ATMs would dispense actual cash when a transaction enters the mempool without waiting for (say) 6 confirmations? That seems like a pretty egregious design choice even a decade ago. If that story is true, the ATM designers merited the loss.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/zeitgeist#Pronunciation gives two pronunciations:

Pronunciation (Received Pronunciation, General American) IPA(key): /ˈtsaɪtˌɡaɪst/, /ˈzaɪtˌɡaɪst/

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/zeitgeist also gives two: ˈtsīt-ˌgīst ˈzīt-

I tried to get statistics from listening to https://youglish.com/pronounce/zeitgeist/english? but found I have a hard time distinguishing the two forms.

It seems like the crowd here is pro things like this. I understand the e-waste angle. How do you protect and defend android devices that haven't received security updates for a long time?
This. It's not like all innovation that has occurred in the crypto-currency space is useless, there are some real valuable innovations there. Blockchain as a whole is just too tainted to see the forest for the trees in all the greed, specifically the word "blockchain" has become magical and deceptive.

"Having one neutral platform, controlled by no one, with standardized API's and immutable open programs that anyone can permissionlessly build on - is amazing."

Tim is dead on with this observation, this is amazing. And it's not a magic bullet statement either.

thx for sharing your idea. We will upfront the difference between the opensource and commercial versions.
They do pay, but they can not pay same amount as some corporation can. If you target individuals you need to find good pricing model for them. The best model - at least for me, that always attract me is pay for a year of subscription to updates. After 1y passes you can pay at lower rate to continue receiving updates for new features and bug fixes or you can continue to use the latest version before your support has expired. I'm hooked instantly to this since it brings me value without constant commitment. One year I may decide to extend one tool, the other I pay extension for other tool.

Jetbrains' pricing model is also good, they reduce price each year (until 3rd), so you get rewarded for having a long term subscription. If you break commitment you get the regular pricing and you start over.

I remember trying Kite, but I removed it once I saw the pricing. It was more expensive than Jetbrains IDEs (which are less than 2$ a month for individuals when you pay in a bundle - 149$ at the time) which bring much more value for the money. For me it didn't make sense to pay 20$ for just incremental improvement (if even that) over Jetbrains Intelisense.
They’re not difficult to implement. It’s a sed pass running before any preprocessor or even lexer, which is the horrifying thing. They replace characters in source code, they’re not normal tokens like digraphs. And so e.g. the following program won’t print what a mere mortal would expect:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
puts(“What??(Really.)”);
}

Try running that. Only change the quote marks to the ones on a normal keyboard (I’m on my phone.)

Edit: Oh, and remember to compile with -std=c11 e.g. gnu11 has trigraphs disabled by default.
What is your motivation for the "without a sim card" part? If the phone is connected to Wifi then they're either at home or at school--isn't the point being able to reach them no matter where they are?

I'm not too keen on my kids being on the internet all day. In my case the opposite solution seems better, a dumbphone so I can reach them, but TikTok can't.
They didn't have to. Never ever cave to bully demands. That only teaches them they have power.
The ashahi driver inside Mesa builds upon Gallium3D so it does use shared components of the Mesa library stack. This is not a from scratch driver, it's one that uses the powers of the Mesa library.
> started in Feb 2014, just saying

Depending on what you count you could give a number of other dates, some significantly earlier than 2014. The current massive offensive, which is significant enough that pointing out they reacted then and not in 2014 or some other date is at best being facetious & disingenuous, started in force in Feb 2022.

Just saying.

That's one reason why "Hey Google" was added as a valid wake phrase (and is the one I use)
Y2038 is also a data format issue (32-bit dates).

I think it's likely to be better handled, but at the same time people keep citing the non-disaster of Y2K as a reason not to do disaster preparation, so I don't know.
It feels like a UX faux pas to pick common names for stuff like this.

I’ve got to imagine that some people named Alexa find it unfortunate and invasive that suddenly their name is used everywhere. At least “Siri” and “Hey Google” are less popular names for people.
Is that € 500 for just the working hours? Because homes are also generally heated for other uses than work. Those reasons don't go away if you work at the office. If you've got a spouse working from home, or kids coming from school, that house is going to be heated anyway.
Regardless of what type of vehicle you use and where you're located, living in a van is all about total freedom. Living life on your terms and going wherever you feel like with no restrictions is what trailers offer you. Your stealth camper van is your home, and you have to make it look like one.

I have come to realize that every imposition of power from an individual or a group has the same characteristics.

From a narcissistic single person in the family, to an evangelist, a religion, a state. They all follow the same patterns.

It's pervasive but if you pick your poison carefully you will be in a place that lets you have the maximum freedom (a democratic state, a healthy family dynamic, atheism or a very liberal spirituality). The majority howver willingly or not will pick the power system where they think they are most comfortable (usually the one they grew up with).

"Stopping to cause damage" has the same failure mode as "trying socialism". You get eaten alive by non-idealists. Outcompeted (by those who play by the rules) and subverted (by the most who don't) at every turn, no matter how theoretically lofty your purpose is.
You say you aren't aware that Tesla is trying to sell EVs cheaply. That is either selective awareness or you do not understand how economics, markets, and industry works. Home computers also weren't cheap, popular, and abundant yet when only single digit percentages of people owned one.

Self-driving packages are not to save the environment. It's an effort to save lives. And is an add-on and is entirely optional to purchase. If you think making the effort to save some of the 10,000 lives lost in car accidents in the US is a waste of money and effort, I don't know what to say other than I disagree.

It's pretty obvious the gasoline/diesel engine is dying. It was anyways but Tesla managed to push the industry to kill it at least ten years sooner. If you think those emissions are nothing, again, I don't know what to tell you. That is a major source of emissions that has now found a replacement and the market has forced the legacy ICE industry to move rapidly in the direction of EVs or lose profits and market share.

He isn't saving the earth. No one person or solution is. The sources of CO2 are numerous. Personally I prefer the people who get rich because they start a company addressing one of these problems. Rather than, say, Zara, or the meatpacking industry. Getting rid of the gasoline engine is a big deal. One that people in public service or other companies were unable and/or unwilling to do. You are welcome to address that problem however you like. I wish you just as much success in that. As someone who has bicycle commuted for decades and seen the to reluctance for people to adopt that even in cycling friendly progressive towns, I'm glad to see the issue being addressed in a way that accepts people's desires rather than force to change them. It seems more effective even though it is not the vision for the world I want.

Starting a car company has got to be one of the least likely ways to make money. A major US car company has not become successful since the mid 20th century. And history is littered with failed car companies. There are a whole lot of reasons to not like Musk. Risking his fortune and putting his time and effort into killing off one of the most polluting, wealthy, and entrenched industries when by far the most likely outcome was failure is not one of them. We saw quite clearly how the fossil fuel industry treated scientists and activists making global warming a known issue by making huge efforts to muddy the issues and create disinformation. But I'm sure nothing of the sort is happening regarding Musk just because his companies threaten gasoline and legacy auto industry profits. And anyways, educated liberals are immune to that sort of disinformation.

Social media is a huge source of disinformation and propaganda. Perhaps it really is best for people to rethink their relationship to is or even stop using it altogether.

Ultra-precise resistor values have been possible for as long as there have been good meters. It turns out that's a very long time ago.

The numerology makes a lot of sense if you are working with 0.1% tolerance parts. Lower tolerances have actually gotten more popular as electronics have become more cost-sensitive.
Trumpism?
Partly UX, partly marketing, partly L1 fees and speed. Partly that a lot of people don’t know what Uniswap is. It gets a passing mention in the news if lucky, or more likely no mention, even though it’s the second largest crypto exchange on some days. Most crypto CEX investors are either unaware or too lazy to care.

A lot of crypto people do use Uniswap. The tone of Vitalik’s post is: what if we took some of the non custodial, on-chain, cryptographic proof things that work well in a DEX, and inject them into more CEXes so that even lazy users end up with better security guarantees.
A while back there was a post here about MyNoise and I do find that it helps concentration in the office, but I think it's primarily because it blocks you from hearing/understanding conversations nearby. The conversation blocker works well for me.

Already true in many implementations. The committee is just catching up with reality ;-(
> It is strange how reluctant programmers are to spend on tools even though they are, as a rule, quite willing to let themselves be paid handsomely for their services.

Ability to find someone willing to pay XYZ for foobar does not imply that I am willing to pay the same amount of money for something similar.

In fact, by doing this exact transactions it means that I find such transaction advantageous for me.

Also, I had enough stories of lock-in and losing access to proprietary systems that I prefer vastly inferior open source.

Also, I am not aware of paid systems worth paying for.

I use primarily Linux (Lubuntu), git, Codium, Python, Kotlin, pgsql, Android Studio, LibreOffice, Firefox, uBlock Origin, Leechblock, sqlite.

For what I can pay that makes it worth it? For contributing back, I prefer working on code over donations (due to geoeconomical situation and ability too direct my effort precisely where I care about things over donations often being wasted)
The problem is that most such schemes end up requiring both a blockchain and an established centralized authority, because the blockchain doesn't actually solve the problem its meant to solve (since the only problem it solves is distributed consensus on the order of events in the blockchain - no more, no less).
No one's trying to hide anything. The target users of project management systems, product owners and anyone with with a project manager title, typically neither care about nor understand the value of rework. In their view, the dev teams should be creating maximum value at all times, which they understand as either adding features or putting out fires. Rework tickets do not get prioritized until they're identified as the cause of lost value.

The inevitable question is "well why wasn't it written correctly to begin with?" even if the reason, as is typical, was pressure from product managers in the first place.
I am working on iroh, a rust implementation of ipfs.

I have to say that while this dismissal is shallow, it is ...not entirely incorrect... . There is certainly a lot of room for improvement in the current state of ipfs.

We would love to change your mind about ipfs performance and reliability. Once we got a version of iroh that is ready for production, we would be quite happy to let you try it out and get your feedback.

As far as I can see there is no fundamental reason why a set of protocols for content-addressed storage like ipfs can not be fast and reliable.
For me there was an unknown psychological dependency on my inhaler due to anxiety.

The paranoia of needing the inhaler due to allergies/whatever would itself trigger a panic attack.

Since my ADHD diagnosis (aged 38!) I can happily leave the house without the inhaler without fear of needing it - but only when I'm on stimulant meds.

The ADHD diagnosis has brought to light several things which I never knew would be connected.

The meds are life changing in many ways more than just help with concentration.

> we both have email hosting in Europe

If this is for privacy reasons, I have to point it out that the GDPR protects the data of people that are physically in the EU. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm not sure this applies to non-EU citizens that just happen to deposit some of their data in the EU without being physically here. Maybe you should delve in this corner case deeper, or if you did, I'm curious to know the answer.
The world seems replete with similar falsehoods these days, to prevent us from caring about the real criminals.

People pay for services around this technology. They pay not for the technology itself, cause there are many other provider. Nobody would use Docker or Vagrant, if they use the same pricing strategy as all competitors before. Red Hat Linux is free, but the company make money, but not directly with the core.
Nobody ever would buy a Android license, google has other strategies to make money.

There is a WIP desktop client which is targeting linux phones: https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-desktop#design-goa...
> [Andy Jassey] said something like this: “All these leaders [CIOs and CTOs of huge enterprises] are asking me what our blockchain strategy is. They tell me that everyone’s saying it’s the future, the platform that’s going to obsolete everything else. I need to have a good answer for them. I’ll be honest, when they explain why it’s wonderful I just don’t get it. You guys got to go figure it out for us.”

To me the tell is not just that Andy didn't understand.

It's that all of these leaders said "everyone says it's the future", but not one of them said "I have this problem and here's how blockchain solves it for me."
Stars have always been popular. How's about a red star?
How about for sharing data between semi-co-operating companies?

One problem with sharing data between multiple parties is that you need somewhere central to store it, somewhere that's ultimately trusted. If you decide to trust one party, they could still make mistakes, have downtime, stop supporting the project that requires the shared data, or go rogue.

I'm perhaps too ignorant of blockchain, but could it help with this scenario? Does it give a better promise of availability and more trust in its consistency and integrity?

edit: I'm thinking here of a blockchain whose only users are this group of companies, not a public system. I don't know if a blockchain becomes useless when it is only used by a small group.

One fun bit of hypocrisy here is Twitch banned all the bitcoin casino sites from being streamed after a scandal, but they have a huge sports betting contract so that's still a ok.
They’re job is to ask the right people the right questions.

Logically I’d you’re covering some topic a reporter should seek out contrarian opinions. Not because they’re right, but because they provide another perspective.

They don’t even do that. Some article about crypto will just talk to crypto companies and fans.

But I suspect the real reason is article like “Some people like crypto and others don’t” doesn’t sell ad space.

Yup, as of 1.21 drain was still basically a `kubectl` thing – seems like they provided an API for Evictions and for some reason decided not extend that to offer a full 'drain this node' API. That said, Metal3 controllers provide some of this functionality in case you need to manage a bare-metal worker cluster.
Wave energy is massively underutilized and underexplored IMO. This (in the linked article) seems like a relative simple and robust way to harvest it when the geography permits, with all the installation and maintenance directly accessible from land.

There are no doubt other techniques that might scale better, but one doesn't have to exclude the other.
It sounds like the problem thinking they're trying to address here is the idea, "I'm suffering because I've done something bad and am being punished by God."

But if they think this kind of thinking is directly linked to religion, then it's just ignorance and bigotry. Consider the folloing quote: "Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is you're stupid and make bad decisions." The people I know who most strongly connect with that quote have all been (right-wing) atheists.

By contrast, consider the following quotes:

'As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him."' (John 9:1-2)

'Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.' (James 1:2-4)

'In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.' (1 Peter 6-7)

'Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.' (Hebrews 12:7-11)

In other words, Christianity says that far from suffering always being a punishment from God for bad behavior, it is sometimes a gift from God to accomplish a greater purpose.

So consider three hypothetical universes:

1. Nearly all your suffering is your fault; the result of God's wrath and/or the natural consequence of your own bad choices.

2. Most suffering is pointless. It has no meaning or benefit or blame; it just happens.

3. Suffering can be valuable. It is allowed by God because it achieves higher purposes; we as individuals , and the universe at large, are both better off because of the suffering.

I agree with the authors, that universe #2 (if true) is better than universe #1. But universe #3 -- the universe actually described by Christianity -- is even better.
