I have lived in a city with what in the USA passes for "decent" public transportation: Chicago. And I used it. But a "city" like L.A. will never have sufficient trains, because it's a giant county masquerading as a city. It's unlikely that a citizen works close enough to home to do anything except drive there.

That's why the endless proselytizing about "Let's be Amsterdam!" is soooo tiresome. We're not fucking Amsterdam and never will be. I love Amsterdam, but it's just not applicable.

Also the vilification of houses is obnoxious and dumb. The USA is not "full." Some people actually want to DO things, like garden or have a workshop or a swing set or a kiln. That means they want a HOUSE, and guess what? It's a hell of a lot better than covering up every square foot of ground with concrete for high-density apartment blocks, preventing water from percolating into aquifers and intensifying the permanent drought that reigns over much of the west.

Not to mention the "heat islands" that endless densification creates, and the trees destroyed for it.

The endless bellyaching by fake liberals about "zoning" serves as a smokescreen for corruption: a handout to developers and a license to destroy already-residential areas, while giant dead malls with boarded up Macy's stores and vast concrete parking lots sit growing weeds. THOSE have already imposed costs on the environment and are already "high-density," so until every one of those is redeveloped (along with every defunct commercial or manufacturing zone) we should never be targeting neighborhoods with actual HOUSES.

Zoning is USEFUL. It allows people to choose the kind of neighborhood they want to live in. People who want density and walkability have downtown. People who want a house can choose neighborhoods zoned for houses. And some neighborhoods blend the two pretty effectively. But pretending that zoning is always a racist, elitist conspiracy is infantile at best and more often an excuse to destroy neighborhoods for someone else's profit.
Treating animals as anything more than "pets" or "food" here on Earth would inevitably raise questions about animal rights, ethics of our handling of planet's resources, etc.

We would rather eat live octopuses and pretend that finding life on other planets is more important than saving life on this one.

For legitimate use cases - I think the .us domain was doomed when the US government forbid using anonymizing proxies for the domain registrant’s contact information.

If you register one - you need to provide complete contact information, and that will be publicly available via Whois.

I still get spam calls offering “Web Design” services for the .us domain I naively bought 8 year ago, even though it’s 7 years expired.
It also doesn't say that the shares were paid for with wire transaction as opposed to physical cash in stacks of $100 bill, but that also is what happened.

> Do you need to take care daily?

With the bees, no. It’s very variable among beekeepers. I open the hive once every 1-2 weeks in spring and maybe once a month in summer. The honey harvest is quite hard work in autumn and then I close them up until spring, not going in for 4-5 months.

Opening a hive should be done with an objective and is sometimes a quick 5-10 minute job (are there eggs?) and sometimes a bit protracted, like the first spring check which took me about 90 minutes last weekend (disease check, stores check, clean up frames. Look for eggs and the queen, treat for varroa, added a box and queen excluder to the hive).

The honey harvest is hot, heavy work and I have got a lot better at it but it still takes me 4-5 hours once a year, early autumn. It’s been as much as 250kgs of honey from my 2 hives and hot, hard work when organised so you can imagine what the first few times are like as it’s bees, sticky honey and heavy boxes and buckets.

I look at the entrance every few days, but that’s not required.

Watching a beehive on a warm day is a bit like watching a fire in winter, its slightly hypnotic.

> Do you need to take care daily?

With coffee, it’s much more rigorous and needs attention 2-3 times per day.
There is no "zaps balance". Zaps are just receipts of lightning payments.

The basic idea is that a lightning node will detect when the invoice with a nostr note inside is paid, and then send the receipt to nostr as a nostr note, with the original bolt11 invoice inside with the signature from the user who sent the zap.

It's all described by NIP-57, a spec I put together to support this:

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/57.md

I was working on c-lightning at the time and I thought it would be really cool to replace the "like" button with an instant bitcoin micro-payment. I think it worked out quite well! There are many sites utilizing zaps in all aspects of the protocol, such as a decentralized market for AI job requests (data vending machines), zapgoals and zap fundraisers. All built on this note type. protocol synergy!
All good points!

I believe Nostr is doing way better than Bluesky at achieving the goal of being a distributed social network.

> Proud boys and 1776 is not necessarily to celebrate history of course and is more a call to action (with plausible deniability).

Naturally a successful revolution will be a powerful symbol to folks who want a revolution. That's not at issue. What's it issue is whether the usage of the symbol by a small number of 'undesirable' people should be interpreted as rendering the symbol itself as 'undesirable', such that even auto-completing it is considered 'problematic'.

> I would not be surprised if it were a 100:1 ratio of proud boy type of content compared to AP US history content... If their content were not curated, then volume is going to win the day.

The topic isn't really about search results, but about which search terms YouTube refuses to acknowledge/auto-complete. Still, I'm not sure what you're saying here. Are you suggesting that search results are determined by the quantity of videos are served up based on the number of videos on the same topic? In my experience the search results on YT are determined by the popularity/trending status of a given video, and somewhat by the user's viewing preferences. When I search for (non-auto-completed) 1776, I see nothing but American Revolution content. This is the case even when I'm logged in (and with YouTube presumably aware of my right-wing politics).

> These curation activities by YouTube are not necessarily nefarious...

Sure, 'nefarious' is a strong word, but it is certainly bizarre and a cause for concern that an American company (which has no problem auto-completing 'November Revolution' or 'Mein Kampf') is somehow concerned with the implications of autocompleting '1776'.

The report is linked at the end of the article.

Most phishing comes from .com (expected due to its size). The report says about .us:

".US is the ccTLD of the United States and had a very large number of its domains used for phishing -- almost 30,000 domains, more than 20,000 of which were registered maliciously by phishers."

Also, it seems doubtful that krebsonsecurity would be appealing to some authority without a good cause.

Hello! I'm Ricardo, a self-taught Full-stack Engineer with a strong emphasis on backend development. Beyond my technical prowess in Javascript/Typescript, PHP 8, Flutter, SQL, Docker, and more, I complement my web development skills with prior experience in administration and financial analysis.

For over a decade, I've dedicated myself to the same company, managing the complete life cycle of numerous projects from inception to deployment, consistently ensuring optimal performance and user experience. Working solo has given me a broad perspective, but I'm now keen to join a team where I can focus on a specific role. Collaborating with and learning from others will undoubtedly fast-track my professional growth.

I look forward to leveraging both my technical and analytical skills in new, challenging projects. It's also important for me to state my principles. I'm not inclined to engage in industries that harm the environment, jeopardize people's health, or are ethically dubious, such as gambling or casinos. I am committed to making positive contributions to the world through my work.

A lot of online QR code generators provide this service (often by default without making it clear that they are injecting their URL). It can definitely be useful to "change the URL" after deploying the code, but you still have the same problem that you don't control the domain. If you stop making payments or the company goes out of business then you are out of luck.

IDK if any of these services support custom domains. So that you could have qr.mycompany.example or whatever. That way if something goes wrong with the service you can at least direct it to something else.

But I think in general you should control your URLs. Especially for printed material. Often this would be something like a short URL or some other small name that can be directed to the intended final site and changed at any point.
"Real trucks" look the way they do because that's what is easy to do with the manufacturing techniques they use. The "Cybertruck" is manufactured differently and so you'd expect it to look different.

From our good friend GPT-4 who can summarize it better than I can...

A semantic data layer is an abstraction layer that sits between the raw data stored in databases and the applications or analytics tools that use this data. The purpose of this layer is to provide a consistent, business-friendly interface to data that might be stored in a variety of formats, tables, or systems. By doing so, the semantic data layer helps in simplifying complex data structures into more meaningful, understandable models.
Key Features:

Unified View: It provides a unified view of data from multiple sources, making it easier for users to access and understand the data without having to know the underlying structure or complexity.

Data Governance: It can enforce business rules, security policies, and data quality measures, ensuring that data is consistent, compliant, and accessible only by authorized users.

Flexibility: A semantic layer is often designed to be flexible, allowing business users to adapt to changes in the data model without requiring changes to the applications themselves.

Query Simplification: The layer simplifies the process of querying data by providing a more user-friendly way of accessing and manipulating data, often through a drag-and-drop interface or other graphical tools.

Decoupling: It decouples application development from data source changes. When underlying data changes, you don't necessarily have to update all the applications that use it; you might only need to update the semantic layer.

Data Integration: It can integrate data from multiple sources, providing a single "source of truth" for business users and applications.

Purpose:

Simplification: Make data more accessible and easier to understand for non-technical users.

Consistency: Ensure that everyone is working from the same definitions and business rules.

Efficiency: Reduce the time and complexity involved in generating reports, analytics, and other data-driven functions.

Data Quality: Help to enforce data quality and governance policies.

Security: Provide a mechanism for enforcing security rules on who can see or modify data.

Adaptability: Enable quicker adaptation to changes in business needs or data structures.

By providing a semantic data layer, organizations can ensure that their data is not only high-quality and secure but also that it can be easily used for making informed decisions. This is particularly valuable in today's data-driven business environment.

Proof of work also depends on capital, compute isn't free. In fact, it is already incredibly centralized in the Bitcoin blockchain because there's like 3 big players which have already attacked the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. The only reason these huge pools haven't attacked the Bitcoin blockchain is because they have a financial stake on the price being high, which is also the same incentive proof of stake depends on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Due_process :

> Due process developed from clause 39 of Magna Carta in England. Reference to due process first appeared in a statutory rendition of clause 39 in 1354 thus: "No man of what state or condition he be, shall be put out of his lands or tenements nor taken, nor disinherited, nor put to death, without he be brought to answer by due process of law." [3] When English and American law gradually diverged, due process was not upheld in England but became incorporated in the US Constitution.
