That's a good point. I never thought of it because I don't watch porn, which is probably unbelievable to the masses of addicts out there reading this right now. I had a Quest1 for a while (they hurt your face after a while from the pressure), and never tried porn. I enjoyed Beat Saber a lot though.
But I can say I probably would try porn on one at some point, and correct- I really don't want Facebook logging that.

The worst part about VR is that it's so intoxicating with its immersion that once you take it off you feel sad that this is where you really live, not a nice place. It gave me joy and took me away, but it also made me sad about my real life. It gives you a fantasy and more people should realize that multimillionaires and billionaires don't need virtual reality, they're living what you're putting on your face. I'm sure that includes the porn too.
This is odd to admit but I went a year without brushing / flossing my teeth, then went to the dentist and asked about my plaque build-up. Negligible. When I told them about this experiment they were disbelieving.

I attribute it to my strict diet at the time: Keto, no products with added sugar. Few fruits. Mostly vegetables, fats, and some meat. Certain foods would cause bad breath so I limited consumption of those at key times.
I think it was sarcasm... just missing the /s
Thank you for sharing these stories from the trenches. I wonder what practical things I can do when I am a parent that will prevent these harmful interactions.

It reminds me of the fact that I used to be crazy paranoid on weed in uni but I ate some a year or so ago and I just felt good. I was terrified of the consequences of being caught. Once the police disappeared as a threat, the actual thing was fine.
CMOV is slow because x86 processors will not speculate past a CMOV instruction. They do speculate past conditional jumps, so those are more performant.

This same property makes CMOV useful in Spectre mitigation, see https://llvm.org/docs/SpeculativeLoadHardening.html

Keeping CMOV slow is now an important security feature.
I’m making a point about the parent’s use of the analogy, not yours.
Stripe makes none of the hardware that is currently available (the BBPOS Chipper™ 2X BT or Verifone P400). Not sure which processing platform they are riding atop of these days (perhaps Tsys?) but we maintain a separate First Data account and CardConnect integration since Stripe's support for certain BINs of business cards is lacking. Said banks expect a breakdown of what was taxable to be sent along with the transaction, otherwise the transaction will be declined.

2.7% + $0.05 per transaction is expensive for in person payments. We are averaging 1.2% (since debit is so cheap) for our First Data account, with next day funding (Stripe has variable delivery, sometimes taking up to a week).

Only if the rise in interest rates is offset by the price drop. With interest rates so low, that's almost certainly not the case: home prices will crater. End of the day, home cost matters and blackrock isn't stupid. They are paying a 20% premium over today's insane market. Think about that. They either expect hyperinflation and/or low rates forever or they are being told to buy the homes.
A take from Japan - actually for cycling it's not bad. Even though the infrastructure doesn't have nice separate cycling paths, it's still 16% trips taken by bicycle out here vs 25% in the Netherlands [1]. Most neighborhoods aren't high-speed and streets are tiny, making low-speed cycling not so dangerous, and the proximity of neighborhoods means that kids bike places all the time.

A mirror doesn't swap left and right, it swaps front and back.

The realizations that people expect yaw rotation because that's what they are used to, or that normal day language isn't always precise (my left? your left?), seem extremely trivial to me and doesn't require any deep philosophical "insights".

In the hard sciences, you often don't even need the handwavey "swap a and b" explanation when it is much more useful to just model its behavior (ingress ray/plane intersection, normalize ingress ray, subtract twice normal vector of plane from ray to get egress ray direction).

I'm sure Feynman was a great physicist and teacher, but he's also great at just wowing people by using lots of words without saying much.

It would be an impressive case study but it would take a lot of evidence to prove. My impression was that Germany was an industrial powerhouse because of their fragmented states prior to unification, leading to needing a hard work ethic to get by. They also inherited the holy Roman empires administrative mindset, and had them less diluted than the rest of Europe since the eastern empire lasted centuries longer.

Being on the "story" side is IMO a large part of his podcast's appeal. You can get the bare facts of a battle or event on Wikipedia, and that's interesting in its own way. After listening to an episode on Carlin's podcast, I usually go look it up on Wikipedia, to get a different picture.

But talking about the people who were in that event, leaning heavily on eyewitness accounts and primary sources, all of that makes the events come alive. I think both are valid and important viewpoints on history. I think history in school would be a lot more interesting if it took a similar approach.

Looking at an historical event at more of a ground-level is nowhere near the same thing as giving outright incorrect information.

Since I am a heavy procrastinator myself I just wanted to drop this here http://www.structuredprocrastination.com/ It's also been made into a short book (same author), titled "The Art of Procrastination".

There is no "one book fix all" and the self help book market is full of superficial crap, but this book has helped me reshape my thinking some. To see my own personal struggle with procrastination in a far more relaxed manner, and with that, even life itself to some degree. It has helped me a lot. Maybe the essay does not speak to you. For me it describes me perfectly, and I thrive in chaos (you should see my desk), but by embracing and admitting it, it actually can make me productive.

I think it's unlikely for people to change much beyond the age of 20 (in fundamental ways, I would even suggest _much_ earlier). If you are a sensitive introvert you just never will be a brace extrovert. If you are messy, and a procrastinator, forcing yourself into being orderly and structured, that won't solve anything and you will constantly fail.

In the end work with your weaknesses, give them a positive spin, and start being more relaxed. You are who you are, and there is always room for improvement. Huge, fundamental change just won't happen. And there is no need for it. You are who you are, and that's alright.

Accept that, and then work with it. And being more relaxed, less stressful, less apologetic for who you are, more honest about it, that makes it possible in the first place to improve yourself in meaningful and lasting ways. It won't be fundamental, but little things go a long way. The rest is acceptance and humility.

A couple weeks ago, `david_chrisnall` on lobste.rs talked about pipe content negotiation [0]. Here is the relevant paragraph:

"""

Pipe content negotiation is a simple protocol modeled
on the OpenStep drag-and-drop protocol, implemented as
three ioctls. The sender issues a blocking ioctl to
advertise a set of things that it can produce, the
[receiver] issues a blocking ioctl to receive this
list and a second (non-blocking) one to select the
one that it wants to use. If the sender does a write
before content negotiation, the receiver’s ioctl
unblocks and returns an error, similarly if the
receiver does a read before completing content
negotiation the sender unblocks and returns an error.
This lets you establish a pipe between two processes
that can negotiate a content type but also fall back
to whatever your default was if neither end supported
it.

"""

> That would destroy the security of the iPhone and a lot of the privacy initiatives that we've built into the App Store, where we have privacy nutrition labels and App Tracking Transparency... these things would not exist anymore.

Trying to give “Tim Apple” the benefit of the doubt, I seriously cannot see how his comments jive with reality. If you give me the option to side load apps (and hell, make it as obscure as running an app on macOS from an “unidentified developer”) then:

- The App Store is still as safe as ever

- The vast majority of people won’t sideload as getting an app on the App Store is the lowest-friction method

- iOS’ “sandbox” model and OS-level security settings still (approximately) guarantee some level of safety w.r.t. tracking, unauthorized file/camera/mic access, etc.

- This would finally allow the iPad to enter true “pro” territory.

I’m not familiar with side loading on Android, so I don’t know how much that has affected its ecosystem and security.

But I can’t help but view this as double-speak for: “we at Apple enjoy our App Store profits and don’t want to see those reduced, user-be-damned.”
You don't change people's minds on the internet, no matter how misguided they might be. Just gotta let em figure it out for themselves mostly.
Exceptions for those that have a LOT of money...
Gravity Payments, First Data Merchant Services (the direct sales side of First Data), Vantiv/Mercury and numerous other platforms and platform resellers (Square & Stripe resell others processing platforms) have spent the last decade driving down prices.

Some wholesale contracts for certain ISO resellers are as low as 1 basis point (.01% of a transaction) and $0.01 for bank underwriting (where the bank holds the chargeback risk if the underwritten business goes bankrupt), with platform fees being as low as 3 basis points and $0.02 cents.

Stripe is probably doing the underwriting in house, hence why sometimes deposits of recent transactions to your bank account are delayed for a few days to a week.
Also cute: "1649 roles across all locations and all teams."
I think it’s configurable at the store. I’ve noticed a lot of transactions that ask for my pin usually say “please enter your pin or press here to skip,” save for 7-eleven (that’s like the only place where I actually have to enter it). PIN entry likely reduces liability, and I believe it’s significantly harder to chargeback for fraud.
> To use it you're clearly using early beta software. Clearly it isn't going to "turn itself on again".

Of course I’m talking about the beta version. But I can assure you that once I found out that it interferes with internal DNS, I turned it off (it’s on by default on the current betas) and a day later it was back on.

That’s what I meant with „it turns itself on again“

https://nnote.io/s/x4od5/react-18-with-vite-and-vercel

The new version of React - React 18 alpha has just come out. From ReactJS.org:

"There are no significant out-of-the-box breaking changes to component behavior. You can upgrade to React 18 with minimal or no changes to your application code, with a level of effort comparable to a typical major React release"

New Improvements:

- React.lazy - new streaming server renderer support.

- Automatic batching.

- New APIs (like startTransition).

This post will demonstrate a step-by-step guide to create your project using React 18 alpha, Typescript, Vite and deploy it to Vercel (freemium).
4-day workweeks would be nice but what I really want is 50 hour weeks (2hr extra per day) with a summer vacation in June/July/August.

Now to get back to that same territory:
50hr x (52w - 12w vacation) => 2000hr/yr

Personally I blame children's cartoons (and comic books, superhero movies, and so on). The core tension in those stories centers around a hero and a villain. The hero is always good and the villain is always bad.

If the world truly worked that way, it really would make sense to just throw all criminals in jail and leave them to rot in prison forever. If you commit a crime, thats proof you're one of the baddies, so if you ever get out of jail the assumption is you'd just commit more crimes. The Joker is never rehabilitated in prison. People justify this sort of thinking by pointing to psychopaths and mass murderers. But they're a tiny fraction of the felon population. Most people in jail are mostly normal people who have been poorly socialised. (Hence Norway's tiny recidivism rate. Norway's prison system is essentially a complex socialisation program.)

I don't think its a coincidence that cancel culture is also missing a notion of repentance. Why would that guy who masturbated in front of some women ever change? Better just burn the evildoers, to cure society of evil.

There is much better fiction for young minds. Anime is great at this - there are very few characters in anime who are simply evil. Most of the antagonists are also sympathetic characters, and usually the heroes of their own stories. Eg, Lady Eboshi in Princess Mononoke. Pixar does great work here too - Inside Out doesn't have an antagonist at all. And Les Miserables recursively makes this the motivation behind its policeman antagonist - "Once a thief / Always a thief. What you want you will always steal". And the moral climax of the movie - when our (criminal) hero has the (policeman) antagonist at his mercy. The policeman wants the criminal to kill him, because even though he would die, he would die vindicated in his beliefs. And instead our hero lets him go.
I have of course reported the issues using the feedback app, but judging by previous experiences with other apple betas, I wouldn’t hold my hopes up of any of this getting fixed.

The Emperor states himself in his surrender that his decision was influenced by the display of the atomic bombs, and ultimately it was the Emperor who put the final end to the Japanese war effort.

It’s probably foolish to say the Soviets didn’t play a part in the decisions of some of the men involved but I also strongly doubt there’s a compelling argument that it was more influential than what the Americans had just shown themselves capable of doing. The Soviets were a distant threat compared to the Americans continually bombing Japan for 3 months up to that point.

PIN entry (for PIN Debit, Healthcare Savings Account, EBT, WIC) is not supported on the Stripe Reader M2 as there is no PCI-DSS compliant PIN Pad.

PIN Pads have the underwriting bank's encryption keys injected into them at a secure facility, and these pads have anti-tamper features (think thin ribbon cables that tear when opened, contact sensors to detect case opening, heat and vibration sensors, all battery backed where if the battery dies the PIN Pad is toast).
> These corporations are the only ones to benefit from this.

To give you a specific example, if I wanted to install a gameboy emulator on my iPhone, I wouldn’t be able to through the App Store as emulators are generally disallowed, but if I could side load then I could install an open source one.

This would benefit me, and wouldn’t benefit any corporations.
