Wait, you never heard of tragedy of Tasmanian tiger? At one point in early 2000s IIRC its story was everywhere I looked, as prime and visible example how people can easily kill of animal species that will never ever walk the face of earth.

Granted I never heard the term "Thylacine" neither, but Tasmanian tiger is quite famous term.

Deleuze defined philosophy as something like “the creation of concepts.” I’ve always found that to be the best way to think of the field. It’s also a refreshingly creative one, because “philosophy” courses tend to really be “history of philosophy” courses that cover already-existing concepts.
It's just like you have no idea how mafias operate.

Cheap affordable housing from a government is absolutely not the same as cheap affordable housing from a criminal organisation.

Me too. The extra wide ones are nice. I've got one gigantic 32" curved monitor, and use it with multiple workspaces.

Just you wait for governments to require platforms to only accept gov-signed keys.

I was sceptical about something-you-own auth vs. something-you-know auth from the beginning and recieved backlash from my tech peers for it. I hate to be able to go "told you so" on this one. Lets hope im wrong about the government involvement, but i dont think i will.
To be fair I've been to the US a few times and I've never been shot and I did end up in hospital and it was smooth as butter. Because I didn't hang around where I was likely to get shot and actually checked my insurance cover and had the cert on me.

Snap taking a dump into the output of "mount" alone is reason enough for me to hate it. I want to see my drives, not that three bundles of libraries are separately mounted into "firefox snap dir" and three others into "snap base package dir" or whatever. There are other offenders, but Snap is the worst. I resort to "df" these days, but it doesn't show filesystem type and mount flags.
They will accept it. The cover has to be specifically for US hospitals otherwise the insurer won't pay out and they know that and won't accept it. You have to avoid insurers who only cover certain providers as well.

You have to read your insurance contract and info sheet properly rather than go for the lowest price.

> But of course, thought leaders exist, and Apple hadn't defined what a Passkey was. One of those thought leaders took to the FIDO conference stage and announced "Passkeys are resident keys", at the same time as the unleashed a passkeys dev website (I won't link to it out of principal).

I'm trying to follow the developments in the 2-factor-auth space and this was one thing that confused me a lot. I've read a lot of hype on Passkeys being the next big thing but it was really hard to find an actual explanation what they are and how they work. And once I found out that these are keys that are stored on the security key, I was rather disappointed, because I really like the idea of generating keys on the fly based on the domain name that I'm authenticating against. This way I can "store" an infinite number of keys. The upside of Passkeys is supposedly that you do not need to remember which username you have on a website, but I think that's a minor upside.

Related question: What is the official name for the (FIDO2-based?/WebAuthn-based?) technology that calculates and reconstructs keys on the fly based on the domain name of the service that I'm authenticating against? It is really difficult to learn the right terminology in the area.

Edit: I think I found the answer here: https://fy.blackhats.net.au/blog/2023-02-02-how-hype-will-tu...

A key that is reconstructed on the fly is called a "non-resident credential".
I recommend visiting the Ecomuseo in Palermo [1] if you ever have the chance. They examine, among other things, the lasting impact of the subpar building of now mostly crumbling structures by the Mafia that still litter the cities of Sicily.

Yes, the mafia built housing, but it’s not the kind of social housing we might hope for—it’s mostly slum-like. Of course, the city of Palermo is also EXTREMELY densely populated—I read something like the fourth-most densely populated city in Europe in a magazine once, but can’t source that now, so take it with a grain of salt.

Nota bene: I’m not Italian myself; my wife’s family has their roots in Sicily.

100% agree. It absolutely sucks. It sometimes amazes me across all ability apple has that the experience is so atricously obnoxious to try to use more than one monitor with macos. All the points in the article are true and it's a frustrating experience anytime i try it.

Not to mention that macos renders fonts like crap on external displays.
> Now, cell phones and the internet make it a lot less magical.

I know people feel that way but IMO ham radio is still magical because you can communicate across continents without any dependency on anything or anyone else.

Sure the internet is faster and more convenient, but for that IP packet to reach its destination it depends on a cast of thousands of components across dozens of providers to all be working correctly.

With ham radio, you just need the radio and a generator and the laws of physics to communicate across the globe. That's pretty magical!

Everyone's talking about GPT and I'm sitting here, alone, with my Gemini (Advanced). I find it much more "human" like, but maybe that's just my preference for its style of writing - my brain simply finds it easier to process its responses and they're much more human-like.

Recently I have used it for some psychotherapy. I didn't expect much, but it actually provided me with some really useful exercises, tips, explanations and it helped me immensely. I would probably spend at least few hundred, if not thousand, buck on a "normal" therapy that would give me comparable results (anectodal of course, and I'm a weird guy overall).

The trick was to start with "I know you're not a therapist but I'm waiting for an appointment and I would appreciate your help".

I'm not promoting as something better than "normal" therapy for most people, but for me it was incredibly helpful and helped me at least minimize my anxiety attacks. I've used GPT previously for the same thing, and its answers were barely useful.

You generally enroll a passkey for a single device or connected group of devices. My icloud-syncing devices has a passkey. My windows laptop has another. My desktop has yet another. I have also enrolled my yubikey.

It's good advice to not take shots after you're already drinking.

Even for mixed drinks, the ABV can vary a lot more compared to lagers, pilsners, etc. The sugar content can be quite a bit higher in mixed drinks as well.
I'd been using 2 external displays with my macbook pro for the past few years. The most annoying thing for me was waking the mac from sleep and getting it to detect the two of them. Once they were both detected I honestly thought the experience was OK. But the dance I needed to do every time to detect was so frustrating that I recently replaced the two of them DELL's new 40 inch 5K ultra wide: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-ultrasharp-40-curved-wu.... I'm very happy with it. For my (slightly aging) eyes the pixel density is great, there's lots of space, and the waking from sleep detection issue is finally gone.
I don't think the issues of multi display really are only due the OS, my personal experience on multiple platform is that is suck regardless of whatever one thinks the solution would be. There are insolvable constraints implied by multi display:

- Screen going on and off is an asynchronous mechanism that the OS has to treat by an event driven implementation.

- All states must be valid (all graphical stuff must be put on display), as screen can go on and off at any time, for expected and unexpected events

- Those synchronous event must converge to an expected state for the user, whatever the final state is

- App developers mostly ignore those problems giving responsibility to the OS to deal with it. But sometimes they don't, sometimes ignoring the services provided by the OS to would help achieve predictable consensus, invalidating any assumption the OS could make.

- App windows positions state restoration have no definitive logic when there are moved and place across different dispositions, even it's manually by the other or programmatically by the OS.

> Releasing the sources for 32-bit Windows versions even this old may have an adverse effect on Microsoft's market domination.

I disagree that releasing Windows 9x source code would have any impact on MS market domination.

> I doubt Microsoft would ever open-source any NT Windows versions because the current ones are based on the same code

Nowadays releasing something NT like XP may seem crazy. But in 15 years it will be so far away from future Windows, that it won't be that crazy.
For me it's okay. I've noticed only a glitch with menu bar apps (tray icons?) that sometimes I hit them on one monitor and menu appears on another, but it's been recently introduced and I hope will be fixed.

Best thing there is on Mac is one app per desktop mode (maximise gives new desktop to the app) and a gesture to switch them
The parent post misses the main reason they sell these. It's not for the ad injection but because they broadcast a Wi-Fi hotspot that you cannot turn off, which shares your internet connection.
The last time I was in the US, specifically in Seattle, there were two separate shootings within blocks of where I was at the time, and one at a bar an hour after I left it.

As an Australian, seeing it on the news the next mornings made me very, very uncomfortable.

I understand that these shootings are unlikely to ever involve me, and I’m not discomforted to the point that I won’t go back to the US, but it is worth understanding that gun crime in the US is seen as uncomfortable and concerning to many. That my US friends who were at the same venues with me were completely blasé about it left me a little nonplussed.
If you’re asking in earnest: For the majority of users, Passkeys offer a pragmatic alternative to passwords that is far superior in terms of security.

For you, based on what I’ve read in your comments, I would say that Passkeys are the first workable alternative to passwords. They are built on WebAuthn which (roughly summarized) was the standard developed by Google and Yubico in direct response to the Operation Auora attack.

While the Apple/Microsoft/Google implementations of Passkeys likely won’t meet your personal standards, they’re built on a proven and well designed open standard. Which means you can benefit from the technology without buying into a corporate ecosystem.
MacOS is perpetually losing the physical position of my displays. 95% of the time I plug my laptop in the display layout swaps them. I would understand if it was 50% of the time, although I'd still be frustrated, but the fact it happens reliably is beyond me.

I don’t understand why Apple doesn’t support daisy chaining multiple monitors using DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (MST). That would be an elegant solution that also would fit Apple’s style.
Flatpak don't allow what snap doesn at lower levels than apps (kernel, system daemons...). So it's not possible.
Given that the P and G initials (property graph) coincidentally match the commonly used Postgres abbreviation (pg) I would hope/wish that that ecosystem too develops a very strong GQL proposition.

A reference "dual mode" SQL/GQL open source database would make understanding and use of graph logic more easy and hopefully widespread among relational database communities.

While many (if not most) practical problems can eventually be optimised as relational designs, thinking in graphs and occasionally (where warranted) executing as graphs feels like a coming of age moment for the entire database world.

Short answer: no.

Longer answer: Logically, the answer should be zero, but it's actually not that simple to categorise either 'non-smokers' or 'a smoking-related illness'.

Taking lung cancer as an example, approximately 10-20% of lung cancers occur in folks who are non-smokers (defined as 'never' or 'fewer than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime'). Researchers estimate that of these, around 20% are caused by second hand smoking, meaning that around 8-16% of lung cancers are non 'smoking related' in non-smokers. Not all lung cancers result in death.

So if we take the same approach, and consider the 80% of lung cancers which occur in smokers, presumably similarly 10-20% of those would have developed lung cancer regardless of whether they smoked or not, so potentially we would need to say that less than 65% of lung cancers are caused by smoking.

Is it then fair to call lung cancer a 'smoking-related illness', if more than a third of people who develop lung cancer did not do so because they themselves smoked[0] (the number changes to 70% if we consder the folks who hypothetically develop lung cancer due to second-hand smoking as 'smoking-related').

There are also a lot a problems with the methodology here. How do we know whether someone really smoked 100 cigarettes or fewer? Is there any statistically significant difference between people who smoked 100 and 1 000? 100 000? Does it matter if someone smoked all of those 10 000 in the last year (almost 30 a day) or whether they smoked those 10 000 over the past 50 years (less than a pack a month)? All of these things seem to my mind to be problematic and make it impossible to answer your question.

I suppose that means that I was overconfident in my assertion in the parent comment that '7/10 smokers die of smoking-related illnesses'. It was not unresearched (although uncited) and I got this number from this article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/02/26/the-t..., which in turn reported on this study: https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s1291....

However, perhaps I wasn't critical enough in my reading, and instead simply parroted the stat.

[0]: big caveat here is that my ramblings don't consider the possibility that a 50 year-old who would otherwise have developed lung cancer at 80 develops lung cancer as a result of smoking, and lung cancers caused by smoking stop lung cancers developing from other causes.
3RD UNIT – fractional ownership marketplace for early-stage entertainment IP
Hi!

We're working on putting together a three-sided marketplace (creators, consumers, producers) that could open up access to super early-stage entertainment IP as an investable and liquid asset class.

In other words, the next generation of crowdfunding (alike Kickstarter, Patreaon), but with equity / revenue sharing encoded on smart contracts, and for IP ideas that come from otherwise unprivileged markets or cultures (in terms of entertainment industry velocity)

We're based in the Emirates and launching from the MENA region, but hailing as a team from Poland, the U.S. and Japan.

If you would like to participate with us putting this together (i.e. "designing something people want") as early adopters or consumers, we'd love to have you with us. We want to empower the next generation of entertainment IP franchises from the grass-root.

How to help? There is a simple waitlist on our website, plus you get in touch directly w/ me via lukasz@3rdunit.studio -- many thanks!!
If Bitcoin was much better money than fiat, people would use it.

My country's currency is much better money than Bitcoin. I can pay basically everywhere with contactless payments, I did this 5 times today and it couldn't be any simpler. I can send money instantly to anyone in my country for free.

Volatility is minimal because the central bank actively tries to minimize it. Bitcoin or gold don't have this stabilizing mechanism, so they will always have worse volatility (assuming a responsible central bank).

Losses due to inflation are negligible if you have your money in a savings account and use other assets (stocks, bonds, real estate) for long-term saving.

If you want to use Bitcoin for long-term savings, the competitor is not fiat but stocks / bonds / real estate. And I don't see a good argument for Bitcoin. In a sufficiently long time horizon, stocks are guaranteed to outperform Bitcoin given some weak assumptions.
No commercial upside for sure. Just some extra reputation points among a very niche group and maybe some happy employees.
For Juniors it's tough (in general, though it's always been tougher in rubyland), because even the most well organized codebases tend to turn into a bit of dynamic magic spaghetti that can be hard to follow if you're not familiar with Ruby's dynamic nature. Getting newcomers to the language/framework onboarded to old projects (and most Rails projects will be old ones these days) can be a bit of a mess and take a lot of time and effort, so a lot of companies are weary of getting juniors.

That said, if you can display you have knowledge of the more important Rails libraries like ActiveRecord, ActiveJob, how Rails handles the MVC pattern etc., then your chances are much better. It's a bit of a magical framework when you first start working with it, so it's important to know what it does behind the scenes, at least a tiny bit, since otherwise it's easy to get lost.
Some of these are not like the others. Some apply conditional to highly unusual states of being, fleeting moments in a lab, a lump of ice magically inserted into the heart of a sun by causal mechanics we don't understand.

Some exist simultaneously. So a conducting gas, at supercold temps would be in three or more lines of this list. Ie they are non-exclusive states of being.

Some are whimsically named. Quantum states started that. I don't think it helpful to use words without intent to their literal meaning. So a gaseous solid should be a contradictory sentence unless you show why it has properties of both a gas and a solid. If it's a time crystal, what exactly happens in time.. and so on.
This is why you need to enrol the secondary passkey at the same time you enrol the first one, not later when you might not have the authenticator present.

In reality websites should not allow setting up a single passkey.
Strong mitm and phishing protection.
Same. I've tried multiple monitor setups a few times, but I always ended up actually using just the main one with the other ones displaying Spotify or email inbox all day.

I don't need that, it's more comfortable to bring Spotify to the front on the main screen than turn my head anyway.

I however feel limited using anything less than a 5k screen.
