> privacy

From the original bitcoin white paper:

> The traditional banking model achieves a level of privacy by limiting access to information to the
parties involved and the trusted third party. The necessity to announce all transactions publicly
precludes this method, but privacy can still be maintained by breaking the flow of information in
another place: by keeping public keys anonymous.

Salvadorians can transfer their BTC to a tumbling service then to a an anonymous public key.

> independence from government

As soon as you transfer the BTC out of the wallet, you'll be independent from the government.

You are not required to use the government provided wallet if you don't need the $30 handout.

That is the old dogma. Today progressives insist on giving certain classes of people more opportunity than others.

If the data is not stored in the git repo itself there is no workable solution. Any offered standard is just a bandaid on the problem.

If a project is renamed or relocated from one name to another it might (and should) preserve issue and merge related information and discussion, but any full URLs will have changed, making full URLs fail in specific cases. Using any form of shortened sequential identifiers will fail when referenced in commits merged in from forks of the project that have their own conflicting identifiers.

To solve this in any real way there needs to be a way that when a project is forked it carries information about issues and merges with it, and when commits from that fork are merged back into the main project, or merges from a fork of a fork are merged all the way back to the original project, all metadata about those merges are carried to the original project.

Linus' argument is that the correct place to store that is in the merge commit's message. That it is the responsibility of the person doing the merge to provide that information, and that GitHub does a bad job of providing tools to do that.

The problem is, for consumers, these minor technical issues don't matter as much as the content on the platforms. Yes, Netflix works much more smoothly than HBO, but we don't choose Netflix over HBO because of the quality of the video streaming app, but for the shows we actually want to watch.
Good question. I said ‘Google is part of a Conglomerate’ - Alphabet. I also consider them a software co. But, some of you might disagree by bringing - Google ads and YouTube into discussion. This is where things get complicated. Microsoft also had MSN and serve ads in Skype and Windows. Does that make them a media co? I don’t think so. Similarly, FB also does not consider themselves a media company. They say they are a tech co.
Here's the formula:

1. Eat at caloric maintenance or a slight caloric surplus to build muscle

2. Do a consistent ab workout routine 3-5x per week (free on YouTube), progressively overloading your body with more resistance through longer workouts, heavier weights or more demanding positions

3. When you want 6-pack abs, cut your caloric intake to be at a slight deficit for a few weeks and try to shred as much excess body fat as possible to let your ab muscles show

Easier said than done though.

The comments on that Banana Pi board point that the SoC doesn't have any network specific features i.e. HW NAT, WiFi offloading and so it would be bad for a router.

That seems like a reasonable criticism and if so it could apply to RPi CM4 as well, AFAIK they don't have network specific accelerators. Are you planning to address this with some additional co-processors?

If you end-up adding network specific accelerators, Please do work with OpenWrt team as lack of HW accelerator support (WiFi offloading) unlike proprietary firmware is a major pain point.

True.

The lack of a definition for long Covid doesn't mean it's not happening. It just means we don't have good studies of it.
The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant.

It stands to reason then that if all speech is truly free eventually some speech will be censored. America doesn't allow people to say "Fuck" on public TV broadcasts, therefore all speech isn't free. No one is harmed by a curse word. Worst case a child will learn the word a few years earlier than when they usually do, and yet we censor that anyway.

Therefore, you can't say that all speech is free speech on all channels.

What you say in person may at worst get you into an altercation or ostracized, but you have the right to say it. Once your voice is amplified out of earshot you are no longer truly free to speak as you will.

You can say what you want to say, yes, but the repercussions of your words amplify with every repetition. Not everyone is aware of that, and when you are on a platform where, by words, you can incite a group to violence safely from the other side of the country, you should have your speech monitored and censored if need be.

Netflix figured out data-driven streaming better than anyone. That's its competitive advantage, full stop. It purchases content based on unparalleled data analysis, i.e. big-data tech. They often don't even order pilots (previously unheard of), they're so confident in their statistics.

A useful contrast is with HBO. Yes HBO has a streaming service and app... but its competitive advantage is in prestige content people will pay $$$ for. Somehow HBO's management team is incredibly good at nurturing content in an artistic critically-acclaimed way, rather than tech-data-driven way.

For Netflix, tech is the primary differentiator and the content is table stakes. While for HBO it's reversed. It all depends on how a given company is choosing to compete in the same market.

Reefer Madness was released in 1936, so closer to eight decades. The rule changes in the 60s were more about racial, for lack of better word, control than anything.

Without wanting to sound all pot-head hippy, this plant seems to be pretty magical. If it turns out that the "good" stuff can be used by removing the one part that gets you high, then we've lost so much potential because of fearmongering. It's infuriating that in the 20th century into the 21st we were no better than the days of Capernicus for stopping science because of fear.
I think it's an academic-specific derangement. They lose track of the difference between the symbol and the symbolized. So a wall-o-words is just as good as a gallery fulla paintings.
If true, the channel owner was trying to game the system to make their channel look like it was more popular than it really was.

An analogy would be like a TV host telling the audience to watch the show on five televisions so that they would get a higher Nielsen ratings and then get more money from advertisers. No TV network or advertiser would be happy about that.

In other words, if this is what was really happening, this channel was essentially trying to scam YouTube into thinking they were more popular than they really are for their own monetary gain.

To me it seems like this channel deserved what they got, if the allegations are true.

I even doubt that the channel was automatically removed by an algorithm. Maybe it was flagged by one for human review. Just because a company doesn’t contact you doesn’t mean a human wasn’t involved in your particular case. Furthermore, just because Sweetwater got away with it one time doesn’t mean it’s not against the TOS.

I’m just speculating, and I don’t have skin in the game.

> I don't see how else the government could control the cartels.

The use of “else” implies that this surrender constitutes the “government” controlling the cartels rather than vice versa. In fact, the cartels are the government, they’ve just outsourced the boring and less-profitable aspects of governing to the entity that calls itself the “government”, as long as it stays in line.

(Which, to be fair, hardly makes El Salvador unique.)

I really like the focus on strategy (or tools) rather than trying to label the company itself.

Across many industries, especially in the past several decades, companies have used (modern) technology to compete, and the successful ones grew and gained recognition for good application of technology.

Google, at the core, doesn't sell technology to consumers. They help people find and share information. (Yes, they sell consumer products that have evolved in the technology age, and we often call a phone or a modern speaker "technology.")

Apple is a consumer products company. Microsoft is (by revenue share) an enterprise solutions company. (This includes software, hosting, APIs, etc - all technology.)

As sibling comments have pointed out, from the beginning of their existence, automotive companies took the newest technology (initially motorized transport!) and used it to sell personal transport to consumers. Technology is in almost everything sold (except when it clearly isn't... food, most clothing, some services) or it's used behind the scenes.

Overall, what value do we get from trying to draw a line between technology company, and "not" a technology company? Netflix by itself doesn't really try to sell you technology, and yet they were instrumental in selling smart TVs and streaming boxes.

Do we want to know as prospective employees? Knowing if we are cost centers or profit centers?

Database built on blockchain? Queryable by SQL or nosql interface
Are there any completely decentralized, trustless databases built on blockchain? At a minimum this DB should be queryable through an SQL OR MongoDB type interface.

I'm assuming that there will be some performance and capability deficiencies at this point in blockchain tech maturity, but looking for something more useful than Arweave, IPFS etc... are on their own, particularly from a querying perspective.

Relying on one source for information is wrong, the hearsay article which reported what the doc in Oklahoma said without verifying the claims about ivermectin overdoses was wrong.

What is not wrong is this:

On the one hand, it's nice to know this number is low, on the other hand the numbers are likely under-reporting. Low toxicity doses and symptoms are likely unrecorded. Self medication with prescription drugs is a bad idea.
> Yes Netflix needed a good content library too, but that's never been its primary differentiator. NBC and HBO have been producing good content for many decades now. That's table stakes.

It's pretty much the only differentiator, and what people mean when they say "content is king." Very few companies can compete with Netflix on fidelity and technical performance. Yet Netflix is second fiddle to industry giants that contracted out their streaming platform development, because ultimately consumers care more about what they're watching than how they watch it.
Very cool demo!

Years ago I built a chrome extension tab manager that had some of the same features- fuzzy search, spatial grouping, tree history. I built it for my own use because I usually have too many tabs open and need some kind of principle of organizing the tabs I have open. I couldn’t get far enough on the browser extension for it to work well for me, so I just gave up on organizing my browser. Now I’m just scared to ever close all my tabs for fear of losing some train of thought.
This is a slippery slope fallacy. Just because you can see a flaw with a system does not mean there is a flaw.

Sometimes the flaw is with you & or your line of thought.

In this case, equating "not being allowed to post far-right propaganda on every concourse of communication" is not the same as being harassed at your own home because people are allowed to protest.

What I find interesting in addition to that is how much slack most software allows. I remember lurking on the alt groups when emus were being discussed for things like an amiga or pc. They were talking sub cycle accuracy would be totally necessary for anything to work at all. Yet most software seems pretty chill with 'sort of close' results. It is oddly counter intuitive. Intuitively they were right but ended up being wrong (mostly). Some bits though you need that accuracy. Mostly you dont.

I think a lot of software companies would do like what you did. Where they would check for some sort of thing that should be there, or not, or too much of something. But the emulator would or would not have it. I think in many cases it would be things like checking to see if 512k of memory was available, when the real box would have 128k. That was usually for things like copiers I think?

You assume representative democracy is the only way to make democratic decisions. With our current technology we could make such decisions using direct democracy. Imagine a collectively owned bank with a democratic decision-making process. You'd propose your idea for a Netflix competitor, and after a period of public debate the bank invests in the ideas that people decided are worth investing in.

Combine direct democracy and collective ownership with fully transparent decision processes everywhere (every decision made documented and freely available to view by anyone) and I have a hard time imagining any authoritarian system emerging.
