I prefer Ubuntu server for headless Raspberry Pi usage versus Raspberry Pi OS used in this guide. Mostly because Ubuntu server for the Raspberry Pi uses cloud-init for the initial configuration which makes reproducible builds much easier.
Thanks for the heads up about that.
My take is it reduces friction. It gets you signed in and authenticated once, at start up. From then on, you never have to see a signup box or login box or TFA token again for services in the ecosystem. At the moment this would be the MS Store, Gamepass, and via Gamepass Electronic Arts. I imagine it will end up in the Edge browser as well... when a header identifies a Windows browser, automatically start the OpenID authentication dance with the Microsoft servers without even giving you the option to 'login with Google/Facebook/3rdPlace'.
I'd educate the people who will get the money. They get access to the safe deposits, and issue the transactions. With a multisig, there's no single point of failure, and with hardware wallets there's little risk of getting hacked.
Not sure I agree. A lot of my successes have been not only because of hard work but because I made good choices. Life is mostly about making your own luck.

I think this is a little defeatist. You definitely won't get lucky if you aren't in the room-- hard work involves putting in the time in the room for that chance.
I might forget to click a link periodically, especially if I get busy, or take a vacation. But it's highly unlikely that I will be absent from an entire set of services like the above.

If I would forget to click a link, it's either because I'm super busy with work, in which there will be multiple Github commits per day, OR it's because I'm enjoying a vacation, in which my social media might be more active.

I have been away from technology but not for more than 2 weeks at a time. I suppose just s/week/month/ or whatever.

If youtube knowingly helps to spread disinformation, specially while making money with it, they should be held accountable for the harm they do to society. For the content they themselves choose to restrict... this seems more complicated.
Unfortunately some solutions aimed (on the surface) of protecting workers make inflation worse. Tariffs to protect workers increase inflation. So does occupational licensing. And means based entitlements.
I did this. Bought a LiftMaster 883LM button for mine, and soldered an extra wire to the actual pushbutton contact inside. This was cheap so I wasn't really worried about breaking it, plus it is much simpler (easier to solder) than the "big" button that has an LCD and motion sensor. Bonus is I have an extra button to control the door mounted at the front now.

I did this about 8 years ago, and hooked it to an Insteon network, which is ultimately connected to my HomeAssistant setup. If I was doing it today I'd probably do the same soldering but wire it to something I could run tasmota on (and control via mqtt).
With bitcoin you really can take it with you.
I agree. I worked hard as a waiter, hard as an Uber driver, hard as a construction worker. Then I got incredibly lucky (repeatedly) and now I make pretty decent money doing a job in which I decidedly do not work hard at all.

I spent a lot of time reading (easy), some time developing social skills (somewhat difficult but not work), then got an opportunity (the exact opposite of hard) and it worked out.

I agree that there’s no substitute for hard work. It’s its own thing. I disagree that it has some sort of inherent moral value or virtue, as far as I can tell that’s a line invented by management to make you feel better about not receiving a tiny fraction of the money you generate for your company.

On the other hand if you're executing and motivating a Holocaust, this is one of your tactics.

I think one of the things we've been learning real hard as a globally interconnected species is, if people can do nefarious shit through insisting their intentions be taken in good faith, over a large enough sampling size they WILL do nefarious shit because it is in their interest to do so.

It's like criminal justice. If you look at a large enough population you begin to run into people where you can't take their word on things. And mandating that such people must have the ability to make their case is not the same thing as taking their side. Sometimes what they have to say did not take great effort to come up with. Sometimes they say what they say because they're what they appear to be, and it's a thing that is criminal or otherwise unacceptable.
This seems like a restatement of the argument that if we just code enough 'if..then..else' statements, we'd get a well-behaved general AI.

That approach hasn't worked, and complicating rules and procedures to cover all edge cases will fall short too. That's why judges are still humans. The list of edge cases, the number of factors that can go into a decision, is correlated to the number of things possible in reality. It's basically unbounded.

If I've misunderstood and you are arguing instead for a clear and minimal set of rules to flag and trigger a human review, that sounds sensible to me. In my experience though when companies find an exception they update the policy, and before you know it it becomes a tangled mess.
But that just means withdrawal of service under false pretences.
Yeah, but in how many of those currencies are people actually using base units for transactions? I'd wager they're all trading notes denominated with thousands or millions of units for a loaf of bread, like the Zimbabwe trillion dollar note, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7832601.stm

Very sorry that your channel fell victim to this senseless take down by YouTube. The problem is them and it is always them and they will never change.

Perhaps you are aware of some alternatives that you can use instead? Odysee and streamable are some. At this point, I don't see YouTube becoming an option if they are able to do it again and never come back with an explanation.
I get that, but there is something very wrong with business culture if that is the only outcome guaranteed. There are lots of examples of successful companies whose business model is not based around the unrestrained pursuit of pure profit at the expense of customers... look at Nintendo, for example, or Disney.

This reminds me of the failure at Tchernobyl.

One thing I admire about Russia is a happy-go-lucky, almost amateur attitude (combined with the more widely discussed melancholy). It seems like a more whimsical version of the UK “muddle through”. Compare that to the extreme professionalism seen in Apollo 13. It’s not really clear which is better, in general.

But this story is a good example of where it can be disastrous.

Fiat money does give you free money. We happen to live in exceptional times where interest rates are close to zero, but in general, simply owning fiat gives you free new fiat. The same is not true for Bitcoin in itself.

Nobody wants to help the environment. The typical US lifestyle would require 8 planets if it was rolled out across the world's population. Just leaving your phone plugged in uses more energy than all of crypto mining combined.

So don't preach about caring, nobody cares. They say they do, but don't. So yes, miners seek out cheap renewables, which is motivated by profit, not helping the environment. As said, none of us are better. We don't care. But if a profit-based incentive leads to renewable energy usage and helping the environment as a side-effect, I'm all for it.
What I get from this whole discussion is that I would love a recipe book with measures in weights, temperatures specified such that you can use an IR thermometer, and a set of questions at the end of the recipe for assessing how I think the flavour could be improved.
There is a substitute - working smart.

> To be really good at anything means doing it a lot

True, but working smart is figuring out another way to do it that doesn't require skill.

For example, I could spend years and years studying chess to become a skilled chess player. Or I could spend a month or two writing a chess playing program that'll do even better.

Or I could train and train and get my 10 km jogging time down. Or I could get smart and get a bicycle.

In fairness, I see that on a lot of sites now and I almost want to say that's something browsers should be fixing.

It should be instant. But on most sites it hasn't been for a while.

> When they use "algorithms", they are equivalent to publishing. Similar to how newspapers can't just publish everything.

No, that's the point. Facebook, even if it moderates content, and no matter how it moderates content, still isn't liable for failing to moderate some content.

The misunderstanding is so completely fundamental: Section 230 doesn't actually make any distinction between "platforms" and "publishers" that entire distinction was made up by conservative pundits.

The relevant section of 230 is, in full "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider" (there's more, but it has to do specifically with child porn). You can't "lose" section 230 protection by doing or failing to do certain things or acting in a certain way. The law just doesn't include anything about that.

> When they use "algorithms", they are equivalent to publishing.

No, moderation is not equivalent to publishing, and the legislative history of section 230 makes this incredibly clear. Prior to 230, a website operator had two options: they could attempt to moderate content, but in doing so invite liability, or they could do no moderation at all and have no liability. Section 230 provided "good samaritan" protections to allow site operators to moderate user-generated content without inviting additional liability (the wikipedia section has a good rundown of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230#Background_and_pas...).

So yeah, there's no such thing as a platform, everyone is a publisher, and all publishers have section 230 protection which allows them to moderate user generated content without inviting liability. You've been lied to about the law. It is intended to allow website operators to engage in certain forms of "editorial decisions". That's the point. That's why congress passed it.

You're not wrong. The original article is.

The cited paper makes an apples-to-oranges comparison. The 2017 figure (~400k) is an estimate of excess deaths in the US compared to age-specific death rates of an average of five European countries. The 2020 number is the CDC estimate of coronavirus deaths (~375k). In any case, this is considerably smaller than the overall excess mortality (from the US baseline, not a comparison to Europe), which is estimated at 522k (and doesn't count the first two months of the year)[1].

In this comment, I only point out verifiable facts. People can come to their own conclusion about the extent to which the original article makes good faith or bad faith arguments based on citations to the literature.

From the accounts of what RWW is, I think I can see how this happened. Are they functionally any different from an aggregator? If YouTube's content guidelines are taking on the self-imposed duty of restricting their amplification of calls to right-wing violence, genocide, etc, to what extent does RWW communicate that it is critical of the views of the extremists it apparently seeks to amplify?

It only seems like a good idea until somebody abuses it to do despicable things. You don’t even need to go that far imagining such things when the story about Near/kiwifarms happened just yesterday. If shit like that happened with something I made, I’d just fucking take down the site and never make open platforms again.
I'm not currently looking for work but whenever recruiters contact me (which is a lot since the pandemic for some reason) I always make a point of saying that I will only consider remote work just to get that idea out into the universe.

Technically true, but the big difference is that if someone hard forks bitcoin to start printing more, holders will see their coins fork with the chains. You'll have both the old, hard money and the new diluted money, and the market will decide which one is more valuable. This doesn't happen with fiat.

Which one would you choose?

> There was Jesus teachings right?

Jesus didn't teach anything directly against slavery, which is why Christianity took a long time to generally oppose slavery. Now, you can argue that's because Jesus generally wasn’t a political reformer and directed commentary to how to live in the world with its defects, leaving how to fix the defects implicit. And that may be true and a valid response to claims that Jesus was pro-slavery, but doesn't rescue your pointing to him as an anti-slavery advocate.

At Greenshades, working remote has been an option now for several years. It started with a few folks who just had good reasons to stay home (I was one of them). Then we started recruiting nation-wide, which is nice for the company but you can imagine how the locals had a sense of community that the true remotes felt they were missing.

Fast forward to 2020--nearly everyone has moved to 100% remote. It's hard to tell who is local vs not anymore. There are _some_ local events, but they usually coincide with flying folks in. I'd say it's much more inclusive as it puts us all on a more level playing field.

That's not a solution, that's another layer of abstraction to try to solve the problems of blockchain/decentralization for money with a new layer of issues.

Eg. The hashed list of emails. It's going to be a hard reality check if some of your "friends" don't have access to their emails anymore or just aren't friends anymore after x years. The amount he suggests is 7, which is insanely much. Even people have issues with their parents with money alone.

It's a nice fantasy though, but not workable in reality.
