Thanks for the ideas - I think that's how I would have to approach it as well in that I would really want to further explore the possibilities of IoT. I've done some in the past for home energy systems but past energy I haven't seen a lot of high value opportunities. Certainly some things that could be smoother (like your projects).
The timing is unpredictable, but I think it's highly likely that you will get the opportunity to buy yourself a house if you are thrifty and patient.

The value of WETH going to zero could cause a near system wide collapse. It is being used as collateral for a staggering number of loans. Bridges in the colloquial way of saying it, are too big to fail.

I wonder if network insiders had been prepared for the eventuality of something like this happening, and were just executing a playbook.
I don't think declining population will change much, it's not going to be uniform. The remote villages/cities where all the kids leave as soon as possible will disappear once their ageing population die out. What's left of those villages will keep on migrating to the big cities, potentially even making the problem worse.
When was the last time I heard about Kamala Harris? (A Study in 8 Graphs)
When Europeons first recorded their impressions of my part of TN, they noted it was "almost treeless". This area is sub-tropical jungle and 20 years is sufficient for the forest to reclaim cleared land. I have never heard of a proposal to "return the land to its natural state" around here that included the vast fires and labor needed to deforest this part of the state.

Pestilent swamps, dense thickets of fresh forest, packs of coyotes (and the occasional werewolf); all those things that define this land to its residents for the last two centuries are all new here. Before that it was apparently tended pastureland for perhaps millennia.
There's a good reason for this though; when transferring data to the watch, Apple has two options: Bluetooth, which goes at a maximum of 2Mbps, or Wi-Fi/LTE, which destroys the battery. You can test this by using the "Download with Apple Watch" feature in Spotify, where it takes hours to do 100 songs unless you disable the Bluetooth on your phone, but then the battery drains on the watch.

As such, the only way to do podcast transfers in a reasonable amount of time is to do them on the charger, because you probably wouldn't want to have your watch die half way through the day because several of your subscriptions released a bunch of long episodes. This is also why I don't listen to audio from the watch pretty much ever.
The connection itself has nothing to do with CSS. This is not "connecting to database", it at best "writing SQL queries in CSS".

Because people like to joke about things that are common causes of little problems (and sometimes big ones) to so many of us in life. What exactly is so outdated about it? or the real fact that marriage is a marathon sometimes?
You are free to do side gigs, just you need to drop everything if the main job needs you.
Right, but business and public spheres interact all the time, in all kinds of ways.

Say you're building a massive factory and request a road closure for a while, so that parts necessary to run your business can arrive - it inconveniences a lot of people who use that road daily. For another example - film crews ask for location closures for filming all the time, it's hardly exclusive to US - you ask if you can shut down a major street in a big city for an hour, and usually the request is granted, just so you can make some money on a film or whatever.

It's clearly a trade-off between the public and the business sphere, right?

For the most straightforward example - there are bridges in Rotterdam that open up to let the ships pass. So let's say you are driving to work, but have to wait 30 minutes because some asshole is sailing his shop across the canal to make money. Everything is for sale, right?

Of course this is an extreme example, but I really don't see those things as that different. The yacht building company wants to make a sale, so they requested that the bridge be dismantled temporarily to finish that sale. That doesn't mean everything is for sale - more that everything has a price. That's not the same thing.

I also find it really amusing that random people across the internet really care about some random bridge in Rotterdam - things like that happen daily and all the time, just not to complete a sale of a yacht, so no one really writes about them.
This argument always comes up, and the general conclusion is that the vast, vast, vast majority of people will never willingly donate a single penny. Those that will donate typically aren't price-sensitive.

I completely agree with you and would give, say, $12/year. But there's no way I'm giving $5/month. Luckily Signal also has a "booster" one-time donation option so I'm just going to "boost" twelve bucks. Maybe I'll remember to give again next February, who knows?
Facebook shows you whatever is working to keep you there. I do like reading about politics but I also mute or unfollow anyone that is putting too much of that on my feed.

Twitter is where I go to be mad about news. I've managed to keep FB about old-friend stalking.
I bought a copy recently and it's much improved from what it was before. The new mixing algorithm is very nice and mostly transparent.

That said it's still a huge CPU hog, particularly with watercolors; it routinely soaks up 6/8 hyper threads on my iMac. Simulating real paint as a physical process seems to only happen on CPUs instead of GPUs, so a lot of these apps get really chuggy on larger canvases, whereas simple stamping engines (like in Affinity Photo) run very fast in Metal, but cannot simulate paint all that well.

Not sure if you could do a physical simulation of paint in Metal/OpenGL/Vulcan etc.

The new mixing algorithm works pretty well, but obviously that's only one part of simulating painting.

It is not only better for people but also for the environment.

In my past life, I bought a lot of gizmos thanks to random ads. Most of those gadgets end being used once or twice, and then go in donation pile or trash.

People can invest extra cash, retire early, donate. And I think those jobs that are lost due to less consumption will pave a way towards more meaningful work eventually.
You might want to look at sponsorblock. It allows you to annotate sponsored segments, and will automatically skip them. Of course you'll also get the benefit of other users annotating so in my experience it skips just about all sponsored segments without having to do anything.

That is one reason to choose a framework instead of building from scratch, so you don't have to make decisions like "Where do I put Y". The most import value a framework provides isn't in the way it functions, but that it is a collection of idioms, decisions and conventions that everyone has to use.

It also means I don't have to worry about where Dev X put thing Y, because I know where to look for it already.

That's what software patterns are good for as well, a shared set of idioms so you don't have to invent new approaches. I think that's important in a professional environment but less so in a personal one. For personal projects I just do whatever is fun.
A lot of people here say that the glut of video games is because "the society values art highly, while it undervalues regular jobs". I disagree. The main cause for video games overproduction IMO is that, the "real" jobs (fixing potholes etc.), are unpleasant and demanding in all kinds of ways (having a boss, having a fixed schedule, having work to external expectations, dealing with unpleasant physical conditions), while making a game at home is basically a very nice and insular activity - no boss, no deadlines, complete creative freedom. It's basically the best job there is in a sense - that's why people are taking shots at it. If it comes with extra societal appreciation, it's just a nice added bonus on top.

Taking the company private means that you have to buy all outstanding shares. How are you going to come up with the money to do that? Valuation is usually around 20x earnings. If you do it through share buybacks, this process will take decades.

Pretty much the only way to do it is with an outside investor and in that case the company still doesn't "own itself".
This statement is just a perfect illustration of how manipulation has been normalized in our everyday lives. Your attention constantly being undermined for the benefit of perpetual awareness of consumer goods is just how things should be apparently. I guess if you're in the business of writing "really awesome code" to force people's attention into spending money you have to believe in advertising as a civil right or something but society as a whole doesn't have to agree with you.
But then again, even if he knew, how is that his fault?

If the company said "Mr Bezos, to deliver your yacht we'll have to dismantle a bridge, but don't worry, we asked the city council and they agreed already" - then again, how is he the bad guy here? Why is no one blaming the city council for agreeing to this???
yeah but for a long time their stock price was built on the dream of growth. Of course you can have a publicly traded company with a steady business. A good board and leadership can keep it going.

Right now it feels like Wall street is realizing the growth party at Meta is ending. Now it's about figuring out how much, if at all, it's going to contract and what the real value of the business will be going forward.
I wrote a niche grep library (in C++) that uses the byte code approach. I’m not a Go programmer, and am gobsmacked about how switch works—the jump table switch in C/C++ is a huge part of the benefit of a byte code VM. Also, my guess is that you may see a disproportionate performance increase (>18%) between the AST interpreter and the byte code backend with larger AWK programs, due to the latter’s better cache characteristics.

YMMV with computed goto. It was an important technique but modern processors with their crazy branch predictors can yield disappointing results today. It didn’t help my VM.

I would -not- write your own regex library. Doesn’t RE2 have a Go port? Or maybe something else? It’s a world of pain.

Given AWK’s usage as a string processor, I’d sell out hard for string processing. Maybe an opcode specifically for “hardcoded string op” with a secondary operand denoting which type of string op that you dispatch to through an array? Then just load that up with beefy functions and the VM is used to glue together the string operations.

Also, not sure how possible this is in Go, but if it allows for unions, packed structs, and bitfields, you can get some benefit from having 32 bit instructions where the opcodes are a byte and then have the other three bytes available for operands, and additionally allowing for some instructions to be multiword (so a jump could have a second word following that’s the target address, for a full 32 bits). Condensing your byte code without incurring other costs (bit access, compression) is key to improving your L1 cache rate. A cache line can then fit 16 instructions.

Preallocating as much memory as possible is helpful, too. Even if there are necessary conditionals for growing arrays and whatnot, they’re likely to be false and thus handled by branch prediction with no cost.

Has it? It kept source code outdated for a year while implementing support for an altcoin that their ex-CEO stands to profit from. All the while users were asking to implement stuff that's actually been requested for years.

I like Signal as a product but my opinion of the company making it has soured pretty substantially.
Early adopters got life long free access... until eventually even the 99 cents was dropped.
Did you get slower, or did this start being a problem now (not 5 years ago) for some other reason?
I'm curious then, how does this work with platform exclusives? Are they entered into these databases?
I think it is wrong to optimize for such users since those are more likely to swallow anything anyway. But you also need to capture the more versed crowd, which will also be required to support the casual users.

Have as much settings as you want, sensible defaults are important though.
> I think this is your problem. Stop using teleport and actually move. You can get feet trackers to bring more immersion, but nothing kills immersion more than teleportation.

Nope, that's not a real choice. I have 10m^2 of free space, which is far more than the average person has, but its still not enough. I also can't move very quickly. Running in VR is not advisable, but walking in video games sucks. Go to a VR warehouse and watch people play with a warehouse scale game with no physical limitations. They still just kind of walk around slowly.

> Why wouldn’t it count? I’m pretty sure it does just like ping pong and boxing.

I already got the standing still experience with the wii. I mean its fine, those games are among the best vr has to offer. Wii boxing and table tennis was also solid. But I'm not going to trick myself into believing that its substantially different than what we had before. Were it not for the head motion tracking, these games could be played on a TV. I can play beatsaber expert+ levels without wearing the headset so long as there aren't walls to dodge. The headset isn't adding much. It's just that motion detection remains a fun gimmick.

> I think it's highly dependent on your setup and game. imo playing Quest 2 wireless helps a lot. If you have a lot of physical space for VR, but you fail to actually use it; it defeats its purpose. It's akin to complaining about the lack of tactile feedback in a video game, when you have both vibration and sound turned off.

It's more like someone trying to convince you that video games are completely different with vibration, when in fact, they're more of a nice touch.
You just clarified so many things for me.
Firstly, Random websites tell me that each Facebook user is worth on average ~$35/year on revenue figures--no indication if that was net or gross.

So, ~$5/month gross costs is appropriate when comparing it to deferred "you are the product" and taking into account cryptographers, developers, testers, system administrators, infrastructure administrators, team leads, program leads, and adding in physical infrastructure and network interconnections.

Otherwise you're just valuing against your own perception of "how much is my disposable income", which is different between any economic zone. And that's a poor argument when some people's concept of a steak dinner is a McLaren 720s that's disposable after a month.

Secondly, there are payment processor margins to take into account. At ~$60/year on 12 payments a pre-authorized standpoint, that may be less than on 1 payment of $10. I'm not interested enough to check.
I don't know that this is really a disagreement. You prefer a more skill-based experience; grandparent prefers a more relaxed experience. Both of these are reasonable preferences.
What if they don't want anyone? Like myself, I'm 41 but I'm just not interested in the idea of having a spouse/partner/whatever. I'm quite happy on my own but I've noticed folks find it concerning that I am this way. My parents use to bug me for years about me settling down and having kids until I came out trans to them then they finally got the idea that I'm probably never going to have kids at least not biologically. None the less, I'm just the kind of person that prefers a quiet evening with a book or watching a documentary rather than having a date or someone else to pester me.
> I still don't get how this is unique to Facebook or even at all avoidable in the future. Internet facilitates communication. Unless you censor every word, it _will_ be used for pushing conspiracy theories, too, how can you avoid that?

Imagine you had control if your feed algorithm, or that engaging wasn't automatically translating into endorsing and recommending.
No. You are confusing the primary purpose being an investment and being a dwelling.

The intentions and behavior of the buyer can be profoundly different.

Unsurprisingly, most countries have different regulations for first home buyer VS local investors VS foreign investors.

If anything it's silly not wanting to acknowledge the difference. Or perhaps a bit cheeky.

The increase in prices depends on the amount of demand relative to supply. If all the demand for land in coastal California was redirected to the land in rural Midwest/Northeast, there is so much supply that it would cause a much smaller increase in price.

And it very well maybe that there is no solution to the problem of people having to scrimp due to high real estate prices. People may inherently want to compete with each other and agglomerate into highly desirable areas.
I think for a company like Apple that's not even enough... Considering they pay this kind of bonus to their top employees and are well aware of their value to the company and how much they can bring to the table. I will be interested to see how Apple will build their staff that will work on cryptocurrencies. After all, recently https://cryptodaily.se wrote the news that Apple is working on building its own cryptocurrency wallet. I think this would be a logical integration for Apple, and a very significant development for the cryptocurrency world. I'm afraid to imagine how much bitcoin will rise after this news, we all remember how the price soared when Tesla started accepting payments in bitcoins. Now compare selling a car for bitcoin and millions of users around the world using Apple's cryptocurrency wallet!

TikTok is pretty well targeted. You just choose what to engage with. I skip funny, animals, and politics. I watch woodworking, cooking, and self-reliance clips. My daughter watches world class medical experts as they explain cool things.

The "crack" element of it is you can feel productive consuming it, after all, you are kinda learning. My hack is I want to start taking notes during some TikToks and then not return until I perform the recipe, craft, life hack, etc.

Before advertising was as widespread and exploited as it is today, people build businesses around service, quality, worth of mouth and recommendations. That resulted in some truly great things, and it seems that with advertising we've lost a lot of that. Ultimately it's probably to do with people being cheap and advertisements just exploit that.

At least for me personally, it has come to the point where I don't believe advertisements anymore.

Is there a market for a secure messaging app (similar to Signal) that does not rely on personally identifying information (phone numbers and emails) or is that too fringe?
I was amazed that in the DAO hack everybody made money, even the victims! You ended up with coins on both chains, more value then you started with.

Most messaging app users don't really care about encryption either. Most (or at least a large minority) probably wouldn't mind if their messages were used to 'deliver ads more suitable for you'.

It doesn't mean these aren't important issues. Until Signal drops the phone number requirement (nothing beats that for efficient user tracking), allows desktop use without requiring a smartphone anywhere in the process, open sources their server code, and allows for third party clients in a reasonable way; I agree with dfkajglag: not yet an ally of user freedom.
