> It was never about precision, truth, nor actual science. It was always about "plastics=bad" ideological virtue signaling

Microplastics were not a concept created for ideological virtue signaling. I don't know who manipulated you into thinking that was true, but you may wish to re-evaluate where you've been getting your information. The good news is that you don't have to depend on some invented sinister backstory for microplastics, you can instead read the paper where the phrase was coined for yourself (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/8575062_Lost_at_Sea...) and see that it was just a lot of typical boring science like searching through sediment and plankton samples, and keeping track of what lugworms eat. A paper that concludes with "we'd need more research to determine if there are any environmental consequences" is about as far from ideological virtue signaling as it gets. Take your own advice and "Beware those who distort the truth and exploit fear for their own gains."

As far as precision goes, currently microplastics are for plastic bits smaller than 5mm. We even have primary and secondary categories for them. Nanoplastics are for bits smaller than 100 nm. Do we really need a better classification system at this stage? I imagine that shortly after we do, we'll get one. Science loves to come up with boxes to put things in.

Or ever? Most folks have at least some equipment they’ll be livid to not be able to use.
Hard disagree with your sentiment here. The AGPL is what every company doing BSL stuff should have done. They will never deviate internally from their upstream repo, they have to keep it maintained to make it worthwhile.

Yes, they can relicense contributions to paid customers but that’s the case anywhere. People need to make money and that’s okay. The problem is when the publicly facing code is relicensed and a person who has contributed effectively loses the rights to run their own code. This solves that problem as long as that person continues to be a good open source citizen.

The AGPL rocks.
There is no factual basis for your claim. The average size for a new house in 1950 was 1000 ft^2. People made it work, and many of the children who grew up in those houses are still living today. Somehow though people's expectations have inflated and they now feel entitled to a larger home, or like a failure if they can't afford one.

As for previous generations, the Boomers are steadily dying off or moving into retirement communities. Lots of homes are coming on the market, although you might have to be flexible on location if you want to buy one.

Lightning Labs | Senior Engineering Manager, Lightning Protocol Engineer, Senior Security Engineer| San Francisco | Remote | Full-time

https://lightning.engineering/join-us

https://github.com/lightninglabs

Lightning Labs is hiring! We’re looking to expand our team to build technology that'll bring Bitcoin to the next billion people. Our current focus is the development and deployment of the Lightning Network, an open blockchain scalability protocol. We push the edge of innovation with regard to blockchain scalability, privacy-preserving smart contracts, and cryptocurrency UX. If you’re interested in one of the positions below, please apply using our careers page: https://lightning.engineering/join-us. And if you know someone who might be a good fit, we'd very much appreciate any referrals.

{Protocol Engineer}:

Experienced systems software engineer versed in applied cryptography, peer-to-peer networks, distributed systems, open source software, and cryptocurrency protocols to design and implement core protocol and algorithmic components of the Lightning Network as well as the Bitcoin Network. Solid programming skills, experience with Go, C, or C++. Prior contributions to crypto protocols and open source software collaboration preferred.

{Senior Security Engineer}:

Seeking to hire a Security Engineer for the ongoing scaling of our growing engineering organization. This is a hands-on role that consists of devising and implementing policies and procedures around best practices in systems security. The ideal candidate has experience in securing web, Bitcoin, and other public-facing network services, penetration testing, and both automated and manual source code security reviews. Due to the domain in which we work, experience with Bitcoin and the Lightning Network is extremely desirable as is knowledge of the cryptographic aspects involved in this area.

{Senior Engineering Manager}:

Seeking to hire a Senior Engineering Manager to help scale our growing engineering organization. The ideal candidate has experience managing remote teams across several time zones, has managed their own open source projects or actively contributed to such projects in the past, and has high level working knowledge of Bitcoin. Due to the nature of our software, our ideal candidate is also highly technical as we regularly face novel and challenging decisions that require nuanced and comprehensive analysis of related tradeoffs. In addition, the ideal candidate should have a passion for our mission, as well as for Bitcoin as a whole. Candidates in this position will work directly with the CTO to scale our engineering organization, as well as work across functional team boundaries to ensure proper resource allocation, product quality, and team agility.
> Yes, many of us are in tech because it's our passion. But I can almost guarantee that at least most of us work for companies _for money_, because _we need money_. And when people talk about money, in general, they're wanting _more of it._

I don't disagree, but I'm just being practical. The hiring process sucks. I appreciate not being made to do it more often than necessary.

Further, reqs are not guaranteed. Suppose I have an open req now and hire you. You ditch us three months later. Now there's a risk that I'll have to renegotiate for that req-- and may not get it again if another team makes a better pitch. Or, you shake me down for more money than we agreed to retain you-- your loyalty is clearly for sale; even paying you again doesn't guarantee your commitment, and it makes me look like a goddamn idiot when you leave anyway shortly after that. Not worth the risk!

I'd rather give the spot to someone who'll stick around for a minimal level of commitment, stick to the negotiated terms and won't waste my time with drama. I'm hiring you to make less work for myself. If your insatiable pursuit of money is going to create more work for me, our interests do not align from the start.

The same is equally true of almost every python dependency management tool.
AGPL also has some annoying side effects if you do t use a CLA. For example, Matrix has had a few proof of concepts for pure peer to peer network designs where every device runs its own server.

That would be impossible toddeploy to app stores like the Apple App Store because that store is inherently incompatible with (A)GPL. The only way you can publish (A)GPL code to iPhones and iPads legally is to dual license all code from all contributors.

With a CLA, a project can relicense the code to itself. Without it, the project can't upload their own project to the App Store and similar platforms.

I think you'd be crazy to run Synapse on a phone, but Dendrite is built to be much more efficient for such use cases.

> now you have people on different schema versions until you figure it out.

That can be a good thing if your product has say < 100 customers. As each might have different upgrade timelines and needs. I even know of business like this who do custom work for some so they essentially aren’t even running the same code (gasp).

I guess it depends on the business structure.
I'm a math student with a similar desire to learn more about these topics. I've asked around at my university about forming a study group around the following courses (which I myself would really like to study), but there seems to be little interest: Stanford CS143; MIT 6.824; MIT 6.001 .

Would you like to collaborate on something along these lines?

When the alternative is no connectivity, resulting in a product that gets returned at ever increasing rates, you have to go and fix the issue.

Already I have run across a plethora of devices that do not connect to networks in WPA2/WPA3 mix mode. Consumers who are not technically literate will return new hardware they buy that doesn't connect to their WPA3 enabled Wi-Fi network. Their iPhone and laptop connect to it without issue, thus it must be a defective device if your IoT thing won't connect to the existing WPA3 network.
> you write a random string and save it on a blockchain, which becomes the NFT. From there, you can use a lookup table to map the NFT to a URL that links to an image that's stored on the owner's server

The way which they are mapped to images vary from NFT to NFT.

But let's look at Bored Ape Yacht Club specifically.

Collection https://opensea.io/collection/boredapeyachtclub

Pick a random bored ape. For example #1337.

https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061...

From there we can see the bored ape Ethereum "smart contract"

https://etherscan.io/address/0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118...

This contract is responsible for minting all of the original Bored Ape NFTs

Click on "contract". And then click "read contract".

Scroll down. There is a method named "tokenURI". It takes an integer as parameter. Let's query it with value "1337" (the id of the bored ape we are interested in knowing about).

Result:

ipfs://QmeSjSinHpPnmXmspMjwiXyN6zS4E9zccariGR3jxcaWtq/1337

Let's visit that URL via an IPFS gateway.

https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/QmeSjSinHpPnmXmspMjwiXyN6zS...

It contains JSON data.

{"image":"ipfs://QmWjXFUVNjavM4hDzXeQYGXGCXjV86mP7kPEaTeP5bohae","attributes":[{"trait_type":"Background","value":"Yellow"},{"trait_type":"Fur","value":"Dark Brown"},{"trait_type":"Clothes","value":"Bone Necklace"},{"trait_type":"Mouth","value":"Bored Unshaven"},{"trait_type":"Hat","value":"Horns"},{"trait_type":"Eyes","value":"Bloodshot"}]}

We make note of the IPFS URL for the image from here.

ipfs://QmWjXFUVNjavM4hDzXeQYGXGCXjV86mP7kPEaTeP5bohae

And visit that one via our chosen IPFS gateway.

https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/QmWjXFUVNjavM4hDzXeQYGXGCXj...

So there you have it. Via the Bored Ape smart contract we retrieved the JSON data and image file for Bored Ape #1337 from IPFS.

Yes, of course. It was just a quick comment pointing out that dopamine is highly influenced by the placebo effect, and parkinsons studies show that the placebo effect has a large effect on rcts for the condition.
Element has been giving us open source code under the most liberal license for something like 10 years. I think he’s earned a little benefit of the doubt.
Pretty much what the other comment said about the BB being proven etc.

Because of better support from TI, BB always had a more professional feel than the Raspberry Pi, specially for documentation etc. It's a fine chip, if you can source it (haven't messed with anything from Octavo, but it seems solid to me). All the software issues are pretty much solved and upstreamed at this point.

But does anyone particularly want another travel site full of generic advice? Nothing against your individual project, I'm just saying that the web is already absolutely awash in marketing materials and all-in-one portals.

Sounds like the TRS-80 Screen Printer. A roll of aluminized paper was bent into an arc around a spinning drum with high-voltage wipers. Voltage pulses on the wipers would burn away the aluminum, revealing the dark background paper. Very fast, very strange.

I dunno, I was a fairly early preorder, and have been quite underwhelmed with it. It does what it’s supposed to do, but there are just way too many games in my library that don’t really work well with it, and/or are just overall much better with keyboard/mouse.

Maybe I’m not the target audience. I also play console games, so most of my library are games that don’t overlap with console (so games that are probably designed for keyboard/mouse).

I played it for a bit, and there are definitely some good games on it (I finally beat Portal on it), but I just haven’t found any games that make me want to break it back out.

> > * enables use of git bisect to locate bugs

> This is really only viable if each intermediate commit on a development branch is intended to be bug free.

git rebase has an --exec option that allows you to run a command or set of commands for each commit in the branch. You could rebase your development branch before pushing it up for review and ensure each commit passes coffee linting and tests.
Yes, it sure does.
Which just means the lock happens at user scope in this case instead of per table or row. This limitation still causes so much confusion when it’s a completely reasonable design.
You're right, as usual. AppView is on a Postgres cluster with read replicas doing timeline generation (and other things) on-demand. We're in the process of moving it toward a beefy ScyllaDB cluster designed around a fanout-on-write system.

The v1 backend system was optimized for rapid development and served us well. The v2 backend will be somewhat less flexible (no joins!) but is designed for much higher scale.

It's in the PNW and rhymes with Win Far. Started as a teacher's union before opening up to the general public. I did some brief research into their background when I chose them, since I was looking for a no-frills checking account that wouldn't let me overdraft. Essentially just simple, "safe", normal banking or whatever, without fees.

The only catch seems to be that I had to buy a share in the company that I assume they make interest on later. Seems fair enough, and I haven't heard of anyone's account being closed randomly, at least not yet.
It's not about blaming, that was not my intention. I agree with you in principle, in an ideal world reading the description carefully shouldn't be necessary, but as we don't live in that world, and as you said sellers do exploit that, reading the description is shrewd to avoid surprises.

I tried it in English, French, and my broken Spanish, and all 3 came out great. One surprising thing is that if you switch languages mid-transcription with the "single language" model, it will transcribe the second language and translate it at the same time, so the entire transcription is in a single language, but the meaning is preserved.
> Just as an FYI, USDC & stablecoins (and CBDC's) are centralised and the same abuse of power is possible here too.

It's the unfortunate consequence of one gigantic unaddressable problem:

USD can only be minted efficiently by the Fed.

- Collateralized stablecoins exist, but they're inefficient in that they must be overcollateralized to cushion against falling asset values.

- USDC & their kind are efficient, but at the cost of being centralization vectors as a result of current US legislation

- An efficient synthetic stablecoin can exist, but it requires deep liquidity in the marketplace to keep the peg stable. (Probably > $100B at the ready to absorb panic sells) Synthetic stocks are the closest analogy available for this, but applied upon a currency. The chicken-and-egg means that bootstrapping something like this is not feasible at small scales: It needs to be big from the get go.
No reachable for me as well.

> which usually is what "industry" is being referred to.

Bingo. It's always a bit hard for me to properly communicate to people that the 'industry' is not an air monitoring/grafana-prometheus/PiHole/whatever low-volume, no risk application.

We can't reasonably measure the safety of individuals until they do something concrete, like get caught driving recklessly/drunk/distracted. If a company endangers people because they wanted to hit their timeline or save face or whatever, that's pure evil. They're simply incomparable.

We can address both things. The "but people are statistically worse" argument is a horrible, thoughtless "gotcha" in the form of whataboutism that makes light of people's lives.

This post caught my attention because recently I met a woman I really admire. She dropped out of her computer engineering class, took a vow of celibacy and poverty and became a missionary with a Catholic sect.

The reason I admire her isn't that. What caught my attention about her is that she has a sense of purpose. She has a purpose in life and has devoted her life to it.

I used to have one. My goal was to make the legal system cheaper and more accessible. And I devoted the last decade of my life to that. Now that's fallen apart and I'm a little lost and it hurts me alot.

I hope I'll find a purpose soon. That's what I'm passionate about right now, finding a new purpose or a new way to accomplish my past purpose.
And yet, there are few who disagree and it's worth mentioning.
Privilege is fake and just used to bully white cis men. It's a justification for discrimination. It's the same as the n-word in principle, used to single out people of a particular race. The weird thing is that some people consider it acceptable... it's just anti-white racism, the opposite but equivalent to anti-black racism.
