And whenever there is a post (rightfully, IMO) criticizing crypto, you get the predictable "you all just hate crypto you luddites!" responses.

I didn't originally despise crypto. I remember reading the original bitcoin whitepaper and thinking how genius it was. But I did come to loath crypto over time for 3 reasons:

1. As has been abundantly clear, crypto seems to be a haven for all sorts of hucksters and fraudsters looking for an easy way to commit their fraud, while adding nothing of value.

2. Crypto has developed into this weird cult where people actually believe the meme-y nonsense of r/Bitcoin.

3. Most importantly, though, I came to understand that the fundamental reason for crypto to exist, that you can have irreversible transactions without needing a trusted middle man, is a horrible idea. My favorite very recent simple example of this: Crypto.com is suing a woman to recoup $7 million they accidentally refunded to her because an employee put the account number into the amount field. I.e., they made a payment mistake, and to rectify that mistake they are using the time-honored court system to make judgements about who actually deserves the funds. Crypto.com should be thanking their lucky stars they didn't refund her in actual crypto...

been on fastmail a long time but heres what i did:

1.i switched emails over as i logged in so it wasnt as daunting. i did move over biggies like banking and daily stuff immediately
2. later i setup gmail to forward all mail to <gmail at my domain> so i dont miss the stray actual email to old address

thats it. 12 domains and zero problems later! i should mention, fastmails spam filter on the default settings is doing drastically better than gmail did for a publicly posted email
It’s going to be an unpopular opinion, but caring about what people want is a luxury that we just won’t have (to anywhere near the extent we have it today) in the near future as climate change continues.

Many millions of people in the US are going to have kids and grandkids who have a drastically different life than they imagine for them. And not in a good way.
Cool story! For anyone who has been in the competitive speech and debate community for a while (or has ever encountered tech trouble), this a similar thrill/challenge as hand-pairing rounds, keeping side constraints, pull-ups, etc. in mind.
It is a completely absurd conundrum. You can’t on one hand be a libertarian turd living in the fire interface demanding independence from taxation and government and on the same hand demand support from the government when you have to deal with the realities of the situation you created for yourself.

I have sympathy for anyone who has lived through a disaster because I have as well.

The only feeling I had after my disaster was that I wish my government was better funded and more well run because the haphazard mess we have now is wildly dysfunctional. That and a little anxiety but it gets better.

Don’t live in the west in the mountains if you aren’t prepared for wildfires. It’s beautiful, sure, but it is wildly unsustainable. You are more or less on your own.
thats my only gripe too, however setting one up in the search ui appears to let you run it on existing mail as a workaround

Its not working though. Trump got elected and Bernie was very close to clinching the nomination. Italy just elected a far right candidate and lets not forget Brexit. If this strategy would actually work, the trend would be going in the opposite direction. At this rate it may just be a matter of time until the Elite's stores of values get "reset".
I listened to the same, but had the impression that he deviated from mainstream economics' free market consensus.

(That's probably a better term than the rather imprecise left/right shorthand.)

He seems to have a soft spot for 'industrial policy'.

Eg when he discussed the rise of Chinese photovoltaic, and the relative decline of German efforts.
Please, share your new “data”, by all means! US is only a net energy exporter due to the extremely damaging practice of fracking (thanks, Obama). Try powering our vehicles with that. We’re still a net importer of oil.

LinkedIn API Help for App
1. is there anyway to pull in the LinkedIn credentials automatically (on SSO people are forgetting their login credentials) then cannot get in the app
2. is there any way right now to import more of the profile from LinkedIn so people don't have to create a new profile? (now we can only import name, photo & email from LinkedIn)
3. Can a connection request be initiated from the app (without going on LinkedIn until going on to accept)?
Thx - jo@noww.co

It matters because it gives us an idea as to their future actions in subsequent elections. I know that Trump has caused a lot of damage but these voters vote based on how pissed off they are at the candidate. I'd bet if Michelle Obama ran they might vote her in.
Also very latin-centric. I remember reading of an alternative artificial language that was easier for Chinese/Arabic speakers but I cannot recall the name.

My father and I purchased all our consumer electronics at Radio Shack back in the day. I had a full line of gadgets: microcassette recorders, RC vehicles, a 2" battery handheld LCD TV, cables, batteries, you name it. The clerk at the mall, Jon, was like my best friend; we had long meandering conversations. Hopefully they were mostly about electronics, I guess. Of course he knew how to sell me the good stuff!

However, my family never owned a single Tandy system. First we picked up an Atari VCS, and it stayed at Grandma's, because Mom was afraid we'd mess up the color TV. For reasons I cannot recall, we became a Commodore family with the purchase of a VIC-20 for my exclusive use, hooked up to the very living-room TV that was precious to Mom and Dad.

I hardly had any contact with Tandy computers, other than the one on display at Radio Shack. School computers were TI-99/4a, then there were C64s at high school; the family friend owned an Apple ][e, my girlfriend in the mid-90s was an Amiga girl, and I just never had occasion to lay hands on a Tandy. Oh well!

> "steadily beating the S&P 500 for over a year on a weekly basis"

If you're going to make a claim like that, you should actually follow up with the calculations. When you do that, you'll realize that the issue is quite a bit more complex than this shallow dismissal.

He has very low correlation to the index, which means he's not just levering beta and getting lucky on a trending market. His standard deviation is smaller than the index, which means he didn't just make one large and lucky bet. The evidence that he has real alpha is certainly not incontrovertible, but the numbers look quite good.

It also doesn't appear that he cherry picked his reporting/aggregation cadence, because he sent out a weekly newsletter ex ante, and all his stats are reported weekly. He could still just be lucky, but his numbers are much better than this sort of dismissal would imply.

One real risk is that, in some implicit way, he's pursing a negatively-skewed strategy. That is, one that has a latent large downside risk. Strategies like this can produce very good looking numbers for longish periods, but still have ultimately negative alpha. Judging whether or not that is the case here is hard without more detail, but nothing he says in the writeup indicates to me that that is the case here.
It possibly is in Russia's interests. If they predict that Europe is on the verge of successfully becoming energy independent and the demise of NS2 through non-sabotage means is all but an inevitability at this point, then it's optimal for them to use that sunk cost for their own benefit, in this case framing the Ukrainians or US in order to turn Europe against Ukraine or to fracture NATO an EU cohesion by stoking distrust.

It's an intelligent leveraging of a sunk cost when most don't realize it's a sunk cost or don't understand the concept of sunk costs.
Microsoft is bankrolling some efforts to improve Python performance. They even hired Guido for that.

(Disclosure: I'm a very minor volunteer contributor to that effort. I have a series of pull requests in the works that will improve runtime performance by about 1% across the board. I also have some more specialised improvements to memory.)
I haven't forgotten anything. Those incidents don't constitute attacks on Russia.
I think the real reason states don't typically do this is that we rely on undersea cables and pipelines for a lot so it is not a good idea to throw stones from glass houses.
You can apply the new-style filters against existing emails in the "preview" window. That won't help if you're heavily using custom Sieve scripts, but it does handle a lot of common scenarios for me.

Agreed. I'm past the "it's like writing pseudo-code - so cool!" honeymoon phase and onto the "some sort of static typing is actually pretty useful" as a developer.

> Residents of rural communities are “pissed off,” Weber said with her characteristic, sometimes foul-mouthed frankness. “They feel the pain that they no longer can live the life they wanted to live.”

This quote makes me tremendously unsympathetic. The overwhelming majority of people have to compromise their lives in one way or another, and "have you considered living in a small town that isn't in a wildfire zone" is hardly anything compared to what some people have to deal with.

Yes. That's exactly the point! Same with imaginary numbers! And all sorts of other concepts. Such as different magnitudes of "infinity", which is what this post was about, what George Cantor studied, and the topic which prompted the quote! Everything other than the integers is just philosophy made up by consciousness.

At least when Flash was common, full-Flash sites were not really as common as JS-only SPAs today, and it was easy to just block embedded plugins by default and only enable when necessary for some particular interactive element. In other words, plugins provided a clear separation between the "document browser" and the "very interactive", but with today's "JS everywhere", that distinction is getting more blurred and difficult to tease apart.
It's invasive and draining. I'd have to worry about looking like I'm paying attention the whole time, couldn't do dishes or anything like that, I'd have to make sure I'm wearing something work appropriate (no going shirtless), and I'd have to be careful about what I put in my surroundings.
Vonnegut is probably my favorite author, and this is maybe the thing he's written that I like the least.
Exactly. Russian policy frequently follows this philosophy of "a sinking tide lowers all boats, so long as ours is lowered a little bit less, we win." They're happy to burn the world down as long as they end up a little less burnt than everybody else. Does it make sense? Probably not. But that's how they've been acting.

Shush pedant and relate to things with the rest of us using stuff we already understand
The base with temperature control and a fine-ish tip is what makes them good, I think. The older Radio Shack pencil soldering irons had a fat tip, one temperature.

The nicer stations like Hakko's have very nice metallurgy in their tips as well.

As soon as you get a station too there's a little sponge, maybe some metal wool — these things you can use to clean the tip of the soldering iron. That in itself encourages good soldering hygiene and makes for better soldering.
Apparently this (the idea that telling the truth is necessarily not libelous) is untrue in some jurisdictions? Or perhaps they fear that they are not 100% correct?

RSD Academy has been all sorts of messed up after Google flagged the guy's photos. He had the rsdacademy.net domain hosted with Google and lost access to that. He lost access to the YouTube account that handled all of the academy videos. He lost docs for his draft textbook. Granted, he probably should have not tied everything to a personal account. On the other hand, Google shouldn't be able to lock everything.

It's not that the bonds are flipping, but rather that each bond is kind of half a C-C single bond and half a C=C double bond--more of an average 1½ bond. This makes a lot more sense when you start getting into full-blown molecular orbital theory.
This seems concerning.

Is this going to be a new problem that the gov is not equipped to deal with? Are we going to need to be on high alert that one day the IRS is going to alert me that my tax bracket is 37% because of my income from the 6 jobs I'm working?
Then it will take months or years of legal battles to "prove" I didn't actually work 6 full time jobs this year.

I think this is more of an indicator of the economy as a whole than an issue with an actual decrease in consumer desire for new phone upgrades.

Yeah same. I have found a strong correlation between people who always(not sometimes) have camera off and people who are average-to-poor at their jobs and end up getting let go. It’s a decent indicator of someone who is checked out or mediocre.
It’s such a low effort thing to do, and shows respect to your colleagues. If you can’t be bothered doing that… (obviously excluding folk who have legitimate reasons, but that’s a tiny %)
I checked my billing history with Fastmail, and it looks like I've been a customer since 2014. I've never regretted it. I have two emails with GB of space each. I love the web interface, I love the 2fa options, I love android app. All of its clients have easy account switching. Family set up is easy. Custom domain set up is easy. I couldn't see myself using any other service.

I have to use gmail for work and it is not great. Confusing tabs, sidebar re-arranged, some kind of interest based twitter feed order for my email. And it's always bugging me to use Chrome, which I don't.
There's a specific comment here that is especially suspicious to me, but I didn't want to pry.
Russia has over 50k KIA and have lost many thousands of heavy vehicles, aircraft and even battleships. Hundreds of these vehicles are now being used against them by the Ukrainians.
Russia may get support from Iran or N. Korea but so what? The support is in the form of equipment generations behind what is being delivered to Ukraine by the US and on tap to arrive from Europe. They are about to send 300k untrained men in as cannon fodder. These men will just be chewed up. Ukraine will definitely experience setbacks but Russia is going to be set back as a regional power for at least a generation. Thousands of men are fleeing Russia to avoid being drafted. Ukraine has reclaimed thousands of square KM of terrain in the last few weeks.

The Russian gas pipelines were just destroyed; meaning that for Europe, yielding to Putin's energy blackmail is not even an option anymore, he has nothing to offer now. They will support Ukraine as they find other energy partners. Italy just secured a source from N. Africa. The US will now become a major energy supplier to Europe, costing the Russians long term. The Russian economy is flailing and they cannot even replace parts required to keep their vehicles running.

Most importantly on a global scale, the illusion that they are a near US military peer has been destroyed. Sweden and Finland shrugged at Russian threats and joined NATO. Russia has been exposed as a weak, poorly led military that would get steam rolled by Europe even without US boots on the ground. The united states would obliterate them. The only card they have is nukes, besides that they are weak. Russia likely becomes a vassal state to China.

If this is Russia winning then yes, you are correct.
The exception to this is ~2009 era BMWs with professional Nav, which feels just as snappy and good as my 2022 replacement for it. My large survey of a decade of rental cars suggests that almost nothing else has a screen that isn’t blurry.
It’s down to 11 with Xcode 14 ;)
I love seeing these projects but can't imagine what in the world I'd do with one of these devices. Small computers that don't benefit from the mobile UX tradeoffs and don't quite have keyboards or screens or a hinge to support putting it down and typing on it.

They're cute though. If you had one, what would you be doing with it?
For what it's worth, the Zoom Linux client didn't have decent support for virtual backgrounds (i.e. without requiring a green screen) until the 5.7.6 release in August 2021.

I can also understand how Windows and Mac users might be hesitant to put their full trust in the technology, as it does occasionally glitch and blur out more or less than it should. Virtual Backgrounds also don't really help with poor lighting, or pandemic induced weight gain, etc.

So would say it's not that they didn't understand how virtual backgrounds work - just they were aware of their limitations and decided to err on the side of being lenient toward employees during a stressful period in a lot of peoples' lives.
Putin is acting as irrationally as JFK did during the Cuban missile crisis.
There is also China and maybe India. With the pipeline gone for good, Russia has to sell to them. No other market.

But all this speculation depends on how damaged the pipeline is. I haven't seen any info on how long a repair would take.
Ah, Encyclopedia Britannica - the British Empire, having established the Anglican ecclesial community in defiance of Rome, mortal ancient enemies of the Spanish Empire. I'm sure they have no motive to embellish black legends about the Romish Church and English Catholics like St. Thomas More and William Shakespeare were perfectly safe to practice their faith and attend Popish Masses and priests never needed to hide from British authorities. Yeah, totally unbiased source, that Britannica. God save the King.
I wish they made a 17inch open source laptop, even if it was slow. I don't think I could use that thing.
I think I agree with you, but I need a clear definition of "cheaper."

To me, "cheaper" means that companies are putting fewer resources into Windows-specific app development. That's not unexpected, given large portions of their user base are using MacOS, Android, or iOS. Why would I hire 8 developers to make 4 apps, when I could hire 6 developers to make make 3 or even 2 apps? Oh, as an added bonus, now my app can also be loaded straight from a browser, no installation necessary? And I don't have nagging complaints from small-market-share users (Linux and BSD) complaining that my app doesn't work on their machines? Seems like a no-brainer.

From a business perspective, if the end product is good enough that the customers don't complain, what reason is there to not* use web technologies?

Don't get me wrong, I hate that half the software I use today is just a glorified Chrome tab. I hate how I need 16GB of RAM to do my job.

Look, gullible know-nothings actually believed and could not stop themselves from parroting endlessly that coal mines and infrastructure around the world were dead, killed by renewables. Renewables were cheaper, coal was dead -- that was the complete story in their minds.

They were just led astray by misinformation from special interests, and they were wrong.

The same people have also been claiming that nuclear is dead, killed by renewbales. Their credibility speaks for itself.

No need to reply with apologetics, or arguments about something I didn't say.
Really, either speculation is equally valid (or should I say, invalid) without:

(1) An understanding of the facts of how successful the EU has been at diversifying away from Russian gas and whether NS2's natural demise was all but an inevitability.

(2) How much the repairs will cost.

If the repair costs are low, it's probably Russia, because of the propaganda value.

If NS2's demise was highly likely, again probably Russia because they're leveraging a sunk cost to their benefit which is just smart.

But so many people are making confident assumptions about (1) and (2) in this thread. If you don't know the answer to those questions, stop forming strong opinions!
There should at least be a way to use the funds in escrow for legal defense.
You would never put it on? I think it’s fine if you turn it off because it’s a huge call or you’re occasionally doing the dishes or whatever, but always off is disrespectful to your colleagues imho.
This was really popular in Ragnarok Online. Some custom servers allowed you to max out immediately and get any item / skill builds you wanted in order to experiment with crazy PVP builds.
