Crypto Scam Recovery
This is a warning for anyone trying to recover USDT that was stolen by scammers, during binary trading. I suggest you get in touch with the best crypto expert, Blockchainrecall for successful recovery proceedings. When one tries to ask for help in recovering misplaced USDT, one risks being a victim and becoming bait if not assisted by a pro. Cruel criminals took control of my blockchain wallet and stole $206,550.00 USDT from it if I can recall properly. I was quite angry and disappointed about this because the Blockchain support team wasn't helping. All these happened while I was performing my online exploration just to realize that everything had been compromised. I had no more anxieties because there was nothing left to risk. I thus chose to try Blockchainrecall.com, and I was amazed by the outcome. I appreciate Blockchainrecall for helping me find what I misplaced and for also helping me track down the intruders. I am compelled to disclose their information here, anyone else looking to recoup lost assets or experienced fraudulent acts like mine. Reach out tp Blockchainrecall.com.
I cannot wrap my head around how far awry society has gone, that "eliminating tedious labor that no one really wants to do" gets reframed as "destroying jobs". Obviously in reality the benefits do not immediately flow to the people relieved of work, yet this obvious critical flaw of capitalism is always blamed on the automation in question. Yet few suggest we destroy our existing automation, no matter how many wonderful jobs it would recreate such as "washerwoman" and "water carrier". Society is clearly wealthier, the more "jobs" we eliminate.
I once dreamed of a day when robotics would advance to a point that humans would be free of labor. What would they do with all of their newfound time? I imagined us writing, painting, philosophising, exploring the depths of arts, sciences mathematics. In a darker side of the dream, humans are left without purpose, and chase dopamine instead: the species dies with a heroin-muffled whimper.

Stable diffusion poured cold water on that dream. We merely feed the computer all digitized creative works, et voilá, it's more creative than 99% of humanity, and more productive to boot. And it turns out that plumbing is really hard. Therapy, not so much.

With AI poised to replace us in knowledge work, we are left with two options: hard labor, or drugs. And a sufficiently advanced AI could pretty quickly make a plumber-bot.

The only obstacle to this nightmare future is that capitalists are winning the AI game. For the foreseeable future, robots will exist to serve the capitalists. If nobody can afford to live in robo-utopia, it collapses under its own expense.

I will add however that oil companies wouldn't stop processing so much oil right away, they will do what desperate powers do which is cling to remaining power as tightly as they can. This isn't something worth really caring about in the long run, but something to be cognizant of when trying to shift public behaviour as they will undoubtedly be affected by the propaganda such powers will be obsessively pushing out.

See also: tobacco companies spending several decades avoiding regulatory processes in advertising and convincing people they had no idea it was harmful nor that it was their fault for encouraging such consumption. Sounds a little familiar to several other industries.
How does that explain an 8.8% drop? I get that it's a factor, but I wouldn't call it "largely."

I mean it's right there in the article, "the expiration of expansions to refundable tax credits had a particularly important impact on SPM poverty."

I'm not sure how the top ranked comments, both of them, get things so wrong.

However you are definitely onto something sophisticated so... can you comment on the substance of the article instead of this kind of arcane thing that couldn't be the biggest factor?

Do you know how they calculate median real income? By taking into account inflation.

"Real median household income fell by 2.3% from $76,330 in 2021 to $74,580 in 2022. Income estimates are expressed in real or 2022 dollars to reflect changes in the cost of living. Between 2021 and 2022, inflation rose 7.8%; this is the largest annual increase in the cost-of-living adjustment since 1981."
Yeah, that's totally fair. I suppose I see it as different than human problems for two reasons.

First, workers become fungible - right now if John who's the expert on the particular machine we need to use today just got dumped and is doing a bad job, we have to either work with him in his downtrodden state or find someone else with his expertise. With robots, when one starts malfunctioning you swap it out.

Second, you can diagnose and fix it. I can't fix my employee's broken heart or lack of sleep because they have a small child at home. Whatever is wrong with the robot, I can fix.

Given the option people downvote without reading quickly creating an Ecco chamber. There’s a flag function which serves a similar purpose but the extra effort lets a lot of more marginal content slip through.

You want more diverse content because it attracts a more interesting audience. There’s several mechanisms to promote this. “Health risks of travel in early-modern Britain” only has 35 upvotes in the last 6 hours but still ranks #17 because diversity is encouraged.

Another story is talking about remnants of a structure dating back “476,000 years and predating the evolution of our own species, Homo sapiens” https://news.liverpool.ac.uk/2023/09/20/archaeologists-disco...

That's been my approach but still, look at that advice and think about what it says about a society that necessitates it.

For both obvious and non-obvious reasons, I don't want to get into specifics in order to provide an existence proof that this is a problem, but consider that switching jobs/moving city/rebuilding a social network is something that depends a great deal on having resources available to do that with, not having obligations preventing that, having the means to evade the pervasive social media that encourages exactly the sort of “reconnection” that is anathema to the task.

> If we all stopped driving cars, the oil companies are going to stop processing so much oil.

Yes and no. Or at least maybe. If demand from autos drops so does the price of oil. At some point it becomes feasible to be used for things that were previously too expensive. Like what? I'm not sure but these things happen. It's how the market "thinks".

Worst case, the cost of plastic falls even further. Less autos equals more plastic?

The market grows because people are want to participate in it. See crypto currency. Thats a market that grew with no corporate planning, simply from people increasingly participating.

When all the men got together and voted for women to also have the vote, that was toxic masculinity at work. (this is a joke, but also not really. Women shifting the political map towards larger government and more socialism seems to be the root of most of our current problems. It's kind of a big problem because women should very clearly be allowed to vote but at the same time I don't know how to reconcile that with the also very clear harm it is causing)
Some telegram groups developed as some sort of community.

"Do people scroll through the threads?"

Most won't, so the same things and questions get discussed again and again. If the mod is engaged he will create sticky notes, but people also often ignore those. So - yeah, I agree. Not a good fit for a community. They sort of upgrade it though regulary, and now you can have subgroups in groups that can work as forum threads, but I experience it not as a good UX and I regulary delete telegram as it is really hard filtering out useful comments from noise.
Wish edn was more popular outside the Clojure world, it is so much better than the alternatives imo.
> A user's phone number is public information; you can't use that as the password in a PAKE.

For sure, I just mean that people are already used to exchanging numbers, in person, to establish phone contact. So from a user experience point of view, exchanging a PAKE password for a shared secret isn't that much different from exchanging phone numbers. The resulting shared secret could be treated very much like a phone number, except it's like a secret phone number between you and that person.

> Theoretically Signal could also offer a PAKE option to interactively authenticate a new contact remotely (if you do indeed have a shared password), but that's probably not easy to do in a way that's not prone to social engineering attacks, since you don't have a channel to communicate about what your password should be. (Remember that you don't trust the contact yet; an attacker could pick a password hint that they know the answer to as well!)

This kind of thing makes the most sense to establish a secure connection with someone you already trust over an existing trusted channel. Much in the same way that you'd commonly get someone's phone number for the first time at a party, in person. (The physical environment of the party being the trusted channel.)

Assuming these generative fake voice/video models get to the point (over the next five years) where people cannot easily differentiate between a real and fake conversation over an arbitrary/untrusted digital channel, I'd assume that the most trusted channels for these kinds of exchanges will be IRL in person or established secure channels.

> A user's phone number is public information

One of the big arguments in the backchannel proposal is that global public identifiers are vulnerable to spam, fraud, impersonation, etc... and that maybe we don't actually need them as much as we assume? Maybe we can instead share per-contact shared secrets as a form of identity?

If you haven't watched it already, I highly recommend this talk about backchannel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ClLkuaoE-o

As a society I think we are better off with this kind of remixing so I'd hope that's the direction we head in.
I agree with you on the supply/demand thing. Which is unfortunate because we need to stop using so much oil.
Philosophically, it’s up for debate, but whether they’re served well isn’t as important as if they’re using the products at all. Lowering the average consumer’s waste by just a few grams a year adds up fast.

The term philosophy is used in the original Greek sense, "love of knowledge". As opposed to, Wikipedia tells me: theology, medicine and law. I guess it also has something to do with philosophy in the early sense of the word, before natural philosophy branched off and became what we today call the sciences.
Thanks, that's good to know. This is a basic, older Generac GP5500 and I couldn't figure out how to get the carb apart, it really seemed pressed together. Maybe that generator already had it's replaced, as the replacement I got looked identical.

Looks like the OEM part is only $50-some, so worst case I'll get one of those down the line, but the generator was running at a friend's house for three days straight a few weeks back and no issue, so hopefully it'll keep being good.

TOML's nested array/object syntax is awful. At a glance, it's nearly impossible to tell whether something is a parent, child, or siblings node.

> Only after I had quit and refused to come back do I think he actually knew for certain that I wasn't pulling a scam.

In interactions of bluff, bluff, and double bluff suspicion never dies.

Quitting indignantly on principal is either a sure sign of innocence or a true con artist cutting and putting distance from a 'scam', staying can be just as ambiguous.

I'm not doubting your innocence here, just doubting that there was any action you could take that would convince a suspicious mind that you were clean.

I dare say had you stayed then eventually something else would have happened around you down the track (that's just life). Parting ways and moving on saved you from that at least.
Why is it important for science to look good?

Yeah, not sure “async forums” conveys what OP is trying to convey. Maybe “real-time forums” or “live forums”.

They’re async as in the technical ‘async’, vs. async as in “async communication” (which is what you’re saying).

But the key is that you don’t have to force an update — updates happen in real-time, even edits (they’re pushed). In traditional forums, you’re forced to pull updates.

TLDR: it has the feel of chat, with the structure of forums.
Agreed, I do a lot of Ansible, and it took me a while up front, but I've become pretty accustomed to YAML. Though I still struggle with completely groking some of the syntax. But, I recently took a more serious look at TOML and felt like it'd be a bear for Ansible.

A few months ago I made a "mini ansible / cookie cutter" ( https://github.com/linsomniac/uplaybook ), and it uses YAML syntax. I made a few modifications to Ansible syntax, largely around conditionals and loops. For YAML, I guess I like the syntax, but I've been feeling like there's got to be a better way.

I kind of want a shell syntax, but with the ansible command semantics (declarative, --check / --diff, notify) and the templating and encryption of arguments / files.
The "philosophy" in PhD refers to philosophy/wisdom in general (philos=love, sophia=wisdom) not the specific academic discipline.

Yeah I think it won’t be against diversity, or it is not, just keep diversity within the boundaries of what the overall community would like, I mean, there is nothing about Kim Kardashian, because I suppose it would be too much diversity?
