> I don't want to spoil the ending, but I will say the answer isn't overly exciting

Why? And that's right, it is literally boring. This is a waste of almost 30 minutes to reveal what they could have in less than a minute. This is a story about the content creators, and how cool they are, not about what they claim it is about. It was CREPS, between 1953 and 1958, aka the Sahara Petroleum Research and Exploitation Company, a joint venture between the French government and Royal-Dutch Shell. There. I saved some a half an hour of learning how cool these content creators are and having your eardrums smacked by poorly designed and poorly engineered audio of a narrator that is painful to listen to (if you have an eq, you can somewhat mitigate their audio tragedy by cutting 1K and 4K back to natural levels, but there is nothing we can do about their Loudness Wars compression).
Doesn't help in this case, since it's server side code.
The FAA allowed Boeing to self certify, so they have blame in that. Strict regulations are not necessarily a bad thing if they are actually needed, but regulations for regulation's sake to keep the agency with a purpose is definitely bad. At some point the bueracracy takes over, and it's hard to avoid the useless regulations that make it look like things are being done but ignore the true things needing regulation.

Meeting people is a big part of it. Even if you're not very social, I found attending conferences to be great for understanding what people are doing now, getting a feel for the personalities in my field, and making connections and just learning.

When I used to go to more academic conferences, I mostly went to smaller tight-knit ones where most people knew each other. I found that much more interesting than the big ones with thousands of people which definitely feel more anonymous and take way more work to meet people in, and end up being closer to what you'd get from attending something online.

Tldr, try going to a ~100 person niche conference in your specific field, or at least one that has tracks that emulate that
Judging by the report, Coinbase is going after more institutional investors with 17% SME, given they are $235/209 B of trading volume. I don't blame them - retail is even more finicky, and I won't be surprised when FTX and Crypto.com have been supplanted with something else in 10 years. Though I would just avoid this industry all together!
Fear and Greed Index – Investor Sentiment
I've been using apple maps for probably 3 years now and for driving it's great. Both for local navigation and driving from the east coast to ~michigan/illinois. My family still swears by Waze, though.

The only thing I hate is it uses yelp for the reviews of places. Want to read more reviews or view pictures of a new place? Too bad, you need to install the yelp app... So I'll use google to look up places and then put the address into apple maps.
My 90+ year old father-in-law still drives and does shortcuts in both urban and suburban environments that none of the maps programs have caught. None of his driving was remotely 'dangerous' either.

Not everyone ages at the same rate or in the same way. If only I could be that active at 90. First, have to make it to 90.
If the Murdoch family buys FB and bans anyone who posts about a BLM protest.. I would happily make a social media startup. We both know that will never happen.

But this is not a question of politics. It is a question of integrity of which Trump has none.
Disagree. This is like complaining rent in the big city is $4k/mo and impossible. No, spend a week on craigslist and get a great place with a roommate for $1.8k/mo.

The same is true for a medium sized business. Nothing is stopping you from doing it, its just stopping you from doing it from a hammock in the Caribbean.
Netflix is charging $10 a month at the moment. If it can't generate $10 of revenue per user by showing adverts then what do you expect them to do?
GitHub’s 2FA Move Was Long Overdue
To be honest I was surprised that it lived on this long, and couldn't even understand why Apple released the 7th generation. It doesn't have a non-niche use, at least not in any profitable form worth supporting a device category.

It was great for its time and I've owned and loved my iPod touches, but we can't expect a for-profit company to keep selling a device with no future and only a niche market, eventhough the device was iconic at some point in the past.

Good move, and a big cherish to the iPod for changing the way we listen to music back then.
Covid-19 Cases Rise in Parts of U.S. with High Vaccination Rates

House Panel to Hold Public Hearing on UFOs
The transparent proxy wouldn't care whether images are being dynamically loaded or not; it'll flip any image it sees (as long as it's a GIF or JPEG, in this example).

But HTTPS breaks it completely; that's kind of the point (can't MITM a TLS connection on a computer you don't control without certificate errors popping up).
Glad to help, in however small a way. Perhaps a poll, survey, or even a DX study to gather feedback more broadly might be appropriate at this stage?
They gave copies to the 650 people who advanced far enough in IMO and EGMO (International Math Olympiad / European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad) to be considered "medalists". It's very unlikely that those people don't have internet access.
Probably a hundred or more, and double that if you include anything with a microcontroller in it like car, music keyboard, monitors, music effects processors. 10's of old laptops dedicated to specific tasks (weather station, media players, secure service access, different OS's) or as backup for when one fails. Five or so primary computers used for everyday stuff. Security systems. Raspberry Pi's dedicated to specific tasks or for general exploration. Macbooks for music/audio systems. An old SGI Iris workstation (booted last time I tried it 10 years ago). 10 tablets of which I use maybe 3 regularly. 20 smartphones, dedicated to specific tasks (media players, sensing systems, emergency calls, life management). Some hardware video editing systems with powerful processors in them. Digital audio and video recorders that are basically custom computer systems. A rented virtual server. A Synology NAS. 10 Android TV boxes (mostly junk but they run). Some Amiga's. Because a lot of these devices are old I'll often have a few backups to swap in to keep things running. Also because most everything is old it is cheap which is why I can afford so many.

What happened to the original monolith from 2001?
I think we really could be witnessing the start of the end of massive compensation packages for many engineers. Turns out that easy money propped up the valuations of companies with marginal business models, and there just aren't that many companies out there like MAGMA that make money hand over fist and can keep growing YOY like crazy. MAGMA comp will stay high for the forseeable future, but I think a lot of people are going to take a big paycut here in the next year or two.
This is already solved.

You’re saying that the existence of a book being freely available online means that it’s always pointless to give out physical copies? Do you make the same criticism of eg Dolly Parton’s program to give books to families for free, in cases where the copyright on the book has expired?
Wow, it's good to know, thanks for the clarification!
Im just waiting for the moment it becomes clear this is another Musk pump and dump.
Can you provide any credible sources for this theory?
how many 13 year girls are currently serving adult sentences in penitentiaries?
Ah, Eurovision! Happy memories of Katie Boyle (beautiful, impressive range of languages) and Terry Wogan (funny, Irish wit and sarcasm). And don't forget it gave us Abba!

Can't get anywhere with this link tho.
> The comment above you stated "There's no whitelist AFAIK".

FYI I was talking about WebAuthn user verification there; not Safari's requirement for a DOM user gesture. I have no idea how Safari implements their user gesture requirement or if there's a whitelist involved anywhere in that process.
The wealthy and the government are generally rather intertwined wouldn't you agree? It's not a matter of budget but of sharing a scarce resource, something the wealthy and powerful, (and so by extension the government) are historically not so inclined to do. Taxation is a means of systematising the sharing of resources.
the tendency of artists “becoming sex symbols, actors, and basically lifestyle influencers while singing generically machine-crafted music” if not basically being the case for the entire history of recorded music, at least predates streaming by many decades. it’s also not exclusive to music and has a long history in basically every artistic industry.
How about, you can have microservices back when the engineers/architects care in the slightest about defining domains between services and having a direction or overall idea for how they communicate.

It's easy to get to a point where you have a big ball of mud of 100 micro-services where each new features touches 20 of them, and just hack in whatever new APIs everywhere that's needed to push a new feature out (but probably buggy due to async state and race conditions that noone was trained enough to figure out up front).

All that is pretty equivalent to what you talk about with monoliths.
>There is a part of me that wants to abandon streaming services and just buy a couple of albums per month based on what I think might be cool.

This is what I do! And for similar reasons. It's actually really great because a) you can pick up used CDs and vinyl for cheap, b) you get to listen to the whole album, c) there are no screens involved. I didn't realize how oppressive screen-based music selection has become until I ditched it. I love my setup (and you can pick up great used audio equipment for cheap now, too.) Just do it - and if you don't like it you can get rid of it all on ebay.

I only ever owned one MP3 player and it was a cheap little thing that ran on a single AAA battery. Plug it into my computer, drag and drop a few dozen albums worth of music, grab some extra batteries and I could listen to music indefinitely when I travelled. Never saw any need for something more than this, and I still don't!
This may be a weird ask but it would be great if you could provide more
emphasis to source code links for standard library results. E.g. searching
for heapq would also show a link to https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Lib/heapq.py

I know these links are already at the very top of most pages in the python
documentation but they are easily missed and it would be good for search tools
to provide a nudge to the actual source.

I'm somewhat ambivalent about zoos, but they are important for education and as centers for wildlife conservation efforts.
Remember what.cd?
Yes. Having applications running and immediately accessible without windows present is more than handy, especially as those applications (generally) take up essentially no active memory & cpu.
Ah, but is it the most effective book? In the absence of very real countervailing evidence, choosing that book would be a pretty clear-cut case of systematic bias.
These are being promulgated by executive actions--the Department of Education issuing guidance using its authority over federal educational funding as the hook for enforcement. Thus they have been flipping back-and-forth between administrations. The Obama-era guidance was significantly rolled back by Trump, to include things like not allowing evidence to be admitted from a witness not subject to cross examination. Biden then undid certain parts of the Trump rule, specifically getting rid of the cross-examination requirement: https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2022/03/activists-e...
I'm really happy with hasura.

However, while I've played around with most of the others you mention, I haven't build anything serious with them. But hasura has a decent authentication story and reactive graphql queries are just a really nice dev experience
Isn't that kind of antifactory? Still, that also opens up the question of timely updates to solve possible security vulnerabilities.
This is an epic. I can't believe I've never even heard of it before.
Did you read the parent post you just replied to? I guess not. It's ok, I'll copypaste it for you:

> I'm just pointing out that you wrote a very long answer to a question and your answer didn't even try to relate to the question that was asked.

This is the post that you're replying to. I find it ironic that you replied to this post with a run-of-the-mill crypto-is-bad rant that still doesn't answer the question that was asked.

They will only support poor and marginalized that say the things the ACLU likes and don't say things the ACLU doesn't like.
In Blake's "Laocoön":

The Eternal Body of Man is the Imagination, that is,/ God himself/ The Divine Body/ } Jesus: we are his Members./ It manifests itself in his Works of Art (In Eternity All is Vision).

Blake took the idea of man made in God's image a lot more seriously--literally--than those of his time, which influenced a lot of his ideas about church politics and sexuality.

For example, by questioning why church could not be held inside an alehouse, where people were warm and in comfort, and by questioning why the church cast sexuality primarily as a sin.

Blake repeats in his poetry that Jesus was the person sent to forgive sin, which would allow humans to once again see the vision of an integrated human made in God's image, which was lost in the Fall.

Blake says Jesus wasn't sent to enforce a moral law that the church promulgated at the time, which only served to keep the human psyche in the divided, fallen, state.

This is an idea that is explored again in Philip Pullman's Dark Materials books, where sexuality and maturity is "Dust", which the church in the book sees as the original sin.

Other figures, such as the Spectres, which I read as Blake's experience of depression, which he often lapsed into, especially in his one and only stint outside London, to Felpham, are also transplanted into Pullman's work.

Pullman's work is a really rich development of Blake's ideas, and I think Blake would have been proud.
Whether you think they are still fighting for civil liberties depends on what you think civil liberties are.

Recently they have been supporting the “civil liberty” of men such as Lia Thomas to compete on women’s sports teams. I don’t see that as a defense of anyone’s liberties, but rather as an attack against the liberties of female athletes, and of women in general. They are on the attack against women’s sex-based rights.

I’ve stopped supporting them.

I used to support them even though I was disappointed in their 2nd amendment stances, because their work on 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment issues was so valuable. But now they’ve turned into a misogynist organization, actively campaigning against civil liberties.
Given the cash burn of the classic 2021 SPAC, if they're not riddled with debt yet they may well be as soon as the stock market ATM stops spitting money (which might be about now).

Which reminds me OP omitted dilution/share issuance as a mechanism for banker fees.
A few of them mention both, but generally Telegram has more users, and gets more mentions accordingly.
With Jellyfin you might end up with the same problem if your catalogue is too large - it's then indistinguishable from other streaming services.
I realized that the ACLU had lost its way many years ago, and went looking for alternatives. The most direct alternative I could find at the time was the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, which has since merged with another group to become Defending Rights and Dissent.

https://www.rightsanddissent.org/about/

While their tight focus on individual rights might appeal to those who identify as libertarians, I personally favor organizations that acknowledge the existence of threats to liberty other than government, and that consequently balance their concern for individual/corporate rights with concern for things like justice and equality. In that context, I find the Center for Constitutional Rights much more amenable and perhaps others will too.

*protect, not promote.

There is a huge difference between allowing and endorsing, which is getting conflated in modern thought and discourse.
Who will do that independent verification? And why should they bother? What's the point of doing science? Why does it matter if it's done well?

Those are all human concerns, that you rely upon, to ensure the science is done well.

> If multiple independent scientists perform the same experiment and achieve the same results, I’m trusting in the science — the methodology — not the scientists.

You are absolutely 100% not trusting in the science. You are trusting that the scientists are ensuring they're not all making the same systemic error. They could all be ordering their instruments from the same faulty supplier. You rely on scientists to look for those unknown unknowns.

Thank goodness a scientist didn't throw away that petri dish, when he realize that it had mold on it. Thank goodness a scientist was curious enough to realize he had made an enormous discovery. That's how we got penicillin.

You rely on the curiosity of scientists to investigate not just new questions, but to revisit old answers.

You rely on scientists to not laugh when they first hear of germ theory, but unfortunately the scientists we had in the real world did laugh about it, and did persecute and destroy proponents of it.

You rely on human scientists to act ethically.

> particularly the fact that it exists as a continual and open process.

I believe YOU are the one who misunderstands that. It's implemented by humans. You want to pretend that's not true.

> The scientific process is incompatible with your faith-based system of belief, which admits the enforcement of orthodoxy as a necessity, despite that doing so eliminates falsifiability, and is thus inherently anti-scientific.

You fundamentally do not understand my beliefs well enough to summarize them, and that summary is completely inaccurate.

If you were honest, you would ask me questions, or somehow try harder to understand my beliefs, when I tell you explicitly that you are misstating them. You have absolutely not done that. And that's incredibly disappointing. You have closed your mind to the possibility you are wrong about my beliefs. From what I've seen, you would make a terrible scientist.

Why are there ethics boards to approve various experiments?

I mean, do you even acknowledge that those IRBs exist? What role do they play? How do you know they're doing a good job? Do you admit they have a huge impact on what gets explored and discovered?

Science you're so proud of science, can you tell me if there was an ethical problem with the Tuskegee Syphilis Study? Should the scientists have known better than to research in that way? Why? Why should they have known better? Where in the scientific method is encoded the ethics of scientific research? Where in the scientific method is encoded the Hippocratic Oath? They're orthogonal. And we rely on scientists to make the right decisions.
EphPod was way better than iTunes. It was free, straightforward music management for the iPod, and in fact the only way for Windows users to use an iPod. To this day, iTunes (or "Music") still can't automatically keep your library in sync with the files on your computer, but EphPod automatically operated that way.

I elaborated on other iTunes problems below, many of which it suffered from on day one. People just forget, or become used to degraded standards and functionality over time.

As much as I hated (and still hate) iTunes, it was better than WinAmp. I'll give you that.

And yes, the decade of forcing people to manage all the data and applications on a handheld Unix computer with a shoddy JUKEBOX app was an embarrassment to Apple and insulting to its customers.
If the ACLU stated that the 1st Amendment was written with racist intent, would you interpret this as the ACLU supporting it?
Transaction expense eats 24% of their revenue ($278M). Sales and marketing eats 17% ($200M). Technology and development eats $571M. General and Administrative eats $414M. Other expenses eats $259M. In total, $1.721B in operating expenses. They have nearly 5,000 employees.

As axg11 noted, they're building lots of new things. As I noted in another comment, they probably need to step up their marketing given how Crypto.com and FTX are saturating sports with their names.

If you're trying to grow a new platform with ever-changing things customers want while managing over $20B and have 9.2M monthly transacting users, it's going to cost a bunch. Could they be more efficient? Maybe. However, being more efficient might mean missing out on the Next Big Thing. One could argue an "efficient" company wouldn't have created Coinbase in the first place - a company catering to some upstart electronic token nonsense when they could be putting their energy into something people want. And in 2014/2015 it looks like Bitcoin didn't do anything amazing (Coinbase was founded in 2012, but my BTC-USD chart only goes back to 2014). It was late-2017 when we saw the spike to $19,000 and 2020 was really the first year it stayed over $10k most of the time.

So they need to spend a decent amount on R&D to basically make sure what they're doing is still the next big thing. If you just wanted to create a company making money, you could start a bank. Coinbase is trying to be a future of finance and investing - and no matter how much you believe in crypto, you don't know exactly what that future is. Coinbase needs to make sure they have a finger in every little pie and that costs money.
It's cash cash, but $10bn is in custodial accounts for customers and $6.1bn is of it is actually "usable" for cash expenses.

The $6.1bn figure comes after a decline of $762m of their own "usable cash cash" this quarter.

Obviously not desirable, but who knows how crypto will play out.
You seem very confused about what the scientific method is, and how it eliminates the need to trust scientists instead of science.

I doubt we’ll ever establish shared meaning between us, much less agreement. It’s like trying to argue with any other deeply religious individual — we disagree too much on the fundamental nature of truth, and trying to reconcile that epistemological disagreement is a waste of everyone’s time.

You can prosthelytize whatever faith-based belief system you want — just don't call it science. Attempts to enforce orthodoxy in the name of science is eliminating falsifiability, and is inherently anti-science.

I’ve suggested “sciencism” as a label for your belief system. You’re welcome to propose an alternative, but it’s clearly not science.
Personally I think that has more to do with what movie offerings there are today vs 20 years ago. I could absolutely care less about the latest comic book movie but that seems to be where movie studios have put all their effort.

On the other hand, TV series have never been better - we seem to be in some kind of golden age where you can find tons of high quality well acted series on every streaming service. There was a bit of a lull (for me) during Covid, but my backlog is completely full through the next year.
