPad.

This is great if you want to use the iPad app version of something rather that just needing an extra screen (Sidecar).
See, I used to think that maybe with the different compensation structure, Redfin agents' interested might end up being more in line with the buyers. I ended up working with one, and realized that is absolutely not the case.

First, yes, Redfin agents don't get commissions the way traditional real estates agents get commissions. However, Redfin agents do still want to close as many deals as possible. Also, while real estate agents have a tough job finding good leads (especially given that leads don't exactly keep buying property) Redfin agents do not have a tough time finding leads (they have one phenomenal website that just gives them constant leads). What it results in is that a good traditional agent will put in a lot more work to find an appropriate place for you, because not only do they rely on you buying through them, but more importantly, they rely on you being happy enough that you recommend them to other people.

Redfin does not need your recommendations, as they've got a line out the door. So if anything starts getting difficult with your purchase, Redfin has no incentive to stick around and figure it out.

I've bought three properties and made an offer that fell through on one, and looked around other times. I've tried both traditional agents and a Redfin agent, and will never again work with Redfin.
I'm not a monero folk and think it has no real world application outside of criminal dealings.

Monero is being used as a currency though which is relevant because bitcoin used to be used as a currency too before the first bubble/speculators got a hold of it. It's critical to any conversation with claims about bitcoin being a great currency (it's not)
OP here, just wanted to share some tips on how I was able to rank my project Recordjoy(www.recordjoy.com) #1 on Google for the search term "recordjoy".

Ironically posting on hackernews was the thing that pushed it over the edge to the #1 spot!
I've had my Fastmail account for over 20 years. It's an employee-owned company with first class ethics and a first class service. An absolute beacon of integrity. It's too bad these qualities aren't more in demand. Make sure you use a Yubikey. An honourable service provider isn't enough.
"Inclusive" still has a meaning in this interpretation. It means that the certificate is valid on the moment of the end date, as opposed to ceasing to be valid on that moment. That is what they mean by "both ends of the interval are closed".
Would love to hear about the variations!
Used an abbreviated version to of the kelly criterion along with Markowitz portfolio optimization and applied it to sports betting. All I can say is that past results do not indicate future returns
I encourage you, as an exercise at least, to think about what you'll do when it doesn't work.

You're sure this is the right web site. But Bitwarden won't fill out the code. What could be wrong? Did the idiots who make this web site change the URL?

Now, maybe you're a far above average user and you would calmly determine the exact cause, assuming at every step that the most likely explanation is you're being phished. Hopefully that's more likely now that you've done this exercise. I would love to believe I'm in this category.

But most users will just be frustrated, why wasn't it filled out? Is there a way to get the code from Bitwarden anyway? There is, it's a bit fiddly but you can do it. Lots of users are going to do that. They might even help each other to give their credentials to bad guys, community spirit.

Hopefully some of those users pause because this is unusual and a few of them will realise in that moment that they're being phished. But experiments suggest most won't.

Not me — I adore the BBC. I've always paid my licence fee gladly, and I've been waxing lyrical about the latest BBC drama on Twitter just this very hour. On this issue, I believe they've made a mistake.

I can't imagine ever choosing a place to live based on what my neighbor's political ideology is. It's a sad reflection on the state of this country that CA is the conservative prime evil and the south is full of dumb rednecks to liberals.

It's amazing what actually going to places reveals - that there are actual human beings that live in these places, and perhaps aren't as unreasonable as twitter makes you think.
The Fibonacci sequence is not special because it is just one element of the family of linear recurrences. Is there a larger family to which the Kelly criterion belongs? (Not being snide — I’m genuinely asking)
I played this ~23 years ago. I'm amazed to see it!
Yes! This was a very good solution. Built right into the browser, very convenient. We built a related CA product back in the 90s and were issuing client certs on smarts cards via the browser. Plug in smartcard and browser could automatically authenticate to all services. Take it out and go home.
Yes, because context matters. If you want me to respond to agile, this is why you don’t have management at standup. To prevent micromanagement. My whole point is that there’s nothing inherently wrong (or right) with agile. It’s a process. The success of it depends partly on the people involved. One principle of agile is the right people on the right team.
Finally, a company excited by competition!
The main impact is still Bitcoin price. Anything that makes Bitcoin's price go up makes the mining energy usage go up too. The fees are just a bonus.

But anyway:

1. A transaction creating a channel factory for 6.4 million different keyholders would be too large to fit in a block.

2. 6.4 million users on LN would be a great target for flood and loot[0].

Move Beyond Passwords (WWDC2021)
The central banks think they can make the money move if they buy everything reputable and force everyone else to consider buying less reputable things. This is somewhat happening but not in great enough numbers, one of the desired examples being SPACs buying startups where VC's and the whole population continue underservicing, the less desired examples being "meme" stocks but it is good when those companies recapitalize with direct issuances, unexpected examples being intangibles and obscure cryptos and I'm not offering an opinion about that, I do know it is not the point of the central banks monetary policy. They want people to be forced to invest in founders without pedigrees. Simple. As we can see, people would rather pay the government to not risk their own money like that, inflation concerns be damned.

The hoarded money will really move if the central banks A) stopped buying and B) sold everything

Yes it requires iCloud.
Fewer people worked on these early products, and they were involved basically end-to-end, so the people involved collected a fair bit of interesting stories. iPhone development probably has tons of interesting stories associated with them, but those stories are spread out across so many people that you're unlikely to find a single person like Andy who knows many of them first hand.
