There's no botanical difference between crabapples and "normal" apples per se it's the same plant just crabapples are allowed to let the wonky apple genetics deal do its thing. So what kind of crabapple you get is just random, some taste better than anything you can buy, most are hard sour and astringent. Apples are also like this if planted from seed and left alone.

And because of the size they have a higher skin-to-flesh ratio which does make them a little bitter but also more complexly flavored if you balance it out. And for the same reason they have more pectin and cook up thicker, which is good for pies once you account for it and ideal for jams.

So yeah overall I agree, people should taste the crabapples around them and see what they can score. It's one of the most easy/fun/accessible/practical intros to urban foraging for sure.

Using cancelled cards and filing chargebacks is a good way to get banned from that vendor. Maybe you don't ever want to do business with Amazon again and more power to you, but if you do you're better off arguing with their folk over "just" cancelling the card.

Good points about the person being impersonated subject to (completely involuntary) risks. I probably should have phrased my question to specifically ask about situations where the impersonated is involved and asked to participate in the scheme. I would agree that it's not OK to just... start using someone else's identity without permission.

In sibling comments, some other great points were made about the risk profile for the company if you do this without their knowledge. I'm less convinced that I should care about risk towards the company, but from a legal standpoint it probably holds up.

Yes, that part might benefit from more constraints.

>When does growth stop ?

>As a ... parent

Why did you contribute to the growth?
I’m a contractor and I don’t get this attitude. It’s my responsibility as a contractor to do the things I agree to do and if I can’t do them due to whatever reason, be upfront about that as soon as possible. In fact as a contractor that’s pretty much my only responsibility. I’ve definitely worked with people who weren’t good managers and had projects not work out but what parent is describing is just flat out fraud.

Can crypto make the world a better place?
I don’t think Windows is ever going to be left behind, you still need a kernel to make use of all your hardware and an OS to give users something to do. I view this move as Microsoft recognizing that the future of most development is cross-platform web technologies and they need to give Windows users reasons not to migrate to macOS and ChromeOS (though it’s ok if they do as long as they’re paying for O365 and Azure).

If they'd inflated the valuation of some crypto thing, they'd have the crypto crowd cheering them on. But they did it with something people understand, a deli. So it's obvious the value was inflated.

The SEC brings the hammer down on about two crypto scams a month. This month, Sparkster, Ltd., and Chicago Crypto Capital, Inc. Last month, Dragonchain, Bloom, and Crypto Crusaders.

The SEC is still working on the crypto scams of 2018-2019. Remember Initial Coin Offerings? There's a big backlog of those. So they haven't gotten to NFTs and DeFi yet. Soon, though. The SEC just doubled their crypto enforcement staff.

With NFTs, if you sell something that already exists, it's a collectable. That's probably OK. If you sell something that doesn't exist yet, such as metaverse land for a metaverse that isn't running, that's probably not OK. That's a security offering. See "Howey Test".

This is baffling to me.

Investors make their own valuations to figure if something is actually cheaper or more expensive than other people make it.

It is literally the whole point of investing -- you are trying to figure out if what you are getting for your money is more valuable than the cash in hand.

Russia's greatest leverage was Europe needing their gas, and eventually agreeing to stop supporting Ukraine in order to get the gas turned back on.

Now if the pipelines are destroyed, no matter how cold and angry citizens in the EU get, EU leadership has no reason to give in to Russian since that now won't get the gas turned back on.

If anything, this points to Ukraine or the US doing it.

It really is an oversimplification to apply modern standards of property ownership to this situation. Egyptian history, like most history, is the story of might-makes-right usurpation. It’s easy to paint the French rediscoverers as looters, but the Ottoman administration they took the stone from were not exactly what we would call the rightful rulers either. Is it part of the cultural heritage of the Egyptian peoples? Yes, sort of, and that’s what makes it complicated. I say sort of because the cultural continuity from the stone’s origin to 1799 is somewhat suspect - the stone was being used as building material, with no recognized historic value. Hieroglyphics had been utterly forgotten. So yes, it is part of Egyptian history, but it’s also part of French and British history. It’s complicated.

I've had this happen in the real world.

In this case it was a GraphQL implementation that gradually grew in size, complexity and scope. The team maintaining it never adjusted the initial resource requirements within about 2 years because it has never been a problem - until a different (much larger by total CPU allocated) service started consuming all the bursting it could get and the GraphQL service just stopped processing requests. Before any autoscaling could kick in, it went into CrashLoopBackoff with failing liveness.

You can and should catch such cases early with monitoring, but our platform team was extremely tiny, especially for how many developers it served.

I don't think they're doing this because they just upload your contact list to their database so the "caller ID" feature works better. It wouldn't make sense for them to sell their database because then they might end up helping a competitor.

Of course that doesn't make these practices right
I have a similar experience. Programming is best learned by typing, but not good for example, materials science notes, those were better written out by hand.

For some of my undergrad courses we were allowed a 'cheat sheet' which is a single 8.5"x11" sheet of paper that we could write anything we wanted on and could bring in to the exam. It became a skill to carefully put an entire course's worth of information on a single sheet. But for me, interestingly, once I had made this sheet I rarely referred to it in the test. The act of making it was enough for me to remember most of it.
That’s a real problem, of course, but it seems fairly equivalent to any native app you install that can update itself or otherwise make a network request to obtain instructions.

I’ll be updating my blog post to reflect this and probably writing a follow up post as well.
The bottom line is that Electron is portable. Unless native apps become as portable as Electron there will be a need for this layer.

> Chess is a game of symbol manipulation. It isn't played in the real world and its rules don't require human bodies the way field sports do.

I didn't mean "humanoid" as in "C3PO sitting across from the player at a table", I meant humanoid thought processes.

As far as I know, none of the chess engines are humanoid in the way they determine the next best move.

For one, they are all using far, far more instant-recall capacity than any human, ever.

> its rules don't require human bodies the way field sports do.

Which rule in football, tennis, american football, baseball, basketball or hockey requires humanoid players?

They may preclude robots as players, but that's a post-hoc fallacy - "they require all players to be humans, so therefore robots cannot replace humans like in Chess".

The answer is you cannot.

There are probably thousands, if not tens of thousands, of schemes and scams going on like this at any given time. They happen so often because there is so little enforcement. The SEC only goes after the most egregious offenders.

And what a lot of people don't realize is that the SEC can not bring criminal charges… which is what most people think of when they read, "SEC charges." But the SEC can only bring civil action. While they can recommend a case to the DOJ, they rarely do. Maybe someone else knows why? Because I don't.

With $40,000 in real revenue, this is a case of people with nothing to lose. They bet big and lost. The penalty is basically go back to zero… which is pretty close to where they started.

One of the reasons I truly believe (perhaps misguided) in more equitable distributions of wealth is that I believe it would massively cut down on scams… of which everything seems to be these days. If people were not so desperate, and they risked losing something (UBI, their benefits, and the quality if life that could provide, etc.) maybe every other thing wouldn't be a freaking scam or scheme of some sort.

Disclaimer: I have become extremely jaded, particularly in the post-COVID world. I see a new coffee shop open up and I instantly start to wonder, "What manner of scam is going on here?"

Honestly, the timing doesn't make sense. I'd maybe the US blowing the pipelines a year ago when it looked as though NS2 might conceivably go online, but given how frosty relationships are right now between the EU and Russia, and given the scramble to wean Europe off Russian gas-dependency already is in progress, there just doesn't appear to be much of a point, not in the short term and not in the long term.

Something, something, "put the armour where the holes aren't."

If you are selling a lot of phones and tablets and laptops with your apps and platforms as they are, you don't want to invest billions in making them better just to make your existing customers stop complaining. They bought your product anyways, clearly whatever they're complaining about wasn't a deal-breaker.

You only want to invest in your own apps and platforms in areas where improvements would drive meaningful business outcomes. So you need to look at features that would cause someone who would otherwise buy a Samsung phone to buy an iPhone. Or you need to find people who didn't but an iPhone or iPad or AppleTV or OS X laptop and figure out if there is something that can be added to the product to get people to switch.

In the case of a dominant player like Apple, those are hard to find in the mainline product. Big new sources of revenue are most likely to come from entirely new product areas (thus their investment in phones, watches, tablets, and set-top boxes) or from going down-market and making commodity products.

They're allergic to cutting margins to the bone, so we're left with trying to find new markets, and that is why they invest so much in an automobile skunkworks while being much more careful about investing in the products that are already successful.

Writing bash scripts is really not that difficult - despite what folks might want to convince you of.

ShellCheck is a great tool, yes, and can be run natively inside your IDE. Just like any language, you need to learn the language and learn it's tools.

Blanket statements like "write all your scripts in python because there's less bugs" really just means the commenter is more familiar with python. Do enough script writing and you'll realize how absurd that statement is.

It's a lot like the folks that scream nobody should ever write a single line of C or C++ because it's "dangerous" - yet untold number of lines of C/C++ are written every day. A pencil can be dangerous in the wrong hands...

Tampering with theft prevention devices can be its own charge or simply be used to show intent. The reason for anti-theft devices like this isn't so much to physically prevent theft, as to require shoplifters to exhibit intent BEFORE leaving the store. If AP catches a person tampering with them then they can be arrested without having to wait for them to walk past the cashiers and doors.

You don't get the same exposure from working in a shop soldering all day than from the occasional hobby project. And if you have a simple fan, you are already doing more than most hobbyists.

Safety is not priceless. Regulators carefully calculate how much impact various safety equipment and practices have relative to their cost. And you too should consider how much you need it. Solder for hours a day, get the best fume extractor you can find, do a hobby project every other month, you can go cheap.

Anyways, I wonder if a simple small desk fan fitted with a surgical mask you probably have too much of would be a good compromise of simple, cheap, and better than nothing for hobbyists.
