> I clicked expecting to see some science-based research about what results in good friendships.

This article is one in a series. See perhaps "The Friendship Researchers Who Are Also Friends":

> This week she talks with two friends who also happen to study friendship. They met at a conference back when very few relationship scholars were focusing on the topic, and became both friends and professional collaborators. They talk about what they’ve learned from their research and how they’ve applied those lessons in their own friendship.

Speculative exec ruins everything again.

I get the performance gainz, but when are we going to get past the formal fallacy that executing any instruction we don't need to based on actual flow is de facto a complete violation of user expectations and therefore completely unsafe to do.

Like every lay person I explain speculative execution seems to be able to recognize that a pipeline stall to figure out what a value actually is just the way to go.

Hell, my personal sanity check with computing is that there must exist a humans only implementation that correlates to a good computing primitive.

Nowhere on Earth, will you find an organization that will execute both sides of a conditional process requiring hunans to do the work just to throw away the result. Not taken.

Oh wait... Finance does it with Hedges...

Frigging finance. Ruins everything for everyone.
Crypto’s problem is that it has the most actual utility when it goes sideways. Being a decentralizing cash equivalent has some value.

But, it can’t be stable. If it goes sideways long enough to demonstrate utility as a currency, then more people would want it, which would drive up the price and hurt that underlying value.

Even so, Russia is only supplying ~10% of Europe’s total natural gas consumption.
The systems that execute the code for and track the values of stablecoins are themselves networks that only work because of consensus systems designed around a cryptocurrency incentive. So if you want to be able to send some large amount of USDC you need some small amount of ETH or MATIC or AVAX or whatever to pay for the usage of the shared ledger, and that's where these cryptocurrencies then get their underlying value.
What does "withdraw $BTC on Ethereum" mean? Are they tokens that they claim to have a 1-to-1 peg with $BTC?
In theory you could be paid by customers for helpful reviews. Consumer Reports, for example.

I think this is the Angie's List model but I don't know how that is working.

I am concerned about the EBSCO model where business are ranked and then pay to be advertised as top offerings. It seems like it might not necessarily choose good businesses. Often their research is based on some kind of survey.

User-generated content for free leads to the Yelp/RipOffReport (and TrustPilot?) model.
Agreed. Publishers have been awful at collectively making it easy for people to throw tiny sums of money at them, for trivialities.

I feel like a hosted Redis instance doesn't offer much unless you're using Redis for persistent data, which I suspect is a small proportion of the total number of Redis installs. Running Redis on a regular compute instance is easy!
Binance and Celsius new strategy: Forced HODL
Creating a valuable fiat currency is easy. If you pay your kids in your own currency for chores, it will initially be worthless. If you however declare that hours spent on YouTube must be paid for in chore dollars, you'll suddenly see that it has some value. Note that it would not be so easy for your kids to create a valuable currency.
A couple paragraphs was all that I could bear.

Horrifying.
Don't "convince the suburbanite", just get petrol taxes to the same point as in Europe, so that the $10/gl price sends a signal to the soccer mums in their Canyonero when they fill up at the pump after ferrying their kids around - and on the margin it will have an effect. (And it is good for the climate too.)

I'm curious how Mozilla feels "Thunderbird on Android" aligns with their mission statement. Thunderbird was practically the de facto alternative to Outlook back when desktop clients were the standard for email. But there have been plenty of quality email clients on Android for a long time. Does buying a popular competitor and re-branding it as Thunderbird really help to "ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all"? I'm worried this will just end up being another ongoing expense for Mozilla.
> Electric cars can run on average 100 km/h over 10 hours

That's below highway speed here, and everything is at least twice the distance in America than you think it is. The nearest major city from me is 240km away, the second is 435km and it gets -34C here (the average in winter being about -10C).

It just isn't feasible if you aren't in a dense metro area and only ever use your vehicle to commute (which is by far not the case).
> I'd doubt BTC will go to zero, but I wouldn't be surprised if the entire covid rally gets wiped out and we see BTC 6k again.

I agree. We invest a small amount of money into $BTC and I feel pretty neutral on the topic and my comments come from an intention of neutral observation.

I think $BTC is in a bad spot that's about to get worse in the short-term. It's getting hit from both ends: expensive energy, and high interest rates. Many believe it's supposed to be a hedge, and I think it still is, but it's not a hedge against a high interest rate environment in which the dollar and fiat currency (primary reserve currencies: USD, EUR, YEN, GPB, etc.) are still normalized and valued. It's more of a hedge against low interest rates and the central banks printing money in that environment IMO.

Long-term I'm bullish because it's a deflationary asset. Eventually we'll get to the point where, similar to maybe Japan or South Korea a pack of gum costs 1000 units of fiat, which will necessitate $BTC being "worth" hundreds of thousands of dollars (or it's worthless, I don't think there is a middle ground here). Unless something crazy happens, deflationary environments in fiat currency will always be avoided, and if you target 2% inflation every year it's all but guaranteed that $BTC will simply be "worth" a lot of dollars (or $0).

So I wouldn't be surprised to see $BTC hit $6,000 or even less. I would be surprised if within, say, 15 years it's worth that amount and not $0 or $1,000,000 (or something).

I use it as an alternative store of value. That has gone badly for me in the past month. But its supply economics make me still want it.
While I somewhat agree, there's likely some irony in the upvotes since this is a mantra more often said than done. How many here self custody their gold?

The problem is exactly the same as in crypto, where they also say "not your keys, not your coins": You can self custody and it's 100% yours, until someone takes it off you and then it isn't. Trusting third parties is a risk, but so is taking care of your own security. In reality it depends a lot on the situation, you have to weigh the pros and cons of different strategies. As always, it's a lot more important that people are informed, not that everyone follow the same advice. A computer illiterate person who has no idea what a private key is better just leave their coins on a reputable exchange (obviously not Binance). And if I had no place to safely store my gold, I'd not take the risk of self custody with any substantial amounts.
> Then there is porn which specifically focuses on vulnerability, humiliation, power balances, trust, you name it.

I don’t want to rape anyone but I have a rape kink, my girlfriend also has a rape kink- but anything that remotely resembles realistic depictions of rape (rape depicted in movies) is deeply unsettling still.

I think a lot of people don’t understand this, kinks of a thing aren’t direct desires to do the thing, and I can understand why- it’s confusing for me too.

And some even gave them money... I think it is reasonable to jail anyone who funded anyone involved here either death penalty or rest of their lives in such facility like one in question here. They can't be redeemed as human beings.
If someone reuploads a video they're breaking copyright law at the very least. I know it's a common occurrence in the porn industry, but taking something you don't have the rights to and uploading it to the internet is still illegal.

You can't download Star Wars and put it on YouTube. Uploading someone else's porn is not only similar, it's also much more personal.

I'd say that unless they know the exact circumstances and all the details about the production process, reuploading pornographic content of real people should be considered nonconsensual until consent can be proven. It's not hard to accidentally reupload content that was originally leaked by an abusive ex and you have no business choosing where to upload the content anyway.

I think it's important for people in the porn industry to be able to remove as much of their released material as they want at a later date. Reproductive rights and the freedom of choice over one's body is under pressure in more and more countries in the world and an old leaked porn shoot can leave some nasty damage.
> Thunderbird is one of the few in a dying category

I reluctantly agree. I think that the continuing relevance of email is largely a consequence of open standards and interoperability - things that Google et al are getting less and less keen on. As well as Thunderbird allowing me to have a copy of my emails on my desktop/laptop, rather than in someone's cloud, I think its good to have an open-standard success story to point to.

But in reality I use the Fastmail web client on desktop and Fastmail's app on my Android devices. Despite using Thunderbird for over a decade, nowadays I really only use it to sync a local email archive. I wish it were otherwise.
Fairemail is worth every penny I've donated to the project and more.
When the movement toward status pages started, it was great. Early adopters were eager to communicate their status, to the extent they technically could.

Nowadays it feels like most status pages show green even when things are decidedly not green.

Conspiracy theorists abound, but in most cases it's probably just ordinary human tendency to not broadcast one's foul-ups eagerly and broadly at the first opportunity.
Yes, sometimes bad people do good things, for the wrong reasons.

There are countless stories of men offering to house female Ukrainian refugees, with the explicit goal of getting in their pants. Would you ask me to "support" those men, too?

Further, we can acknowledge Exodus Cry's background and intentions, without letting it detract from the significance of the issues involving PornHub.
Unfortunately there is no decentralized exchange for BTC. There is no smart contracts on BTC so you have to somehow bridge it to something like Ethereum before you can swap it. And to bridge it you have to rely on some centralized party, such as WBTC. (I know renBTC but it's unclear who their validators are so I'd just assume it's centralized)
We are waiting for the contract addendum with final pricing. It may still make financial sense to go through with everything, once we have all that. It’s just annoying that in this situation, our house costs are fixed against a particular point in time, but interest rates continue to rise.
Let's hope K9-Mail gets a more attractive UI. It always felt more clunky than it needed to be.
I would normally be wary of such a merger/acquisition, but as a long time user of thunderbird on the desktop this is actually exciting.

At least I don't predict K-9 getting worse and has the distinct possibility of getting better and getting more features.
twitter is text only afaik, so it can't be said that they host child porn.
If you've sorted that much out, you could probably make the PR, right?

I agree that's a horrible law. A few states do have similar laws. Illinois e.g. is 14 if I recall correctly.

Note, a state that does NOT have such a law is not necessarily a better one - It leaves the decision up to either various criteria (which may be well or poorly defined, subjective or objective), or opinion/assessment of jury/judge/child protection services. And in a state that does have a law with age such as 8 or 9, does not mean you are absolved of responsibility for leaving a 12 year old home. Ultimately, this is a tricky subject that's hard to objectively measure and decide.

What it comes down to is that times/culture have changed. I walked to school on a non-trivial path when I was 6 years old in grade 1; it was about a kilometer, crossed couple of busy intersections and a bridge. So did all of my classmates. But that was in Bosnia in the 80's. Today, in Canada, a 6 year old walking to school unsupervised for 15-20 minutes, in summer and winter? Largely a complete no-go. Multiple neighbours and observers would report it to police - and this is not an opinion, this is local newspapers articles.
(You know how that skinny dipping quote goes?) The tide is going out on crypto.
I liquidated my Bittrex account today and did an ACH transfer back to my bank account.

The risk of these smaller exchanges is too high for me now.
Pornhub already requires proof of ID and/or residence, as well as a facial scan. Clearly this hadn't solved the issue.

With jQuery, your rendering is 100% dynamic, meaning, you load your JS on the client/browser and when that code executes, it fetches some data and "injects" it into the DOM (technically a form of hydration).

Hydration in context here means taking some HTML that was server-side rendered with JavaScript and then, in the browser, handing off subsequent rendering (in response to user interaction) to JavaScript running on the client.

Think of it like those little dinosaur sponge toys that would inflate when you poured water on them. The dry sponge is your server-side rendered HTML and the interactive JavaScript is the water being poured on it.
That's not true here in Belgium and the Netherlands. See my comment above (or below)
well you see, they tried to exchange it for cash and there was no cash left, so it got "stuck"
Conceptually it is very simple to understand.

The point that Moxie was making at the time was that, pragmatically, most users would end up not doing this. Just as most people share their thoughts on Facebook or Twitter and not on their own blogs, and if they do have their own blogs they don't run their own server, and if they do it's a virtual machine on Amazon's hardware.

So something can be theoretically capable of enabling enormous decentralisation but actually not have that effect at all.
You'll be happy to know that Thunderbird is for better or worse now mostly independent Mozilla's leadership.
> So you must be against all synthetics and half the ETFs on the stock market

11% of the ETF market is synthetic, and it is effectively illegal to launch one in the US now.

So it appeaers that its a) not half the ETFs and b) the regulator aggrees.

ETFs, hold the thing they are convertable to and are audited. the equivalent would be the stable coin having $1 in a bank account for every stable dollar they mint ... and be willing to be audited.

The SPX etf holds the actual constituent shares 1:1 with what they are redeemable as so it is a terrible example from your side. It doesnt hold a bunch of chinese equities, or discount miami property on a punt that it will do better than their underlying asset.

Stable coins have (not Dao as I agree they have a very nice fixed protocol) taken their 1:1 dollar backing, punted it on crypto, and when it went up and they were overcollateralised - paid themselves the excess personally. When crypto has gone down in value closed their eyes and eventually gone bust.

> or they simply can’t imagine a government locking people in their homes for months, hauling citizens off to centralized quarantine, separating parents and children, entering and spraying their homes, and killing their pets. I suspect the latter is more common, at least amongst most Westerners: people are so used to a baseline of individual freedom and autonomy that the very possibility of the reality of COVID in China simply does not compute.

Well yes.. For me this would be unimaginable for a virus with the risk level of Covid. For something like Ebola perhaps..

In a western society this will lead to civil war. It's just not possible, in the sense that we'd never stand for it and I fully applaud that. Especially the killing of pets that might not even be infected (and will recover if they were) is a state crime IMO.

But I think our approach was better. The idea of letting it spread and letting people build immunity through infection while protecting the health system was the right one in my view. This is why China is still messing around with lockdowns and for us Covid is now a low-risk normality. More importantly: we now have a clear path back to normality while they're still living with the uncertainty of a lockdown that can be imposed at any time. We might regress a bit but we're clearly getting much better at fending it off naturally.

Lockdowns only work if you either do them everywhere in the whole world at the same time or if you're willing to keep them forever. Neither is possible in this world.
For a typical business reader, these are pretty standard terms. Most people became familiar with MBS (mortgage-backed securities) during the last financial crisis, and CPI (consumer price index) is a way of reporting inflation.

The article is saying that if inflation is at 8.6%, no one would want to lend money for a lower rate. The real return (which takes into account the purchasing power of the dollars lent) would be negative.

The author gives evidence that there was a “no-bid” to buy debt at 5.5%. Buying debt is in effect another way of lending. Therefore, the author shows that no one wanted to lend at 5.5%, but were willing to lend at 6%. He concludes that this shows mortgage interest rates will go even higher.

That’s not to say that anyone is born knowing these terms, just that they are not particularly exotic among all the acronyms floating around.

It might be sexy, but I can't comprehend how Google can call it _stable_ when it doesn't even specify a text input layout component. Like, do apps not have user input?

The builder we used builds to spec and then you buy the house minus the initial deposit in full. He’s not a fan of doing customer-originated/owned construction loans, which is fair, I believe a good number of builders in our area operate the same way.
AmigaDOS (and Kickstart & Workbench) have always been 32 oz variety. Even Motorola 68000 got 32-bit address space and 32-bit register width. Same binary code runs fine on MC68020 and beyond.

Internally MC68k was 16-bit, but from a programmer's point of view you got 8x 32-bit data registers, 8x 32-bit address registers (minus stack pointer) and a flat, 32-bit memory space.

No 32-bit x 32-bit = 64-bit multiply though, only 16b x 16b = 32b. Same with divide.
Maybe I have unrealistic expectations, but I was surprised not to see the PinePhone Pro on the list of supported devices.

Was that a mistake or does it get lumped together with the OG PunePhone?

Firefox is a dying horse on its last throes before Hades claims it for its own. Mythology aside, I find it truly sad to see the state Firefox is in. A browser is an incredibly complex piece of software and what Mozilla did with Firefox is nothing short of brilliant. Alas, they have been left too far behind [0] I am afraid they'll no longer be relevant in a few years.

Every few months Mozilla tries to overhaul it's UI and succeeds only to try again later. What are they trying to do? What's the real reason behind their slow descent into irrelevance?

Last time I tried Firefox on Android, it was a mess. Crashing every few minutes, unpredictable. I hear its a lot better now which is great! But why did they ditch the old one?
