A friend asked me to watch that video back when it came out, but I couldn't get past all the technical inaccuracies about Bitcoin and Ethereum in the first half hour or so.

Most of those links are about artwork NFTs, not Bitcoin or Ethereum.

There are a lot of cryptocurrencies that are scams, and there are a lot of NFT projects that are scams. I've heard respectable arguments that Bitcoin and Ethereum are not actually all that useful (which is for the most part the point your remaining sources attempt to make), but that's a whole world of difference from them being scams.
This is completely unsupported. Instead of jumping to conclusion that conventional wisdom is wrong, maybe show the evidence about their supposedly bad diets?

The big assumption in this statement is that they have a poor diet but where is your collaborating proof? The only famous bad diet attributed to them is drinking the occasional soft-drink (Coca-Cola) and that can hardly qualify as a bad diet.

Unless you have first-hand knowledge on their diets or detailed second-hand sources that go beyond the occasional soft-drink. Your claim about debunking conventional wisdom on diets such as not over-eating or avoiding excess sugar is totally bonkers.

I'm pretty sure they have a healthy diet, avoiding junk food and such but I may be wrong (since I don't have first-hand knowledge) and so better to post sources when making such contrarian claims such as dismissing the entire consensus of healthy and unhealthy eating.
I called it good at ascension 2 and uninstalled, doesn’t the novelty and enjoyment wear off long before you’d hit ascension 20? I guess this is maybe why I’ve never really been an expert at anything just pretty good.
Until you tried to copy/paste text, and then you went back to your Nokia. This is a pretty subjective thing you're trying to argue, here.
Probably the only way to fix this is to have google accounts linked to some kind of legal identity so they can avoid frauds repeatedly creating new accounts.
> I think much of conventional wisdom about weight, diet, health is wrong.

If they weren't alive, it would be a few other old people you would use as examples. Even if conventional wisdom on those topics was bang on, you'd still be able to use this reasoning thanks to survivorship bias.
That's sort of the point of the 'roguelite' term, to describe games that are not what people used to call 'roguelikes' (i.e. games pretty similar to actual Rogue). The key element is repetition (a game that has 'runs' as a core part of its gameplay) - there are others but most things with that mechanic are called 'roguelites'.
We aren't? Obviously the primary goal is to influence Ukrainian morale, but an important secondary objective is to convince Westerners to petition their leaders to send Ukraine weapons, money, and materiel. Part of that involves convincing people that Ukraine has a fighting chance.

That is going to be true regardless of storage technology. Concentrating energy into a tiny volume is effectively making a bomb.
The debate isn't all that interesting. The entry paragraphs of the wikipedia article rehash the debate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike

People use the term to mainly mean procedural generation, permadeath, and random upgrades.

But it's like arguing whether something really is "deep house" or not on electronic music forums. At a certain point you have to accept that not everyone's definition is the exact same, appreciate the common themes, and try to enjoy the show anyways.
The original report was issued by the army to Ukrainian civilians as a warning. Who benefits from that? That is pretty clear. No need for playing Sherlock Holmes here.

The newspaper later republished this with attribution. I don’t think there’s need to attributing malice for a country that was invaded. Unless you think that the Ukraine is doing propaganda and the invasion here

> market becoming more efficient

You mean a company becoming more efficient at extracting money from their un-informed customers. A company finding new ways to leverage their market power, position, and information asymmetry.
The main audience for any disinformation is Russia.
Because I'm being charged 5x for the exact same service. Want more money from your wealthy customers? Offer more in return.
1. It isn't obvious to me that dating for older people is to be treated as the same service as dating for younger people. There are profound differences. Dating as a 20 year old female is a completely different situation to dating as a 40 year old of either gender.

2. Even if it is the same service, what is the problem with Tinder charging some people an extra $20? This isn't an essential service in any way.

3. foundation.mozilla.org ? Why is the Mozilla foundation of all groups investing time into this sort of advocacy?
Why is that bad? That's how free markets work.

Note, the post this is a reply to originally said "You mean a company becoming more efficient at extracting money from customers".
If you're referring to your own comment, I absolutely read that as encouraging government backdoors and I absolutely downvoted it on that reason.

We want to do a more complete backfill in the near future.

Don't they reorder transactions even when not overdrafted? I thought my bank did.
They authors acknowledged on the list that they didn’t think of the attack, and have appropriately scaled the parameters.

Cryptography is hard - there have been numerous NTRU optimizations that withstood years of analysis before someone worked how to break them. Not everything is an NSA conspiracy. The dual-EC bullshit was even confusing to other cryptographers at the time, but at that time good faith was still being assumed.

The attack the NSA used on the standardization process can’t be repeated in anyway now, because no protocols are accepted that don’t demonstrate how the various constants are determined. Of course there’s also much less trust in US gov, and more importantly us gov adjacent cryptographers.
eHarmony's algo may be less extreme but they do this too.
You don't understand what people are saying.

The BTC that someone is sending you, isn't being charged back. You can't chargeback BTC. That doesn't make any sense.

> There are plenty of systems that verify things out of the ordinary.

There is no system that checks if the BTC is out of the ordinary, no.

> It's not because you haven't encountered it

Feel free to point to anywhere at all, that is doing a verification on the BTC. Not your credit card. Instead the BTC.

> stolen credit cards can be marked as stolen

A credit card can. But BTC is not a credit card.

> Very few people accurately said he was going to invade

Quite a lot of people said he seemed like he was going to, for quite a few weeks in advance, though they were trying to dissuade him, just counting people in the US government, NATO, etc.

> The president of Ukraine said like two days before hand that it was unlikely.

He said that the West needed to move forward the sanctions threatened for after an invasion to before, and that Russian behavior depended on immediate, united Western action.

The US media played up the part you refer to and downplayed the I assume our friends will heed my clearly-correct and urgent advice context, because they had a narrative they were selling of “Biden Admin sees imminent invasion, but the Admin is paranoid and everyone else, even the people who would be attacked, disagrees”.

Many popular stocks (all stocks without dividends or buybacks) are like a Ponzi scheme in that all of the money used to pay early investors (through sale of the security) comes from later investors (buying into the security).

However, they are different from a Ponzi scheme in that there is a real business behind them, and no deception/fraud.

I can't say he cares about their opinions. If he did, he wouldn't have subjected them to 8 years of war.
You hit the nail on the head. Until this thread, I've never heard complaints from developers I've worked with regarding terminal colors. I agree with the few comments that mention a fixed coloring on white background being miserable is a common-enough edge case that I hadn't considered before now (I've met two developers out of thousands who use light mode instead of dark mode, so my prior expectations were low).
Thanks for bringing back these memories :) Writing BASIC on Cybiko might have been some of the first programming I ever did (predating owning a TI-83 Plus).
Yes, that's correct - it's the price of the data not being synced elsewhere.

That said, I was worried about that too, for myself: I've added in easy file import/export, and the option to sync to Dropbox (I'm using a separate account for TopHat syncing), so that people at least have options for backups.
Some services give discounts to students without removing any features. Is that bad, since all the other customers are getting the same service but have to pay more for it?
Not as close to Moscow, no. They're closer to St. Petersburg, though.

And I'm going to judge Putin by his own words. He says he's threatened by NATO on his borders? Then he shouldn't have 70% of his military on the border of Ukraine. It leaves him wide open to an invasion from NATO members Estonia and Latvia.
The US and NATO allies predicted it days in advance
Tinder doesn't sell dating. I'm not sure exactly what their product is, but its more to do with self-worth, impulse control and sexual gratification - even if some of their matches do produce relationships.

The predatory monetization scheme makes more sense in that context.
Because sex, age, and race are statistically significant factors in how much the insurance companies will pay out for each demographic.

Personalized pricing for a digital service with a more-or-less constant cost-per-user doesn't make sense here (unless you want to maximize profits by unfairly discriminating against certain demographics).
My answer to that question is that the cost of the insurance varies based on demographics (you didn't mention the biggest variables like driving record, vehicle type, loan/lein and collision) while the Tinder service cost is basically the same for all users.

The most sense it makes for Tinder to do is to chage men more than women, which they already did.

Insurance cost is determined based on actuarial tables, whereas Tinder probably doesn't even consider the size of anyones table.
Thanks!

Only speaking for me: because absolute superlatives like “the best” suggest some sort of measurement and methodology which isn’t shown, whereas “optimized for”/“purpose built for” usually has at least some demonstration of the claim attached.
Virtual linear page table. Neat trick. I think ia64 had an option to do that as well. But I've never seen a really good study of them on a decent range of interesting workloads.

Primary TLB misses have no dependent memory accesses (just the PTE) but at a cost of another TLB entry. Could be a win in some cases. Nobody really does it anymore though, it could be there is not much appetite for the risk of trying out different virtual memory schemes these days.
Insurance companies are supposed to increase the price t relative to the risk. So if you’re paying double the premium than someone else for car insurance, it’s because they have some data to suggest that you’re twice as, “risky.”

In the US, at least, you actually need to to get pre-approval for your prices and how you arrive at that price, and that information becomes public record.
Inquiry: My understanding is that free markets work in a setting with informed consumers who can make educated choices between competing services.

Is my understanding incorrect?
I don't know that it's a flamebait topic, I just don't see people using the term in such a strict manner as it was originally defined. But I also don't play games like NetHack.

I know "rougelike" to mean a game with permadeath, some amount of randomization to vary gameplay (typically manifested in levels and items), and various levels you progress through one-by-one. So there isn't a restriction on 2D vs 3D, turn-based vs realtime, etc.

"Rougelite" to me means a rougelike with permanent upgrade mechanics. It's a little nuanced, but the idea is that in a game like Hades (a rougelite) you gain points after dying to upgrade your health, attacks, etc., whereas in a game like Slay the Spire (a roguelike) you just unlock additional cards or characters to choose from (I'm going to ignore the Neow bonus... again, it's subjective).

All said, I still see games on Steam classify themselves incorrectly, so perhaps the distinction I make between "-like" and "-lite" is itself more pedantic than most people care about.

To play the devil's advocate, could you not argue that this is more equitable? People of greater means pay more for the service, and keep the lights on for the less fortunate who still get to enjoy a well-funded product?

The countries I mentioned are NATO countries... If Putin attacks US planes over NATO airspace he'll have a bigger problem...
> and the pro-NATO swing in Swedish public opinion is a hard backfire on Putin’s attempt to capitalize on the invasion with further threats.

I am positive that those threats are also purely for internal consumption. There's no possible way where this invasion would not result in Sweeden joining NATO. (Other than a complete and total Russian defeat, that revealed it to be a paper tiger, and no real threat to anyone. That's not quite the outcome we're seeing, though.)
Tinder sells access to women. It’s the online version of “ladies night”, where women get into the bar for free while men do not.
They did update their pricing as a result of this[0] (article has the same date). Not that I condone their old model, but it's a shame the Mozilla article wasn't updated given their call to action is unnecessary.

[0]: https://www.consumerreports.org/consumer-protection/tinder-i...
I don't really have skin in the game (never used Tinder) but I would guess a combination of transparency and competition is what makes personalized pricing feel "fair".

It's well-known that insurance rates vary a lot from person to person (transparency) _and_ there's multiple insurance companies offering what's effectively the same service (competition). So, if I don't like the price, I can get my car/house/boat insured with someone else who will likely give me a different personalized price.

In this case Tinder seems to be working hard to keep the magnitude of the pricing variance secret and there's no real competition since Tinder's apps are the only way to access the service.
Match group (which owns many of the major dating apps) definitely performs anti-competitive and borderline illegal behavior. But tinder is far from a monopoly. The fact that they own 22 dating app companies is testament to how easy it is to break into that market.
I don’t think dynamic pricing is per se unfair. But I do find it a bit misleading when it’s presented as static pricing, i.e. “The price for Tinder gold is X” as opposed to “The price we will charge you for Tinder gold is X”. Folks might make different decisions if they were aware.
> Even if it is the same service, what is the problem with Tinder charging some people an extra $20? This isn't an essential service in any way.

I am not a lawyer, but I do know age is a protected class in the US. It could be seen as age based discrimination. My understanding is that protected classes are the same criteria we use to, for example make it illegal to have a separate price for different races.

Edit: as the article mentions, they have already been hit with a lawsuit about this issue on these grounds before
https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/tinders-24-million...

Though sex is also a protected class and plenty of establishments have preferential rates for ladies nights, so I am not sure how black and white the law really is here; that particular issue has a pretty back-and-forth history as far as I can tell, and maybe this would similarly have some kind of carve out? Definitely seems like a very large legal risk.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladies%27_night#:~:text=Ladi....
I'm actually surprised that dating apps aren't doing more with monetization opportunities. There are plenty of whales out there who would be happy to deploy their disposable income for mating opportunities. Why not let someone spend $1000 a day to be the top displayed profile in a city for an entire day?
> Seems like you're saying a person who bought a thousand euro phone and couldn't get it repaired under warranty after a month of mild use is "risk-averse" if they dislike that experience.

I'm saying that a person who is risk-averse should probably avoid this. There aren't very many third party repair places yet, so you're completely at the mercy of a single company.

There's also an increased risk if said company is based outside your country (or supra-national political union, should you live in one). It's harder for a country to force a company in another jurisdiction into compliance.

Most people are fine with movie theatres charging children less than they charge adults.

Is that 'unfairly discriminating against a certain demographic'?
you seem to mistake market efficiency for abuse of an asymmetry. If anything, allowing abuse of an asymmetry leads to decrease in efficiency. They don't need better service if they can just extract more from you for the same service.
Thank you very much. Fixed.

And your comment resonates strongly with me. I have experienced exactly the same thing.
In my experience, color is used to convey information for quick scanning, and is solid human-centered design.

Developers are human too, surprisingly, and benefit from good UX!

I'm a bit surprised a seasoned programmer feel these design patterns and tools for humans is childish. Do Visual Studio/C# coders typically see the many different universes of tooling outside of the limited MS Stack as childish or less evolved?

My take is that we design for 24" or 27" display that are only 1080P!

So very low pixel density on overly large physical displays!

There's also the shitty old displays that you get in corporates.
Those people aren't using Tinder.

There are "dating" sites that specialize in connecting wealthy/successful people (mostly older men) with young, beautiful people (mostly women). They do charge quite a bit and make bank.
Yes, there is. Well, Windows 7's version of Aero anyways. It's my favorite UI in terms of graphics.
The part I don't understand though is why this is a problem. If you think the price of the service is too high, move on to a competitor. I did once I saw how much they were going to charge me this year. Hinge/Bumble are a much better ROI at this moment, and Tinder lost a long time paying customer. That's the market at work.

Japan also had a history of homes with permanent passive air circulation; old Japanese buildings are often not much better than sleeping outside. That plus sitting-on-the-floor lends itself to a kotatsu culture. But different cultures work differently, and as a result the same solutions don't fit other places.

There are probably a bunch of different solutions that we just need to make it a little easier for local people (& contractors) to try out.
I've never heard that term before and Google has failed me. Can you explain?
>Is that 'unfairly discriminating against a certain demographic'?

I suspect it gets a free pass because the demographic being discriminated against is better off (eg. adults who tend to have more disposable income). If it were the other way around (eg. software companies charging elderly people more because they don't know any better), there's going to be more backlash.
