I know you are being snarky, but i think its worth pointing out that ever increasing prices is bad for a medium of exchange not good. The higher prices decreases the liklihood of it being used like a currency.
You can't authenticate the analog hole (1).

More generally, there's a whole slew of gaps in authentication that could be exploited on the end device. If you want to cryptographically prove the authenticity of a photo taken, you have to prove that the app is running on a verified operating system of a trusted phone and not some emulated platform; that the operating system of the phone hasn't been tampered with or rooted; that the data stream from the camera to the phone hasn't been wired up to something that provides spoofed video/images; the list goes on and on.

Provenance is an admirable goal to counter deepfake media, but we're far from this:

> once the photo is taken, it becomes virtually impossible to alter the image without breaking the digital chain of trust that confirms its authenticity

I think that once deepfake media gets good enough, society will be forced to revert to the trust dynamics that existed ~150 years ago (e.g. before widespread photo/video recording were available)--our perception of recordings as evidence in and of themselves will have to shift.

I'm not sure I understand the criticism. This is bad? People like property rights. Progressives like them. Conservatives like them. Economies like them.

Meanwhile there are substantial differences between the two wings, what services and programs they think government should provide, how problem solving should be approached.

It will almost certainly accelerate inflation, but won’t it also give domestic manufacturing workers hurt by globalization a lot more demand for their work, and leverage to increase their wages? It seems like the main people hurt by this would be the upper middle class and above, the execs, designers, and managers who’ve directly and indirectly managed large international teams of laborers working at low rates, as they’ll get hit by the inflation, but see no additional demand/leverage to increase their wages. They’re the part of the bimodal wealth distribution that has until now done very well by globalization, and I think this election is largely a reaction by the other mode.
A Republican president has never made life better for the lower working class. But, that's not the average Trump voter. The average Trump voter is just well enough off that they're happy to stick it to the real working class if it gets them an extra $1000 at the end of the year.
I'm not really sure what you mean. Think of SuperSplat as the photoshop of gaussian splats?

The problem can be that the net whole is “better off” by some minuscule amount but certain subgroups are disastrously worse off.

For example, factory jobs disappearing usually increases the nations GDP “as a whole” but has disastrous effects on the poor communities that provided the labor.

Or another way to put it - if immigration is a net benefit and has little downsides, then a minimum wage for immigrants (legal or otherwise) of $45/hr should be fine.

(Even that might not move the needle much as immigrant labor, both legal and illegal, has “corporate” advantages that can’t be matched by residents. Being able to skirt regulations and laws because you know your employees can’t complain without risking their residency is a powerful tool. See: H1B abuse and OSHA abuse.)
It has in dollar terms but it still hasn't on an inflation adjusted basis. One bitcoin today has less purchasing power than at its peak in November 2021. The dollar has lost about 12.5% since then so the true all time high would be around $79250.
You argue that I am unspecific, however my entire post lists factual occurrences and people which can easily be validated.

You on the other hand present no counterfactual at all.

Democracy will be lost if there are no public institutions to enforce rules in a way which keeps nobody in particular with too much power.

Democracy will be lost if core players of said system do not respect the rules anymore and either try to negate, obstruct or otherwise hinder balance or peaceful transfer of power.

Trump has clearly shown to be capable of the latter and his desire for centralizing power around him.

Read some of the testimony of former staffers that emerged over the past few weeks.

And the SCOTUS ruling has given him a carte-blance to enact his ideas - without impunity.

The Senate or House will not or hardly force him to compromise on legislation, MAGA captured the Republican party.

The legal changes and Trumps demonstrable behavior are much more akin to a Putin in Russia or a monarchy than to a democracy with equal institutions governing.

The constitution isn't worth the paper it's printed on if it's just being ignored.

(I use bitcoin and crypto pretty interchangeably)

> Bitcoin is a truly decentralized, voluntarist system

Doesn’t 1 pool account for more than 50% of the bitcoin netwoek?

It’s theoretically decentralized, but in truth, you can only meaningfully contribute to the network (and have a real chance of mining a block) if you are already wealthy enough to buy the hardware.

The issue, imo, with your stance is that it’s all rose tinted theory.

In theory, bitcoin is a decentralized store of value.
In reality it’s just another thing, akin to a collectible, that is bought and sold. Its value is based on what people are willing to pay, not based on what you can do with a bitcoin.

In theory, bitcoin is government proof, in reality governments all over the world place restrictions on trading crypto.
It’s so difficult to trade bitcoin for fiat without going through some kind of bank, that governments still have enough control as to make the “government proof” argument moot.

Just look at the price of monero after being delisted from Coinbase in anticipation of US regulation.

At worst, bitcoin (and crypto) is a greater fools game. You gain bitcoin with the only utility being that its price swings so much that you can sell it for a profit.

At best, it’s just another payment system owned by very wealthy people. (Like ethereum)

There’s a lot of theoretical benefits to decentralized currencies and governance free economies, but crypto (at least the cryptocurrencies we have today) embodies none of that and practically is a vehicle for gaming and scamming, as we’ve seen.

I can tell if somebody ate cornflakes or oatmeal for breakfast just by looking at how they walk. I'm always right. you better believe me. I've seen thousands of people walk.
1. Maybe. I am happy to not be testing this hypothesis.

2. I think the problem is inserting women that the voters aren't asking for. They could try asking who to run instead of telling people who to vote for, and they just might get a woman into the office.

There are women out there that have their own real following that could probably get there with the machine behind them, but the machine doesn't want any of them.

Depending on how things go, Tulsi could be the next best chance, if people stop making up shit about her being a Russian asset. But shes on the red team, so the dems will tear her down if she tries.

Musk does seem to have gone bonkers in the last two years or so, but I agree. I suspect he might end up being a surprisingly moderating, rational influence on Trump. He might have (at least publicly) aligned himself with conspiracy theorists, outrage merchants and general grifters for now, but I think at heart he's still pro-science.

To be clear, it doesn't make sense to say "the dollar traded at pretty stable levels". You need an FX pair to make sense.

There are three big, floating currencies in the world: USD, EUR, and JPY. These currencies are overwhelming used for international trade. The USD<->EUR FX rate has been quite stable (~1.10) for about 10 years. However, the JPY<->USD FX rates has risen dramatically since 2022.
I do wonder whether democrats will shift to post-conservative messaging. "Let's preserve what we have left of our beautiful American forests" might be able to resonate. Idk.

If people were logical like you suggest, they wouldn't vote for an even worse situation. Yet they constantly do, so I'm sorry I cannot accept "logic" as a reason for the latest vote. People voted something, they got something, and they will get something back (where all those somethings aren't even important for elections). No, I'm not sarcastic, also not joking. Campaign and vote looked as seen from here absolutely bonkers.

Well yes but thats not a binary situation, is it. We can fuck up future of our kids a lot, a lot more or way a lot more. And so on.

Anyway, our descendants will hate current generations for what we have 'achieved' with the only place we can realistically live en masse for next 1000 years at least, almost all in in past 20 years, I'd say rightfully.

But as long as their stocks are up many folks here properly don't give a fuck. Tells you something too, don't put automatic morality into folks just because they have above-average intelligence, selfishness is a very powerful emotion from which none of us is completely immune from.
But at that point you are giving up on the alleged benefits of crypto (decentralization) and you might as well just pay cash.
I get where you're coming and the Dems' greatest sin is probably pulling the rug under progressive candidates in primaries of some elections, but at some point you gotta look at the things Biden/Harris did for all Americans as president and consider if it passes the threshold from "least bad option" to, dare I say, "good, but obviously not perfect option". Things like increasing the threshold for overtime pay, an anti-redlining mortgage lending framework, pushing the HHS to reschedule cannabis to schedule III, actually showing up on a picket line, etc.
> USD sketchy

> BTC less sketchy

I get what you are saying but it is still a wild sentence. I get monetary policy, debasement, inflation... but there is no rule/law that says "BTC MUST be a safe-haven alternative to inflation"
> but the economy will boom

That's not what happened during Trump's last term. His tariffs wrecked the economy before the pandemic had even started. Now he's promising to double-down on those failed policies. Now, if by "boom" you meant "explode" and fall to pieces, then yes, the economy will "boom."
This is fun! Log-rock is an untapped market; I look forward to the similar genres of code-jazz and commit message-techno :)

(Based on the "vocalist has a seizure" line which I've seen before in similar situations, can it be assumed this is AI-generated?)
People were concerned about loss of sovereignty and high immigration. These are perfectly valid concerns and the Leave campaign perfectly understood that when they picked "Take back control" as slogan.

Immigration is also a big factor in the Conservatives' defeat in the general election. People felt cheated as immigration hit a record high and voted Reform UK, which handed Labour a huge majority despite actually getting fewer votes than at the previous election.

So it's quite extraordinary to see the comments here with zero reflection on why all of this happened. This is the real, dangerous divide between the well-offs in and around London and the rest of the country.

I have read that the two main issues on voters' minds in this American Presidential election were immigration and the economy, so result is not very surprising.

>I built it with the intention to help people with disabilities and finger/wrist pain (people like my dad)

I certainly didn't get that impression from the landing page. It looks like a nice general purpose tool, and as you said, NSFW content is one of the major content areas on the internet.

Why not just keep it general purpose and let users do with it what they will?

if you did feel the need to lean into it, maybe you could split off another version specifically for that NSFW use case. I'm sure there are certain niche features that could be useful for... 1 handed use. Alternatively, you could repackage the extension and make it clear that it is for helping those with disabilities. That's sort of the mirror of the first idea I had. Have a general purpose extension and then have one that is specifically for disabilities. I don't know, just brainstorming.

Something like this was always a likely outcome for the case in which your release actually gets picked up by the public. In other timelines it could have been used by groups of young kids for some obscure online video game or social media trend, some sort of click farming operation in a country that you know very little about, etc. Welcome to the internet.

I think you probably do have a good name and a nice little site there (as your extension got discovered in the first place), so if I were you I would probably just continue making it the best extension that I could. If you don't care about the current use case, then don't specifically consider their needs in future releases, but I wouldn't block sites or do anything like that. What I would do is spend at least a tiny bit of time considering why those users are choosing your extension, in order to see if there's more juice in possibly pushing in those directions. Then I would move on.
I totally understand the concern around parties. The idea is definitely not to bring parties into residential buildings. I will iterate on this. Thank you!
Tool design is all you need for building SOTA coding agents
Over its history more money has been pump into bitcoin than come out. This is an inherent from the way the system works because unlike stocks, bonds, property etc there’s zero inherent income generation from dividends, rent etc. Making it on average across all transactions past and future a bad investment as miners have real world expenses.

The common argument is the current value makes up for this, but trying to actually liquidate that value would require new buyers. Eventually someone gets screwed, but hey the price might go up even more…
That goes both ways too. I also don't find political talking points about the other side couldn't do particularly intriguing, but the Democrats did have a field day in 2019/2020 pointing out how little Trump actually did with regards to building a wall.

The most annoying part is that almost every time with an issue that couldn't be done, it should have been clear from the beginning. The idea of the government vacuuming up all (or most) student debt seems completely untenable right out of the gate, just like the idea that we would be able to build a physical wall across out entire southern border and make Mexico pay for it.

Its lazy politics all the way around. And that lazy politics wastes plenty of tax dollars and distracts everyone from issues actually worth talking about.
It baffles me when engineers are using VMs and clusters provisioned on cloud providers for tasks where their powerhouse laptops (mostly the latest Apple Silicon ones with 64G+ memory) would be just as fine, but faster, and much cheaper. Instead of this they are using their laptops as thin clients to ssh into much less reliable/performant machines.
Yes, bitcoin effectively trades like the 3x leveraged nasdaq indices (TQQQ).
Looks like it was ~65k in November of 2021, and at near the current value (~74k) earlier this year.

On a >4 year scale, yes, it's slowly going up, but keep in mind that if you bought at the 65k peak of November 2021, it took 2 1/2 more years to get back to that value.

When Bitcoin hit 20k for the first time, it took another 3 years to get back to that value after it crashed 70% in the months following the 20k peak.

I'm only suggesting that you think before purchasing on a peak. It certainly could keep going up, especially if it becomes deregulated in the US and more people can easily invest and more businesses can legally manipulate buyers.
I expect they will continue to get obscenely wealthy off interest payments on their US Treasuries; Others have forecasted for many years that they will collapse to zero.

Is this the Dunphy lawsuit? Or something else?

As far as I have read, Guiliani has been accused in a civil lawsuit of saying he was going to sell pardons, nobody's provided any proof or evidence that Trump knew about it or did anything, and nobody has even had criminal charges brought let alone adjudicated.

I'm happy to be proven wrong but two third parties being engaged in an unresolved civil claim is a long way away from "Trump sold pardons."
This argument just doesn't make sense. The US annual population growth is currently 0.5%. Between 1960 and 2000 it rarely went below 1%, but since 2010 it's always been well under.
That's the correct definition of "disposable income". The latter value is called "discretionary income", and a lot of people incorrectly say disposable when they really mean discretionary.

Arguably being pro-Israel is anti-war. Israel's current conflict is the direct result of several entities starting a war with her last October. Suggesting that Israel should not fight back is promoting the idea of war as a means of getting what one wants.
The reason Democrats couldn't do more is because not enough people voted for them, so they can only be angry with themselves. We would have had a public option if Congress didn't have to rely on the Blue Dog democrats. IMO Democratic voters have unreasonable expectations for their politicians and Republicans basically have none.
