I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention the PinePhone Pro (became available this year) still not consumer ready but Soo much faster than pinephone (one of the main and valid complaints).

It honestly feels like close to being a daily driver with the only thing missing being the battery life. (Caveat: don't care about camera and honestly don't know what that state that is in).

Everything (mainly software) is still being worked on but I was surprised just how much of a difference the new hardware made
You are a poor communicator. When did you first ask how my quote relates to Spotify? Why did you post an unrelated hypothetical under my comment?
Do you have any good documentation that backs up your statement that is a lie? I’d be curious to read it.
You seem to be conflating hacked contracts and hacked coins.

AFAIK, none of the major cryptocurrencies have ever been "hacked."
I'm turning 35 at the end of this year and reading through your post I feel like you need human connection. You're really not in a bad spot, though. A lot of people would kill to have the amount of savings you have, at that age.

I haven't achieved much professionally. I have about 500k in savings as well and have just worked corporate jobs. However, I met my wife when I was 23, we got married when I was 30, and I have two young children. To me, it makes it all worth it. And, it's not too late at 35. There are so many people that have put off personal life at the gain of their professional life, that you're bound to find someone in a very similar situation.

That said, you might need to be less picky at this point and realize that you're looking for someone for life. Keep that in mind as you start dating.

> Now I feel too old to go to festivals, bars and clubs and make new friends that way.

I couldn't imagine doing this. It sounds absolutely terrible. I don't try to make friends anymore because I have enough going on just having a family. I also have zero desire to ever enter a club. Bar? Sure, I'll go with my wife sometimes and it's fun, as long as it's quiet. Staying out until 4am partying? That part of my life is in the past and I'm grateful for it. I look back at it and feel like I was probably searching for purpose and drowning it out with alcohol and drugs when I couldn't find it.
That is my favorite Bojack Horseman episode for so many reasons.
The letter said nothing of interest

“The team found the letter was an appeal by Dickens for someone to intervene over a rejected advertisement.”

The person who deciphered the most bits was a man from San Jose in California and he was honored.
Something can be both better and overpriced. This thread is weirdly fixated on cynical reasons being the only thing worth discussing here.
I used to play Worms so much as a child, it's nice to read about Team17's origins.
The Litter Robot is (in my experience) the one auto-cleaning litter box that 100% lives up to the hype. Totally worth the (high) price to never have to scoop cat poop again.
I think the parent means the new Apple Silicon-based MBPs, not the 2019 models. I may be misreading the way you phrased your comment though.
I can vouch it affects neighbours, I've gotten many complaints from neighbours in the apartment below me. Especially when watching a movie. Cue a helicopter flying into the scene.
They opted against the use of DLT, so ok for now, I suppose. After all, it is something explicitly under central control.
You give legislators too much credit. Laws are written all the time without thought about enforceability.
We need both, actually.

We need corporate/similar participants to help pay the bills. We have enough funding to get off the ground, but we want to be able to scale up quite a bit. Corporate participants might have other benefits, like giving us access to specialists in certain areas.

But we also need/want individual contributors or volunteers. The best way to help right now is probably through the OpenSSF working groups, but we're actively discussing ways that Alpha-Omega could leverage volunteers and individuals more directly. If you have ideas, please get in touch -- I hope to have a better answer here in a few weeks.
I don't see any reasons why Olympics should be held in single place or small area. Have for example larger regions or continents to share bids and allow them to bid for sports that are locally popular, thus having venue reuse. Also maybe scale down size for venues and number of events.
Seriously though, I would recommend Dubliners.
Congrats on shipping your project!

I know you cut out lots of features for simplicity, which makes total sense to me if your goal was to finish & ship it, but if you wanted to add the wordle keyboard &c, you might look into using `tui`.
Thank you Team17 for giving me my break into software. I was/am a massive introvert and had failed many interviews because I was so awkward to talk to. At Team17 the interviewer just talked at me for an hour while I listened and that was it (my demo was a pretty awesome GTA clone so I guess he didn't feel the need to assess my skills further).
But yeah, lots of Worms games. Worms 3D and Worms Forts were in full production simultaneously. The lead designer explained to me that this was what the publisher demanded, and he had a mortgage to pay.
So it was a bit disenchanting but I'm still grateful to have lived the dream.
True. But is it really important "why"? I think what's more important is whether we can correct AI's output in a way that makes it learn to avoid writing similar head-scratching code in the future.

Olympics Opening Ceremony draws record-low ratings
In an area where I can vote for judges, I do google searches on all the candidates and rarely get good information. If you’re lucky you can get some very rudimentary assessment of if they have any legal background at all.

But to really research a judge candidate I think would take access to a legal case database and a fairly sophisticated understanding of law, and far too much time.
Do you have any examples of such vile content that would be worse than what we see today?
Isn't that a Merkle tree? "Blockchain" is not commonly used for what git does.
I read your monitor selection guide and one thing that stood out to me was the distance you need to have from you monitor. Completely overlooked that one when I made my first upgrade to a larger monitor and it definitely lowered my use of that monitor. Sometimes i found myself using my second, older monitor more since the distance was more comfortable.
Yeah they know how to build relationships.

Can’t sweat from cycling? Find a hill
> We use to follow the stories of the atheletes

The advent of the Internet made it much more widely known that the athletes are being badly exploited and forced to risk getting permanently injured or killed in order to make more money for the corporations that run the Olympics, so it no longer seems ethical to prop it up by paying attention. Especially since several do die each year while training.

Also the fact that they're getting rid of all the real sports in favor of events that have better TV ratings.

And also the fact that many of the events are so badly run that luck plays just as much a factor as talent in determining who wins. The whole thing is just meh.
If the 'state' pushes for digital identification for access to networks, we have a golden opportunity to create a public key-exchange mechanism as public utility, as a component of the digital id. If followed up with robust ad-hoc distributed VPN services/platforms, there will possibility for creation of impenetrable (modulo algos & execution) private virtual spaces.
How do you know the regular expressions are correct, without understanding them?
> or remap to go from degrees to the 0 UINT_MAX range

Some systems do this internally, it has advantages beyond the wraparound. They still export standard ISO compliant data format though since that is what everyone knows.
One of the singular greatest and most important aspects of online communities is the right to anonymity.

If every poster were required to have a government ID attached to their online presence I worry that many of the people who need access to online communities the most would be unable to participate in them. I don't know what the solution would be of course, but I'm tempted to pitch the idea of a "trust worthiness" score attached to users that functions somewhat like karma. Of course currently there's no practical and certainly no bias-free way to evaluate the massive amount of information being posted daily. There's also no way to guarantee that the majority of people would trust such a system nor that they are willing to verify any of the information they consume and readily spread.
Yes, please do shut down here!

What a quack.
It made more sense before globalization. It was a chance to consider going to some unexpected destination, bringing people together from all nations. Maybe take your spouse or your kids with you, go on a cruise, hire a tour guide, grab a book with some tips and short phrases in the local language and embark on an exciting adventure.

In the 21st century, we interact with the rest of the world on a daily basis. You can learn more about any destination online (heck, on Wikipedia alone) than you would from traveling there for a few days to watch some random assortment of sporting activities.

And I think to some extent we're so used to having everything at our fingertips that sometimes actually going to the destination is less rewarding than one would expect--spend a ton of money (vs. going on the internet 'for free'), deal with customs, deal with the occasional crying kid on the plane, maybe forget to bring an item you really needed, maybe get mugged or lose your passport, have issues with your hotel reservation...

Not to mention the opportunity cost. Compare the number of, say, Summer activities one could consider instead of going to the Olympics in 1952 vs 2022. If anything we suffer from too many alternatives today

Plus there's no Cold War to raise the stakes to the point where anything but the gold medal wins utter defeat.

And frankly I'd wager most people aren't that into nationalism anymore, except maybe the alt-right and its equivalents elsewhere. "I'm just trying to get through the week" trumps all else for most people.
For me, I developed strong feelings for my brother, mom, and sister and pursuing a relationship with each one of them has given me purpose. I was the same as you, but I realized I craved human interaction above all. It's really hard to just exist as a single person with acquaintances unless you're one of the rare people that are wired that way.
I can't say this for lightning or bitcoin, but a similar question was asked of nano.[1]

When I checked the numbers, it was 4% cheaper, but the convenience factor wasn't there.

Worms Armageddon was a source of hundreds of hours of fun both as a couch game and online as a kid.

Simple yet has surprising depth to keep one playing forever.

I recently tried to play it again but for reason it has lost its magic. Maybe a consequence of age.
The coverage is very different where I am. Discovery plus has love and archive footage of nearly everything to stream.
Yep. the moment the internet stopped being about sharing information and became about making money and controlling populations it all went downhill.
The GANs are backdooring their way into really interesting outcomes, though. They're fantastic for compression: You compress the hell out of an input image or audio, then use the compressed features as conditioning for the GAN. This works great for super-resolution on images and speech compression.

eg, for speech compression:

Multiple mentions of "having the balls"
One reason I think is the fragmentation of culture. When there were only a limited number of TV channels you could reasonably have a handful of shows that everyone in the country would get together and watch, especially for event broadcasts like the Olympics. Now there are so many options the chances one thing will be able to dominate the conversation is very low, even if lots of people watch the Olympics, because of streaming each person might be watching totally different events at different times. The unified communal experience was a big part of what made it exciting.
Atlanta was a net positive in 1996 because they used a lot of the money on buildings that were used for decades after the Olympics were done.

Reading the piece the other day about Kansas giving away free property got me to wondering what it takes to make "affordable housing" worth "unpopular location".
Redditors have always been political, in fact it was such a big problem r/politics was one of the first subreddits. I think it’s great Reddit captures everything from far left to alt right while in r/skiing I don’t really ever see politics.
That's fair but homepathic medicine is dwarfed by regular medicine in the industrialized world. There's no homepathic Pfizer or Bayer. I think if there was another practice that was way better than targeted advertising, targeted advertising might exist as a distant woo-woo second.
This is precisely the kind of thing that should be a single file CGI-like script. It's a much better view than the stock file listing Apache would spit out. There is no need to complicate it with microservices, high availability, event-based architecture, etc. It takes a single HTTP GET request and spits out HTML that nicely renders the content. That's all it needs to do. One file is perfect.
When you're burned out, it's hard to simply be curious. And burnout is demotivating.
Both (IVM/HCQ) are not patented so there is no reason to depend or trust on multinational pharmaceutical companies.

You can access interactive meta analysis of 310 studies for HCQ[1] and 78 studies for ivermectin[2] below, it gets updated when new studies published. They also keep track of other treatments (in total 480[3]). But unfortunately only some of those treatments get media coverage like cannabidiol[4] even when they are neither the best performers nor best studied.

I was so shocked when my family member told me wordle is a website and not an app. I never thought that the masses would go for something like that in the package of a website. It really gives me hope for the future.
It's not about fear. It's about having long stretches of time to just think without distractions.
> everybody already knows that you shouldn't trust anonymous, un-sourced information you read online

* Your comment makes no sense in light of the establishment freaking out about "misinformation" online. If everybody already knew what not to trust, then why are they freaking out about misinformation spreading wildly on social media?

* You yourself claim that you find yourself believing unsourced claims at face value, so there's a contradiction there too. I thought you already knew what you shouldn't trust.

* There is no definitive source of truth that exists. Even if something is sourced by a "verified source", it can be false information, if even just by lying by omission. CNN, Fox News, Snopes, all politicians, and Facebook's fact checkers get things wrong or tell falsehoods. Trusting an "official source" is not a prescription to avoiding misinformation.
Are they terrible?

I was tuned into mens figure skating last night in time to see an incredible flawless performance from a young 19 year old man from Japan.

Some time later they were doing snowboarding slope style which was really fun to watch.

There might be less energy with less people in the crowd due to the pandemic, but the performances from the athletes are nonetheless fantastic.

Maybe I'm having a different experience as I'm in Canada and its broadcast differently. The CBC is essentially playing all olympics all the time, of course at various prime times compiling the gold medal finals (especially if a Canadian is in any sorts of contention).

CBC's streaming service Gem will be streaming everything, so with that in mind, if you're a fan of something niche (ie. in a canadian context: not-hockey, not-curling) you have more ability than ever before to watch an entire event.
I took it as in the presentation layer, but I can see where you're coming from. In that case I would agree with you, and I'm not sure why GP would complain about that.
Invading a country and using gray zone tactics for plausible deniability is already war.
It is interesting how the prior comment you made was flagged and is dead. It does not share this direct stance.

I agree, trust in our institutions is a vital necessity, and it is very easy to lose and hard to gain. This can't be seen as unrelated since it shows the dictates of the company and the the level of coverup and legal maneuvering they use.

The only reason anyone was paid from the lawsuit with talc and asbestos contamination within the US, was because it does not fall under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. A legal vaccine indemnification program paid for by US citizens.

It would be hard for anyone to honestly trust in something they have no legal recourse in dealing with.
Yes! Please do it!
Global decoupling: discovering active regions without central coordination
Asbestos is an extremely stable mineral fiber and sharp like glass. If you get it on your skin it may penetrate but it will eventually probably slough off. If it gets in your lungs, it has nowhere to go and can continue damaging tissue for the rest of your life. Similarly, if it gets inside your body through other routes, it has nowhere to go. The lawsuit is about the product being marketed for feminine hygiene.

Presumably if women put it on their privates every day, and it contains asbestos fibers, they will eventually have enough asbestos migrate internally to cause cancer, for example, in their ovaries - just like asbestos causes lung cancer when inhaled.
> In macOS, the entire display is rendered at 4K no matter what you pick from the resolution box.

This makes it sound as if macOS upscales a 4K render when displaying to (for example) 5K monitors, but on a 5K monitor everything is ultimately rendered at a full physical resolution of 5120x2880. But in the Displays Preference Pane, the logical resolution is set by default to 2560x1440 (2:1). One can choose a logical resolution of 5120x2880 (1:1), but I can't imagine anyone working like that.
Big waste of natural resources and contributor to pollution.

The Olympics aren't environmentally sustainable.
There's an infrastructure that keeps the vehicles running.

A switch to EV's would/will require coordination with thousands of local and regional electric service utilities to upgrade electric capacity [1] and letting of thousands of contracts to physically adapt post office truck yards. Retraining service personnel and acquisition of service equipment too.

[1]: Most likely with multiple service drops for redundancy as is typical of important facilities. Also generators for emergencies like disasters because unlike petroleum, electricity can't be stored in tanks.
Banks are centralized systems. They do guard against attacks from hackers. It doesn't seem to result in unlimited free money. How is this different?
Has anyone ever hacked normal central bank vs bank pipes and injected new balances, for example? Or wholesale siphoned off stuff from payment systems? Why would a decentralized system be stronger? Would really more people care to actively monitor it?

If the police exist to steal your money, beat and kill you with impunity the mob rule is already here it just isnt evenly distributed. The molotov cocktails are a trailing indicator.

Violent protest paired with nonviolent (e.g. Malcolm X + MLK/ireland/india) has a better track record of success at bringing about change. The Iraq war protests serve as an example of the failure of nonviolent only (and those protests were huge).

For the white liberal living in safety you can condemn the burned out police station and dead body equally. That's definitely your prerogative.
No, this is why it's important to have checks and balances against unrestrained judicial power.

These checks and balances must include legal as well as practical costs and difficulties in having those orders implemented.

The system should assume malice on all parties, and work accordingly.
I watched the whole thing.

If your theory isn't borne out by experiment, you should probably revise the theory or the experiment before publishing your video.
Unrelated? Trust is earned. Companies are big, but senior leadership teams and boards are pretty small and wield an enormous amount of influence and power and since we can't predict future actions we can only look backwards. Not allowing people to speak out could end up being more dangerous in the long run.
I don't know how US law is, but in The Netherlands this would've been unlawful evidence [1].

While I'm not surprised in Facebook's continual campaign of bipartisan self-abuse, I'm kinda having a hard time seeing the point of a convey protest in the US. The whole "50 smaller countries glued together" aspect of the United States means the Fed can't really influence local COVID policys as much as a regular nation-state, for good or ill.

Olympics are like nationalism on steroids. How can that be interesting?

It's also a tragedy. Tens of thousands of talented people who dedicate their lives to an event. Then they return from the Olympics to... get a job as a Wallmart greeter? It's a global waste of human potential
I was comparing MWCS (Mimblewimble + CoinSwap) with Monero.
Quoting from https://forum.grin.mw/t/mimblewimble-coinswap-proposal

We present a coin shuffling proposal with the following properties:

Users submit self-spends throughout the day. No interaction needed for shuffling.

Shuffling is performed at the end of the day by a set of mixnodes that cannot steal any coins.

Invalid self-spends are automatically filtered out. No need to abort or restart the shuffling.

As long as at least one mixnode is honest, then no one learns the input output links.

The size of the shuffle is limited only by blocksize and could easily be over a thousand.

Each shuffle only grows the chainsize by a small constant (~100 byte per mixnode), thanks to MW cut-through.

Widespread use of the protocol would leave the transaction graph mostly obscured.
UPDATING again with that the solution is found, thanks to user CraigJPerry. The blog post is updated with some details: https://blog.agical.se/en/posts/java-bitset-performance-myst...
