Firstly, not 'scared', 'scarred' - merely a bit of harmless hyperbole to indicate a briefly frustrating situation.

Secondly, this is not monkeys-at-typewriters, merely an expectation that Python would conform to any other object-based language and have a public method on string to report its length. This should be a discoverable, not an RTFM case.

Bitcoin delivers on those promises and is working now.

All other cryptos are some variation of those scams you mentioned.

It's worth taking the time to understand why Bitcoin is different.
All your translation keys are broken (I mean you don't have any default language as a fallback).
So what has Bitcoin actually solved since it has been created if not only create rampant speculation, emboldening ransomware authors to get paid and contribute to burning the planet?

I've never heard it called a humidex index, just heat index. It's pretty invaluable here where the humidity gets high enough that your sweat doesn't evaporate. In the desert, I just had to wear sunscreen and keep drinking water. In the Midwest, it can be 10 degrees cooler and you have to stop and find somewhere to cool down regularly. Your body just can't dump heat with that much moisture in the air.

In theory, sure, but I'm not sure this has been demonstrated as in any way a practical/immediate concern that would influence the maintainer's views.
Psilocybin has done wonders for my anxiety and depression in the past.
That’s actually an argument against bitcoin - not against the internet. The internets adoption was bottlenecked on real physical infrastructure that had to be developed and deployed to every corner of the planet. Bitcoin being built on top of this infrastructure has only self imposed synthetic ideological limitations, lack of product market fit and lack of utility holding it back.

There’s no reason to think that the two should take anywhere close to the same length of time to reach adoption. Just look at the iPhone and Android that came out in the same year as bitcoin. If something’s good and useful you don’t need to proselytize and make excuses.
I'm quite sure crypto people working in Python wouldn't use a Node.js library. Pretty apples-and-oranges there.

Not mutually exclusive.

Crypto is a digital evil with no observable practical value, which reminds me of child-pornography.

BT was actually fucking with me badly. I have a Sony soundbar and someone was connecting to it periodically and playing music really loud at 2AM. I had the BT mode on it turned off and the discovery stuff turned off. But still getting connections.

Well, the equipment that my company made was really quite primitive, BT-wise. They also only supported Classic (BR/EDR), and only then, for control stuff (shutter release, aperture adjust, etc.). Image data was sent over WiFi, and BT was used to help set up said WiFi.

Apple is probably the biggest offender, when it comes to custom implementations, but BT explicitly allows vendors to do custom implementations, so they aren't actually breaking any rules.

Odysee is a centralised service with centralised comments that makes centralised decisions about which videos to platform and how to rank them. Its relationship to LBRY is no different to uploading a youtube video and posting a magnet link to a torrent of the same video in the description except you have to pay their cryptocoin (which they've reserved about 50% of for their own purposes) to add the link. They could remove lbry at any time and most of their user base would not even notice.

Pretty good heuristic for these things is to assume cryptocoins are always at least one scam.

Be On-Call is working time. Therefore you should be paid for that.

In the team that I work now, it's voluntary to join the On-Call rotation. People get paid for that. To be on-call and for any incident that they have to actively work. We have as well a partially implemented "follow-the-sun" monitoring team, but that's by accident (our team has members from West coast US, Europe and Australia, but weekends are covered by On-Call)
It depends what you mean by walled garden. If you're referring to their ability to secure iOS, then no. The legislation includes many exceptions for security purposes; but they must be demonstrable and genuine. The current iOS implementation already sandboxes applications and only provides limited permissions ad hoc, according to user approval. So even under the current architecture, allowing users to install applications doesn't undermine security.

Sounds like a very extreme position. I haven't seen any creator of a deep learning library, take the extreme position of not supporting anyone who is using it for mass surveillance or burning up the planet by training it on tons of GPUs in the cloud until the data centers catch fire?

> You already negated all of humanity’s efforts to develop renewable energy. Please stop heating the planet where my children will have to live.

I agree with the energy issues of PoW, but PoS or BFT systems do not suffer from these energy issues and the author knows it.

But we are not complaining about the unavoidable wastefulness of deep learning systems or even the GPU farming and constant retraining / learning of that especially at the expense of it being used for mass surveillance?

No outrage on that is there by the tech bros when there is no efficient alternative for deep learning other than using GPUs, TPUs etc to have these data centres catching fire.

They are no better than the problem of PoW crypto systems today. But at least bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency and there are alternatives that are more efficient right now.

I can concede that Bitcoin has failed as a currency and that as an alternative for payments. But can we stop talking about crypto and thinking that Bitcoin is the only thing that matters?

> The supposed lightning network tends to centralisation

Well, let's put Bitcoin aside. The argument you are using here can also apply to Ethereum scaling solutions, and it is misguided at best and dishonest at worst.

Yes, scaling solutions sacrifice some decentralization in favor of performance. But to argue that it "defeats the purpose" is like saying "the Internet is not decentralized because most people access it through a handful of service providers" and that the only "right" way to access the Internet is by mesh networks.

Decentralization by itself is not a goal. The goal is to have a system that is censorship resistant and that can be an alternative to the status quo. If most people achieve these goals by using (regulated and well-managed) exchanges, or if smaller communities pool their resources to participate in the economy, you are still "centralizing" but you are not "defeating the purpose".

Another way to put it: say that you want to serve a community that is not served on underserved by the main banks. What would be the cost to fund and operate a credit cooperative? On the other hand, what would be the cost to setup and operate a Raiden or a Hub20 node to give people a custodial wallet?

Assuming that that factual basis were true… who gets to decide whether Ukraine joins NATO, in your opinion? Ukrainian voters or someone else? If someone else, why? Go, on, try to put it in words. Make a coherent theory of when one country can decide what another country may and may not do.

The principle we have now is one that was agreed on in 1648, in the peace treaty that ended the thirty years' war: Countries are sovereign, and each country accepts that it doesn't have any sort of super-right over other countries. (Exceptions are set out in special treaties, so e.g. Germany needed other countries' permissions to reunify, because the WW2 peace treaty granted those countries certain rights.)

As batteries get cheaper and better, the comparison to wires alters.

Even electrical grids, whose whole business is moving electricity on wires are installing batteries to avoid the expense of wires in certain situations.

It's not a binary thing and the balance is relentlessly moving towards batteries over time.
There’s no reason Bluetooth stacks couldn’t be open source - unlike a GSM modem, a Bluetooth chipset should only be able to transmit in the 2.5GHz ISM band, which is unlicensed. Even if you can change the LO enough to get outside the band, there should be hardware filtering etc.

Of course, commercially available SDRs can transmit in all sorts of bands including licensed ones if you write the code to do so, and there are plenty of open-source applications for SDR, so it’s not like it’s impossible to legally have open firmware for whatever chipsets (even cellular modems)…
If Bitcoin miners are paying for or producing the electricity themselves, what's the problem?

But that's not really the point though is it? Electricity use is not the problem. Carbon emissions are.

If renewables are competitive with fossil fuels (hint: they are), and profit-driven Bitcoin miners are incentivized to seek out the cheapest sources of energy, then Bitcoin mining should be one of the "greenest" industries on the planet.

Guess what? It already is greener than many other industries, with close to 60% of it's energy coming from renewable sources AND on top of that there are lots of operations popping up to capture and burn flared gas (i.e. methane, which is a far worse GHG than CO2).

It's album art for an album he never wanted though. Apple did a stunt some years back where they celebrated the launch of a new U2 album by automatically putting that album on everyone's iPhones. For many people, it's the only music they have in the stock Music app, so it's what gets played when nothing else is currently playing.
I have exactly he same issue with U2 on Apple Music. Exactly the same song. I think it’s because you get it for free.

There are also legitimate security concerns around devs with political motivations and the willingness to leverage their projects for their agenda.

> Fuel costs are borne by the lessee of the boat but sail costs are capital expenditures borne by the lessor.

tbf, that one's pretty easily resolved by financiers if fuel costs of typical operational use are greater than the capital costs of the masts amortised over the expected life of the vessel and the ropes and sails amortised over the expected life of the ropes and sales. There's an established market for leasing aircraft and aero engines whose value is a function of fuel economy and how much the lessees' use devalues their life limited parts.

The only thing threatened by such things is the amount of time and money that devotees pour into them.
It's also not tenable to continue emitting CO2 at the levels we currently are. So something's going to have to give. It may end up being that we ship less things, and that shipping becomes more expensive. We can't just assume that we will be able to continue to consume at the levels that we currently do.
Not relevant because crypto isn't a threat to fiat banks any more than fiat currencies are a threat to crypto. It will remain that way until large scale human effort and day-to-day expenditure is directly payable by crypto. That's a long way off.

When people are sending money through crypto (in this case bitcoin) they bid a certain amount for their transaction to be picked up. If they are paying 50 USD per transaction and people are actually booting up machines to pick up this transaction I believe I do not have anything to say to the business going between these two people.

Off-topic: any reasons related to the current topic that you relocated to Japan?
The question is not whether "spooky deanonymization as a distance" is possible; the question is how much you should proactively do to avoid this.

As an extreme example, if user A takes a screenshot if their own user setting page on a image sharing site, then sends it to user B that uploads it to the same site. Who is responsible for this piece of data? does share-a-pic.web need to scan all images for the username of a user that is deleting an account?

This is a convoluted example where the answer is obviously no, but it shows that a purely principled answer might be unsuitable.

Especially since non PII data you own mixed with non PII data someone else owns can become PII and you do not know what data others have.

(you could also replace the user ID in all locations with a new tagged UUID to preserve referential integrity in the DB, but there not much more than 2^32 humans in total, it s very hard not to be deanonymizable)
