So, be a landlord and use that money to subsidize a hackerspace? It could work, but it would be less profitable than just being a landlord and pocketing the money. It's still effectively being funded on the basis of passion.
Of course banks could pretend you have BTC that they themselves don't own. All this does is create a naked short position in BTC for the bank. They're not creating or inflating BTC. This isn't even close to how your example of $'s being lent out works.

That's ignoring the fact that you couldn't use any of the "BTC" the bank gave you (outside of their own centralized network) if they don't own any of it in an actual wallet.

Your understanding of BTC and how a bank works is extremely weak.
According to the study opinion of 90% of Americans has no impact on goverment (https://act.represent.us/sign/problempoll-fba/). Adding to it that the popular opinion itself is shaped by corporations I think focusing on individuals is mostly FUD.
Yeah I agree, I haven't faced any issues even when in 40C.

But I think the issue is these phones are stored, and not actively used, the tweet is from a tech YouTuber.

The big thing is no other brand has the same problem.
Comparing Urinary Hormone Monitors
An evidence based discussion of two popular fertility monitors, Mira and ClearBlue. Most users prefer the simpler ClearBlue monitor, however, a subset prefer the additional data available from Mira.
I learned about & down a wikipedia rabbit hole and was also so intrigued. Etymology and lexicology writ large are very interesting.. For example, look up the history of the classic "ye olde shoppe". The mix of cultures and the effects of time are amazing.

One of my favorite word derivations is feamyng which is a collective noun for ferrets. The word itself is like a game of telephone gone wrong. Multiple mistypings in dictionaries, etc. give it quite the interesting word history.
Well these all suck.

Obviously `@nest always` and `brackets` are the same in disguise, and are here cause they're conceptually cleaner.

The problem with both of these is that they're unnecessarily verbose.

Why not have a shorter token than `@nest` and something that doesn't want more indenting (like `{}`)? For example `\`? And then if you want to make things a little less verbose, just assume the first character is going to be `&` cause that's going to be 99% of use cases.

And then you get something like this:

foo {
color: blah;
\ h2 { font-weight: bold }
\ h3 { font-weight: bolder }
\ i > & { ... }
}

But no one ever listens to me!
No, with Signal on desktop or iPad it automatically opens a QR code for you to scan and once you scan it your new device gets linked.
Yeah I don't see whats wrong with the current css solution? Drilling down tags (the current implementation) just makes it more explicit in my opinion.

I feel like nesting is going to take nice flat easy-to-read css and make it too complex and deep.

So buy a Prius. They have been around for 20 years. The point is, clearly, the vast majority of the other 330M US residents want a bigger, heavier, higher car. As evidenced by the sales numbers of cars.

Solution has always been dead simple. Increase fossil fuel taxes to whatever levels necessary to curb consumption. But again, that is not what the people want. ExxonMobile themselves come out and campaign for $20/gallon gas tax, and they would get vilified.
There were some very weird toys in the 70s. I recall an actual injection molder (not the "Thingmaker", that was just heating thermoplastic) that could be used to make small soldiers that smelled vaguely of dog excrement. It had a hopper that you filled with pellets of some kind of polymer, and a plunger that injected melted polymer into a mold. I coveted this one. I haven't been able to find anything on this one, due to information camouflage: all I can google up is references to injection molded toys, and companies that do injection molding. The toy I'm remembering had you doing the injection molding yourself.

There was also the Mattel Strange Change: https://flashbak.com/youll-burn-your-fingers-remembering-mat...

Just like the "Thingmaker", everyone burned themselves on this one.
If you look at the recent Facebook news in concert - "turning up the heat" on employees, Oculus price increase, and copying TikTok as quickly as possible - it seems like Facebook is in real trouble. This is the flailing of a drowning man.

Using realtime GPS tracking for this sort of thing is fetishizing technology to overoptimize a problem that was trivially solved for millenia using verbal offsets from known landmarks, while at the same time introducing and normalizing grave privacy concerns in society.
BorderPass Is Hiring Senior Full-Stack Developers
Check out our job posting to join our fast growing company!
That the CTO was the one doing the code review tells me either: the company is incredibly small, or the CTO has a major ego problem (or, perhaps, you are so "senior" only the CTO could possibly understand what you did (seems quite unlikely, though))

Unless it was a very small company, be thankful you escaped the hell hole it would be :)
One DB (or perhaps schema, depending on DBMS) per tenant is the way to go IMO. It simplifies so much of your work, from DR to deletion to scaling.
That's SBAS/WAAS! another cool thing

This is trying to measure ionosphere disturbances which affect signal propagation rates via ground reference stations. The real-time model is then calculated and distributed using ground stations and geostationary satellites.

GPS is way, way cool, and it's a pity the extent of its engineering is not better known.

Food blogs were one of the first genres to develop once they evolved beyond links. There were jokes about how nobody wants to read a blog about what you ate for dinner before there were jokes about how nobody wants to read tweets about what you ate for dinner.
Whether it's fair or not, personal responsibility has been very clearly pointed out and it's not changed anything. People are shitty and selfish, or sometimes just naive, and at their best, when they do everything they should, they are impotent.

Consumers are not just going to pull on their big boy pants and stop consuming, and we'll all live happily in a recovered ecosystem eating organic corn by candlelight. It has to be regulation on industry, and improvements to production (eg ditch coal power generation). Stop it where it matters, where impacts have the scale to actually matter.

I've been riding my bike to work this whole damn time! I think we're going to have to be a bit more ambitious.

Depends on the type of grinder. A saddle-type quern absolutely puts enough rock into the flour to degrade teeth, as seen on ancient egyptian remains.
One issue with them, (specifically the crossnut variety) is if you don't use the correct tool a crossnut might start spinning in the metal. If that ever happens when your final bolt is already in, it's like having a nut on the blind side. You can't unscrew the bolt. Otherwise they are great, just but the right settings tool and drill the right size hole.
Hey, thanks :D

> Pricing: you could tie pricing with the performance (pay $1 per extra followers that your best version is getting - cap at $X0).

That's interesting, I never thought about this pricing model haha. I'll see if this makes sense. For example, you might get some followers from people that have not clicked on your profile (name hover or suggestions) (and there is no way of detecting this).

> Marketing: use the twitter api to find accounts that need you the most. Probably businesses who tweet a lot with little engagement. You could target newly funded startups, maybe look at who's posting on product hunt etc.

Good idea. I'm also thinking about reaching out to social media agencies. They might be interesting in a tool that will help their clients grow on Twitter :)
We haven't yet gone through any audits [we're small/young], but we've began to prepare for SOC2. The policy itself is absolutely insufficient for anything of the sort and we expect that we will generate a ton of further documentation. After all, SOC2 is essentially all about documenting your processes in detail.
Exploring Large Tables with the Table Lens (1995)
I don't know about the metaverse but this site sure is.
This reminds me of many anecdotal reports of companies having difficulty selling in Japan, only to be told to "add a zero" to their prices and find huge success. Too cheap = not very good/desirable, in other words.
I had an initial negative reaction to this comment and tried to figure out why - I think the main reason is that you're putting the blame on individuals for systemic problems. I don't think any amount of individual people trying to be better is going to counteract the damage being done at scale by our large companies. There's definitely a bunch of issues where collective action can work great, but everyone at BP recycling isn't going to fix the next time they set the ocean on fire or get them to stop drilling for oil.

This feels kinda like other arguments I see for systemic problems where we blame individuals in the US - we have the most people in jail because they make bad decisions, we have the most shootings because those people are bad, we have so much obesity because people don't have self control, etc - but all these are happening across the population and not in other countries so the cause can't be the individual people, it has to be caused by the environment we're in.

As another argument that ignores the blame question altogether - it's just about how we can make the biggest impact the fastest. It's much easier to pass a law saying that makes it prohibitively expensive to be an oil company than it is to say people need to limit their driving more, and the downstream effect will be the same with less people using oil
New Materials Open Door to New Devices
I am way past that point. I used to use Slack personally but I like Slack about as much as FB, so I now primarily have reverted to my own personal blog, where I make posts with video etc and take comments, and post those posts on FB, Twitter and other social media. It's like I have gone back to what works. My closest family and friends have a login to that blog where we share posts that are private. All our YouTube videos are unlisted and embedded on the blog with settings to prevent "Watch on YouTube" etc. I have my own nix servers and maintain shared family audio/photo/video/media content. We extensively use Signal, Facetime and Skype. When you have a large extended group that wants to stay interconnected globally there is only so much you can do - different participants have their own preferences and if you want to stay connected with them you have to use their poison of choice. It is unrealistic to alienate users who only know one or two platforms and lack the technical expertise, time and yes money to invest in yet again something new.

Also, I never did understand the benefit you get from deleting your FB/Instagram account - Meta still owns your content. It never gets deleted. Isn't it better to maintain your account but lock it down to your own standards? (e.g. link external content, share content to focused groups of users, etc). You can use Messenger (which is all some people actually use). What do you gain by deleting the account? Just losing control.

EDIT: One thing I think is great with FB is the ability to export all your content. I do that at least annually and have a MySQL database into which I import it all (which gives me the coveted ability to search for a specific post either by date back in 2008 for instance, by text etc). Why would I want to lose all that?

Excellent contribution "all research is fake"
I like how “having a computer science degree” counts as “zero knowledge” simply because this person didn’t know what XSS meant. Their definition of a newbie is… unsatisfying.
Whether or not it's actually "spam," as TTS gets better it probably gets more tempting to create podcast feeds for articles/blogs because... why not? Even if it's not for monetization purposes.
Sure; don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of more bus routes! If EV makes those buses cheaper to operate, that's a big win in my book.

Probably because what you call state he calls globals.
We should just go back to the good old days and ship custom operating systems with our applications. Then you can just boot to them and be sure the underlying system is what you want.
Go into the club and poke holes in any speakers you see. All the audio links are probably wired or could be if needed so "jamming" radio mics aint likely to help for long. Destroying speakers will at least require some effort to replace.

Perhaps organize the neighbors to block the doors or otherwise make the neighborhood unwelcoming to club patrons.

If its that kinda fight; admit that you're in a fight that civil government will not help you with, and take direct action against the neighbors that are offending you. Broken bones speak louder than words.
Same here. I find it a little funny that I’m 54 now and when I was watching the video of the ad I was thinking, “That’s so COOL!!”
I spent some time a few years back looking for precursors to "squircle". See https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2019/04/02/history-of-the-ter...

It appears that if you have four rods in a 2×2 formation, then the interior part was called a squircle in one paper.

There's also a "squircle" in Struble’s 1962 book “Nonlinear differential equations”, page 39.

See that link for more details.

While I didn't mention it, there was also a non-mathematical use of "squircle" as a magic trick to turn a square into a circle.

yep, exactly my experience too.

Never had an initial 6 month contract turn out to be "just" 6 months. Shortest duration during my stints was 18 months (2 renewals).
Most of my career has been at investment banks.

My first attempt at a trendy Silicon Valley tech company was at one of the FAANGs where my friend had previously gotten in and referred me. I was told that I was going to have to do a homework project because my bank * background.

I've applied to several other companies where I was told outright I was not being considered because of my bank background, or that the odds were against me because of my bank background. One company had me write an essay justifying why I would be a good hire in spite of my bank background. Ironically, one was a company that used .NET as their primary stack - .NET being the darling of banks and other big crufty old school enterprises and often shunned by other trendy tech companies.

Speaking of .NET - most of my early career experience was as a .NET developer. That too opened up a whole bunch of discrimination so that I removed any mention of .NET or C# in my resume and LinkedIn once I decided I no longer wanted to work for banks or other old school companies. Being able to pivot to Python and JavaScript opened doors.

Having said that, having a bank background is not a showstopper to getting a job at a Silicon Valley tech company. I've managed to make the jump, and many of my ex-colleagues from banks have also made the jump. The biggest hurdle seems to be whether you want to put in the time to grind leetcode or not.

* "bank" here could probably be interchanged with most crufty old school tech-as-a-cost-center enterprises in general.
I am normally pretty good about updating firmware on stuff, but never even thought about camera firmware until this post. Sure enough my 8 year old Nikon has some updates. Including one from 2020, 6 years after it came out. Not the 10 years of this one but still impressive.
> They could have added more cooks, and another cashier, keeping the responsiveness and speed of old, keeping their food fast for walkins.

McDonald's hasn't been fast food for a long, long time -- and this has nothing to do with Doordash/delivery.

In the 80's and 90's at least, all food was made ahead of time. There were rows of burgers sitting under heat lamps, and once you paid the cashier, they would grab your entire order in under 30 seconds and hand it to you. It was fast food.

But as competitors started making better-tasting food freshly prepared (e.g. Wendy's made all hamburgers to-order), McD's had to catch up. So the burgers under heat lamps are long gone, and you have to wait 5-15 minutes for your food to be made. You get a number on your receipt and walk over to a pickup area now.

Also the 7 minutes to have your order taken has nothing to do with DoorDash/delivery -- it's the fact that McD's raised their minimum wage a few years ago, so they can only afford 1 cashier instead of 4-5, and they want you to use a kiosk/app to order using a touchscreen.

McDonald's didn't bork anything. Their hot, fresh quarter pounders are now almost infinitely tastier than the old shriveled ones in dried-up buns baking under a lamp for 30 minutes prior that we ate in the 80's and 90's. But that comes at the cost of waiting for them to make them fresh.
Understood, but I don't think that view is consistent with the evidence we have of brain activity during conscious and unconscious states, and memory formation.

Anti-Vax Dating Site Unjected Suffers Data Breach
Because the successful trajectory (the survivor trajectory) is being analyzed on the assumption that if its attributes/variables can be reverse engineered, then the sequence can be reproduced by others (i.e., others will survive, too).

Some additional info if the topics interests you:
Survivor bias can be described as both a cognitive and motivational bias. First, it relies on the widespread conception amongst human beings that reproducing someone else's trajectory/decisions eventually leads to an equivalent outcome (cognitive error). Second, we all share a profound need to feel that we understand the world that surrounds us (motivational).

Think about the alternative: without this bias, we would be consciously aware that our success (or survival) cannot be singularly attributed to our effort or our ability to reproduce trusted strategies. This would likely push us towards feeling increasingly powerless in our ability to achieve our goals (or survive), and eventually drive us into a depressive state (the "whatever" mindset). At this precise moment I should bring religion to the discussion, but I will not because it will take me too much time.

Self-help literature almost exclusively operates by exploiting the survivor at two levels: authors often are themselves convinced that anyone who reproduces their recommendations will be similarly successful, and at the reader level, because without people telling us that we can succeed, there would be simply no hope.

Hope I answered your question :)
Occam's razor. In philosophy, a razor is a principle or rule of thumb that allows one to eliminate ("shave off") unlikely explanations for a phenomenon, or avoid unnecessary actions. In essence, they provide guardrails to keep discussions centered within the realm of reason when venturing to the edge of our knowledge and beyond.
Yeah this is my intuition as well, though I haven't spent much time thinking about the problem. Like, yeah, if you write very non-performant code, it won't perform well. So what? Don't write stupid code.
If it is not a joke it is a badass move. It also shows that user love and deeply care about your product. And I laughed as well!
I'll call it; for an app in this space, anything other than FOSS or perhaps a one time deal like Obsidian's model is 100% a bad idea, and self-hosting must ALWAYS be a first-class citizen.

It's perhaps ironic that this reverses "you get what you pay for," but experience should teach all of us that these subscription type deals are strongly likely to screw you, usually through some change in the business model.

(Personally, tried org-mode in the past, have also played with Obsidian, but for me http://zim-wiki.org is the perfect combo of easy and extensible)

I am quite perplexed at how ignorance is considered the solution here or that awareness of cancer is considered the problem.

I accept their recommendation that many cancers are slow growing enough that they should be left in place rather than treated, but shouldn't risk models be updated rather than trying not produce certain information?

If the problem is overtreatment of cancer, it seems like guidelines should be improved for when and how to treat cancer rather than not having the information about the cancer.

How I learned to stop worrying and love The Algorithm
I am very upset about this. I always hoped that small firms outside of the US were immune to this sort of problems.

Rockstar Games has a relatively small team. RockStar North which based in Scotland and is the epicenter of the GTA saga development headcount is about 300.

That's very similar to a football franchise. In a football franchise coaches and players routinely taunt and tell each other off, but they always come back to each other and after winning games and championships they celebrate like nothing ever happened.

Why don't employees counter and insult back instead of quitting? Why don't managers take the heat back like men instead of firing that person?

This hypersensitivity has to end , for it is ruining everything that is cool. It has to start with managers, they need to be able to take insults and absorb them like men. Then employees have to do their part as well, not quitting and not suing, but hitting back like a WR when the coach gets too much his face
If verbosity is the issue we're trying to solve for then it seems obvious that the answer is to simply use the nest emoji instead of "@nest".
