If you have a lightning channel to the custodial service you use, you can transfer the funds to yourself any time though.

So in contrast to a fiat bank, where you keep your funds permanently, you could use a "lightning bank" just to hold last nights payments and transfer them to yourself every morning. Or you automate the withdrawl to take place every hour.

And: Couldn't your phone be your server? The way I understand LN, receiving funds just means to exchange a few bytes of data. Can't phone apps receive push messages?
Also, they only work if I have an e-mail client on the device I'm trying to log in from. Otherwise having to transfer this link becomes a burden.

Additionally, even if I do have the e-mail on my device, clicking the link on mobile often opens it up inside some alternative web-view. Thus the session is tied to my e-mail client, not my actual browser.
Which directory separator did it have?
Except Japan, Switzerland or Norway just to name the few. Meanwhile, it's rising in countries that followed Fed's playbook (notably the EU block and specifically Eurozone countries which fall under ECB's policy).
Genuinely curious: can you point me to this evidence?

> Figure 4 shows the employment status of the survey respondents. The overwhelming majority are employed full-time. The next two most popular answers were self-employed/freelancer or full-time student. This makes sense as most of the skills necessary to contribute to FOSS are highly valued in today’s job market (programming, technical documentation, etc.).

The way I understand this is that most contributors are employed full-time, not that most contributors are employed to work on free software full-time..

> In aggregate, of 577 survey respondents, 48.7% said they are paid for time
spent on open source contributions by their current employer, 2.95% said another party pays them, 4.33% said they are not paid because their employment contract prevents them from accepting payment for open source development, and 44.02% said they are not paid for any other reason.

So almost half of all contributors are actually paid to work on free software projects full-time. That is a fairly high number, but I feel it's still not that overwhelming.

> Clearly, corporate funding is concentrated in a few large projects, which inevitably means that there will be volunteers out there who carry a huge burden keeping critical smaller projects going.

I suppose it's just basic economy - a piece of software that solves a general problem (e.g. a kernel) will be used by more people then software that serves some specific purpose (e.g. text editor). But it seems to me that in no way is free software dependent on any company funding - that are more then enough hackers out there to keep the thing going, even if every company in the world decided to pull the plug at once.

That's something I wont ever understand: Endgame was one of the biggest disapointment of my life. Everything was bad: plot (Time travel really ? "lets just go back and get the stones ?"), characters ("Bad Thanos" really ? He is stronger than ironman final version + captain america + thor WITHOUT THE FUCKING STONES), humour, 0 attention to details. I could go on for an hour

This was hard to me ESPECIALLY in comparison to Infinity War which was one of the best action movie I've ever seen in all this aspects, and all the build up they did for endgame.

Some interesting points. IMHO, LN is far from THE solution. But it will help merchant adoption, more than end-user though.

The fact is, most people would/will probably use custodial LN wallets, which is against some "crypto" postulates, and comes down to well known MySQL argument.

The difference is MySQL on Bitcoin vs MySQL on USD (Paypal). As we will see in the coming months, fiat itself is a lot like a MySQL.

So I would argue that there is nothing wrong with MySQL on Bitcoin, and in fact, is an upgrade on fiat.
>$700B

Global force projection at the benefit for all Western economies is very expensive. This money is required to even allow the form of economy "the West" is running.

How else were you going to keep up the Pax Americana that enables globalization by making significant global trade networks even possible in the first place? Who's gonna insure your freighter if international waters aren't protected by Western navies? Pirates, rogue states closing important channels, at will seizures for no reason... the list is long.

As the Pax Americana will likely soon fade through growing influence of the BRICS nations and "America First"-style ideologies, the 700B will probably wither away quite fast in the next decades - along with all the benefits we enjoyed since WW2.

Just one illustration. How man South American or African nations support the sanctions against Russia? How many Asian nations that are not Japan?

EM interference.
Someone else posted that this isn't a feature they would look for in a VPN, and I'd mostly agree except for one big problem: VPNs are the only way to effectively block things in iOS and (un-rooted) Android, and you can only have one VPN active at a time. This means that you have to choose between either having a proper VPN connected or a fake one to block content you don't like. Mullvad's ads, trackers and malware blocking DNS has been awesome when I'm on my iPhone and don't want to deal with ads in apps. I'm sure some other people who have dependence issues with gambling or adult content would appreciate being able to use their preferred VPN while also blocking content.

For some non-extreme cases, sure. It depends on the heating method, but for example European countries with hot water pumped central heating to blocks of flats are more likely to drop the temperature by a couple degrees than kill a data centre or phones (which often go over data links these days).

Is not as simple or fully centrally managed of course, but the idea is valid - communication is more important than some small level of extra comfort. But of course in the middle of the winter a data centre would be shut down before heating went off completely.
It is one one of the things that sometimes trips up someone trying to publicly release software. Often they try to give a free license or release to the public domain but this may be considered invalid if they don't explicitly state that they expect nothing in return. This is why free software licenses have explicit terms about this.
Can other people’s crypto binaries ever be fully trusted? - and there’s the other issue of ‘software rot’ making those binaries and associated data potentially unusable in the future. Home risk is mainly theft of hardware by burglars looking for cash resale rather than cryptanalyst hackers - so for purely personal use, and to guarantee future readability, perhaps rolling your own AES from source isn’t so misguided if it’s just to protect the odd spreadsheet or personal letter from prying eyes?
The problem here is end-hosting transparency. How Amazon and S3 and the other providers structure themselves to ensure redundancy is fairly well known.

How those 10,000 providers do is quite different - namely, a 6000 of them are all behind the same segment of the internet that can go down? Then if you were distributing data aggressively, you probably lost access to something temporarily - or permanently.

This isn't an idle risk: if it's cheap and easy to start making some amount of money off of Filecoin hosting, then you have the fly-by-night problem: suppose some Chinese firms with cheap warehousing cobble together a whole lot of storage, and then, to optimize against people doing exactly this (and thus increase revenue) they advertise themselves out onto the network as dozens, or hundreds of logically separate entities?

What looks like cheap storage which you've made redundant, suddenly actually isn't - it all has the same base fault possible.

Show HN: Flowful – Ambient music generators for focus and concentration
Hey everyone,

Flowful is a collection of ambient music generators designed to fade into the background while you work.

I made Flowful out of frustration with ambient music playlists on streaming platforms either skewing my recommendations, or launching me into something very distracting once the playlist is finished.

The music is procedurally generated real time in your browser using Javascript by piecing together a bunch of custom-recorded samples.

Its free to try without an account, and the premium tracks rotate to become free on a weekly basis, meaning if you wait long enough, all the tracks would have had their turn on the free week.

There are currently around 20 tracks (not including the combinations) and I plan on adding one or two new tracks each week (or whenever inspiration strikes).

Most of the track art is made by DALL-E 2.

Any and all feedback is very appreciated! :)

Whatever pushes people closer to Godot. Seriously though, the only thing I see that Unity has that Godot lacks is a rich asset / resource store, with lots and lots of options for whatever you want to build your game with. I would think the maintainers could produce such a store to facilitate funding the project and even provide their own offerings like code snippets for specific game types and then keep 100% of those proceeds (aside from payment vendor fees) towards the project.

It's either that or someone, somewhere with free time and energy builds their own and donates to Godot for every asset bought.

I really like Godot but I'm only a dev, I don't have time to design my own graphics, I just want to code different ideas to see how they go and go from there, I just want to download a few assets and get cracking, and right now that is far easier to do with Unity than it is with Godot it seems like. I think Godot adopting a Unity importer might help significantly.

Hey, I'm the creator of Appsmith.

Thank you for trying Appsmith & apologies that you had a poor experience with the product.

Can I ask if you were pulling a lot of data from your databases to populate the UI? I'm asking because we definitely have our work cut out to handle larger amounts of data.

As you rightly said, Appsmith is written in Java which allocates 25% of available memory by default and expands to 75% memory. You can control this behaviour by adding APPSMITH_JAVA_HEAP_ARG="-Xmx2G" in the docker.env file.
The same as always \, while CP/M didn't even had directories, it was a flat file systems.
Matt Levine's analysis [1,2] are (imo) good places to get a sense of the issues around this - his commentary on the legal, financial and commercial aspects is illuminating, and entertainingly so.

Based on his analysis, it does seem like Musk really has succeeded in shooting himself in the foot. There was a recent decision, again covered by Matt Levine, in the Delaware Chancery, where (from what I can understand), in a similar situation, the Chancery compelled the buyer to complete the purchase, notwithstanding their attempts to exit the agreement [3].

Can you build one that blocks all non-adult and non-gambling content? Asking for a friend…
It certainly feels like the people in the Amiga space. They'll milk their cow until its last drop of blood.
Your best bet is to browse through here - https://fvm.filecoin.io/ - there are A TON.

Some examples:

* Joining together to share storage of important data (e.g. several foundations together)

* Auto-renewing/auto-replication of storage (e.g. if a storage provider fails to respond after a certain period of time, content could be automatically replicated to a new provider)

* Automated caching & distribution - a single piece of content uploaded could be automatically replicated to other providers around the world

* Sophisticated storage auctions - let's say you're a storage provider and realize that someone has removed a large chunk of data, thereby freeing up a ton of space. A contract could automatically lower the price for storing on your disks so you're back running at full capacity more quickly.

* Futures contracts - let's say you have a lot of data you know you're going to need for a long time into the future (e.g. 10GB of log data generated every day). You may want more stability in pricing, so you "buy" all the storage now, and are not subject to volatility.

Etc, etc. But the best use cases are the ones we haven't even thought up yet!

> how anyone can argue that Twitter don't have the responsibility to demonstrate the accuracy of their estimation of market value

The problem is that the person who made the unprompted offer of $54.20 per share - thus estimating the market value at $44bn - spent weeks going on about how they thought Twitter's bot estimates were too low and that they were buying Twitter to fix this bot problem.

To then turn around and go "wah wah too many bots" is somewhat disingenuous, no?

(Also, Twitter have been using the same methods of bot estimation since 2013, afaik, and have submitted these numbers to the SEC every year. If they were plausibly wrong, someone would have flagged it before now, right? Because that would be submitting false data to the SEC and, I believe, they consider that A Bad Thing.)

It's actually pretty insane: there is a setting on Android to always use the main browser (Chrome) to open links, I've turned it on, and yet the Gmail app still opens the links in the embedded Chrome browser — which has different cookies, different history that apparently is not synced with my other Chromes, and even looks sli-i-ightly different than "normal" Chrome, somehow.

I've no idea why it is so difficult for apps to open links in the user-selected browser. Isn't it just "xdg-open https://example.com/"?

Interestingly, this is PRECISELY what FVM will help enable.

By using an FVM contract, you can specify exactly what you'd like - how distributed, how automatic the replication, etc etc. This, of course, is a bit manual for now, expect lots more simplicity in the space - or just use https://web3.storage which does this all for you!

I think a lot of the complaints here are "nerd problems".

For customers they seem like a super convenient thing, I was just implementing them in my app. Yes magic links have problems and it's probably making me lean more towards the "emailing a code" option now, some of those problems outlined aren't easy to ignore.

The app I'm working on, users would login probably once or twice a year. I just can't imagine they want to deal with passwords, especially because my app is very niche, they'd use it once a year for one thing only. What I can imagine them having to do is constantly use the "forgot my password" feature anyway.

For conversion easy logins are really important.Anyone have any better ideas than magic links, passwords or one time codes in email?
Is CO2 capturing the biggest problem that prevents it from being cost-effective?
I don't know, GP comment said "rather than email" and not "rather than a link".

Even so, the potential problem caused by email providers automatically calling links in received emails is trivially prevented by having a "Confirm login" button at the destination, as displayed in the visual example in the article. Also, using a QR would then rely on the user having yet another device at hand to log in, perform the often awkward scanning procedure instead of an ordinary couple of clicks/taps... to then finally log in on their phone and not on the original device they were aiming to (as well as making it less secure in a public surrounding against covert attackers in close proximity, but that's a bit of an edge case).
