Sure, I just wish articles would provide the basic context needed to make sense of what's in the article.

I don't think bitcoin provides any value to the world, so trivially it doesn't provide value commensurate with its environmental costs, but I was hoping the article would give me a better idea how big a deal those environmental costs are in the larger scheme of things.

I have accomplished things in my life that literally would not have happened without it. Before org mode I had never been able to find a task management workflow that kept me particularly productive. Just the basic outline features of org mode (with the list functionality to spice things up) has allowed me to comfortably know I'm on top of the important tasks in my life. I'm learning more about TODOs, priorities, the agenda, etc., and it keeps getting better and better.

Speaking as a woman on the internet: emotional intelligence and maturity. You signal that by genuinely having those traits and being yourself.
Since I wondered how a river can have a negative depth:

> A river's stage at a point (a gauge reading) is not an absolute measure of the depth of the water in the channel, rather it is a depth with respect to an historical Datum level. In summary, when a river gauge reads zero or in the negative numbers - it does not mean that the river has gone totally dry or is running below ground. It means that the gauge is reading at or below the agreed-upon zero level.

> Silt may deposit in the river channel over time (filling the channel up), or the channel bottom may be scoured out to a deeper level by strong currents.

> Still, the gauge zero datum levels are not changed to keep continuity.

https://www.weather.gov/ctp/NegativeRiverStages

So, these aren't depth, and apparently aren't even comparable.
> learning that baking recipes are ratios of mass makes me feel more comfortable [...] It’s such a simple concept

Yes. Almost all recipes get the presentation wrong by using a mix of units and fractions, e.g.:

1 cup flour, sifted
2/3 cup water
1 tsp salt
0.5 g yeast
1 large egg
I should instead say "when Wikia switched to Fandom". Wikia used to be pretty standard MediaWiki instances. Then they moved the format to a more custom layout until they became the absolute trash Fandom layout of today.

When Wikia was more standard MediaWiki layout both sites were extremely usable. The Fandom trash styling makes both very difficult to navigate now. They're unusable without an ad blocker.
Any hope of solving it using quantum computing?
I have similar thoughts in regards to the creative outputs of our various cultures and how we'll deal with that - as creatives, as fans, as critics, etc.

When I was young, it seemed impossible to me to think that someone could know ALL of recorded music, or ALL of cinema, because there was so much of it. But there really isn't _that_ much. Not as of the 1990s. And there are music and film buffs who have encyclopedic knowledge of these things, who impress me to this day - if at least for the dedication of time, mindspace, and memory.

But we're at a stage where the output could potentially surpass a single human's ability to input. Where it might be impossible for a person, not only to hear all the music in a single genre, but in a single decade. It's possible that there would be so much music made in a single genre, in a single decade, that a person could not know all of it.

That's amazing to me. It's something we haven't experienced collectively - an unfathomable mass of creative output. The potential to hear a new song every 5 minutes of every day of the rest of your life.

What does music critique look like in that world? What does fandom look like? How do the pretentious maintain their imagined status if their pedestals are too short?

I love the idea that a musician could make a living from the proceeds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of fans, whom most in the world would have never heard of. It's a scale our current culture can't comprehend.

I marvel at the potential and consider it as beautiful, scary, and liberating as seeing thousands of galaxies in a pinhead-sized portion of the night sky.

The parent comment seemed to imply that using unsafe was a failing of the developer to prove to the compiler that the code is correct. And that's not right, unless you view thing like "doubly linked list" as incorrect code. Unsafe is for correct code that the compiler is unable to verify.
If you look at the number of results rather than the results themselves, you clearly care about the number. The number is the information. It can answer a question like: How many books in the Library of Congress contain the word "God"?[1]

Similarly whenever I've looked at the number of results in Google it was to judge how common something is. For example, if I want to know the most commonly used spelling between two options, I Google both and check the number. That's what the number is helpful for, and really the only thing it could be helpful for. It is its own information.

[1] I know the question might need to be revised for the number to reflect the answer accurately; you get the idea.
I make an above median software dev salary, I definitely spend time considering $100 vs $0. Also, I now live in a country where I don't pay for most healthcare, so the default is free, which means when I encounter unexpected costs in healthcare I spend a little bit of time thinking about it, even if it's only a small amount of money.

> Not to mention that it isn't even really free! You're still paying for it with your taxes/insurance premiums.

That's a ridiculous way to look at it, I pay the same amount regardless of whether I get the flu shot or not. Therefore getting it is free.

No, i didn't say that, nor did the post. You keep making these absurd leaps. Privacy.com advertises themselves as being private. I expect them to be private. They're the ones who chose to hinge 100% of their marketing strategy, all the way down to their name and domain, on how very private they were.
I agree fully, though at this point pretty much anything is a vast improvement over first-past-the-post so I'll happily settle for ranked choice for now.

The suspicion of such a link existed and has been officially investigated but never proven. Also worth noting that despite intense police investigations (still ongoing) not a single person was able to be charged for these heinous crimes which ripped apart and ruined families for no reason. The public consensus is that (a part of) the police/gendarmes/government/state security apparatus back then was involved and probably still is given the borderline comical incompetency making any official progress in the investigation. If I'm not mistaken, the investigation will be dropped in 2025 if no new elements come to light.

When I was in college, myself and a few friends briefly passed through Los Alamos on our way to the Grand Canyon. The thing I still remember (it was a while ago) was seeing a sign on the laboratory grounds saying, “dirt removal from canyon prohibited”.
I didn't know safe programming languages protect against logic bugs and side channel attacks. What good is Rust if the processor itself or RAM are leaking encryption keys?

The problem is NSO, not the tech stack, but I guess this is the tech equivalent of looking for lost keys under the street lamp because that's where the light is.
This is really cool, the hardware for this is far in advance of what I was using. I was using the classic webcam type setup, with the 1/4 inch accuracy you elluded to in your post.

My thesis focused more on the UI components than the hardware. I had my gaze setup to appear as a cursor input, and used some CSS to hide the cursor on a webpage. Then I used hover effects to open menus, focus inputs etc.

My question was, could it replace the mouse on a desktop? And I wanted to build something for anyone to use, not as an accessibility input. I used eye gaze with the spacebar on the keyboard as a primary input action.

The components had large targets, so the accuracy didn't matter too much. I used some basic components to build an email UI, which worked purely through gaze and the keyboard.

The UI was perfectly functional, but it really drained me/others to use it. Possible it could be due to accuracy, or some of the UI component design. My gut feeling was that the UI reacting to my eyes was the real problem though, there was a strange feeling knowing that you needed to look at certain components to use them. The way your eye works, it wants to jump around to whatever is interesting, and having a UI that needs the eye to look at a certain place isn't pleasant.

I think any UI that wants to utilize the eye would have to be very subtle, and designed not to feel restrictive to your focus. I'm not convinced that the mouse/your fingers could be replaced by eye tracking but for rendering higher res in VR goggles and that sort of thing makes a lot of sense.
Churchill on Brevity (1940)
Because I bought the hardware, end of story. I shouldn't have to justify what I do with it after that. Not to Nintendo, not to Sony, not to you, and not to a court of law.

I didn't borrow it, I bought it. I pay for the power that lights it up, I pay for the network it connects to, I get to say what it does and when and how.

Yes it was advertised as a gaming console, yes it came with some games installed and it's very good at that, but it's also a whole-ass computer with the potential to do whole-ass computer things. I'm offended by having a computer sitting right there that can't be used to do some task that it might otherwise be capable of.

We'd never stand for arbitrary restrictions on other everyday items. Imagine if the can of soda I'm drinking could only be used as a drink. Oh you spilled some chemicals on yourself and you want to use this to rinse off quickly on your way to the shower? Sorry, drink output can only connected to mouth input, too bad about your arm. Like, what?

Objects are versatile and using that versatility is the essence of humanity. It's why we have opposable thumbs. It's why we're the dominant species on the planet. Backsliding from that in the name of copyright or some shit is inane, counterproductive, and offensive to the very core of my being.
Assuming your online identity is secure by obscurity is not a realistic option. If all it takes is a flashlight for everyone to become “vulnerable”, we need to just assume the light is always on. Someone handing out flashlights just highlights the bigger problem.

If this truly causes worry, adopt better opsec and create generative usernames for different sites. If not, assume anyone will easily be able to link your bowel issue subreddit comments to your LinkedIn profile.
> Unlike under a Fiat standard, that uneven distribution doesn't benefit them beyond having many Bitcoin; they can't use those Bitcoin to create more Bitcoin, increasing the gorge between rich and poor.

Yes, they can.

If anyone wants to use Bitcoin in transactions, since there is a finite supply of it, they have to go to someone who already has it. That person can be willing to lend them some, but will probably will ask for interest. So the rich Bitcoiner will get their original pile back and some extra.

This is similar to the gold-based economy (and monetary Gold Standard): they who have the gold make the rules. If someone doesn't want you participating in the economy, they can restrict your access to currency since they own so much of it.

Having a fixed/finite amount of money in an economy is a bug, not a feature:

You know, it's pretty easy to just ditch social media entirely, and to essentially forget about your smartphone as well (beyond the bare essentials that we're kind of forced to use them for these days), actually.
Imo biggest issue is that professors are incentivized to research, not teach. 101 classes have a high percentage of non-major, disinterested students, so the good teachers don't want to teach them. So the combination of undergrads being an annoyance that must be dealt with in order to do the real job of research, and the teachers who actually take that annoyance seriously not teaching this class means 101 classes are commonly not updated and little work is put into them by the teachers. AP courses are designed by people whose job is designing courses, not people whose job is research and "oh yea teach these undergrads too."

Yeah, it's really odd. Some browsers will only show the value, some will show the label and the value, and some will (properly) show the label when you have both a label and a value.

It kind of drives me nuts that it doesn't work the same way as the select element, when you are using option elements as a list.
If you can't do it alone, just you wait until you have kids...

> I queried page 1000 to see the 10001st-10010th results and got a 404.

Yeah, the GitHub API also only serves 100 pages with 100 results each max. If you want more, you need to use dirty hacks like slicing the search into blocks by sorting and filtering based on the creation date or the number of stars of a repo.

Be careful though, in my experience the results are not consistent anymore as soon as you enter low star or old repository territory, probably depending on the actual API server you hit, forcing you to query multiple times to really get (hopefully) all results. :)
As xwdv points out, it's implied, inescapably, by two points:

1) it blames the EU, somehow, instead of Russia

2) if by some magical thinking one avoids blaming Russia somehow, the only other possible thing the EU could have done wrong is to have not somehow built a lot more of its own fossil-fuel infrastructure and production, earlier. Which isn't really a strong argument, but if you're trying really hard to avoid admitting that Russia is the problem, and you have a bone to pick about relying more on fossil fuels, that's the only trick in the bag.
