> I’m currently a bit overweight, like maybe 10-15lbs. This is because I have some combination of bandwidth-consuming and focus-consuming things going on that results in me not doing an obviously correct thing: get the fuck back in shape.

Luckily, this doesn't take as much time as it sounds, because exercise (and other time consuming things) aren't helpful for losing weight. Everything else yes, losing weight no.

That's because it's pretty much entirely about your diet, and exercising makes you hungrier, which makes it harder to comply with the diet.
Yes; you are effectively requesting sending from the original 2-of-2 multisig to a new 2-of-2 multisig in the re-key procedure. The user broadcasts the transactions and pays the fees. For all transfers we're recommending using the lowest fee tier possible as given the fact that the notes are intended to be long-lived, rushing to load or re-key them doesn't make a ton of sense.

> This difference is attractive to web developers, but also it generates lots of concerns mainly about performance and complexity. So there have been discussion about these over the years, but it was difficult to get those discussion moving forward.

Right now the estimate is that they can ship in Chrome 105, but this still in advance. I often hear Safari-defenders say their browser is faster, that Chrome is bloated, and I think this is a great case demonstrating an opposite direction, showing a Chrome that is very focused on making sure the web stays healthy & doesn't have pitfalls & doesn't accidentally get slow.

But Chrome is willing to play ball, has acknowledged the lack of this feature hurts, and has come around & tried to meet developer desire, rather than stay fast, & has followed what Safari has pushed for.

Roberto, I had a really frustrating & negative time dealing with your pro-Safari anti-Chrome skepticisms[1] yesterday, which I felt were aimed primarily at snubbing & shorting. I hope if we engage again this time we can have a more earnest & forthright discourse.

No, our dependence on fossil fuels to product energy is harming our planet. I feel like it’s long past time we reinvest in nuclear energy. It’s the one thing we can do to significantly reduce fossil fuel consumption over the next decade.
One of the most disastrous SPACs I have seen so far. Not sure why this Twitter user is looking at a 1 day timescale; since of all time, the stock is 80% down since public listing.

Like I've said before, the employees have still created great shareholder value and have been part of a magnificent pump and dump by SPAC investors who got out before it was listed. [0]

That right there is also what you call an 'exit scam'.

I would change this up: does the industry you work in really require this level of detail? Is this an expectation you’ve set for yourself?

Maybe it does and if so I don't want to discount that, but a lot of me doubts it. I think you want to have an answer to these questions instantly available, but have you stopped to consider whether the people asking the questions expect that? And, if they do expect that, are they being reasonable?

A well-presented "I'll look this up and get back to you" type of answer is often acceptable. To me, the idea of this level of intensity is unsustainable.

I'm going to take a wild guess and assume you're in engineering. If so, I recommend you find some reading on what Sales Engineers do in situations where they're asked curveball questions.

My default thought is that anyone expecting you to know everything instantly is probably being unreasonable.
I know right? I'd really like to confirm that number. I first heard it on a Canadian climatology podcast, those people don't make stuff up right?
If the bullwhip effect obeyed predictable timing, companies would already be compensating for it. If you have a secret formula that can predict when it will hit, don't bother trying to convince the polity to do something about it - become a billionaire by buying ahead of the shortages and fix the problem yourself.
Honestly, I personally hope most countries mark it as gambling. Good for both countries.
And the board often delegates compensation decisions to a third party. Said third party is incentivized to rationalize a higher compensation for the executive class, because that best ensures that they’ll be hired to do so again in the future.
I use Safari as my main browser (by choice) but wish they'd do a bit more about general snappy-ness and better support for sites that use video/microphone (like google meets)

It's sad that a lot of sites decide to only optimize for Chromium/Blink and have horrible performance on anything else, or hold back features altogether.

Orion browser was posted here just recently and looks very neat which feels a bit snappier, though still a bit rough on extensions and doesn't support Safari extensions.
Yeah this smells like the "people don't recycle enough" narrative, pointing the blame away from bloated / vestigial 20th century industry.

Immortal can be played for the mainline story without spending any money at all. So far, at least up to level 40 (about 12 hours of gameplay) I haven't felt the urge to spend money. It's a little like Path of Exile in that you can enjoy the base game and the story for free; it's only if you "get into it" that you start spending money (I never "got into it). I can't help but feel it's fair to give away a really nice game to everyone, supported by the super fans who stick around to dwell in the experience without bound.

""You look pedestrian if you can't see the BIG PICTURE and instead focus on a silly thing like revenue," they told me. According to this founder, the standard retort to questions about profitability for the last decade or so has been: "Amazon wasn't profitable for decades ... yada yada.""

To Chanos, as far as tech stocks have fallen this year, they still have a great distance to travel before their prices accurately reflect their true financial metrics."

> The systems being implemented now will permanently enslave you.

Recognizing that there are significant problems with current financial systems does not automatically imply that Bitcoin in specific is a reasonable or feasible alternative to those systems.

Candy bars are unhealthy for me, and I can recognize that, but that doesn't mean I'm obligated to eat dirt. In other words, it's not enough for Bitcoin proponents to point out that traditional fiat systems have problems, they need to prove that Bitcoin meaningfully solves those problems or improves upon them. All of you've done so far in this thread is argue about how narrowly people should apply the word "manipulation", you haven't demonstrated that banannaise's original comment is wrong in a way that ordinary currency users would care about.

I think most of the real-world evidence we have shows that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are just as manipulable as existing systems regardless of whether or not they have a fixed supply, and in fact are currently somehow impossibly managing to be regularly manipulated to an even higher degree than existing fiat systems.
To be fair, the last sentence in GP comment makes it fairly obvious they're just trying to understand the context in which this applies.

"Lootboxes" means different things to digfer people, depending on their experience with the genre, even if those that have been following along think of it as "pay for random item roll", as I believe is the case here.

I hope deep-fake detection software can compete with deep-fake generation software, I've been tracking this need-gap on my problem validation forum for a while now[1].

That said, There are ethical usages of deep-fake videos as well; In fact I might checkout this very tool to see if I can use it for 'smiling more in the videos', remembering to smile during videos is exhaustive for me. There are other ethical usages like limiting the physical effort needed to produce video content for those with disability(like myself)[2].

"Just use less energy" arguments are insane. Even when we improve the energy efficiency of our processes, that just leads to said process happening more - not an overall reduction in energy use. Just look at historical energy consumption trends to see this.

Anything less than producing more energy more cleanly is missing the point. Long term energy usage trends do not go down.

> At least [I] have an ethos

One I can wear proudly.

It seems like there's some pretty clear & obvious truths to how Apple anti-competitively restrains the web. My words might sound wild to many. But I think it's less clear how many pro-Safari anti-choice advocates sound, how warped & weird that reality is. What even is the ethos?

I cite the idea of the the war-on-general-purpose-computing[2]. This is one of the darkest, most anti-personal worst fates computing could suffer: to have humanity stripped of agency, to leave us only with appliances, fixed functions. Apple's "balance", their "security" feels like a certain relinquishing of exploration, of possibility, of liberty, an enforcement of only their way of doing this. Apple's logos seems in severe clash with humankind's ethos.

At some point if you want to cook you have to get off your ass and do it.

Recipes are just recipes on recipe web sites. NYT Cooking is a nice one. Food prep is just...making the recipes and putting the food in your fridge.

As far as easy meals literally hundreds of services exist for this. I recommend finding one that's local so that you aren't dealing with wasteful packaging and shipping. IMO the ones that fully prepare the meal are honestly better than ones that make you cook it.

Also restaurants exist and a lot of people literally just eat at restaurants/fast casual/fast food for every meal.

Solution was there many decades ago. Yet look at the state of nuclear energy now: plants are being closed instead of new ones being built. This is so annoyingly hypocritical.

I’m fine with micro transactions in games (even “pay to win” although I don’t play those myself). But digital gambling is manipulative and should be regulated just like physical gambling. Props to these countries for stepping up.

Just not true. They are using civilian versions which are missing functionality. That is like saying when someone kills people with a car saying they are using a vehicle of war (tank). A car is missing functionality that a tank has.

> This article compares the wages not of all CEOs, but of 300 of the best paid ones.

That is not true. The report analyzes “publicly held companies with the lowest median worker pay.” They describe the sample probably a dozen or so times in the report.

You are making this out to be a random sample of irrelevant companies. These are publicly traded companies of which there are a few thousand in total. The list includes companies such as Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Lowe’s, Estee Lauder, etc.

The difference is actually much more simple. Rust fills a gap, Haskell does not.

Being purely functional seems like a massive win until you realize most of the real world benefit of that expresses itself as testability/correctness which can be obtained by other means. Lazy evaluation is actually a double edged sword so it's not a clear win either.

Rust on the other hand is adding safety and correctness assurance specifically without or with very little runtime overhead while providing very predictable performance (both in runtime and space).

You can sub Haskell out for Clojure/Scala/OCaml and arguably mixed paradigm languages like Kotlin/Rust/Swift and be fairly happy.

However if the constraints of your problem call for Rust then your only other real options are to sacrifice correctness/data safety and use C/C++ instead.

FWIW I think Haskell is awesome, this is just why I think we don't see it in "the real world' much.
"Third lowest" says a lot about Blizzard's recent releases. They might have made more money in the short term, but their reputation is thrashed.
True but at the same time, Google has all sorts of weird perks that we can't opt out of and essentially pay a tax for.

For example, some parts of campus have swimming pools and endless treadmill pools. I don't swim so I get zero benefit from this. Meanwhile these things definitely cost some amount of money to service and maintain. We can't opt out of that.

We can't out of Google throwing massive holiday parties that I don't think are a lot of fun.

In the end, it's just kind of a package deal. Given that Google comps relatively well, the point is to just be happy with the money you are making and not stress too much about optimizing <$1000 at a time

Agreed. I'm not familiar with PDP or VAX Basic, but I did grow up on GFA Basic with its PROCEDURE and FUNCTION. Both could be called by just using their name without a GOSUB.

Make sure you have a clear story for why you haven’t worked in 2.5 years. It can be a complete lie. Don’t worry about that - it’s really none of their business, but you need to tell them what they want to hear to move forward. For example:

- You were taking care of a sick family member

- You became a stay-at-home parent to support your spouse

- You were full-time contracting

Keep it simple. 99% of the time it’s not an issue if the excuse is reasonable and your delivery is confident. The more personal the issue, the less likely they will probe.
Has Safari pushed for it? Or is it simply that Google is slow to adopt the spec? If Safari is faster with features than Chrome is without, maybe it’s Chrome that’s the problem, and we shouldn’t let it hold back the web.
High risk compared to what? The alternative is absolutely no privacy (status quo) or no/limited functionality (not very useful). Seems like strictly better than having no privacy.
