Not sure I would consider this a date. Still it's superior to a phone call and more personal than a long texting session. With people who live say in a different city travelling to meet for say a walk is a time investement.
The difference is that you can pay someone with JPY and that's the whole transaction. When you pay someone in BTC, you also have to pay the power company with something. The system is an inherently leaky bucket.
It's way more expensive to store and transport gold than bitcoin, although it depends on the amount. You also have to price in the protection provided by local authorities that protect your property, in addition to your own security measures.
I don't like using tabs in Makefile syntax. Tabs are in many cases (especially on print) indistinguishable from spaces.

Also, any "make" program for C should automatically detect dependencies between files because this information is present in the code and it doesn't make sense to duplicate it.
You can do this with a combination of ntfy and MacroDroid [1] or Tasker. With those apps, you can do things like "if I shake my phone, publish this message to this HTTP endpoint". And then you can subscribe to a ntfy topic via the ntfy CLI and execute a command.

Here's how you do it:

1. Install MacroDroid [1] on your phone

2. Set up an action in MacroDroid to publish a message to a ntfy topic via a HTTP GET (see [2])

3. On your computer, install the ntfy CLI and set up the ntfy-client systemd service (or use `ntfy subscribe mytopic 'echo $m'` or something similar); see instructions here: [3]

Here are some screenshots/videos of how to integrate MacroDroid and Tasker with ntfy [4]. Please note that the MacroDroid notes are a little out of date, since you can now use HTTP GET to publish messages, so you don't need to use the "Send intent" thing anymore, which means you don't need the ntfy app on your phone.

If you need more help, you can find me on Discord [4] and I'll help out.

I think that would be a very amusing outcome. the rate of accidents can't be held at 0 so the supply of Bitcoin can only decrease in the long term.

However, is there any reason the network couldn't decide to, say, subdivide Satoshis even further to allow the remaining supply to become more tradeable? If the changes are slow enough over time it doesn't seem like there's a limit to how far that could go.

"They have been found across a northwestern swath of the former Roman Empire from Hungary to northern England, but not in other Roman territories such as Italy, Spain, North Africa, or the Middle East."

as these are lifestock producing cold regions (and back then were more colder and swampy than today) where probably knitted wool was used instead of the textile that was used in the warmer regions where agriculture produced source fiber for the textile.

Actually, one difference is that contributions by, for instance Amazon in my experience, have been lower-quality than the typical amateur on-the-ground mapping. However, their contributors have been gracious and apparently willing to learn when you point out you've surveyed the area and they've put a service road -- it's usually service roads! -- through a wall next to the house numbers you added, for example.

But, yes, it seems rather like saying that Intel or IBM contributors aren't in the GNU community, and that would have been absurd to argue about Cygnus. The worry might be organizational take-over by commercial interests (Linux Foundation?), but that's different.

they did mention they appear to be of widely varying sizes... I imagine if the holes were meant for specific coins they'd all have matching sizes...

I like the idea that the ratio between the incoming and outgoing holes allow you to get correct angles while looking through regardless of how the object is held (look through one of the smaller holes hold it far enough that the larger hole matches, and you have an exact angle viewer)

I can't help but connect this to the internet fulfilling it's promise of helping people to find communities of others like them. In the past, I imagine a lot of these parents would have had trouble filling up their life with enablers validating their toxic perspective. They'd have to deal with people around them not taking their side by either facing criticism or shutting up about it. Either way, they'd have space to maybe rethink things.

This kind of thing is readily apparent with people getting together online to talk about politics. But what about other conditions? Are bad bosses more likely to find validation among other bad bosses? Is any of my sociological bullshitting here true?

I keep seeing 'Tree of Life' designs at the local farmer's market, but every variation has even fewer roots than the classical celtic knot version, which is at least balanced top and bottom.

As these diagrams illustrate, a typical tree has roots reaching out at least 3x the radius of the 'root line' myth common among landscapers and construction workers. The truth seems to be more that any damage within that circle affects a pie slice of roots that are doing the real work. Cut a hole that's 18° wide and you can kill up to 5% of the roots.

Economic policy has had a huge role in that. If you are wealthy, you can borrow money for free, you can pay no taxes, and you can invest your free money at 10%+...oh, and the govt will bail you out if it goes wrong.

I worked in equity research at a financial adviser, I am not anti-markets at all (although am probably towards the left of things, for economics more than anything...substantial inequality is not sustainable economically) but the reason why the US doesn't have downward mobility is because rich people do not need skills. You need money to get rich, not skills.

If you look at other countries with similar economic models, for example the UK, you see much higher downward mobility. Again, the simple reason for that is less buoyant financial markets (and btw, UK property has gone through the roof and wealthier individuals in the UK own proportionally more property...the US is really, really out there). The only place that is really comparable are explicitly corporatist states like Germany and China...and the former has (tbf, fairly weak) mechanisms to guarantee a certain living standard.

I don't really understand the US system at all. The welfare state is Bezos and Musk's space projects. And people wonder why their fellow citizens are struggling? You are rich, but you live in a society where many other people are suffering...that isn't wealth.

>I think we could all agree that in an ideal world if someone is at fault

But that's the thing. The other driver was only declared "at fault" by the police report, which might hold some weight, but isn't the final say.

what would that entail?
While I understand the enthusiasm to embrace this due to how good Oculus is, I'm kind of stunned how ready every one is to believe a single sentence from one of the most distrusted people on the planet. Don't forget that the whole reason this is a problem is Facebook broke a commitment made at the time of Oculus acquisition that there would not be a requirement for a Facebook account in the first place. So why are we trusting this now?

Until it actually happens, and until we know exactly what the caveats are (maybe it will be just as bad or even worse than having a Facebook account) - there's very little reason to take any action based on this information.

The key things that need to go are the real name requirement and the arbitrary account banning (often for reasons out of users control and with no recourse) causing loss of past Oculus purchases.
We need to go even further for apps installed in mobile devices: We need to make it impossible for apps to determine that they've been denied a capability. Many useful apps refuse to run at all unless you give them access to personal information (e.g. your location) when there's no need for them to have such information to function. The solution is for the OS to spoof that capability by providing hostile apps with random data, or to otherwise fail to provide accurate data to the apps.

Of course a more ideal solution is for app stores to refuse to allow apps that list capabilities they cannot justify a need for, but at least in the Android world this doesn't seem to be happening.

This is why I never liked that 1Password started moving to cloud based, subscription model.

I hate that they try so hard to hide the standalone version for which you just paid a fixed price. That's the only way that I still use 1Password.

Yes, there's not much redundancy or convenience without the cloud, especially if your computer's hard drive becomes damaged, but if I lose my master password at least it's on me.
I immediately thought of Plato and western esotericism. These look magical. Plato's atomic theory in Timaeus was that atoms should be the simplest geometric forms possible. These are what we now call the Platonic forms: the tetrahedron, the cube, the isocahedron, the octohedron and the dodecahedron. Plato associated each with an element, based on the intrinsic material properties of the geometric shape. For instance, earth was cubic because cubes stack well and fire was tetrahedric because the sharpness of the pyramid-shape was destructive like fire.

Dodecahedra were the 5th element, the quintessence, which was the aether beyond air. Totally magical. These things would have impressed people and communicated philosophical prowess.

Actuarial major here (early 2000s). These exams are indeed quite hard - and if not hard (by someone's personal definition), just cover such a grotesque amount of material for a single exam that by the time you get to the last 20% of the syllabus, the first 80% feels like another lifetime ago.

I have passed three of the SOA (society of actuary) exams, and wrote a fourth and bombed it in ~2005 and never wrote again - returned for a compsci degree instead. Each exam took 300-400 hours of study time. I have nothing but the utmost respect for anyone who is a designated actuary.

Don’t let that sample question in the article fool you; most the exam questions all involve extensive use of integrals, differential equations, and other voodoo I’ve long forgotten to solve problems. Some questions can take upwards of solid page of equations to solve - some are outright dirty tricks with every possible exam answer carefully chosen to be the result of making a mis-calculation somewhere. Even relatively simple discrete mathematical questions can really throw you off in the heat of an exam. Also some questions are put into the exams that aren’t even graded and are “test pilot” questions for future exams, which you can piss away a bunch of time on for no reason at all. Naturally, you're also using relatively basic TI calculators in the exam which help you little in battle.
It still seems that the most likely answer might be that lastpass are incorrectly alerting that someone's correct passphrase had been used, and that the email is being triggered by a bug, or something like a login attempt using the wrong password from a suspicious IP.

The fact that lastpass support says that it means that the correct password was used doesn't mean it's true, the support staff might just be mistaken.
No, but it’s an interesting scenario to think through because I don’t think the insurance status of the other party seems to figure into my planning.

Our cars are fully paid for, and I’m operating under the assumption that it’s possible and for them to lose their whole value and I’d have to get a new car.

Covering remaining damage to myself seems to turn into a health insurance event (I.e. how to cover medical costs) akin to suffering from cancer or another high cost illness.

For both of those it’s expected that I’ll have to tap the piggy bank…

Beyond that, the most dangerous scenario to guard against (if I don’t die) would be something that impairs my ability to continue to be employed, so I do pay for AD&E insurance… I’d hope they would come through, but I’m sure they find their ways to avoid payouts.

Perhaps this matters if I felt like they’d harmed me enough to warrant trying to take them to court. In those cases though, it seems like I’d be handling higher order issues like actually trying to stay alive or recovering enough to get back to work.
My TC went up 5x in the last 5 years. I accomplished this by job hoping twice, more than doubling with every move. That could not happen if I stuck around the old job, even after multiple promotions. My only regret is I should have job-hopped earlier, I missed out on 5-digits of income.

There is no one true way, yes, but one gives the employee more control over their destiny.
> Skyscrapers not just generalized building, which are quite rare in the mid-west.

If you ignore cities like: Chicago, Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Minneapolis, etc.

So no not really quite rare by any measure. And if you want to take a look at economic output as well, Illinois (5) and Ohio(7) are heavy-hitters, with states like Michigan(14) and Indiana(17) rounding out the top 20 and Minnesota(19), Missouri(22), and Wisconsin(21) not far behind.

As an aside (not targeted toward you) we gotta stop the “Midwest” as a geographic representation. It makes no sense. Make it Great Plains and Great Lakes after the major geographic features of the regions and what uniquely define them.

> 1: Here's an example with details changed...

How is this not supposed to be an example of a contradiction? You pre-empted your "they distort reality" comment with the presumption that there are contradictions, then go on to give an example that doesn't contain any.

It just contains lazy details, which justly lead to incorrect inferences. Whether this is indicative of intentional manipulative behavior or distorted views of reality is hard to say without more context.

Because the "other party is 100% at fault" is actually determined by courts, rather than the cops, hence the need for lawsuit.

> Bitcoin has intrinsic value outside of the fiat system.

Not really, because even though the number of Bitcoins is limited, the number of cryptocurrencies is not. In any application that uses Bitcoin, you can substitute Litecoin, Dogecoin, or most other altcoins/shitcoins in existence, and there would be zero difference.

In fact, Bitcoin's only advantage over those coins is extrinsic--it has more longevity, better brand recognition, and a lot of large players interested in making it seem (relatively) legitimate.

Contrast this to when people talk about gold having an intrinsic value, as you can't just replace gold with silver or copper when e.g. manufacturing electronics.

Great, suspected something like that :)

Interesting wrt workers -- how does TCP vs sockets start looking in a multiple worker + multicore scenario, esp. wrt peak QPS? That's more confusing for schedulers :) Also, FWIW, the GIL thing might even be true in the case of single core <> single vs multiple workers. Docker supports pinning (`cpuset`?), so should be pretty doable..

We actually have a fairly similar production setup, so up to GPUs confusing things, have been curious on how deep to look in upcoming scaling work.

As a fun extra wrinkle, we also used to have nginx as a poor man's api gateway: `request -> [ nginx_container -[tcp]-> app_container1 -[tcp]-> nginx_container -[tcp]-> app_container2 -[tcp]-> ... ]`, but had enough quality issues that we removed the internal nginx indirections.

What is the advantage of sending a push notification as opposed to a SMS alert ?

My alerting regime is also built on 'curl' commands that generate SMS via twilio.

For example:

curl -s -X POST -d "Body=$msg" -d "From=$from" -d "To=$to" "https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/$accountsid/Messages" -u "$accountsid:$authtoken"

... and I am very happy with the ability to send SMS with both a configurable from and to number.

However I am interested and open-minded - what are the benefits of using a push notification ?

I've used it before in a military capacity (actually during test deployments of the system). Interface-wise it's basically google earth, complete with ability to turn on layers and filter temporal ranges. The real magic was how data was induced into the system, and how it could be parsed. Basically geographically aware SQL, with a bunch of tools for correlation and inference of different data types. At the time, our head of intelligence was smitten with it, thought it would end our current conflict.
