> But the OP-1 is literally the only piece of music gear you can bring on an airplane and write a whole song.

This is just false, the Korg Electribe 2/ Sampler, the AKAI MPC 500, the Roland SP404, the Roland MC101, the Novation Circuit and many other devices allow the creation of whole songs and can easily be brought into a plane because they run on internal battery.

> Why has no one else figured that out? With all these groove boxes etc, why has no other music gear taken the step of being portable and all-in-one.

These devices I listed might not do everything the OP-1 does, but the OP-1 doesn't do everything these devices do either. The OP-1 is hardly an all-in-one music device and certainly not the first portable groovebox that runs off battery power.

A Electribe 2/Sampler costs $300, not $2000.

> Show me another way to write a song in an airplane, and you can have my money.

Answer my comment and I'll share with you my email for payment details. Put your money where your mouth is.
One thing I've found to not be fallacious is "if you don't want them to come, they will come". With open source this is so true. My projects that I don't want to actively maintain anymore are always the ones that generate lots of issues and pull requests and stars, versus the ones I actually use on a daily basis that no one but me cares about.
Everybody wants a flying horse.
Super nice! We might integrate something similar in Caido proxy.
Nassim Taleb's academic papers are all about the fun math of risk-management. He basically invented the barbell/butterfly strategy which is effectively a "normal distribution risk profile" to "students t distribution risk profile" arbitrage, where you are making a big bet that the market underestimates both the downside risk and upside rewards of equities in general.

Very bizarre strategy, but really, really interesting.
> your life on the line

Your life at 0.00000x% risk is one thing. I'm fairly relaxed about that.

Your capital at - say - 50% risk of total loss is another. I don't play that game.
Hilarious indeed! The first thing I thought of with this project is actually AirBnB, because the sort/filter/map view is so terrible and missing features. AirBnB captures data on a bunch of stuff, but doesn't make it possible to search for in the UI (ever want a property with a lake view or a sauna? AirBnB knows which ones have those things, but they won't let you look for them!)

AirBnB doesn't have an official API but changes the tags so often that scrapers people put up on Github go out of date quickly. Now I can run this whenever I want to have actual search functionality (instead of the hobbled crap available on the website) and ensure that whatever flavor of API is available on the website that day is easily queryable!
The Louvre charges 17€ per person, and I'm pretty sure they're focused on fine art. How much they're profit focused versus just reinvesting profits is up for debate.

I'd assume they have volume discounts or negotiated rates with Amazon that bring that point forward.

There's an entire sub industry of billing partners who are profitable enough just offering eg 8% off retail prices.

In my experience Amazon can be difficult to negotiate with directly if you're not willing to commit to YoY spend growth. It's easier to deal with billing partners.

Why orgs wouldn't go to Amazon directly via retail is the 3 year commitment that comes with RIs.

20% over the discounts is a bit steep imo but I'm sure there's a market for RIs as a service (particularly if the RI pricing they charge is the 100% upfront covered by their own internal funds)
There is something to said about the risks of being run over especially given the popularity of SUVs which are so high up, but kidnapping is and has always been an incredibly rare crime for at least the past century. People are freaked out these days because of "Amber alerts" but these are nearly always cases of disputed custody between divorced/separated partners taking the kid against the wishes of the other parent, not strangers.
I'm like this with peppers, love them raw when they're nice and crispy but hate them cooked because they become soggy almost. So I guess it's more of a texture than a taste thing.
I always had the idea that before jumping to quantum, it would make sense to use photons for as many components as possible instead of the relatively slower, heavier, and much hotter electron.

I don't know enough about computing hardware to know how feasible each component is to be refactored this way, but it is indeed exciting. You could almost imagine such a "photon computer" as a computer which uses little to no energy (at least for the actual computing part), is extremly lightweight due to lightweight components, and never gets hot!
And if a company folds, it doesn't need any compute at all.
We call that circling the drain rather than orbiting.
Who said that?

No one.

Don't use a strawman argument.

And independent of this issue: there are of course things which are objectively better for that person in Afghanistan and objectively better for everyone.

Your poor Afghanistan person might like to have less heat waves than Bitcoin because he might not have enough money anyway to save it away as Bitcoin.

Normally those countries use dollar or euro anyway. It's much easier for them than being able to remember a Bitcoin wallet

> I've never made the acquaintance of a Ukrainian; I'm sure they're lovely (and familiar). I have worked with Russians; they were also charming (and familiar).

I'd be more than happy to embrace Russians living, abiding and supporting their nation with their labor as sisters and brothers when their country stops assaulting sovereign nations. Unfortunately, there is no one else who can stop the invasion but its own people.
I wonder how the broader categories were selected. I thought it could be the largest/most connected node on each cluster but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I've seen a SaaS app team who couldn't implement OIDC because their login screen is actually some kind of maven plugin (so they don't control it). They can't move to the latest version of that plugin that does supports OIDC, because that needs the latest Maven version. They're using a BPE (process engine), though, that is end-of-life and won't work with the latest Maven.

They're in dependency hell. So we put their whole app behind a proxy that does our SSO.
> Their boat is so similar that its embarrassing for you to fall for the division.

Sticks, stones. I'm rubber, you're glue. Et c.

I'm well aware of the problem of false divisions distracting from the very real and much more important class war, but the level of concern on this one's still kinda silly, considering the broader context. Besides, I'm with the faction that'd rather get this news during paternal leave, than on the first week, or even month, back. Provided any pay for the leave—assuming at least some portion of it was paid—continued, anyway, which I expect it will unless they really want to risk a lawsuit for little benefit.
Economically hard left, socially conservative. There are often no good English terms for political positions that never existed as mainstream options in English-speaking countries.

There are multiple types of development

I LOVE tinkering with silly bots or automations I’ve come up with to solve a problem I’m having for sure! I’d happily chuck away a weekend even if it’s just preliminary work that ends up scrapped. This is fun!

I don’t love everything dev I do for pay, that often comes more under the “well, the bills do need paying..” category

Not because it’s bad or unethical or whatever, don’t get me wrong, it’s just going to be basically the same tasks I did for the last site. Not as fun.
I never flossed because the floss usually got caught and shredded on the edges of amalgam fillings. Interdental picks made of plastic, with ridges for lifting out crud, made life a lot easier.
One avenue of hope for successful AI alignment that I've read somewhere is that we don't need most laypeople to understand the risks of it going wrong, because for once the most powerful people on this planet have incentives that are aligned with ours. (Not like global warming, where you can buy your way out of the mess.)

I really hope someone with very deep pockets will find a way to steer the ship more towards AI safety. It's frustrating to see someone like Elon Musk, who was publicly worried about this very specific issue a few years ago, waste his time and money on buying Twitter.

Edit: I'm aware that there are funds available for AI alignment research, and I'm seriously thinking of switching into this field, mental health be damned. But it would help a lot more if someone could change Eric Schmidt's mind, for example.
Nope, my city is 15k people per square kilometre. In fact if you don't count the periphery and uninhabited (industrial) areas we're at 28k. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona

And I love living here :) I just don't get why it's a bad thing to live in a high-density city. Most dense cities are now reducing car traffic a lot, and they have amazing public transport to make up for it.
No.

Bitcoin would still compete for other things which are much more critical toost people on our planet.

Things like a storage battery. Or melting aluminum or other ors.
I think you may be confusing economics terms with moral and ethical distinctions. I’ll grant that the idea of productive and unproductive labor is an outdated economic concept.

Regardless, academically defining something as more or less productive than something else is not authoritarian. Nor is deciding personally if something is “good” or “bad”.

Now if someone in government decided to create and pass legislation based on their personal academic or philosophical beliefs, and not based on some factual usefulness of the legislation, than I think that would fall under the definition of authoritarian.
Canadian English is closer to American English, but Canadians (at least up until recently) 'get' Britishisms, or at least, the tone if not all of the specific vocabulary, to a great extent.

This is a bit buried at the bottom, but:

> For Linux users, we removed the connection from content processes to the X11 Server, which stops attackers from exploiting the unsecured X11 protocol.

It's hard to overstate how much of a benefit this is in terms of security for those on Linux. Any application with access to the X11 socket effectively has the keys to the kingdom, because it can hijack other applications, including those running at higher privileges, at will. (There have been halfhearted attempts to address this over the years, but nothing that's been effective or widely adopted.) The only real solution for desktop app security on Linux is to forbid direct access to X11 entirely, and so it's a huge deal that Firefox is now able to do this.

In general, doing this sort of thing is a monumental undertaking for large applications like Firefox. Kudos to my former colleagues for pulling it off.

Shipping isn't a binary and it isn't something you can only do once. If the project is still very rough, "shipping" may just mean emailing it to 20 people you think might be interested. Getting reactions from real people is the key thing, not publicizing it far and wide--in many cases it is smart to wait on that until you've gone through a bunch of iterations with a small number of early users.

For example, you could post a link to your language right here. Not that many people will see it, but some of the ones that do may give you useful feedback and start keeping tabs on the project. There isn't much downside.

"Betting 10K on black" was meant to be a metaphor for buying 10K of cryptocurrency. Just like there are professional cryptocurrency traders, there are professional gamblers, but everyone else playing the game is expected to lose money to the sharks.

The example you provide of purchasing a fragile collectible is similar; almost all collectibles (be they fine art, beanie babies, or NFTs) lose value, so purchasing one is very much a bet.

Intentionally. If your users know they're manipulating files with your software and not "songs," "pictures," or "documents," they're less likely to subscribe to your cloud service that copies them between machines and more likely to find another application that can consume those files.

The worst part is such laws as written would be straightforwardly applicable to the police and prosecutors that see fit to harass parents and children, but yet again they're above the law they purport to uphold.
No, it does not. The Countries individual choice has more weight than their number of citizens. It's probably also more work to change laws and regulations, than letting people adapt to the changes.

This is basically the classical problem of democratic systems, when they need to balance the interests of different sized groups. Numbers alone don't make a fair solution. And unless you have the power to force them, you will not convince everyone to follow you just by arguing with numbers anyway.
Maybe the FAA should find a 99.9% empty (100 mi)^2 square in the middle of Nevada or something, and designate it “do whatever you want, can’t hurt anything anyway”.
I always try to imagine a really reasonable reason for why people believe things like that. One that I can imagine is that humans are extremely biased towards seeing inefficiency. We seem to have a much easier time spotting problems than recognizing the product of years of slow labor. It makes sense: if we were able to appreciate the slow accumulation of value, we'd just stare at any living creature all day, totally enthralled. Instead we see suffering, the parts of the world life hasn't conquered totally yet. As an evolved creature that perspective seems very reasonable.

It's why it's much easier to walk around a city and spot an empty balcony, high up in the sunset, than to appreciate the city itself.

"Someone should be enjoying that balcony! Why is the rich owner somewhere else, and there are thousands of us pedestrians wishing we could spend just a moment up there? Inefficiency!"

is a much more viral thought than being completely overwhelmed by the amount of human effort your eyes are looking at. If we could properly understand it we'd all just be weeping with gratitude and humility all the time, and that wouldn't be productive at all! Being biased towards negative emotion should be assumed to be the default. So liberty didn't have to be devalued - it just hasn't been properly valued yet! Much more optimistic :)

Sorry for long reply!

Without relitigating Citizens United, I would think that content moderation is far less worthy of speech protections than the political movie in Citizens United.

Content moderation is basically house cleaning. Companies do it to make their platforms more pleasant for customers, the same reason stores sweep the floors. But that makes it less deserving of speech protections because it’s not expressive. Put differently, when the ACLU publishes something, people attribute that to the ACLU and the ACLU has the right to control its message. But nobody attributes things people post on Twitter to Twitter.
I sincerely appreciate you saying this!
