The last hope of crypto to me are DAOs. I think the utility they might provide might be very good for streamlining governance.

But at the same time, the more I learn about governance and worker democracy (coops and the like) the more I realise the flaws of these kind of DAOs as well.

In reality, a DAO won't do anything that a worker/consumer coop is not capable of doing. But not only that, a DAO is not capable of doing most of the things that a worker/consumer coop can do. To begin with, it's not just about putting your money "somewhere" there needs to be accountability and if there is accountability then you need, well, people to blame and that's not something you can realistically do (right now) with DAOs.

I find that the biggest challenge for DAOs is how they can interact with the real world. What does a DAO add to these biotech funding proposals other than, I guess, the hype. I do think we need to do so much more for decision making in these democratic structures and that technology can definitely help. But when I think about the complexity that the blockchain adds, I sort of struggle to see the benefits.

But at the very least, I think this is a step in "the right direction" for blockchains. And I'm still pretty excited about DAOs, it's very good to see a space opening up that can lead to genuine useful tools. But hey, I am also excited for things like opencollective and other democracy-enabling tools so it's not that hard to please me :)
Is LG the only mainstream TV manufacturer which allows this?
I eventually found samples at the bottom of the page that immediately helped explain what this does. I agree that they should be above the fold.
>You have to look for simple and well-build machines

I ended up buying an entry level 8 kg Miele - just washes with no smart features & extremely well built. FYI: the 7 kg entry level models now come with a plastic wash tub, you need to buy the 8 kg model for the traditional metal wash tub.
To be fair… the top VCs disproportionately have a winner take all outperformance, and it is arguable that those same top 5 institutions are on average “super smart” to maintain said position over the long run
Theft insurance isn't going to get you to your next destination. It's sensible to have, but not an alternative to a couple of good locks.
You sort of can, if you don't mind piping your traffic through wireguard for example:

Do not forget to repeat your intervention after every service at an officially brand recognized service center.
I have a question - do you disable regular OTP 2FA on services you use the Yubikey? I have one too and religiously added it to all kinds of things, but each service allowed me to just skip the yubikey when a regular OTP code was entered, effectively making me not use the yubikey
It would help if this didn't read like two people saying what amounts to "yes!" "no!" at each other. Perhaps if you offered some actual number crunching somewhere or a paper, the invested reader could figure out whether agreeing with you makes sense.
They get to make the rules and people get to express their opinion on these rules.
> we cannot fundamentally eliminate exploitative behavior just yet

Under what conditions will we ever be able to fundamentally eliminate exploitative behavior? This really sounds like an argument against capitalism in general.
Does this only apply to engineers who want to go to China?

What if they want to go to the US? Or Japan?
Keyboard Maestro should do that handily.

With newer Yubikeys you can also use ECC PGP keys:

Nope.
Running microG on CalyxOS
It is called LLVM, GIMPLE or whatever, depending on the middle layer we are talking about in C and C++ compilers.

Likewise there are JIT and AOT compilers for turning those JVM bytecodes or MSIL into machine code as well, including not shipping a VM rather a runtime.

So it does show a lack of understanding on how compilers work.
Wow. Broken image handling in code requiring a hardware component swap. That's all kinds of awful.
When I was working on the grid a few years ago we got all the data on leakage to plow through and it was greater than 50% at that point (UK)!
Kind of reminds me of Unity Game Engine - the free version requires you to have a Unity logo play before starting up the game, but it can be removed in a paid version. As a result, most games that do have the logo, are low quality games made with the free edition, whereas solid quality games remove the logo so you don't know they were made with Unity.

> price in externalities

At what point should governments start pricing in exeternalities? Is the price of air pollution and global warming yet priced into the cost of gasoline?
Good point! Then replace 'Nato' with 'Europe'.

Sadly, Germany, Austria, and Hungary have forgotten just how bad Russians are. I wonder what the oldest generation (especially women) think of the current crisis.
Never heard the term, but I heard "Kieler Bügel" in the past.
Well, not sure whether you'd call it statistics. It's a mathematical fact from probability theory. And it doesn't matter how often you sample: the distributions themselves are the same.

I came across that one in the other direction, when trying to work out how to make weighted rendezvous hashing work. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendezvous_hashing
That's not a secret, that's exactly why they do it.

I feel like I read that in the manual that comes with my dishwasher. It was worded a bit differently, but it essentially said to use auto mode to get cleaner dishes, not eco which saves money but doesn't clean as well.
That's not the math I mean, that's the math of comparing a single railroad with some large airports hubs. Try comparing a sparse Riviera where most activities are remote or local, so at a very short range, typically with cars on 20km radius, and some other small activities are made by STOL witch do not demand much of airport, just a surface, a grass one is not the best but still work, the taxiways just a path to a space where you can park not differently than a car parking lot.

The non-local part can be served by water (when possible) or by rails from a small hub to another depending on the territory.

In such setup you still have commercial transports but people ones are FAR different than now, so the relative infra is far different. Since roads are mostly for short range activities there are no large viaduct, bridges, tunnels because there are no highways, no big cities to serve and so on. There are rail stations, harbors, sure, but FAR little than the actual large ones because there is no need to concentrate the network.

In IT terms: did you remember the evolution from mainframe to clusters? Well does clusters demand more resources than mainframes? Are them concentrated? Networks in general have a common set of properties from roads to LAN/MAN/WAN passing through biological "networks", try the math in such terms.
Yet another way in which justice is not blind when it comes to wealth.
This sounds like a great way of making me trying to plug into it and running it as a wifi-router

Especially given the ridiculous price difference between a corporate and a common data plan.
This looks interesting! Thank you very much for sharing.
> NPP aren't interchangeable with Wind/solar-parks

In the 1950s nuclear was talked about as if it would be "too cheap to meter"[0], yet quickly we ended up "needing" the Price-Anderson Act[1] "to encourage private investment". So many decades later and yet we're still needing to subsidize new nuclear plants[2].

As the name hints, hedge funds were originally meant to "hedge" risk, offering consistent returns regardless of whether the market goes up or down.

Of course, this turned out to be pretty much impossible in practice, and now the name seems to be applied willy-nilly to anybody who invests large amounts of money in ways that are for some reason or other not available to the average punter. And even that distinction seems to be gone now that funds like ARK are available in handy ETF format to anybody with a Robinhood account.
I've actually found it easier to find zigbee devices at reasonable prices lately due to Amazon including ZigBee in their recent hubs.
Musk: "In the past, I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division and hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold."

You should tweet at him that you're doing as you were told.
It's wonderful tool and has simplified workflows for many, just be mindful of its one giant security implication. Should your database credentials ever leak in any way (lost/stolen property, incorrect git commit, screencasting mishap, ...), having an Adminer/phpMyAdmin instance running on an otherwise unrestricted address, you're opening up (quite literally) your server to a world of trouble.

(I speak from experience. I've seen a lot of credentials leak together with source code. This meant I saw "secret" paths where Adminer was hosted on a given site. Having database credentials meant I didn't have to somehow circumvent network security to get to the database itself. [Yes, I disclosed all of this to the server operator and even got a measly $50 gift card out of it :-)])
Surely, but they clearly states that cities pollute far more than large spread areas, i.e. "rivieras". Did you see how unfit are big rails train/stations and big infra in general in a riviera? Being spread means that any "large artery" is not much fit to serve people.
"It's now actually cheaper to build wind/solar + some sort of storage"

looking at last EIA report renewables + storage is still multiples of nuclear
> But also right now the quality of the TTS voices is too low in general imo.

Most youtube shorts (and I'd wager tiktoks, but I have no idea) have this incredibly irritating generic lady voice in the background. It's definitely artificial, every video has the exact same diction and tone. Clearly this is good enough for most people, so it can be done.
Java also had the advantage of being marketed to the large pool of C++ programmers while riding the rising popularity of the web. There was heavy emphasis on applets and networking. Meanwhile, Smalltalk was a bit early to the windowing/pc revolution, OOP and VMs.
The Dollarama a block from my house has only had self-checkout for almost three years now. There is a person there to help if you need it, and the stock people. That's it.

The Metro grocery store in the same mall also is half self-checkout, half human. The IKEA where I shop is also half-human and half-self checkout.

The drug store I go to has 1 human checkout, and a row of self-checkout systems. I don't spend a lot of time at the drug store, but so far, I've only ever seen the elderly prefer the human checkout there.

I don't see this ending soon. I'm getting very acquainted with not having to make small talk with someone who has already chatted about the weather 30 times in the past hour. And it is faster.

I've never had an issue with the scales or the scanners. They have always worked exactly like you'd expect them to. And if they don't, there's always at least one staff member nearby anyway. I've just never needed that service, I guess. Scanning things one at a time doesn't take any more time than pressing the * key and a multiplier. You have to pick everything up to put them into your bag anyway.
There are many studies that show that harsher punishments don't reduce crime, infact they make people act in very extreme ways once they realize they have already been caught. What you want is revenge since you seem to be a student who never copied , unfortunately revenge is no way to run a society(Pro-tip rehabilitation is the way to run society). Personally I think degree hold too much weight on one's future and I have little to no respect for them so cheating in a quiz is no big deal.
Do yo want to download this file? Yes. Open the file? Ok. Then zoom around, more zooming or less depending on the device you are because it's never the right size for your screen. That includes lots of panning around to have the right section on the screen, the smaller the screen the more panning. Page-oriented has value only if you read them on a page - printed or e-ink reader. Otherwise it's just a major hassle which also fills up your downloads folder. Yes, I hate PDFs in 99% of the cases.
I only find videos created with wowto. Would be nice to have a video about wowto itself. I've no idea how it works!

Do I upload a text script and then the app will speak it?
You pull your GPG key from offline backups, reset the applet and load it again.

The same Gpg key can be used for SSH too.

You can generate keys inside Yubikey, but you also have the option of bring your own key, which surely you keep safe offline.
It requires the government to investigate this possibility and make an official recommendation on whether and how to implement it.

Well, this isn't it. Only the corporations receive your data.
And the funny thing is how some people will be insistent they like the beeping! (usually the same ones with the memory span of a goldfish but I digres...)

Of course, the best way is to make it configurable, but surely.

What amazes me about these pictures is how old and simple the electronics are. Even the chips on the newer board are like 20 years old.

Probably shows that you want to make a thingee that blows up stuff, electronics and computing is not what matters the most.
Thanks I didn't know about the 65CE02.
It would have looked like a dream for my younger self.
No one wants this technology.

So why are we getting it anyway? We are getting it because it is essential to the smart cities agenda. It is planned that everything be micromanaged by a technocratic elite.

Think of China's social credit score on steroids. Have you used up your allocation of credits? Your fridge/heating/etc can be switched off.

Have you been a bad citizen, posting dissenting comments online? Then you can't travel, will have your bank account frozen/constrained.

A digital pass and smart technology everywhere are required. Then technocrats can have fine-grained control of everything.

This will be done in the name of the environment - in the name of 'saving the earth' most of us will choose digital enslavement and will even force it on others.

^ That's the plan in a nutshell - which is aimed to be in place for 2030.

"In 2008, the company rolled out its only product – a Lotus Elise knockoff called the Roadster."

Is it still a knockoff if the internals are different?

Is the Impossible Burger a knockoff of the Whopper?
The year between 1st and 2nd COVID waves was a smaller scale 1995-2000 dotcom bubble all over again. Forced work-from-home trend pushed some tech stocks to ridiculous values and created unhealthy, hope-driven optimism in almost anything tech.

After that period there was a flood of headlines using Cathie Wood's name to pump some not-doing-so-well stocks even though the name started being correlated with less than great investment opportunities.

Buying almost every tech dip doesn't make a great investor. But when an index like SP500 suffers due to unfavorable major tech stocks price movements, one cannot expect that thematic ETF like ARKK will do great when the sector isn't doing well.
I love people complaining about stuff that they did not pay for. That thread is full of it. You can just buy a fridge without those options you know? A dumb fridge, dumb whatever - they are out there.
I run the combo Wireguard/Adguard, what is nice is that only the Wireguard clients have the DNS filter and the rest of the network is not affected. Also I have the filter when away from home. And another advantage to setting Adguard as DNS server in the router is that the clients are split in the analytics overview (otherwise it looks like there is only one client, the router and you can't set different filters for different clients).

I do still have issues with keeping Wireguard running when I switch from lan to wan with my phone, so for now I'm setting it as conditional (only Wireguard on when outside of lan).
"It needs calibration"
It's obviously unpopular, but the brutal reality is that the vast majority of candidates don't panic during interviews and can in fact demonstrate their skills when asked. I've done lots of interviewing and you aren't going to convince me or anyone else actually that breakdowns in an interview are completely irrelevant, especially when all you've been asked to do is demonstrate that you're actually qualified. It's also frankly a bit insulting to people who learned to control their emotions and work under pressure to expect that this behaviour be ignored in others who never learned to do it.
Adoptium Marketplace
Yeah. I'm starting to think "open source" appliances would be good thing to start creating.

Of course, it's probably a bunch of effort (eg electrical compliance, RF compliance, etc).

Kind of thinking it might be suitable for crowd sourcing. :)
The article uses fuzzy terms that conflates some essential points, and then uses this confusion to demand regulation. All about this is bad. Yes pegging has some essential limitations, but capital flow is a condition for most financial sytems.

> Investments that are provably problematic should be appropriately regulated and efforts should be made to protect consumers against them.

Not at all. Regulate yourself and don't buy things that exceed your risk threshold, or if you are a child incapable of that, tell your parents to regulate you.
>People just walked to a shop a block away for the things they needed.

Those days are gone because no small "shop a block away" can compete with the behemoths of Amazon, Instacart or major supermarket chains that deliver, or cloud kitchens with DoorDash or UberEats, not unlike how American fast food chains and Starbucks crowded out a lot of former native mom-and-pop cafes and restaurants.

What "existed for millennia" only had to compete with nearest such other small business in each direction. Now, they're competing with the world's supply chain.

Just look at a traffic cam in any "walkable city" where vehicles still run and count the brand names crowding the streets doing trips that just didn't happen even 20 years ago.
The exponential curve is quite flat in the beginning.
Do you have a better explanation? What were the "economic reasons" that caused three nuclear stations to shut down, if it wasn't the availability of cheap renewable electricity?
>I’m fairly sure, at least in Europe, there will be legislation that prevents this without explicit positive content from the consumer. I suspect GDPR already covers it in fact.

Judging by the new CSAM legislation being pushed by EU bureaucrats, your fridge won't report to its maker but to EU commission and maybe to your own government.
https://github.com/FiloSottile/yubikey-agent has worked really well for me in the past.
The core principal of the innovators dilemma is that as you move "up and to the right" prices increase leaving a space for cheaper competitors. I spoke to a person working at a small company doing a fancy piece of kitchen equipment about this once. According to him anyway doing an app was actually easier and cheaper to manufacture since A) it was less moving parts and less complexity and B) finding people who know how to program a really nice app is cheaper and easier than finding people who knew how to design nice physical controls with buttons and knobs.
I usually test my preferences with Stylus, and once I found a combination I'm comfortable with, it gets perpetuated in the userContent.css for the technical reason you mentioned.
The implementation was certainly bad. The tabs in the Touch Bar in Safari are totally broken on both macs I've owned with Touch Bars, across many macOS and Safari versions. If Apple can't make it work at all in Safari then it's pretty hopeless
I use pass also but only with GPG and I feel a bit uncomfortable that I don't know anything about GPG, I don't remember if I set a password there or how to move it to another computer for backup or sync of the stored data in pass.
Raku and Rust: A Romance?
I find it interesting that the CHF peg example is always missing articles like these.
The Swiss Central Bank had decided to defend the peg the CHF at 1.2. This wasn't broken until the Central Bank decided to drop it in 2015. I guess unless it became a big trade it doesn't really matter.

Interactive guide to speculative execution attacks (2020)
I couldn't disagree more, but I think you are describing Gemini[1]

[1]: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/
Imagine it like a pair of shoes. It gets produced, you buy it and its in some kind of finished state afterwards. Like a pair of shoes, it only has a narrow use case that it handles. No updates required.
That's a very good question and in my opinion the biggest flaw with almost all new 2FA/passwordless systems. The "best practice" is to get a second yubikey or store recovery codes on paper, but that requires keeping them close to you because you'll need to update your backup on every new signup.

That makes these systems entirely useless at protecting against house fires, signups while away from home, or simply services that are too lazy to support your backup style (looking at you, AWS).

I think what we need is one master key that can be backed up in a offsite location (e.g. safe deposit box, lawyer, parents, trusted friends), and then have all subsequent secrets generated from it, or encrypted with it and stored somewhere publicly accessible.
As usual. That's why we can't have nice things. "...fossil fuels, and, especially, nuclear power". There is no alternative.
Yes, nuclear power plants are expensive and one of the reason for that is the economy of scale doing its work. By building more of them and overhauling regulatory body their price should decrease substantially.
I think this is going to be very country specific. The UK for example has barely used any coal (relatively) for the main grid with a considerable amount of coal-free days in the past couple of years. (currently coal provides 0.0% of the UK's fossil fuel electricity production and nearly 14% is renewable[0] though it was up to nearly 3% in February[1]) So while there is still a majority of the electricity coming from fossil sources (namely gas) it is on the decline and I'd certainly posit that a somewhat modern power station can generate electricity more efficiently than a car's diesel engine can... (happy to be proven wrong on this as I can't find any direct studies)
