I have written and effectively used many smart contracts, although not for speculation.

There is constant abuse of customer funds, as a matter of course, by banks. It generally is less public or visible though than public ledgers (blockchains).

Its the difference between trusting a company that is trying to profit just from holding your funds in ways that you cannot audit, versus trusting a math and computer programs that you can audit.

There have not been more abuses by cryptocurrency exchanges than banks overall. They are just more recent. But what I am saying is that these cryptocurrency exchange companies really don't have anything to do with cryptocurrency -- their business model is antithetical.
This wouldn't be hearsay from a neighbor — it would only be after seeing the neighbor log into the icloud account and seeing Apple's tracking system showing it was in the house. Hearsay is when someone says something but you don't see it with your own eyes.

If this is indeed a house, not an apartment, I would think that that location accuracy would be high enough that its presence over multiple days would be enough to get a search warrant.
More strikes indicates the union is less powerful - a powerful union never has to strike, because they always get what they want just through fear of a strike.

You're absolutely right that the distance between homes is key here. If it's apartments, I wouldn't put much stock in the location accuracy. But if it's standalone homes with normal setbacks from the property line, I'd think they'd have enough (in the US, which this is not) for a search warrant.

GrapheneOS uses our own camera app, not Open Camera. Our camera app supports HDR+ for images and HDRnet for videos on Pixels along with zoom-based multi-camera on devices with support for it in 3rd party apps including Pixels and current generation Samsung phones. It has Night, Portrait and HDR modes on Samsung phones. Pixels don't provide those CameraX extensions yet, but they provide HDR+ / HDRnet for it in the normal Camera and Video modes. Our app also supports optional EIS. It's not as featureful as Google Camera or Samsung's camera app but it's getting better, and you don't have to use it.

Google Camera works fine as a sandboxed app on GrapheneOS. You can install GSF as a regular sandboxed app alongside Google Camera and use it. Google Photos works fine too. You can disable the Network toggle for all 3 apps if you'd like.

https://grapheneos.org/usage#camera has more information on these topics, although it needs to be updated for recent improvements in our Camera app.

You don't need Play services or the Play Store for Google Camera, but you can use those as part of our sandboxed Google Play feature on GrapheneOS to run nearly all apps from the Play Store.

Well the people who smoke fent off of a piece of foil aren't going to disappear so you have to put them somewhere. If you were to put them somewhere in Pac Heights where the residents actively work against public transit that'd displease them, so they go where the community is less civically engaged and less powerful, like next to public transit. In effect there's a feedback loop where the area next to BART is only going to get grimier and Pac Heights are going to get NIMBYer.

That reminds me of the excellent Econtalk episode: Devon Zuegel on Inflation, Argentina, and Crypto

Devon Zuegel talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the crazy world of money and finance in Argentina. When inflation is often high and unpredictable, people look for unusual ways to hold their savings. And when banks are unreliable because of public policy, people look for unusual ways to keep their savings safe and to make financial transactions. Welcome to Argentina, where Zuegel finds surprising applications of cryptocurrency for solving problems.

Ah the old hater line. Always good to see that the classics never go out of style.

Gwynne Shotwell herself of course wouldn't agree with this line of argument, go listen to interviews with her.

Shotwell makes no claim that she was driving force behind Falcon 1 or Falcon 9, she just took over company management when Falcon 9 was already started flying and Musk was in full control of Falcon 9 development.

As she herself said, its easy to sell a rocket that beats competition by a huge margin, has incredibly high reliability and a high launch rate.

The same goes for govenrment contracts, if you bid almost 40% lower because you just have better technology and better engineering processes, something Shotwell was never responsible for, you have a huge advantage.

Shotwell is of course great, a fantastic operator, and of course she was hand picked by Musk for that roll. He put here in position to manage day to day operations so he could focus on the most important engineering projects.

So even if your claim is true that Shotwell runs SpaceX, Musk would still get a lot of credit.
He didn't become the richest (declared) person on Earth by having an agreeable personality...

Modern crypto has little to do with bitcoin.

Bitcoin was about digital money, out of the reach of central banks as a response to the 2008's financial crisis.

Modern crypto is about trying to convince others your altcoin has some intrinsic value by selling rumours, partnerships, governance or some other vaporous dream, so it can be used for gambling.

The problem are central exchanges creating monstrous speculation instruments and of course gambling with user funds on top of it by lack of regulation.

I think you are probably right that most problems are hardware, but there are a lot of broken chargers (display out, not fixed). People just report them all the time. look at reddit.com/r/electricvehicles.

But yeah, it's probably a lot of software issues. Strangely I do not hear from Europe that there are problems like here. I don't hear about 'charger is broken or won't charge' in Europe when people use tesla chargers (which are on the euro-ccs standard just like tesla cars there). Can anyone chime in? I'm in the US.

99% is still not that amazing in my opinion if you're charging something with as much energy as a car.

1% * 50KWH is 0.5 KWH, so the same as running a 1KW heater for half an hour.

According to this website, boiling 1L of water from room temperature is about 0.1KWH, so you could boil 5 litres of water : https://seesustainability.co.uk/blog/f/boiling-water---how-m....
As already mentioned in this thread, this is done mostly for aesthetic purposes, like when making a consommé - which is judged also by how clear the liquid is, besides flavor. Other than that, you shouldn’t bother if you’re using the stock to make other dishes.
And to be able to discern between the two possibilities, you just have to ask yourself the question: has specific NSA technology recommendation consistently been provided in our best interest?

Their track record is spotty at best, and has only gotten worse over time. So to the extent that they are recommending using memory safe languages, that's great...it's advice that would be corroborated by other institutions, researchers, and practitioners. But the moment they recommend a specific set of technologies to use, that should give you pause.

That being said, the report doesn't specifically recommend just those specific languages, and merely provides them as examples...so as long as I'm not in charge of securing an adversarial nation/state's infrastructure, I'm not gonna worry about the potential nefariousness of this recommendation.

The "OS Recent Files Integration" blew up my dock icon so now instead just showing open windows, it's filled with random files I happened to touch. How is this useful? I'll edit 20 files in a sitting regularly. Also, it made looking at open app windows a complete mess - giant icons of text files, and the minimized window I'm looking for just sorta shoved into a corner...

So I turned it off in the settings, cleared the recent files in the menu, but now there's a bunch of files just sorta stuck in the OS recents... Anyone know how to manually clear recent files from an app in macOS?

"I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.

3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things."

Right regulation right now would be to straight ban BTC in Europe because of the energy usage and CO2 emissions . And hopefully California could pass a right act during next elections and join the ban.
Very much dependent on the country. Where they have rolled out their “new” maps based on their own mapping (and not licensing a mix of others like TomTom), they are much much better than people think.

https://www.apple.com/au/newsroom/2021/12/apple-rolls-out-al...

In Australia, I rarely go for Google Maps anymore. Apple Maps search and driving UI is cleaner, the LookAround streetview equivalent is great, and spoken directions are more natural. Google Maps still has the edge in business location data though - like finding “a barber nearby”. As more people use it, it’s clear Apple Maps is catching up there too.

But when I was in southern Europe, which I guess haven’t been upgraded yet, I found they’re a long way behind Google Maps in terms of routing, detail map data, and updates to business locations.
Who would you trust instead?

Google Camera works perfectly on GrapheneOS, and unlike CalyxOS runs as a regular sandboxed app. It's as simple as following our instructions and installing GSF from our app repository followed by Google Camera:

https://grapheneos.org/usage#google-camera

You can revoke Network from Google Camera and GSF if you'd like. Google Photos works that way too. None of those need Play services and the Play Store, but you can use Play services and the Play Store as regular sandboxed apps on GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS has MUCH broader app compatibility than CalyxOS and without making the privacy/security sacrifices it does to integrate microG into the OS. CalyxOS has privileged Google services integration built into the OS so you don't need to install anything, but installing apps from our app repository and getting far broader app compatibility with fewer sacrifices isn't a problem for users.

CalyxOS isn't a hardened OS. It substantially reduces security rather than improving it. They roll back the security model and go months without shipping the baseline Android privacy/security updates. They shipped half the August and September security part of the way into October including multiple critical remote code execution vulnerabilities. This happens every year and throughout the year. It's not simply not hardened but not a safe option even for people not focused on privacy/security. Providing proper security updates is the bare minimum. There are still missing security patches with it today, and they're still downplaying and misleading users about it. Just check their recent news posts announcing the August and September updates while admitting they aren't providing half of them. Note: what they say about providing all the open source patches is wrong, since lots of what they skipped was open source, and the updates they skipped were mostly more important than the ones they shipped.

The main selling point for Sublime for me was its speed.

Whenever I wanted a quick edit, or to open a big file that VS Code and others will struggle with - I used Sublime.

But now I moved to Lapce[1] which is even faster (I didn't think it'd be possible) and open source, which is a huge bonus. It's not feature complete yet, but it got good enough and they improve fast.

The value of privacy in regards to cookies is nuanced and hard to explain. The bureaucrats pushed a policy that is beneficial for privacy, but is user hostile.

Companies benefit by complying with the law and then being able to blame the law creating a public image problem for the law and a hedge against future similar laws (remember the last one? it was bad right).

This is the compromise between surveillance capitalism and privacy.

A more important question is why wasn't there a law banning tracking cookies/other bad behavior (as opposed to cookies used to run the website).

You think it's the bureaucrats pushing the behavior on you, but it's the companies that won't give up their tracking cookies who have influence on the bureaucrats that result in the behavior you see.

Your attribution of the problem to the bureaucrats rather than the companies that used cookies in such a way that motivated the pop up is rewarding companies for bad behavior, which ironically also prevents bureaucrats from doing a better job because when the bureaucrats are blamed for the compromise between capitalist owners and private citizens, it diminishes their power/mandate to curb capitalist power (which is fundamentally the purpose of GDPR).

Who is more evil, the bureaucrats or the companies violating privacy. If the companies did not violate privacy, would we have to deal with cookie pop ups?

> Now in my mid-30s after some years of therapy my therapist and I are uncovering that I very likely have ADHD.

That’s about the time I found out too.

> I don't want to be medicated, I know some terrible stories from close friends who have been medicated for more than a decade and even though it helped them somewhat the side-effects were no joke after so long.

So, not saying you need to go and try medication—if you’ve found a way to live a happy and healthy life keep at it.

But, it’s good to know that some ADHD meds aren’t right for some people. There’s about 5/6 different options whose effects and mechanism of action vary. Most of the frontline meds are stimulants, but a couple are not.

What works well for someone, could be horrible for someone else. Finding the right one can be really easy, or difficult and take months.

A decade ago I suspected I may have it, but severely misunderstood what it actually was and ignored it. If someone had of told me then what I know now I would have jumped on it. Meds changed my life for the better, and I wish I had the opportunity a decade ago.

Until you’ve had chance to try them, I’d caution writing them off.

For everyone else reading this, meds help. But they’re not a cure. They’re often likened to glasses. Imagine having permanently blurred vision. There’s a lot you could still do, but damn if it isn’t easier with a pair of glasses.
