An unsubscribe link doesn't have to immediately cancel all service and communication. It can simply lead to account settings or even to a page explaining how to cancel the account.
To share a contrarian view, what I have always observed is that if an organization has an ingrained culture of 80-20, then by the time something percolates 3-4 hand offs, the org half-asses the execution and more often than not fails. Organizations that can execute even somewhat more consistently instead run rings around and completely destroy the 80-20 organization over time and people lose their jobs.

The secret is to figure out from an organization standpoint what is really a "good enough to succeed" end-deliverable or end-execution and organize to deliver that "good enough" thing consistently with perfectionism. Paired with this , there needs to be a process which continuously stretches what it means to be "good enough" over time with productivity and feature enhancement investments.
Thx for replying. I think that would be a bit harsh on her because honestly she has been very supportive overall on the things that I do. I don't think it is her. I think it is me. I just don't know what is wrong ?
In the real world, reputation matters and some people don't want to talk to you unless someone can vouch for you.

This has absolutely nothing to do with someone not wanting to talk to someone else. It has everything to do with some third party having the power to decide whether the other two may communicate.

These days it's all so centralized in a few very large players that they really likely just talk to each other.

And thus the single most important method of remote communication in the world today, the method that is frequently akin to root access to our online lives, became subject to arbitrary monitoring and interference by huge, powerful organisations with their own interests and negligible regulatory oversight, legal safeguards or accountability to anyone but their shareholders.

Do you really not see why this is a problem? You talk about the internet matching the real world, but in the real world we've had laws against monitoring and interference with things like postal mail and telephone calls for a very long time almost everywhere.

Right decision from Apple. Lukashenko may force any developer from Belarus to integrate a backdoor into any app (no matter if they want to do this). Lukashenko may even kill a developer and let his security agency to publish "modified" versions of the app to do some really bad stuff.
"Sometimes difficult to start".
This advice is good for the subset of people who are realists. For the optimist, it's akin to saying 'do what you love and you won't work a day in your life.' The optimist will be happy to "make things" no one needs which have no practical value.

I'm Bitcoin only as well, and Block/Square hardware wallet will be the same, so it probably won't be good for you either.

There are lots of features in Bitcoin that are important and not addressed by mixed wallets because of the lack of development time, so these two types of wallets are getting separated by the market (which I see as a good thing both for Bitcoiners and mixed-coiners).
The conversations about spam are usually incredibly nebulous, as there's different perceptions and perspectives.

I think what you're picking up on, is that some folks don't differentiate between commercial email filtering services, and personal spam filters.

There's conflation of email 'I don't care about and don't want', bulk UCE, shifty list operators with shifty 40 page terms, etc.
We had a free society and democracy before the internet.
Law enforcement and IC are starting with the assumption that they are entitled to the best access they’ve ever had. Yes, things are going dark that they had access to 20 years ago, but 20 years before that they didn’t have access because most of the conversations were happening face to face. At that point they needed to rely on traditional boots on the ground police/intelligence work instead of electronic backdoors. Why is it impossible for them to go back to doing things that way?
Safe your 500 bucks per hour. A lawyer will not do anything

Sigh, I think I understand this statement. A warning to patent holders or a call to let it all burn down. A clever appeal to class divisions. I can't work through all the implications.

But I do know the "enemy" of my "enemy" is not necessarily my "friend".

I've seen the nightmare of the next Internet. Whether it's micropayments for digital stamps, or slowly refilling quotas, or hard hierarchical controls, it's more power to central authority.

I know I'll never win this argument.

The Internet will keep fracturing and normal citizens will get more frustrated. There will be a change. But just like the hatred of social media, lurking underneath it is an insatiable thirst for power.
`dup a b = {x0 x1}` will just substitute `a` by `x0` and `b` by `x1`, no matter where `a` and `b` are. So, if you apply that, verbatin, to:

(Pair λx0(λy0(Pair a c)) λx1(λy1(Pair b d)))

You get:

(Pair λx0(λy0(Pair x0 c)) λx1(λy1(Pair x1 d)))

Does that make sense?

To answer your question, what I've read about Lightning it sounded convoluted. The need to have a watcher keeping a channel open, invoices, just seems overly complex. I have tried receiving sats from online Lightning faucets and that part was impressive.

Ethereum's L1 growth and improvements seem more logical to me.

Is there a good place to go to track the adoption of Lightning?
Mid senior devs do seem to be pretty good. Entry level devs who think they're senior cause most of the trouble....

I've seen some small projects by non-coders that are better than some real devs, because they can be really aggressive about avoiding original code. It might be hacky... but they find ways to leverage stuff that already exists.
Yeah. Maybe there should be a law that makes it illegal to attempt to ban encryption.

Exactly, not everything needs to have rounded corners with 20px of padding. I also like the default design.
The hard problem in 2D rendering (where objects are drawn in a user-determined order) isn't translucent blending of unsorted polygons, but conflation artifacts. If you have two adjacent squares where the first covers the left half of a pixel and the second covers the right half, and both are drawn with alpha blending, there will be background showing through which shouldn't exist, and too little influence from the first square's color. Similarly if you drawn two identical squares on top of each other, which both cover the left half of a pixel, the first square will have some influence over the background which shouldn't happen at all.

Not new. See: McVeigh, Kaczynski, 1960s race riots, etc.

What's new is the media being able to saturate everyone's attention with these events. In the past, there would have been some TV and radio news, and articles in each newspaper, but those didn't occupy people's attention like internet news and regurgitated social media news does now.
Depending on your exact needs, you might also want to try Next Generation Shell. It's a fully featured programming language for the DevOps-y stuff with convenient "print JSON" switch so "ngs -pj YOUR_EXPR" evaluates the expression, serializes the result as JSON and prints it.

The saga of Arrow functions with callback functions
Digital's VMS/OpenVMS had something that was a fair way towards this, in that a file was created with a version number (myfile.txt;1) and when modified, a 2nd file (myfile.txt;2) was created, and so on...

In practice we used to work on things then purge when happy with the final changes, as we didn't have that much 'spare' disk, but it was a nice feature.
Me too bud. But I think it's something I should try approaching once I've given category theory a solid try. As I understand it, Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT) / Univalent Foundations is a way of building up a theory of mathematics from type theory.
I think this is how it should be in a more perfect world.
and the purest implementation of an iterative development process.

The first implementation you write is and will always be a (throw away) prototype.

You learn a lot. You understand much more of the spec.
Maybe users got a go. Maybe its just internal.

Now your write the first version.
It is better.
You understand even more.

Writing a proper prototype first used to be a thing.
As we all know once a prototype was getting close to finished
the budget changed and bam your prototype is in production.

It is not all that practical with huge applications.
Perhaps there is a lesson in that.

I'm thinking exactly about the same thing, but a broader one called the Carmack's road, from Shadowforge on Apple ][ to maybe Quake I, all developed on the original platforms (emulator). Of course not as a tutorial series but as a learning path for myself for the next maybe 5-8 years.

I don't think we're seeing a return to cold war dynamics at all. There's no clear lines. You can see it in the French and German reaction to Russia right now that has very little in common with the US, the reluctance of Japanese firms to actually move out of China at all. Even the US went ahead and fast-tracked a trade-deal with China in 2019, don't remember that with the Soviet Union.

Two things are massively different compared to the cold war. One is that there's no ideological line between communism and capitalism, secondly there's no primacy of the state. Private actors carry significant weight and they have different interests.
I happened upon a technique that works. If you have to do something big, don't try to deconstruct it to smaller tasks, plan it all out and create a schedule. Build a prototype of it instead, then a better prototype and so on. If you must have a deadline, have a close one, like next week or so.

Winning is really important, because the human brain is really short sighted, it needs to see that things are progressing, and it needs to believe that something can be done.

I'm working on an app that let's you measure your progress using a conversational interface that also suggests things for you to do. It purposefully only allows short-term planning, and supports no planning at all. It learns of your life through conversation and gives you tools to help change it. This is kind of what a psychologist does, they reflect you back to yourself and encourage you to try things, which works better if you can succeed at those things and believe that you can.
There were many attempts by the same people to monitor phone and mail communications.
How would 90-10 work vs. 80-20 -- even less work for 10% more gain? Perhaps you could have 90-25 or 90-30 but it seems to me like 90-10 is impossible in comparison to 80-20 unless the 10 is not a subset of the 20.
Perhaps I misinterpreted; you're right. Foreground apps are perfectly allowed to use the clipboard, it's just background app access that got axed. Apps don't even need any permissions to respond to clipboard events!

The toasts were added to Android 12 (https://developer.android.com/about/versions/12/behavior-cha...) but the permission required to call from the background isn't available to normal apps. The API should only show for active applications or input methods, and non-IME inputs that call the API (i.e. foreground apps) will show a notification if you have this setting enabled.

Basically, it should only happen with the TCP Smart app open, and show when the TCP Smart app is using the clipboard. It shouldn't just randomly happen inside other apps, unless the devs behind that app are somehow bypassing Android's security features.

What I mean is that if you are going to put your processes as a different user anyway (or a different user namespace), trying to break all the features that allow a user to manage same UID processes is unnecessary.
Something similar can be achieved today with a combination of autosaves or version saves at the application level as well as time machine backups at the OS level
The basic ethos of Bitcoin development is that every feature that doesn't improve scalability, security or fungibility of Bitcoin is a potential security vulnerability.

Even if it's just a thin layer, if it's implemented, it's destroying years of work of improving Bitcoin fungability.

I don't mind losing out on bundled document editing apps, etc. by not giving my email money to Google or Microsoft, but I do wish the smaller providers saw email and calendars as two sides of the same service as I do. I use Migadu for email, but their calendar offering is still in beta and very primitive. So I use Fruux, to support a small open source company. But i've had support messages completely ignored by Fruux and the cost of paying for 2 micro services feels disproportionately expensive.
To be clear, Postfix is the Open Source Linux software for sending email. In a perfect world, Postfix would be all you need for sending.

Providers like Postmark and Mailgun let you forward and send email through them. Essentially, you are paying these companies to deal with IP address reputation management and ensure high deliverability.

Who's buying yuan from you in exchange for Bitcoin?

Who's selling you yuan in exchange for Bitcoin?

Given that yuan is tightly controlled... How is Bitcoin hiding anything in this process?
Can you be more concrete? Here's what I'm imagining you're saying: first you take a month's paycheck out of the bank in yuan, in cash; then you walk down the street to a jeweler's shop that will exchange your yuan in cash for US$100 bills; then you send a WeChat message to a guy who sells Bitcoin, and the next day you take a taxi with your US$100 bills to a cafe, where he transfers you the Bitcoin and you give him the US$100 bills. Is that what you mean?

I'm wondering if somebody who spends all of their highly-controlled digital yuan in cash every month, and not on anything detectable, will draw suspicion.
I've been using Everything for like a decade at this point and I'd never really experimented with anything beyond the laziest search, but these bookmarks are awesome! Thanks for sharing.
I avoided the problem by only ever sending email on behalf of customers, not receiving. IE, saas app can send out quotes and invoices and things but any replies go to the end users own address not any of our servers, and didn't host our own email.

What I didn't do was ignore the problem or think there was no problem. Things still got blocked elsewhere but I (personally or my company) didn't do it.

I recognized that handling someone elses correspondence is a non-trivial responsibility. Yes the job is hard, and so you either decide that is your whole job, or you outsource it to someone whos whole job it is. You don't just do a poor job because it's hard and not your all day every day job.
Does iCloud+ with custom domains support adding labels, e.g. youremail+label@domain.com?
>You seem to operate under the presumption that content and culture generally can only be created on major platforms. Nothing stops creators from finding other spaces to post their content. It's what sub-cultures have done pretty much throughout time -- find alternate spaces to explore ideas that might be outside of the mainstream.

Yes, I agree, this used to be how things worked. Counter-culture movement appears, gains some followers, some leaders, gains momentum, and gradually or overnight breaks into the mainstream.

And this is precisely what happened here - a counter-culture movement tired with the establishment, a lot of followers, some leaders, some momentum - but the moment where change would actually happen is now impossible.

>alternate spaces

What alternate spaces? If Joe Rogan moves his podcast to Apple Music, they are going to ban him. If he had stayed on youtube, they would have removed his channel. If he creates his own app, it's going to be banned in the play store and app store. If he moves to a smaller, existing app, it's going to be protested and banned.

Yes, it's technically possible, there are some options. But they're all terrible. They are not a way to reach the mainstream.
Sorry I thought your comment was in response to my earlier GP comment. I edited it to clarify. And yes I haven’t seen any of the same things with the Canada protests.
Multi-million dollar business but can't Google?
> Amazon comingling genuine products with fakes

That's a pretty good example of introducing artificial fungibility "to spare on warehousing costs". It goes without saying that this also leads to risk for customers; there's no way of knowing if an order for some given SKU will be fulfilled by a genuine product or a fake. It's nonetheless true that you can arbitrarily mix orders without changing their fulfillment properties, so a kind of fungibility is indeed present.
> I'd say the larger difference is left activism is pro-social, or hyper-social in the extreme. "Black Trans" is promoting one specific identity, but not at the expense of others (apart from dilution).

Left activism is anti-social: it elevates the sovereign individual to primacy. It rejects the legitimacy of the majority to impose norms and demand conformity—even when it comes to socialization of children. It replaces that with the right of small minorities to impose norms on everyone else. For example, whereas in Asian countries you have norms that demand you address elders by formal titles, in left activism you have norms that require everyone to exchange pronouns for the sake of a small minority. The insistence on social affirmation, moreover, makes modern left activism different than the old liberal pluralism.

In the form of intersectionality, left activism is also appropriative. It uses the political capital of Black people, for example, to advance a number of other ideological positions which most Black people and Muslims don’t support and don’t agree with.
The thing is propaganda is always necessary to initiate a war. Because people won't agree to mass killing unless they can believe they are fighting evil.

My measure for a "good source" has changed over time:

1. No news outlet is without bias, but the very least I expect is for them to address other popular points of view (irrespective of what I or others think about them).

2. At least the text version can be accessed without a pay wall. A pay wall is not the proper model for monetization, it prevent discoverability and organic growth.

3. They do original investigative journalism, and not just read tweets. If the news article is reporting on social media, they should make the effort to reach out for comment.

4. Does not use standard pieces of news that are mass published without transformation. I should not be able to search for the headline and find 20+ identical articles - it shows zero effort went into processing the material.

5. Does not have a conflict of interest between their investors and the news they report on. You cannot trust the news companies owned by Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, etc, to report on the people that fund them.

6. Does not politicize individuals who are not publicly known. A random person who makes a bad tweet does not deserve to be mobbed on the national/international scale.

7. Does not defame or add framing further than what is obvious (or at least minimizes it).

Maybe there are some others I forget.

Some smaller non-mainstream news sources that come close (in my opinion) are Spiked [1] and Quillette [2]. They generally tend to be critical of all positions and range somewhere around the centralist position on most topics.

The net is open but there's a question of how easy or even if it is possible to gain an audience comparable to what the "closed" web offers. If you don't gain popularity then it is not as easy to get high value guests in the first place because those too may seek a big audience or give more value to venues that offer it so I'm not sure I get what your point is after all.
