> Stripe should have waited until then to support ETH, and not support Bitcoin or other chains currently on proof-of-work.

> but the top image above the fold is a screenshot of using Stripe to purchase Bitcoin. ETH and other PoW blockchains are also featured on the page.

I'm not the one telling Stripe and merchants to 'Wait for ETH to migrate to PoS' to support crypto payments, just because PoW blockchains still exist and are burning up the planet. Maybe you can tell the CEO of Stripe, (Patrick Collison [0]) to cut support for all PoW cryptocurrencies on Stripe then?

So you're also telling me there isn't a choice or a way to avoid PoW cryptocurrencies and only accept PoS cryptocurrencies? Are you also going to tell merchants to close their Stripe accounts because Stripe still plans to continue to support Bitcoin? Outside of Stripe, Bitcoin is still there and burning up the planet. It's not the only cryptocurrency that exists is it?

> My core argument is that supporting PoW blockchains does more damage than their carbon recapture efforts reduce.

And? Everyone knows that.

You can do something about that and not accept and cut support for those PoW cryptocurrencies as a merchant and use eco-friendly alternatives? If Bitcoin was the only cryptocurrency that exists today, then there would be NO choice and that would be a problem, but that is not the case today.

The presence of non-proof-of-work cryptocurrencies that exist and are working today like Solana, Algorand and Polkadot tells you that there is choice beyond PoW; even Stripe knows that.

Yes, we had several kits too, including SynthKit (LittleBits with Korg). The magnetic connectors of LittleBits became unreliable after a while, making it frustrating instead of enjoyable. Wish one could fix that properly.
I was once attracted by every new shiny productivity gimmick that would come around the block. I got tired of never using all of their 'features' and the propriety nature of the software since they often folded or were bought out etc.

Now, I am a simple text guy.

todo.txt - both cli and gui synced across computers and phone. Can be viewed anywhere and has a simple grammar. I use it as a personal kanban (i.e. priority of A means doing/do today; B means 'next on deck'; C means 'look at all the stuff you still need to do eventually')

markdown files with a .TODO extension for projects (although you could just have multiple todo.txt files for each project, I dont). And the projects I manage are not complex enough for more complicated solutions (although I do use Pagico for a few larger projects- but have been phasing that out).

I also keep a physical notebook for meetings and for projects. When an actionable item assigned to me comes up, I circle it in the notebook and then transfer it to the one of the files above.

Well, he retired in 1890 and died in 1898. He did push for the formation of the German Reich, that's true. It was the first German nation state, one that was truly formed as more than a alliance of various fiefdoms and kingdoms after WW1 with the Weimar Republic. In a way, it turned to shit when Wilhelm II took over and pushed Bismarck out. And was less Bismarck that created the feeling of a German Nation, he more rode on a wave of nationalism. Nationalism, by the way, was pretty new back then. It was also way less negative then it modern nationalism is today.
Adam Tooze is a history professor at Columbia University so definitely doesn't participate in conspiracy theories. His writing is mostly on current affairs but with history as context.

I don't agree with 100% of what he writes but it is always stimulating and challenging. Very strongly recommended.

> we really know very little about what magical things make it happen in those rare and enchanted brains.

This type of thinking does not help. There is no magic, there is no enchantment, there is only vision - the ability to see, to imagine, what others fail to imagine. Then it is an issue of communication, to tune others so they can imagine the new entity too. I believe this is a communications issue, and those individuals with intellectual gifts have an inner voice that communicates in non-complex basic ideas the gifted see transparently inside complexity.

Case in point: when first learning about normalized numbers, a friend smarter than I in the same class remarked "Oh! they are talking about my 'minis'!" - my friend had figured out, realized the value of normalized numbers when learning basic multiplication in elementary, assumed the concept was obvious and incorporated it everywhere he used multiplication - to the ire of his elementary and high school math teachers. I lost track of him, but I last was aware of him being a cross disciplinary professor at Carnegie Mellon University.

>I don't know where the myth that looking at lead kills you started

For a large subset of western society it's highly fashionable to give a lot of shits about health and safety. I'm not saying this is a bad thing to care about but let's be honest here, when you treat abstract concepts like a minor religious deity there's some baggage that comes with that. Let the feedback loops run their course for a decade or three and combine that with the fact that it's very easy to be scared of things you're not familiar with and you get the current situation. This is why people go crazy over a long forgotten package of asbestos shingles sitting on some shelf in the maintenance department's storeroom or think you're gonna get black lung from using an antique coal stove a couple times a year. Their belief system tells them to go crazy and they don't have the experience to know they don't need to.

Maybe it's also related where you grow up and what's available there in a certain category.

Anecdote: When I visited London for the first time in the 90s, they also had these wrapped sandwiches in the fridge and they were SO MUCH BETTER than anything I had ever gotten in a German supermarket near where I lived. I am not saying we don't have proper food here and I'm not saying they don't have good restaurants there, but this quick "pop into a supermarket and find something you can eat with your hands in 5 minutes".

Someone from America recently told me about.. I think they called it "gas station food", some sort of convenience food they grew up with, on every trip (and liked it). We also used to have this at the bigger gas stations near the Autobahn in the 80s or 90s and it was simply disgusting. Everyone I know below ~45 or 50 would usually be "Thank god, finally a McDonald's or Burger King on my trip and I don't have to eat the worst Currywurst of my life for 9 EUR at a Raststation", if you know what I mean. Perspectives matter. Some things that should be at least neutral could be ok, good, or horrible where you live ;)
Here's my contrarian perspective, I'm 49.

I'm only going to give a small part of my thoughts, there's more, but let's keep a narrow focus for the forum format.

I'm less and less willing to submerge myself deep into fields far removed from daily life. I can still do it, and actually easier than ever before. I just don't want to. I feel it's not because I'm dumber, quite he opposite. It's because I understand and see sooooo much more than twenty years ago. I just don't see the point as much. I had a much more narrow view in my youth, and that allowed me to concentrate on narrow and deep subjects for long periods of time. I don't want to go into the reasons because that would really explode the text volume and mix subjective and objective things that would in turn require quite some effort in untangling. I also care quite a bit less about "progress" because I lost a lot of idealism. In that sense, understanding more of the world might be counterproductive for productivity...

I think I can claim I'm a lot more capable with my brain than two decades ago. I tested it by taking numerous edX and Coursera courses, quite a few of the very challenging, and I was invited to become a C[ommunity]TA several times in courses way outside my own field, including math stuff that I had difficulties with in the past. My job is not standard stuff either.
Well yeah, but just as "British food" means universals like fish & chips or a Sunday roast, with subcategories like Welsh or Scottish or Yorkshire-specific foods, there's a broader "American food" category with other subcategories that don't necessarily fit the bill. Creole food is one of my favourite cuisines and isn't over-sweet, for example. But so much American food just tastes over-sweetened to me when I was just eating random things from the supermarket or takeaways or restaurants on my various trips over. Pizzas, drinks, anything involving bread, breakfasts, that sort of thing. Obviously there are exceptions but it's something that really stood out to me. Even mass-market food with direct equivalences (McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Mountain Dew) that we have over here, were much sweeter in the US.
Good idea come where are more people talkingin a relaxed environment. Earlier was the cigarette break. Now is social distancing.
The problem with this idea is that it assumes we have to make trade offs: case in point, remember pre-smartphone? I had a PDA which didn't have a camera, didn't have wifi - just a hardwired connection.

Now I have sitting next to me a smartphone which has 5 cameras, GPS, wifi, bluetooth, NFC, 128GB of storage and 4G.

Basically on a mass production scale it is always going to be cheaper just to put every feature in one device and build a billion of them.

EDIT: Which is not to say the system doesn't have some possibilities - at the right price point I'd replace every light switch in my house with a plate of this, and have them remotely control relays so I could remap everything. For task-specific physical applications you might want to remap/customize to taste, there's a lot of potential.
The price of labor can increase faster than the price of goods increases. This is usually what people refer to when they talk about the development of a country's economy, or a country getting "richer".
This is the answer, IMO. Trying to rely on the "invisible hand of the market" (aka people's greed) to do anything specific is an exercise in pain, in every possible way.
It's trivial to find online shops selling it, even if the large hobby-electronics suppliers have generally stopped stocking it. RS, TME, eleshop, ... all have it.
There might be a debate about the use of the word "frequency" but I average ~20 hours a week between Spotify and Netflix. My search engine time is far below one hour. Kagi would need to successfully argue that that hour is more "valuable" than the 20. For me, Kagi would need to be 2,000% better than Google to justify the price.

I learned something. Might b usfl in a txt.
Whatever it was — a lie, the truth, or, most likely, their mix­ture — that caused me to make such a decision, I am im­mensely grateful to it for what appears to have been my first free act. It was an instinctive act, a walkout. Reason had very little to do with it. I know that, because I've been walk­ing out ever since, with increasing frequency. And not necessarily on account of boredom or of feeling a trap gaping; I've been walking out of perfect setups no less often than out of dreadful ones. However modest the place you happen to occupy, if it has the slightest mark of decency, you can be sure that someday somebody will walk in and claim it for himself or, what is worse, suggest that you share it. Then you either have to fight for that place or leave it. I happened to prefer the latter. Not at all because I couldn't fight, but rather out of sheer disgust with myself: managing to pick something that attracts others denotes a certain vulgarity in your choice. It doesn't matter at all that you came across the place first. It is even worse to get somewhere first, for those who follow will always have a stronger appetite than your partially satisfied one.

I think what GP is saying is that even with large, multi-million margins in the popular vote, the result can still be "close" because many of those votes count for nothing in the electoral college. Hillary Clinton could have received four million fewer votes in California 2016 and she would still have won that state while losing the electoral college. But if she had merely won an extra ~100,00 votes in a few crucial swing states like Michigan and Pennsylvania, America might have had its first female president.

I haven't checked the numbers but I think GP is arguing that the Biden-Trump result was "closer" in this sense than the Clinton-Trump result was; i.e. the margin in the electoral college and nationwide popular vote may have been wider, but 2020 was still a closer call in the small number of swing states that might have actually changed the overall result.

Your PhD is only useful if you go for a job in your specific sub-field. If you have a PhD in physics it doesn't mean you can code your way out of a hat. In fact scientist types have very poor coding practices on average.

Hmm, it is just a feeling that the western media are just having (dark) kind of fun how far they can manipulate the population in the west, and at the same time incite hatred toward russian civilization as a whole. (Im lumping not only this but nowadays majority of all articles/narratives from CNN, BBC, etc on this conflict)

There is no off button once it has been started, and already top observers are voicing their concern (eg. J. Matlock, late US ambassador to USSR) . This is the first time since pre-war WW2 Germany that there is relentless propaganda and actions taken to humiliate and denigrate entire people based on their nationality and language (including here bans on sci., sports, etc). However, this time it is global, and wielding tools not dreamed off in Germany at that time. Mind you, pre-WW2 Germany was the highest educated and cultured population in Europe and still were cajoled into actions based on hatred of a caliber that scars the nation till today. This conflict will end at some point in diplomacy (as it should never should have started). However, the hatred will not (by either side) and that is just ugly prospects of a future for our children. Stop these gambles and social engineering games (media and commentators), urge for peace, diplomacy, balanced journalism without the primitively abhorrent, retarded, and infantile fallacy of "You are with us or against us".

> because the rest of Google’s results are so unusable

I would suggest the correct framing here is "the rest of the internet is unusable".

How else is Google supposed to guess you want a personal opinion from Reddit other than... typing it in the search query? Google is a search engine, not God.

If you want an answer from a particular source you're going to have to specify that, Google can't know if you want Wikipedia, or Quora, or a news article or a TikTok video or one of the other thousand pages that plenty of users might be interested in.

The internet has exploded in size, so has the diversity of legitimate sources, the search engines are hardly at fault.

No, but from a tactical perspective they are exactly enemy combatants.
Actually Rust lets you write linked lists of any kind very easily with reference counting. It's just that reference counting is no fun in C land. People like running around with loaded guns with disabled safety in their pocket.

Linked lists have a lot of pointers, that means a lot of things can go wrong. It's just that the mental strain of lots of things going wrong is too much for most humans so they just straight up ignore the safety aspects.

When you think about it, the ownership hierarchy of a linked list is quite complex. A lot of rust developers simply solve the problem by having a linked list container that owns all nodes. But in C land, it is pretty normal that the first node owns the second, the second owns the third, the third owns the fourth and so on. The ownership hierarchy is much more complicated, for not much benefit. Once you have a doubly linked list, ownership is no longer trivial because it cannot be expressed as a hierarchy.

Most languages have solved this with a garbage collector so it's really Rust that is the first language that is attempting a solution without a GC. In C land, the danger is part of the job, not something that anyone particularly cares about.
