> If you want store of value buy cash/dividend producing assets.

Cash/dividends denominated in falling currency is not a store of value. Ie. a profitable business that takes revenue in and pays out dividends in Turkish Lira or Venezuelan Bolivar. Not an issue for those in west, but not everyone has access to stable currency/markets.

> to ask currency to both act as transaction and store of value (those are opposite requirements).

They are actually complimentary, with one use-case following the other. For anything to be become tradable (used as currency) it must first be valuable. Over time, money that hold their value better become the "better money", as its ability to hold value becomes self-evident, and everyone becomes willing to accept it. This is how we got to a gold standard over some thousands of years. Lesser valuable monies trade hands more frequently, and have higher velocity, not because they are preferred to be held, but because people view them as inferior stores of value. Ie. you hoard the gold coins, and daily trade with the silver and copper ones. The proliferation of trade denominated in silver or copper makes it appear that a society prefers silver or copper as their money, but this is a deceptive metric.

Paper dollars initially represented a redeemable voucher for gold in a vault. Trading paper gold was more convenient than custodying actual gold. However you expected the paper to be redeemable for gold, which is why this paper bill had value in the first place.

I think it's the same reason why so much of our software is poor quality: taking something from "works" to "works well" is a cost sink. It will cost you and yet doesn't add much to the bottom line to compensate.

Basically, there's a gap between "it works" and "it's effortless" and that's a pricey gap that doesn't net you a lot in return financially.

Given the surprisingly poor perfection of dna "matching" and the tendency for public and law-court rhetoric to seriously misrepresent the odds of a mistake... at this point anyone who would voluntarily submit dna - or anything other than fight very hard against handing it over - has grotesquely poor judgement.
Okay, ignoring how obviously this is a frivolous lawsuit and likely covered under anti SLAPP laws, it's scummy as hell nonetheless, and shows how terrified the folks at Toptal are of competition. This is one company whose services I certainly won't be using now, even if I did find a use case for their product.
I don't think he's using it in the same manner you may be.

A game can have random elements and still be "perfect". Because his perfect game may be a game where he can lose due to variance. There is something to seeing if you can play around variance. That way there's always a way the game can be challenging.

Unlike games with perfect information and no variance. Those games can be completely solved (given enough resources). And I think that's what you're thinking of, games with perfect information.

> Case in point, Alex Jones' lawyer was able to obtain medical history of the defendants.

Do you mean plaintiffs not defendants? My understanding is Alex Jones was being sued, not doing the suing.

I'm not aware of the details of that case, but could those records be something his lawyer legitimately demanded during discovery? My understanding is that HIPAA only controls the disclosure of medical records by the medical provider and related parties, and I'd be surprised if there wasn't a carve out for court orders. If the records leave the provider's custody for any reason, HIPAA is irrelevant for any dissemination after that point.
I would have no problem seeing that included on such lists either. I have friends who hunt and I myself enjoy shooting on a range once in a while. I also know single parents that live alone in sketchy areas that are well trained and level headed enough to trust with firearms for home self defense.

There are almost always reasonable uses of many services and tools we tend to have knee-jerk-ban reactions to as a society.

I want to share my small take on this, from someone who runs a decent smart home setup. You want to avoid cloud stuff, if you keep that in mind a lot of options you can just exclude and your horizon becomes limited (in a sense) - but you get the best parts!

If you have a strong 2.4GHz wireless network already (a proper mesh system in your home), look into having your smart stuff run over wireless, no point in having zigbee. If you don't have a strong wireless network, first consider getting one, else look into zigbee devices.

Run home assistant, doesn't matter what devices you want to have on your network, home assistant is a must for a decent smart home experience. You can run it on a raspberry pi 3b+ or a spare server in a docker container. Spare server is faster but the pi can handle it.

Setup all your devices to talk to home assistant, then make home assistant expose the devices to Google Home or Alexa, instead of directly exposing the devices to the cloud services.

Smart TVs are not good, my experience with LG and Samsung has been of ADs and abandoned software, instead get a good TV (image quality, etc..) and plug a Mi Box or Roku or Amazon Firestick into it.

CCTV is a mixed topic, you can go the closed circuit camera option (NVRs and suff) or you can go with ip cameras. Just don't use wireless cameras, everything wired for this.

If you want some hardware brands and comparisons, check out The Hook Up on youtube for the specific topic. I can vouch for Sonoff, Shelly, Reolink, etc..
I just edited my post to give suggestion though honestly in this case, given what you intended to convey and being a written format "exemplarily" is actually a pretty good choice of word! Just a bit of a mouthful to say out loud.
The context, from Mauro’s previous message:

> Only an application that handles video should be using those controls, and as far as I know, pulseaudio is not a such application. Or are it trying to do world domination? So, on a first glance, this doesn't sound like a regression, but, instead, it looks tha pulseaudio/tumbleweed has some serious bugs and/or regressions.

Style and culture are certainly open for debate (I wouldn’t be as harsh as Linus), but correcting a maintainer who was behaving this way towards a large number of affected users was warranted. The kernel broke the API contract, a user reported it, and Mauro blamed the user for it.
Notes:

"EAC" is Easy Anti Cheat, sold by Epic.[1] Not EarthCoin.

"EOS", in this context, is probably Epic Online Services, not one of the 103 other known uses of that acronym.[2]

Here's a list of the games using those features.[3]

So, many of these issues are for people building games with Epic's Unreal Engine on Linux. The last time I tried UE5, after the three hour build, it complained I had an NVidia driver it didn't like. I don't use UE5, but I've tried it out of curiosity. They do support Linux, but, as is typical, it's not the first platform they get working. Epic does have support forums, and if this is some Epic problem encountered by a developer, it can probably be fixed or worked round.

Wine is impressive. It's amazing that they can run full 3D games effectively. Mostly. Getting Wine bugs fixed is somewhat difficult. The Wine people want bugs reported against the current dev version. Wine isn't set up to support multiple installed versions of itself. There's a thing called PlayOnLinux which does Wine version switching, but the Wine team does not accept bug reports if that's in use.[4] So you may need a spare machine with the dev version of Wine for bug reproduction.

Was static linking not enough?

I feel like the problem most people run into today is glibc vs. musl differences. They develop on Ubuntu, then think they can just copy their binaries into a "FROM alpine:latest" container, which doesn't actually work.

It is possible, though, that whatever you statically link doesn't work with the running kernel, of course. And there are a lot of variants out there; every distribution has their own patch cadence. (A past example of this was the Go memory corruption issue from 1.13 on certain kernels. 1.14 added various checks for distribution + kernel version to warn people of the issue, and still got it wrong in several cases. Live on the bleeding edge, die on the bleeding edge.)
The PinePhone (and the PinePhone Pro) are close to daily driver status, but I'll also make a plug for SailfishOS.

I've been using SailfishOS on my Sony XA2+ for nearly three years and it's brilliant. Using the licensed version, I can also run Android apps as long as they're not dependent on Google services, although I prefer the UX of the native SailfishOS apps.
Brynjolfsson and McAfee made a simular argument a decade ago - we will use automation to replace rather than augment human labor, the result being a local optimum far from the global one (that's in terms of results, the dystopian disempowerment of humanity is another story.
>That doesn't make any sense. Signal did the total opposite. It started keeping sensitive user data in the cloud including your name, your photo, your phone number, and a list of your contacts. It stores that data on their servers permanently.

This is the first I've heard of that. And if it's true, it's a big problem.

Is there any documentation of this behavior that you can direct me to?

They consented to that data being collected by the hospital, and shared with anyone who needs access to private health data for the purposes of medical examination or treatment. If they consented to the data being shared, they were probably not informed of the possibility it could be shared to law enforcement.

This also manifests in for instance how we treat testing in software engineering. Folks don't get as much credit for writing tests because it's impossible to count the set of SEVs that didn't happen. On the other hand, you get outsized credit for the heroics of fixing them.

>> Dangerous precedence, this will increase the portion of the population that chooses to skip the screening.

> As it should.

Not in this case. These screenings detect serious diseases, and skipping them will have serious health consequences for many people:

https://www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/newborn-screening-t...: here's just one of the things they test for:

> Phenylketonuria (PKU). PKU is an inherited disease in which the body cannot metabolize a protein called phenylalanine. It is estimated that one in every 10,000 to 15,000 babies is born with PKU in the U.S. Without treatment, PKU can cause intellectual disability. Newborn screening for PKU is required in all 50 states.

IIRC, babies with that condition need to be put on a special formula ASAP, or they'll have problems.

> So far, data collection rarely benefits the people the data are collected from.

That may be true, but it's lazy and incorrect to assume that it's correct to proceed like it never benefits anyone.
The Owner Free Filesystem
I generally don't prepare for anything because the opportunity cost of being prepared for something is almost necessarily against responding to the events I am not prepared for - and those are the ones you really have to worry about.

The secret I find is to always be ready for the things you aren't prepared for.
In the way that it's used, DNA is as close to a unique identifier as you can get. There are many techniques. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_profiling
You can tune the stringency but they shouldn't be causing enough false positives that screening will just turn up random people. More likely to get close relatives of people in the room at some point. See "partial matching" on the linked page.

Plastics are playing the long game. They have to turn into micro- and nanoplastics first and may then enact undesired, unforeseen biological functions, just like BPA [1].

x86 did appear in one context where legacy compatibility is likely to have been a much smaller (or non issue?) and where (eg power consumption) efficiencies would have been even more valuable - that’s on mobile running Android.

Zapier's impact in the broader ecosystem isn't unlike AWS' in the sense that it has enabled so many orgs to build faster without the hassle (connectors, APIs, event processing, ...).

Police can't figure out your parent's fingerprint from looking at your fingerprint. Only 4 states collect fingerprints from driver's licenses; California does so only to do a background check for certain kinds of vehicle industry occupational licensing.

Also applying for a license means you are at or approaching the age of majority. Either you are applying for a license knowing that you once did a crime, or you're doing a crime knowing you once submitted a fingerprint for a license. That's very different from having your blood sampled as a newborn, and most people assume their health information had privacy protection.

Apples and oranges are both fruits, but they're not interchangeable.
Based on my "anecdata" of driving through many of those areas, I would say the problem is much worse than the map shows. Also, it is one of the few maps that showed meth activity by county, in a national context. Recent DEA and CDC reports are all PDFs filled with statistics and not mapped out as well. But, the numbers are only climbing and these areas are still centers of the consumption.

I don't like copy/pasting passwords. Many computers have a clipboard log these days and you never know what program is polling for your clipboard contents. Mobile apps used to do this all the time and I don't believe for a second that shitty trackers and other such online stalkerware doesn't try to get the contents of your clipboard.

I use an integrated browser mostly so I don't need to go through my clipboard, even though Bitwarden has a setting to auto clear the clipboard after copying a password.
You're right, I missed those. OP should probably remove those from the repository (and those on the releases page), just to stay in the clear.
I don't think this is correct in any modern legal theory of a major country.
Appeals to ignorance or bad intentions are not good arguments to do away with a good system that simultaneously leads to improved public health and rapists in jail IMO. If people are avoiding it and its leading to poorer outcomes for those newborns with criminal parents, then all the more reason to make this sort of screening mandatory, much like how its a good idea to mandate vaccinations even if it steps on the toes of the poorly informed in the process.
Parking Lot solar makes a huge amount of sense. Not only does it create power, but it creates shade for the parked vehicles and cuts down on the amount of heat absorbing blacktop visible to the sun. The suburbs are absolutely covered in parking lots that could be converted. Nobody is going to complain that the solar array is despoiling the aesthetics of the suburban parking lot either.

Really the only downside is that people will crash their cars into the support structures. It is inevitable, and needs to be accounted for in the design.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, but Signal 100% stores your contacts. They keep your name, your photo, your phone number, and a list of every person you've contacted using Signal. That data is permanently stored on their servers.

See: https://community.signalusers.org/t/can-signal-please-update...

> "This should be updated for the recent changes where contacts are uploaded to Signal’s servers and stored permanently along with Groups V2 and other data, protected by a 4-digit minimum PIN and Intel SGX – there have been concerns 5 raised 2 in these forums, particularly if one of your contacts chooses a brute-forceable PIN which in the context of an Intel SGX vulnerability 1 could leak a lot of contact data if hacked, even if you choose a strong password."

See the two links sited in that comment for more information on why it isn't actually stored in "secure" way.

I live in Oregon and slightly over 1/2 of the state is federal or state owned land which cannot be purchased. Even out in the middle of nowhere, there are still massive transmission lines carrying electricity from one part of the state to another through these areas. This is often in fairly mountainous terrain and dense forests. I'm often in awe at how much work they have to go through to keep the area immediately around these lines clear of trees and vegetation. I explore forest roads quite a bit. This is just to point out that we've been doing that type of thing for a long time and I don't think transmission itself is tremendously difficult. We just lack the will.
Oh I appreciate its different, that's not my complaint, the UX is just a heavy learning curve that sours the entire experience for something that is actually a decent device. It feels like its built by engineers where having things a certain way makes sense to geeks, where as iOS is built by designers to work for the masses.

I suppose this is where I get the feel that iOS is more modern.

Pulling the app draw and searching battery doesn't work. I've tried it again. Not sure what I've done wrong. I can search in settings itself, but given I'm already half way there, I don't really need to search from there.

They really should have tried harder on this one.
One of the issues in this case is that police did not have a warrant at the time they obtained the baby's DNA sample. They were unable to get one because they did not have probable cause that any individual had committed the crime. And certainly the baby could not have committed the crime, which occurred before it was born.

It was only after the state lab gave them the baby's DNA sample that they were able to establish probable cause and get a warrant for the father.
Is there an open platform with an ARM processor that has the same caliber of hardware performance / efficiency of M1? If so, I'd rather use that with Linux instead of Apple's locked-down hardware.

Yes, from Robert Virding, one of Erlang's co-creators, from the Erlang mailing-list, from 2008 [0]:

After reading the blogs about how good Erlang's concurrency model is and how
we just just made a super implementation of it in XXX I have been led to
formulate Virding's First Rule of Programming:

Any sufficiently complicated concurrent program in another language contains
an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of
Erlang.

This is, of course, a mild travesty of Greenspun (*) but I think it is
fundamental enough to be my first rule, not the tenth.
