I get the general concept, but trying to apply it to bank deposits is terrible. The whole point of banking regulations and FDIC insurance are to make it so banks are an abstraction where the customers don't have to care what a bank is invested in (for better and for worse). The straightforward way to reduce the risk of bank runs is to increase the reserve requirements which I believe is the exact opposite of what the Fed has been doing.
A Raspberry PI 3 Model B running Raspbian with Homebridge
I have

- A Jenkins instance, for various purposes (cf. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25391401)

- A webservice to download music, videos and store it locally for future use.

- Another webservice to store all my photos and access them.

- A TOR hidden service to access all the above when I am overseas.

It's worth noting that they are all Raspberry Pis to which 3.5" hard drives are hooked.
What is org-mode?
Yup. All of humanity spent a year-plus with our media screaming at us to avoid every other human as a potential threat. Who could have known that could have lasting effects?
This. And the mission creep for teachers: more standardized tests every year it seems, hall duty, lunch duty, increased professional training, individualized programs for more and more students (wife had more than 20%), etc... When she was still teaching I would ask my wife if they ever had any actual classes.

The high school my kids go to changed completely across covid. From no discipline problems to daily fights, vandalism, and generally (many) students ignoring anything short of police presence.

Teachers are quitting in droves in a top tier school district. The only saving grace here is that it's a district that people want to get into, so they get pulled from somewhere else. I can only imagine what's going on elsewhere.

Why, I’d wager that, with modern Victorian transportation, a man could travel all the way around the world in less than eighty days. Meet me on the steps of the Reform club!

Phileas Fogg’s example Suggests that at the height of the ‘sun never sets’ era, nowhere should have been more than 40 days away from London. And with a significant chunk of that time stuck transiting the pacific, brings the majority of the world into the 30 day window for a single month.
I think it's more than just about competition. If the whole point of a subreddit is to critique each other's work and discuss process etc., someone coming in with AI-generated art isn't going to further those goals, and the risk is that the subreddit gets overrun by the AI art and no longer be focused on its original subject matter.
I spent like 200 bucks on several pairs the same color smartwool socks and got rid of most of my cotton socks. One of the best decisions I have made.
If you don't mind reflashing a player's firmware and sometimes a bit of hacking, Rockbox supports many (mostly old, unfortunately) players, but by being Open Source and not tied to any proprietary cloud or similar service, it doesn't prevent the user from moving and/or sharing their music files, since the players essentially become USB drives without any restrictions.

https://www.rockbox.org/

I installed it on both my Sansa Clip Zip players, and kept it until the day the last one of them died. Unfortunately I couldn't find a new device for installing it and had to settle for a cheap player with surprisingly good hardware, but also the crappiest firmware I have ever seen.

> Why are URNs not more popular?

For the same reason that lots of general-purpose classification schemes are not popular: they are brittle and unstable. They smear information out into awkward and hard-to-reuse hierarchies. I refer you to https://www.gwern.net/docs/technology/2005-04-shirky-ontolog...

It's about an hour or two or a day.

This includes data from 1995 on. The early data is backfill of radio shows that transitioned to podcasts and dumped old episodes in their feed at some point. My reader itself started in 2012, I downloaded around 7000 hours of new podcasts, which works out to 1.7 hours per day. So, around 2 hours per day, since I don't listen every day, and to be fair, I haven't listened to every podcast I've downloaded, some don't interest me. But 1-2 hours of listening a day is the sweet spot for me.
Mine lines up with yours: Fastmail has been great, Proton started okay and has gotten progressively worse.
For being "hacker" news you would expect creative or even unconventional uses of home servers.

Instead many posts are a collection of corporate buzzwords as people are bringing home their jobs, from k8s to vmware to Jenkins.

Admittedly the upvoted posts improved a lot after the first hour tho.
I'm pretty sure /r/Wargroove was company run (and well run) mind you. Its not necessarily a bad thing to have company run subreddits. But it should be clear when its an "official" vs "unofficial / fan-run" subreddit.
> So LiteFS turns sqlite into a client server database. But SQLite being embedded is what gives it its low latency in the first place. So, I kind of have to ask - what's point? Just prefering the way sqlite does SQL over postgres?

LiteFS author here. Some other folks responded but I'll try to clarify here. LiteFS keeps SQLite as an embedded database so it maintains low latency. It injects itself as a passthrough file system so it can track changes with each transaction. On the replica side, it mostly acts like a separate SQLite process would in that it obtains the same locks as SQLite and applies page change sets to the database.

tl;dr from the application perspective, it just looks like a SQLite database. I mean, it is. We just capture change sets and propagate them behind the scenes.
KVM is a bit of a lie since I'm not switching monitor (both plugged in & switching via OSD).

If enough code is recalled verbatim, I can sue the author of that code. That seems to fit entirely with this case -- they are suing the owner of Copilot, partially because it reproduces chunks of code.
Dude his books literally mention that child sacrifice is the most powerful form of sacrifice and thereby the most abundant source of magical power... then he goes on to say "but I dont condone that or anything... wink wink nudge nudge"

He had at least 1 child die of straight up neglect because he went out of his way to find the most messed up alcoholic woman he could find to procreate with so that she would be easy to manipulate. When Crowley says he is wicked he is not bullshitting. The guys lifes mission was to transgress every boundary that exists in the western world. Why would you have trouble believing that he harmed children?

Beyond that though, he openly brags about raping (though he frames it as consensual) his friend and apprentice victor noidburg.

Crowley apologists make no sense to me. The guy went out of his way to be evil in every way imagineable. Why wouldnt you believe that he's evil?
Ain't this the truth!
Another angle: how much non-reporting is due to mistrust of police, and how much is due to police explicitly telling crime victims not to report or that a report will be useless, because they are trying to politically undermine a progressive DA?

But I think there need to be actual studies on reporting rates and reasons for non-reporting before too much pure speculation is applied to dismiss these statistics. People have been making arguments close to the above for years if not decades, at some point one would assume the reporting rate would stabilize.
Not that I could find any news about. Someone did sue Apple back in May about hearing damage caused by an amber alert, but I can't see any progress on that since then -- and "someone has sued" is pretty weak evidence of anything, in the US legal system.

In ear monitor, I believe. The "headphones" that some musicians use on stage to hear themselves. I have heard that you can get them custom made to fit your own ears for a perfect fit.
Note that if you buy it on itch.io you also get a Steam key.
So if you count both separately and add the numbers, you'll probably count too many.

Signing Git Commits with SSH Keys (2021)
I wonder if/how a hard limit on number of communities moderated would work? Make it so one person could only mod 2-3 subreddits. Unfortunately, this would require some work from Reddit the company to keep those same powermods from just making new accounts so probably won't happen.
The counts were determined using a web analytics package which presumably can separate crawler downloads from real users.
Both ubuntu and fedora work well out of the box. Several other distros work well too. Are you suggesting they ship a linux distro by default?

Reddit mods are ineffective or harmful a lot of the time, but so is Reddit itself in how it incentivizes thankless moderation and oversized and noisy communities for the purpose of ads and their upcoming IPO. Most non-niche subreddits could be replaced by ChatGPT at this point.
Not really the same thing. Snow in low-altitude stations is running out. Bringing it in via helicopter is not gonna work forever. People cannot keep relying on it for their income.
I often search for an error message from software, get nothing useful from DDG, then add the "!g" and find exactly my problem.
Awesome. If you need any assistance feel free to ask :)
That's just Reddit.. I don't think we should take any Reddit community. Seriously because it is run by Reddit mods who have proven countless times to be absolutely terrible at their job.
It depends on the emulator, across pretty much every platform that uses a joystick or d-pad, but in my experience the default most commonly is no left+right input at the same time. (It's semantics as to whether the implementation is "allow left+right input" defaulted to off, or "prevent left+right input" defaulted to on.)
> I've had my fair share of terrible moderators on Reddit

Welcome to the internet, the same thing could be said about every web forum since the 90s.

> There's not much to do aside from start a rival subreddit

Yes, that's the system working as intended. You don't have any right to the subreddit any more than the people who got there first. There have been many successful offshoot subreddits that go on to eclipse their predecessors in size if the new subreddit is actually better.
> Because you shouldn't be able to control other people's devices just because they happened to connect to your Wi-Fi.

Why? If it's my network, why should I not have control over all the traffic on it?
“…bankrupt by now”

or

“why do things not scale how i want them to”

I was in Italy this summer and the AirBnB had an ancient Mokapot. It made great coffee-like-stuff. Came home and bought one... it tastes terrible. Every couple of days I'll make a pot hoping to season the device. Sadly, I'm about to give up. I might be nomading it soon, so no big purchases, but if I was buying a house my first purchase would be a proper espresso machine.
My desk (and monitor) are covered with post-it notes and notepads where I jot down things I mean to go back to (sometimes I do, sometimes I don't). I also have tabs and files where I cut and paste links into for future reference.

This is /r/art by the way and based on the blurb and about section it seems less about art and more about fulfilling the deranged power fantasies of its moderators. What an unfriendly place.

Nice to hear the artist has gotten a more positive response in /r/drawing.
When Gmail launched, people were writing this exact same comment about how Yahoo and Hotmail aren't going anywhere.
> Are you suggesting I should sent a complaint about the support to TMobile to get it in line with my expectations?

As before, "should" cannot be answered in good faith, but a request for support ("Can you help me with my problem?") is very different to a complaint ("You have not resolved my problem."). People are going to do what they are going to do, but traditionally people will request support first and file a complaint only after that request failed to achieve resolution. Have you first requested support for the problem you have with support?

> If it is all just 'pipes' and phones and Twitter is in the same category, then the difference is that it is a different company.

And different companies go to where their particular customers live. If customers live on social media, social media is where the company will place their effort. That doesn't mean there won't be any effort to try and help others in other places, but there is only so much time in the day.
The national clime victimization survey excludes homicides. And even if you’re not the one killed, homicides have ripple impacts across the community. There was a teenager working as a cashier at the lunch place in my office. Really nice kid—I saw him several times a week. He was shot and killed in one of those random shootings that’s all too common in DC, and which became a lot more common since 2020.

Recently I contacted Citi bank which kept sending me spam, including "bank statements" I could not access, which makes perfect sense given that I don't have an account with them.

I was told that they had no record of me and that if I want to be super duper sure they're right I should send a physical letter with a scan of my Id to their offices.

After another few months of getting spammed by them, I sent them a GDPR data subject request instead. After a few days I received a message stating that:

1) my email was removed from their mailing list (yay)

2) they didn't/process have any of my personal data, but

3) since I shared my personal data with them _via the data subject request_, they're obliged to keep it

I'm not angry, I just enjoy the irony and absurdity of the entire situation. In a sense, large orgs like this are as coherent as GPT-3 is away of what it's talking about.
I feel like I'm missing something here. Are you saying the optimal strategy is to withdraw early, keep your mouth shut, and then...die? Are these schemes usually long-lasting enough that a non-trivial number of people who invest early would be expected to die by the time they're discovered?
AI has reached a point where aesthetics and technique are no longer hurdles. You can literally prompt gibberish and get back a highly aesthetic image that is completely boring and irrelevant.

So, the challenge is still to dig deep and make something interesting and relevant. The hurdles are removed. The gates are wide open. You can make anything. So… what will you actually make?
My partner and I have put holes in merino wool after a month of use. Merino is NOT abrasion resistant if you're active. We're trying out Nuyarn, a merino blend that claims more loft and abrasion resistance (should also be lighter weight).

For moisture management/warmth in colder weather, we're also checking out mesh baselayers [1] since merino does not dry quickly under multiple layers.

If this lawsuit succeeds, I have a startup idea that I think would be effective.

Create a for-profit copyright registry for code snippets that are long enough to qualify for copyright protection. You can be the canonical owner of the copyright for a given piece of code! For a premium fee, we can generate and submit a patent on your behalf as well.

Once I have a large corpus (perhaps millions of entries of code, most one or two lines long), I can automatically scan new respositories and send cease and desist letters for violating my client's copyright. Even if a piece of code is very common, that doesn't mean its unoriginal, it just means that there are many people violating its copyright after all. According to the logic of the folks in this thread at least.

Solo Stove bonfire pit. It burns so efficiently and is pretty much idiot proof. They work great here in Minnesota winters, and are nice when you have people over for parties and they throw crappy wood in there that would normally smoke a bunch. We've also had solo stoves out in the middle of the street for block parties. Highly recommend.
“England with its American colonies” as an example of overstretching this limit?

They only play out awkwardly because one or both of the participants don't remember the rules.

And yes, I agree with the inexcusable example you gave -- it's like the person who stops dead to let some car left turn through traffic. "Oh they've been waiting a while and I'm not in a hurry today I'll be a nice person" Yeah that's great for you but you just caused a damn traffic jam behind you and maybe someone behind you WAS in a rush. You just inconvenienced upwards of a dozen+ people to help one person. You were a net loss on society's progress in that moment.
I think this is something that everyone just adopts society's views on. I would wager most of the miners didn't care about the canaries at all. In early America people shot bison from trains for the hell of it. "The railroads began to advertise excursions for “hunting by rail,” where trains encountered massive herds alongside or crossing the tracks. Hundreds of men aboard the trains climbed to the roofs and took aim, or fired from their windows, leaving countless 1,500-pound animals where they died." https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/where-the-buffalo-no-...
I don't like the limitations of cassettes, but in their heyday, they readily handled the important social activity of music swapping:

* ubiquity: everyone had a tape player at home. The cool kids had portable players

* uniqueness: people did not have _your mixtape_ unless you gave it to them. You wrote/drew on the inlay to personalize it and make it yours

* contemplation: you couldn't just seek straight to particular tracks, you'd typically listen to the whole thing, give it your full attention

* peer-to-peer: no third parties involved

* cost: tapes were cheap enough that you wouldn't be ruined if someone didn't give a tape back

* the object itself: they're a nice size and shape so they don't easily get lost. You need to handle them to play the music. They remind you they're there, they remind you of the person who gave them to you

This continued in the 1990s/2000s with CD-Rs, but the flatness of them and that you generally dumped the audio off the CD-R onto your hard drive meant that they ended up in piles and you forgot about them. Unless people went to extra effort to burn a single-track mix, you just ripped them and merged them into your own collection and the attribution that your friend gave you it was lost. You didn't have to listen to the whole thing at once, you paid less attention to it.

Nowadays, you're screwed. You could put files on a flash drive, but those are easily lost and always expensive. You _will_ miss them when they're lent out, and most I've ever lent out have never come back. They're only ever a conduit for files, good luck writing a tracklisting on the side of them. If you're just hosting the files on the internet, there's no physical object to remind people any more.

That said, it is still nice for people to upload things for each other to a shared dropbox, and people still appreciate a "DJ mix" you've made with as a single file with its own artwork, but I'd say that requires a bit more effort than putting mixtapes together did.
I haven't played the Steam version, but it's my understanding the menus aren't keyboard-based anymore. That alone is a massive undertaking, Dwarf Fortress has an insane number of submenus for them to figure out good GUI places for them all.

Everything used to just be in a central massive "press a single letter for this specific submenu" sub-screen on the right third of the screen, with multiple submenus to navigate to what you're trying to do.
