IIRC one of the exchanges (might have been Bitstamp or Binance) let me withdraw some crypto assets with no KYC. I accidentally made two accounts and deposited on both, then when doing KYC they refused to approve the second account, as you can only have one per their terms of service. Support advised me to just withdraw crypto assets from the unverified account to the verified one.
The event happened 80 years ago. I don't know what the statute of limitations is here, but I would guess that it's passed by now.

Edit: it's a story from 1988, so at the time it was only 45 years ago.
I totally get what you say and respect it but I can also understand what the author means by saying that. Perhaps he did it in a very radical/too opinionated manner. Let me explain: When I am interviewing someone, I also like to ask about opinions on tooling they like/use. For example, the person I am interviewing has on his/her CV that has plenty of experience with Terraform (or I can infer it from the work experience section). One question I would ask is: What do you find good and bad about it? This helps me to get a clue about the reasoning process of the person (e.g "This person uses this tool blindly because is the mainstream thing to do" or "that decision came from a more or less rational analysis and has made the exercise of considering the flaws"). I value this because personally, I want people that can understand the consequences of a technical decision, not fanboys that learnt how to use a hammer at some point and
never asked themselves if a hammer is the right thing to use (or even if they are using it right).
The older form simply asked for a username and a password in addition to the email, so I'd say "you have no idea what else they're going to ask for" is a bit overstated.

I signed up for Smile a few years back but, since it required shopping via smile.amazon.co.uk rather than plain old amazon.co.uk, I hardly ever remembered to use it. There was too much muscle memory already invested in typing "ama..." into my browser address bar and following the autocomplete.

Amazon could have made it a lot more frictionless by having Smile donation as something you could set up in your site preferences, which was then automatically applied to every purchase. Or could have had it as an option to tick at checkout.

But, I imagine that, from their point of view it was better to have the added complication of shopping via a separate subdomain in place, as it minimised the number of people who would actually remember to use it, thus minimising Amazon's charitable payouts, whilst still making them look good, for having such a facility in place.

Bit at least Smile didn't cost the customer anything. eBay have an even more cynical approach. At checkout, they ask you do you want to add an extra £1 charitable donation to your purchase which, no doubt, they take the credit for. Given the eye-watering fees they charge, maybe they could dip into their own pockets for their charitable munificence, rather than try to shake down their users.

Those are (except for one) all things that have been about to be massively revolutionary any day now for my entire life, and I'm in my 50s. Recessions generally only last for a few years, with a few more years of hangover after that. Lets say in the 3 to 5 year range before we're (hopefully) solidly into recovery. For a technology to actually make a material economic difference in that time frame it needs to have been out of the lab and going into mass adoption right now.

In 2008 the iPhone was already out and the App Store was launched that year, but arguably the smartphone didn't become a significant economic factor until around 2012. All the other services paulpauper cited as playing a role in the post 2008 recovery had been out for years, some of them almost a decade, but they just hit critical mass where they became economically impactful around then.

Green tech is the main exception, it's solidly into the steep phase of the adoption curve and has received a massive boots in investment in the last 12 months as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act*, plus the Ukraine war and the pivot away from Russian hydrocarbons.

* Gotta love US bill names. You just know the "Cute kittens appreciation act" is going to cull and stuff all the cute kittens.
Someone always makes a comment like this about meat substitutes.

Wether you pick the vegetarian or meat-based option, there’s a lot of reasons why someone would choose a processed slice, sausage or whatever over cooking from scratch.
I have a very obscure allergy to some specific compounds in some medication. It gives me a rash, nothing serious. I'm always very diligent in mentioning what little I still remember about that allergy.
These products exist _because_ your claims about mushrooms and quinoa being acceptable (and somewhat available) just aren't true. There seems to be this army of people who say "compressed vegetables in a circle" are acceptable burger alternatives; they're really not.

This market isn't for existing vegans/vegetarians in most cases, it's for people curious about going that way or cutting down their consumption.

Sausages always seemed such obvious candidates. Many nondry sausages are already often a majority nonmeat. They get their flavor already from plant derived flavorants. Yet mostly fake meat products are burger and chicken nugget replacements.

I've got to say, the fake chicken schnitzels are the first one that I really can't distinguish from the real chicken schnitzel. (Before the purists pour in, yes, compared to supermarket chicken schnitzel, which moreover isn't a real schnitzel anyway.)

Or maybe some things get worse and some things get better and we should stop pretending that it's impossible for things to get worse in tech.

It reminds me of when I see old photos and everyone is dressed up so much more nicely than today. And people either respond with "akshually hoodies are just as nice as pin stripe suits" (come on, you know they're not) or "oh what you want to go back to leaded petrol and no personal computers and smoking everywhere and drink driving?" (no, just the clothes).

Nuance people, jeez. You can pick and choose things in the past that were better or weren't.
Does the cooking itself add sodium? Salting isn't mandatory, and there are tons of spices you can add if you want some extra taste that aren't salt (i know this might be anathema to some who think seasoning starts and stops with salt and maybe pepper but it's true, try it out!).
I don't see it purely as a policy problem. Plant-based meats are primarily focused on the US market, and so outside the US these brands can't compete in price either for price-conscious consumers, lacking supply chains that employ cheap domestic labor.
If we really needed that, all our homes would be already equipped with a system that move our dirty clothes to an external storage for a laundry service to pickup and a system that would pick up cleaned up and ironed clothes and would automatically store them in the correct wardrobe based on a tag system on the clothing. An automatic system similar to what manage big warehouses. It wouldn't be that complicated provided the house is build with that in mind and it could surely be retrofited to older houses by making holes in a few walls. It would be much more efficient than a mobile home robot.

The reason we don't do that is we are control freaks.

I like how these articles come out to tell us something most of us knew from the start. There is something to be said about the wisdom of repugnance. You're supposed to hear "fake meat" and think "gross." That is why most people react that way.
Temporary containers are great but sometimes there are problems with logins or payments where a sote can't redirect back to where it has to. This leads me to temporarily turn off temporary containers which kind of defeats the whole point.
The numbers I can find do suggest high percentage growth in Europe, but growth on numbers that are small compared to the US. Something like ~$7B in sales in plant based meat in the US, and ~$3B in sales for Europe. So maybe a bit early to judge? Meaning, maybe there's a similar plateau for EU, but it hasn't gotten there yet?

Agreed. The article itself also mentions it:

> Not that different today, includes are you a war criminal or wanted by Nuremberg and are you a islamic terrorist no? Similarly there's still increased rules if you
have been to particular places

Those are widely different questions. These people were affirmatively not war criminals nor wanted by Nuremberg. And they were not equivalent of islamic terrorists either - the equivalent of that would be membership in stasi or so.

This would be analogical to "was you muslim" or "did you had membership in Mosque".
I have a similar war story, from a university. The portal where students see their grades had several full-time consultants working non-stop for a few months and wasn't gonna be ready on time. The interface was confusing, and different campi were different business entities legally, so students required multiple login sessions if they took courses on different buildings (they had to pick a campus at the login page).

Teachers were about to be instructed to give grades to students via e-mail by the Dean.

I then saw the one database table on the teacher's portal DB that contained all the grades and knocked off a new screen in 1-2 hours in an existing system I maintained. A single remote database query, an HTML table, good looking layout. It was easier to use, more secure (SSO and 2FA), more performant, better looking and better-isolated (no DB write access needed).

The biggest hurdle was political, of course. I was probably too slow, to do it, if anything. But I was definitely 300x faster than the consultants.
It's not when desirability of fnurbification negatively correlates to other items, i.e. when following is normal config:

> but it’s basically cow meat vs a burger containing 50 random items and chemicals that is worse or equal in nutritional content then cow.

Is that the central north american urban choice palette?

Here in rural Australia our meat intake (albeit < %20 of total food intake) is lamb from the farm, ham from the farm, fish from the ocean, camel, kangaroo, goat.

Camel and goat are introduced feral animals that overstock and get routinely culled - they're not feed lot cattle, and anybody eating them is arguably doing the local environment a favour by denting the numbers.

Kangaroos are culled by population monitoring estimates, they have a tendancy to explode in numbers in the good years and die by the hundreds of thousands in the dry years that follow.

It's decades at least since I ate meat that didn't come from a known location, killed and butched | filleted by someone known, and passed on either directly or through a single known intermediary.

That said - kangaroo, camel, and goat make an interesting alternative to beef - the meat is lean and comes at a much lower environmental impact.
Agreed, I am not vegetarian, but when I want to eat vegeatarian dishes the last thing I ever want to get is fake meat.
As I understand it, most of the ingredients are just extracts from or purifications of natural products. I'm not just saying this to defend plant-based meats - it's true of many chemicals with scary-looking names in other foods. "Calcium pantothenate", for instance, is just a salt of the essential vitamin B5. "Ascorbic acid" is vitamin C. And so on.

And it's worth bearing in mind that the ingredients list of a steak would be just one item - beef - but red meat consumption is nonetheless associated with increases in certain cancers and cardiovascular problems. This is even more true for processed red meat which, realistically, represents a big share of most people's red meat consumption.

Stupid idea by Troy Hunt
I find the "chicken" pieces to be the best meat substitute.

They're not exactly like chicken but if you treat them as their own thing then they're a perfectly good substitute in things like stir fries.

Quorn bacon substitute rashers are also pretty good in a fry up. Again, they're not bacon but if you treat them as their own thing, very enjoyable.

Not sure anything substitutes for a good steak or nice bit of cod yet but that's only an occasional treat for us anyway.

Well the web is designed to be async and not single threaded synchronous like games need to be for consistent rendering. I doubt there's any guarantee that whatever setInterval will actually run at those millisecond times specified and if not you'll drop frames of course, and requestAnimationFrame is even less reliable since it's browser specific. That's just the nature of the beast.

On the other hand I've written a thing or two in webgl and haven't seen really seen what you're describing. Could be that the high and mighty Google programmers are just too pompous to notice a bug in their afterthought of a game.

That's not how he's suggesting it would work. All checks would normally be applied to build a "how human are you" or "humanness" score. He's suggesting a pwned email test and arguing it would be a good signal for "humanness". The implementation might not make it an explicit penalty (-1 to your "humanness" score), but not being pwned might not help your case (+1 if you are pwned, but +0 if you're not).
FWIW, the ones on iOS have always been something you could drag. As far as I have ever understood, all of the UI controls on iOS were designed to be skeuomorphic in a way that directly made sense for someone futzing with their fingers: you push buttons, you scroll a WHEEL to work with selection boxes, and flip switches to toggle options (which also, notably and at the time almost specifically on Apple products, take place immediately with no concept of "Apply", and aren't part of a "form" metaphor).
It’s important not to fall into the trap of hindsight. At the time, they very well thought it was important, but it of course seems silly once you hear the full story.
Gigabyte produced a dual slot 3090 for a little while before Nvidia pressured them to discontinue production[0].

I suppose we might see "slimmer" 4090s at some point but even if the design is (somehow) possible it's clear Nvidia won't allow their partners to manufacture dual slot versions of RTX cards that could possibly compete with higher end cards.

> I’d feel better if the ingredients list wasn’t as long as my arm.

If you listed the "ingredients" in a cow, you'd also have a list that was as long as the proverbial limb. Proteins, fats, sugars, enzymes, hormones, antibiotics (quite likely with factory farming), microorganisms... it's just our labelling laws that mean they get to be lumped together as "meat". They're still chemicals assembled by organic nanotech.

We know some of them are bad. E.g. there's a link between red meat consumption and colorectal cancer, and nitrites in bacon etc. also increase cancer risk.

> Slowly and over generations it could change to be predominantly.

Slowly over generations is really not the approach we need for tackling climate change though.

And I don't think anyone is doing that.

Unit tests assert implementation behaviour to aid refactoring. If developers misunderstand the spec, the unit tests can be valid. They don't assert developer understanding.

Say it with me, unit tests are to aid refactoring.

If we mix QA and implementation details just because both sides use the word "test" it ends in trouble.

QA should be blind to unit test coverage or even usage at all, they're totally independent concerns.

A passing unit test says nothing against correctness of product against a spec or design... only that it works and continues to work as a developer intended, to aid the work of future developers, even if they misunderstood the spec.

Your comment is at the core of why QA is a total mess. Everyone is confused about what "test" means in different contexts.

Why have a QA function at all with 100% unit test coverage? Because the unit tests may encode misunderstanding by developers. They're there to fight entropy, not wrongness.

QA, using BDD and other tools, ensure the product is correct, regardless of how well it fights entropy by unit tests.

> - there was no way to make CMD/CTRL+T open a new tab in the same container context as the one you were currently in. To me, this seems like an obvious UX flaw. If you’re browsing in a container, the actions you’re doing should keep you in that container unless you consciously want to switch.

There's still no quick, default shortcut for this, but you can use this add-on to give you that functionality: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/easy-containe...

FWIW, the main add-on (Multi Account Containers) lets you do Cmd + Shift + {number} to open a new tab in a specific container -- but I admit that's still some cognitive overhead compared to just doing something like Cmd + Opt + T to open a tab in the same container as your current tab.

> - building on that, there was no option to right click and open a link in a different container.

This is absolutely in the main add-on now, and I use it regularly!
> But I don’t really know if modern buildings would want a large or small thermal mass.

This depends on climate.

When the outside temperature changes, the building will eventually get itself to the outside temperature (thermodynamics laws). How fast that change would happen exactly — depends on thermal resistance and thermal mass.

Thermal resistance acts as an amplifier (or rather diminisher) of that changing force: the higher the resistance, the lower is the force, and so more time for the change to take effect.

Thermal mass acts as a momentum against that changing force: the higher the mass, the more time for the change to take effect.

In some climates (e.g. south Europe) the outside temperature is only a problem on winter nights and on summer days. You are only fighting the outside weather for hours on end. And you can effectively make that fight with large thermal mass alone.

In other climates (e.g. north Europe) the low temperatures at winter can come for months, so you want mass, resistance, and inside heating.
Perhaps that long list of innovations has something to do with the startups founded in 2008.
Im vegan. I eat "fake meat" products all the time. I get to enjoy everything I used to eat... without the meat. Personally, I really enjoy them.
As a consumer, I want a good vegan protein source that isn't carb-heavy and is easy to cook with, whether or not it's a fake meat. Something with the same macros as skinless chicken breast (75% balanced protein by calorie, 25% fat) would be perfect.

Tempeh is okay but fattier and closer to a steak. TVP is higher protein but has carbs instead of fats. Pea protein powder is perfect but I have no idea how to use large quantities of it in a solid meal.
