I don’t recall why that decision was made, but there could be a couple reasons.

First, it isn’t easy technically. Especially back when you’re designing the very first decentralized cryptocurrency and have no prior experience informing your design. ZCash, Monero, MimbleWimble and others came later after learning from Bitcoin, and there’s zero chance they could have come first.

Second, shielded transactions risk undetected inflation bugs, which actually happened to ZCash some years ago.

Third, Bitcoin was designed shortly after the Liberty Dollar founder was arrested and jailed, and everyone in Bitcoin was concerned about that too, including Satoshi. He may have decided just not to push his luck.

I don't think it qualifies as an "opposite", because enforced standards also create consumer choice sometimes.

Case in point: The enforced standardising of mobile phone chargers has given consumers more choice of chargers to use with their phone. Thas proven quite useful in practice, e.g. when they leave the one that came with their device at home because they didn't expect to need it, or when the manufacturer's own brand is more expensive than an alternative, or if they have an old phone.

I remember before USB-C standardised phone power, when visiting someone the chance that they had a power supply you could use was very low, because each one used a different connector. Even different models from the same brand. If you went travelling at short notice, you might have to buy a second charger just to keep you going for a few days. That's no longer required. Over the years you would end up with a box full of incompatible chargers, all e-waste. I think I have about 10.

This particular consumer benefit didn't happen voluntarily among manufacturers (unlike, say, SIM cards), so forcing it has increased consumer choice in some useful respects.

I prefer Apple's lightning connector (even though I don't have an iPhone), and other connectors better than USB-C would surely emerge if allowed to, so I do see benefits in not enforcing a standard like that too strictly. But the situation before USB-C mobile power was less consumer choice not more, for consumers of almost every phone.

Ryobi are actually the first batteries that I genuinely dislike; I have 8 year old Black & Decker drill whose battery still works great. Similar experience with some other manufacturers. But we went all-in on Ryobi at Home Depot a few years ago, and we now have to buy 2-4 new batteries a year. Then after 12-18 months, the battery shows as defective on its charger.... brutal.

I noticed this issue last night while trying to call WhatsApp numbers in India from the UK (no Iranian numbers involved). I got the same error message: "Couldn't place call because your device is connected to a Wi-Fi network that prevents WhatsApp calls. Connect to a different network or turn Wi-Fi off." I wonder if that was collateral damage from the Iranian block.

MS engineer who worked on Lync. I feel like the Skype acquisition was poorly handed too, but interesting how the perceptions differ.

We were folded into the Skype org, with Tony Bates -who I maintain had no idea what he was doing- reporting to Ballmer. Fine. But he and his henchman (Mark something?) embarked on a quest to make everyone do by-the-book Scrum. That, screwing around with corelib, and the ill-omened liveid migration process meant that Skype didn't improve in any way users cared about for several years. Meanwhile, the competitive landscape changed and the only Skype feature anyone ever used - being able to call your grandma in another country for cheap or free - lost its differentiation. It was clearly over by the time my mom told me she had whatsapp.

Nobody I knew had any animus towards Skype engineers and we were entirely willing to help... but what anyone actually wanted was kind of unclear.

I don't think you need videos with extreme levels of annotations as this article suggests.

If a model is already trained on lots of images and captions, it would probably be possible to just feed it tons of whatever video and let it figure out the rest itself.
For outdoor use electrically heated clothing also has another great benefit - it broadens the useful temperature range of the clothing that you're wearing.

I fly an open cockpit aircraft (an Autogyro). In the winter months I wear a soft-shell flightsuit, with an Ororo electrically heated Gilet underneath. The flightsuit itself is very warm, and the gilet provides extra insulation over my torso even when off. This is sufficient to keep me warm most of the time, but then if it does get colder I can just turn on the Gilet the appropriate amount and I'll be cosy. The heating elements are close to my skin with both the gilet and flightsuit insulation on the outside so the heat stays in where it's needed.

This setup works anywhere from "slight winter chill" down to "as cold as I have encountered". And because my core is so warm, I don't even have to have too much in the way of gloves (I use some hand knitted merino roll top mittens so I can still use the controls easily).
They most likely move there either because some company offered them a pile of money or they want to start a company and there's more funding there.

Admittedly it's been almost a year since I tried it, but:

* If you have more than 65,535 words in a document, words after that limit will be SILENTLY IGNORED (not indexed). This was 1,000 words when I tried it, which was very limiting

* Documents where your query word happens sooner are ranked above documents where your query words happen later (in the document string). You can't turn that off

* You can't get the "match" information (i.e. the position where your query matched in the document) unless you retrieve that attribute (i.e. tell the database to send you the entire document content)

* The API uses HTTP verbs wrong, e.g. POST is used to "Add or replace documents" and PUT is used to update documents (it's exactly backwards from the intended use, per RFC 7231)

This is actually one of the more important aspects in publishing. But its not so much the author themselves being sellable, its the built in sales they might have from their social media audience. The conversion rate from marketing to their own audience is much higher than otherwise, and is enough for even small publishers to justify an initial print run of a niche book.
It's amazing how much of end-to-end travel time is NOT the plane flying. It would be much more cost-effective to optimize everything besides the actual flight time for almost all flights. Things like:

* Airport-to-city travel time

* Airport security time

* Optimize boarding (very straightforward solutions but require passenger education)

* Speeding up taxiing / takeoff sequencing (not sure how but there's gotta be a better way than what we do now)

Each of those are challenging but would be more impactful (and more solvable?) than supersonic flight time!

$99/user/month is already quite steep to get improved visual widgets in pull requests, such as the licensing, vulnerability UIs. Especially, when you don't use the ticketing functionality of GitLab SaaS as you can't have group-wide tickets. Especially, when you need to contribute merge requests to a paying product to get support for popular package managers.

Personally, I think, needing to pay a lot more to get the same spec runners (same memory and two vCPUs) is not really competitive to compared to Github. I had hoped it Medium would become the standard runner instead of Small so it would be comparable to Github at least for the Premium and Ultimate customers. The idea of using SaaS is that you don't need to worry about self-managed runners.

Especially, when you compare it with the beta announcement from Github that they are introducing more powerful runners: https://github.blog/2022-09-01-github-actions-introducing-th...

>Characterizing the riot as being ended by a "single gunshot" is misleading, at best: there is no evidence that the majority of rioters were aware that someone had been shot, much less killed, until hours or days after the Capitol had been cleared.

I don't either. I shake my head when I read people making the rebuttal that it's not the government censoring you so it's kosher.

So, to get this straight, do people actually think that a profit driven corporation being more powerful than the government is a good thing?

I don't get it AT ALL.
Hi Everyone! I’m a co-founder at Decipad. Love the support and excitement for what we’re building! We’re currently collaborating with a small group of early access users. Come say hi on Discord.

No, there was a limit in the early days (0.16777215 BTC for channels, 0.04294967 BTC payments) but it’s been optimal for about two years.

Direct peers are only limited by channel capacity, and the biggest nodes (exchanges like Bitfinex) keep 5+ BTC public channels (could be much larger unannounced channels).

As far as routing larger payments across the network, the Loop service handles 1.2 BTC swaps today:

Their goal was to get a bunch of users. Their team figured out how, and went out and got a bunch of users very rapidly. Mission accomplished. Microsoft was very happy.

Oh– It's a buggy video call solution and poor replacement for Slack? Yeah, not important.

They're at over 270m users in an ecosystem of 350m Office 365 users. There's no "less buggy version of Teams" out there with market share to attract by making minor improvements to the software.

It does exactly what it's supposed to, and what Skype for Business already did. The biggest thing moving the roadmap forward is Teams capability to do "Office 365 Enablement" - i.e. win new users into the Office 365 ecosystem.

There's a lot of things Microsoft can do to accomplish that. Some of them may be new Teams features. Some of them are tweaks to pricing and bundling and other unsexy things like that. Some of them may eventually be bug fixes or fun features that make Teams more enjoyable to use.

But, at this point, your best chance of getting minor features built, is to hope internal Microsoft employees find it annoying enough to prioritize, just so they can see the feature fixed.

Because Teams does what it's supposed to, decently well, and well enough to succeed massively in the marketplace for "generic video call software I don't have to pay a bunch of extra money for".

> the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, where the FBI lied to Facebook to get it suppressed

According to this, the FBI didn’t even mention the laptop story when they talked to Facebook:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62688532.amp
Huh. I think you're right. Though, zerotier uses central servers, has a significant performance hit compared to a wireguard solution, and is an L2 rather than L3 solution (the last isn't really a downside though).
I took a long break (maybe 5 years or so) but I have recently started using both FB and Instagram and have been surprised at how positive my time has been on these platforms. On FB I have been finding interesting local groups and events (just moved to a new city) and on Instagram, I have been enjoying seeing updates from real friends.

On the other hand I recently deleted Twitter from my phone. I love twitter for getting interesting infromation and staying up to date with news, but the whole culture there has just turned into cheap dunking on one another, and its just guaranteed to leave you feeling angry about something. Extremely disruptive to mental state.

I spend some time on the TikTok-like products as well (youtube shorts / fb reels) and have found them to be just a really easy way to completely waste an hour for no reason whatsoever. Less disruptive to mental state than twitter though.
if you dont include a mute, i will boycott every single website that uses your product.
> Why not build a social network...?

Because social networks have this chicken-egg problem in which you need to bring a given critical mass of users, and you can't predict their number, but it must have enough gravity to attract more users and keep growth.

I failed my own business-focused SN for that reason, even after attracting companies such as Sherwin-Williams and some taxi cab companies. That was a few years before The Social Network movie, before people started caring about privacy and ads. It was easy back then.
No.

He said that the FBI informed Facebook that there were likely to be fraudulent stories regarding the election pushed by foreign influence. Facebook concluded that the laptop story matched this general theme and decided on their own what to do.
I see! makes sense. Will try it
I don't understand the evil-capitalist rationale for that. I would think reddit, like facebook, gets much of its revenue (or viewership, that turns into revenue) from people squabbling over the topic of the day/month/year and thus benefits from outrage at skeptics. Why not keep them around?

Anecdotally I've found if I just say something relatively unbacked or 'stupid sounding' that the mainstream can easily attack to make my argument sound dumb, I don't get the ban/removal. It's only when you present a factual argument, and especially if you start winning people over, that reddit is especially quick to ban you.

I've noticed this same progression on HN. If I lose the debate due to not enough facts/persuasion, then people tend to leave it at that and rest satisfied they put an idiot in their place -- why would they want that comment removed when it can stay there as a head on a spike. If I introduce facts but they are unpopular, it will get downvoted to hell and people seem satisfied with that. However, if I actually start winning people over then my comment gets flagged, because we can't allow the wrong view to 'win.'
I don't think they'd be a fucking hero. They'd be hung by the media, strangled by the academic peers and rejected by the society.
