Buying your own imaginary confetti doesn't magically turn your confetti into a stock or into a financial derivative. A stock confers ownership of the firm that issued the stock. These tokens don't confer ownership of anything, and therefore are not like stocks.

Generally though, conceptually the argument goes like this "You can't do X because it destroys the planet. Since we cannot destroy the planet, there is no other option but to accept banning of X". But, there is no limits or guards to this. You can easily go down the slippery slope and say X is the city of Chicago that needs to be destroyed for the collective good. It consumes too many resources.

Riddled with subjectivism. You cannot do less since there are no objective limits to what is "acceptable levels of destruction of the planet" means. It has a different subjective weight to different entities arguing the position. In the limit, this would mean we erase humanity all together and leave the planet alone.

You can bully a lot of things your way before any one can speak up against it. There is a level of insidious moral superiority built into it which makes it prime for exploitation. Corporations are doing exactly that.
Nice idea, congrats to OP. Sadly some people here thinks “if I pay for data I should be free using it the way I want”.
As others explained carriers create plans (price/data/unitOfTime) based on their antenna capacity. If too many people cheats to torrent/4K/whatever, the carriers will need to readjust the plans for the system continuing to works (= prices will go up).
I love FOSS, stop being selfish and think of collective benefit.
That's true of course, but seems a bit like "actually, it's GNU/Linux" to me. Mastodon currently is the "flagship" application of the Fediverse, especially as far as the current influx of new users is concerned.

At least I think we can hope that people will start to discover all the other things that the Fediverse contains ince they are there and start to use it.

Also, not sure if I'm correct, but from what I've read, the software seems to be quite influential in shaping the "de-facto standard" client/server API, at least for the "microblogging" part of the Fediverse?

Like, in theory, ActivityPub both specifies server/server and client/server interactions - however, the client/server part appears to be "underspecified and barely used" [1, 2]. e.g., AP doesn't say anything about how clients are authenticated or even how they can get notified of incoming messages/activities short of polling. This stuff is all specified in the Mastodon API.

So in practice, if I wanted to write a new client app for microblogging on the fediverse, my app would use the Mastodon API, not ActivityPub for reference. Is that correct?

Of course in the interest of avoiding centralisation, I'd agree that that's not a good state of affairs. It would be better if there was a real, widely-used standard for client/server and not just what the Mastodon devs think is useful. Though at least they cannot simply make changes to the API without convincing the majority of server admins to adopt those changes.

On confusing thing: on the settings where you have the "press 3 times" etc. It looks like the 3 keys that are not chosen are selected/active. And the one selected key looks like it's not selected :)
FWIW, with Thunderbird you can easily label email priority with keys 1-9. Where 1 is the highest priority, it will mark the email in red.

So, email not read is bold, important email not read is bold red. Works pretty well for me as a backlog/todo list.

imo, this isn't a decision that can be made in isolation; it depends entirely on what your competitors are doing. If your competitors are working from an office and out-producing you, you have no choice but to follow suit.

Like in sales, you're much more likely to close the deal if you meet in-person than over a Zoom call. If your competitors are flying out salespeople to meet clients, but you're still stuck on Zoom, you won't catch a bid.

Tld and domain system are a mess.

Number one problem is scarcity. Two persons can not own the same domain and tld combo. Number two problem is speculation. People buy domains and hold them hoping to resell for 1000x. Number three problem is expiration.

> how did the hackers get the keys?

It's most likely an inside job, either by disgruntled employees or SBF himself:

"In a subsequent examination, FTX legal and finance teams also learned that Bankman-Fried implemented what the two people described as a "backdoor" in FTX's book-keeping system, which was built using bespoke software.

They said the "backdoor" allowed Bankman-Fried to execute commands that could alter the company's financial records without alerting other people, including external auditors. This set-up meant that the movement of the $10 billion in funds to Alameda did not trigger internal compliance or accounting red flags at FTX, they said." [1]

The Japanese government is handling this pretty well. They assigned a … I’m not sure the term. Manager? Basically some Japanese firm is handling everything related to Gox.

It’s not just about rudeness, nobody who buys thousands of laptops wants to deal with shitty support. If they try stuff like this and managements backs it up, you know there’s more like it in the future and it’s just not worth anyones time.

I consider winter to be a magical time of the year when as a child I used to play in the snow, hear stories about horrible winters from my grand parents, and that as an adult I feel brings some difficulties to my life.

When I read something like 'this Winter is warm with minimal gas burned so far', I refer back to the common interpretation of winter which is December -> March in the Northern Hemisphere, because otherwise I would have to start interpreting what the other three seasons mean also.

I'm curious about when you thought it was anything else?

I don't think this will affect its reputation noticeably.

Which demographic is going to be turned off by this?

The regular public won't hear about this. the FIRE investor people basically seem to use a percentage as a lottery ticket. Wall Street I would hope already saw the consistent story.

Is it hard core blockchain people, who knew of all the other crashed parties, but thought surely that's all behind us for the big players, having grown up now? But then nothing seems to faze them.

Maybe the whales who don't actually care about blockchain, but were sold angel investor status? Yeah, possibly.
I would strongly advise against react if you are looking to learn the fundamentals.

By all means learn about raw DOM manipulation with JavaScript first, but do not go directly for react.

We are repeating the same issues we had years ago where people started conflating JavaScript with jQuery - people are conflating JavaScript with react l.

JavaScript is an insanely powerful flexible and widely deployed language. It is so much more than just react/jQuery. It is the Lingua Franca of modern computers.

It is indeed $CURRENT_YEAR, but that does not validate your claim.

It is perfectly legitimate and practical to build a web application using little to no JavaScript. It is also abundantly evident that consumers and professionals are still happy to pay to use web applications which employ little to no JavaScript.
Because passing merchant vessels attract less attention from ASW assets than submarines?

At a wild guess, there'd be multiple merchant vessels travelling past the point where the pipes were attacked. Who would notice if a group of divers happened to leave a ship as it transited?

And of course, those vessels could be flagged under many a convenient jurisdiction. Liberia used to have the world's largest merchant marine, theoretically.

Whereas if you go in with a submarine, and it gets detected in the vicinity, it's far harder to plausibly deny that your country wasn't involved.

TL;DR - you're assuming a submarine would be stealthier, but there's a lot of stealth to be had from hiding in the crowd.

> constant battle against SEO/Spam industry

I'm pretty sure this is a self inflicted injury. Google started relying on metadata as a signal for its search algo and the SEO war was on.

1. Nothing is forcing Apple or any other search engine maker to use the same signals

2. In any case, the era of general purpose web search seems to be ending - most things we care about is in walled gardens like Insta or WhatsApp. E.g., millions of people get their Ukraine war news from Telegram channels which Google is blind to.

Any general purpose search engine is hoovering up less and less relevant content

I worked with a guy Chris, now friend, for many years. His mind and thinking skills were exceptional. It took me some time to realise that when I thought he wasn't making sense the problem was more likely my thinking, than his. He seemed able to solve any programming or infrastructure problem. He made me realise some people's brains are just wired differently. And yes, sometimes people like this need challenged. Big brains can mean constant change. Sometimes the change is what brings the cutting edge. Sometimes I think it can be the result of boredom. I am very grateful to have worked with Chris, I have not met anyone else like him.
Sure, but i imagine layoffs are even worse for that. The company can pick who to layoff, but once they do i imagine the really talented people start to jump ship.
As someone completely unfamiliar with this stuff, that sounds like centralized witch hunting/cancelling to me. If that works as you describe, it sounds like mastodon/fediverse thing is headed rapidly toward all the problems that are widespread elsewhere right now.
I agree with your statement, perhaps with a very loose sense of “socialism to some extent”.

However, socialism is not communism, which is what the GP comment mentioned.
The HDPE plastic flakes washing and recycling line is shown in the video. HDPE plastic bottles, basins, and buckets need to be crushed by a crusher first and then recycled by washing, drying, and other equipment. The recycling of HDPE materials mainly uses 25% recycled materials, such as post-consumer recycled materials, and pure HDPE after reprocessing to make bottles that do not come into contact with food. The HDPE cleaning and recycling line has the characteristics of high output and simple operation.
I wouldn't hold any special reverence for McKinsey.

In general with any of the management consultants, you're going to get people with very little actual experience telling you how to run your company.

Whilst some of the stuff, usually more accountancy / factual based, doesn't require experience, and thus may be delivered to a high standard, you're also going to got a bunch of hot takes that don't make sense in reality.

Outsourcing, the Spotify model, and not really agile Agile are all sold by the top tier consultants, even though you basically can't name successful examples.

> Many people have lost life savings when banks collapse.

Do you have some data for this statement? (in the US, post FDIC deposit era)

Because even when a bank fails, there is usually more than enough to cover depositors, and what the FDIC does is arrange for the bank to be taken over by a healthy bank, with the deposits migrated (but equity and bondholders can take a bath). E.g. no depositor lost a penny in the financial crisis of 2008 -- which was the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression -- even if they had money in excess of the limits. However it's quite unusual to have money in excess of the limit -- if you have that much, you wont keep it as a deposit, you'll hold some government guaranteed bonds like agencies or treasuries. It is extremely poor cash management for an individual to have more than 200K in a demand deposit account when they can be earning more with government guaranteed bonds that are just as liquid as cash. You can even open an account with Treasury Direct.

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list

The majority of the bugs I see are failed tests, null dereferences, unreachable code reached, very slow code, UI bugs, crashes, etc.

Come to think of it, I've had 2 chrome bugs on my phone in the last week or so. Some weird UI bug with tabs, and a more severe one where it just kept crashing once in like 10 seconds. It magically stopped after a while.
> everything you need to know when creating production-ready (yet simple!) web applications?

If you mean web applications rather than (mostly static) web sites then I believe that the boring pragmatic approach is to use React + Typescript, at least for the front end stuff. This is where the tooling, documentation, and community all currently come together in the most cohesive manner for modern web application development - or in other words, where you'll be fighting the tech least, and have the most support when you need it.

I know that's a loaded opinion and I spent years resisting it. But I'm glad I overcame my scepticism.

I would love to be working closer to the metal, in this case meaning HTML, CSS, and JS. I spent the first 5 years of my web dev career doing this. But this means you have to deal directly with several different browser engines running across hundreds of potential devices, you have to deal with bundling your assets, transpiling, worrying about what JS and CSS features you can use - it's basically endless, more than one person can handle. Web dev is inherently many layers of abstraction deep and highly fragmented. By using a framework like React and following their best practices, you let someone else, at least partially, deal with that chaos. That's the closest thing we have to a safe, boring, pragmatic path in modern web dev. Yes it's a long way from perfect and you're still barely surfing above the chaos, but I don't think there's a better option.

> If too many people cheats to torrent/4K/whatever, the carriers will need to readjust the plans for the system continuing to works (= prices will go up)

This hypothesis assumes that carriers can increase prices and the public will still pay them. If so, it follows that they are now leaving money on the table, which sounds unlikely.

I think it was Tim Hardford who wrote about something similar in his book "The Undercover Economist", in the context of the spectrum auctions in the different countries.

The Flask mega-tutorial is great - but I would recommend looking at fast Api today, rather than flask. That will in general only give you an Api though - you'd typically add on a pure js/ts front-end or something:

Or look at Django - for something more full-featured in python.

> I’d highly surprised if it could be done algorithmically

Except this exists since the beginning?

I feel people are missing the point. A decade ago a guy created some system that allows users to digitally self custody funds without a third party. That’s self regulation to you.

MtGox was not that. Celsius was not that and finally FTX was not that. Binance is not that. Those companies and their tokens conjured out of thin air are glorified digital cassinos folks.

Government regulation? Will it make a difference? The stuff they did is already ilegal in pretty much any country isn’t? By the way wasn’t SBF trying to push regulations to hurt his competitors? Didn’t he funded D and R candidates? Do you really think you can trust anything that can come out of regulation to be effective and not exploitable?

FFS doesn’t FTX US division have a NY bitlicense? That’s probably the most strict license in finance.

As for crypto reputation I see this as a big W for the core principles of self custody. Bitcoin “toximaxis” being right all along. Even here people often reply me they feel more comfortable using a third party. It’s all good but perhaps you should instead trade stocks or idk commodities or wathever?
If not a false memory, I have read it for a short while and from what I’ve seen (please excuse my opinion) it is a in a pretty good way a specific community(-es) which is probably not ready for this massive exodus. People of global communities barely understand the concept of lurking and local culture. Even with the obstacles you mentioned there is a chance for Mastodon’s own Eternal September happening.
