We had an entire saga of ICOs launch and fail to deliver value.

The notion that laws are preventing a golden age of crypto prosperity doesn’t make any sense. There are numerous countries where these coins can operate and they still don’t deliver any of these claims.

> It’s like Obama only legalizing giant pickup trucks.

What a weird claim. I assume you’re talking about CAFE regulations, but with an extremist conservative talking point twist.

This is a favorite talking point, but people conveniently ignore the fact that we have small and fuel efficient pickup trucks that people don’t buy. Honda made a FWD unibody pickup that fit many needs, but people just don’t want it.

Not to mention the fact that the CAFE regulations were 2025 targets, or that we have had multiple presidents since then and different political parties have had their chance to change things.

Yet blaming Obama is fun, so let’s go with that.

But those don't have to be globally routable.

>it needs a big pile of ipv4 addresses to dynamically allocate whenever a new AAAA record comes through.

This wasn't really a problem until doh/dot became a thing.

But even nowadays doh and dot are provided by whom? By google and cloudflare who are tls-mitm'ing half of the internet anyway.

Moreover most ISPs intercept dns to display those "please enter your phone number to verify your identity" screens anyway.

What is the appetite for self-hosting streams? I've worked at a variety of ISP gigs and really don't think the bandwidth cost is that crazy of a blocker. But would any streamers ever WANT to self-host something? I feel like people would love to throw off the shackles of YouTube and Twitch, but are probably less enthused about not having their channel advertised to the platform's users. Things like maintaining your own Stripe account also sucks.

(My angle is charging for software to do this, not making another hosted service. Just don't think there is actually a market. Complaining on Reddit when the bureaucracy of Twitch/YouTube stymies you seems to be 100% effective. But will it always be?)

>In fiscal year 2023–2024, San Francisco spent $690 million on homelessness, notes the San Francisco Chronicle. This is a 142% increase from five years ago.

If the argument is temperature and therefore AC alone explains the drastic difference in per capita electricity use the numbers just don’t add up. If half of Texas electricity use was AC and all of California stayed 75 the sure however…

I agree there’s a big costal population in CA, but those city temperatures are really deceptive as even just the suburbs of those cities get hot. San Bernardino which still is part of the LA metro area and just 50 miles from the ocean jumps to 95f in July. The closer to the ocean you get the cooler things tend to be but most of the greater metro area is in the 90’s not 75f.

There’s also a huge belt of population running through the middle of the state IE “Central Valley” and out to the the southeast portion of the state: https://i0.wp.com/images.mapsofworld.com/answers/2017/11/cal...

Just looking at the Central Valley Fresno, California population 550,000, 97F in July. Sacramento 525k 95f Bakersfield 420k 98f. And that’s not counting a host of smaller cities and towns or the southeast.

Something like half of the population of California see’s 95+ temperatures in July where they live. So yes San Francisco being surrounded by the ocean on one side and the bay on the other stays surprisingly cool, but it’s just not that much land, 875k people live in SF proper and most of the state is very different.

US Federal code is so vast and convoluted that all of us are “criminals” . A Crime A Day became famous by documenting absurd Federal statutes each day. The latest one is how it’s a federal crime to sell Swiss cheese without holes.

Prosecutors merely want to close cases, and often you are not the ultimate target, you are just a stepping stone to the target.

Don’t incriminate yourself , especially not for crimes you haven’t committed. You may think you have nothing to hide, and that’s only because you don’t realize that anyone can make you a criminal with the right evidence.
“Things many of the doge staffers are too young to have experienced yet”

This I think pervades the zeitgeist of the moment. Regardless of age, we have fabulously wealthy (mostly men) who have experienced little to no suffering in life. Now they come into power and bring that arrogant attitude you have before life shows you that it owes you nothing.

I used to think “why do I pay school taxes” when I bought my first house, before I had kids.

I used to think “why does anyone need help” before I lost my house to a forced short sale.

I used to think “who cares about healthcare” and then my wife almost died of sepsis contracted through surgery for breast cancer.

Too many people in charge have zero empathy because their lived experience is becoming fabulously wealthy and pretty much nothing else. No wonder we are living in a terrible timeline.

The rationale of that falsehood¹ addresses that point:

>> It wasn't even that long ago that mobile phones didn't exist, and it was common for an entire household to share one fixed-line telephone number. In some parts of the world, this is still true, and relatives (or even friends) share a single phone number. Many phone services (especially for businesses) allow multiple inbound calls to or outbound calls from the same phone number.

How does ipv6 let me take my IP with me, exactly? Citation needed. I mean, I have WireGuard installed on my phone and I get a tunnel my house wherever I go, but that’s not really the same thing, is it? You’re saying there’s a way for me, wherever I go, my house, 5G, my friends house, to just have traffic routed to my phone for a consistent IP address wherever I go? Not a VPN? Through something only IPv6 provides? Could you explain what this is? Because my ISP at home won’t even give me a consistent IP, not even a stable prefix.
The safety net for everyone is your friends and family. Drug addiction destroys that, so you are left alone. They kind of don't have anyone else. People see homelessness, but all I see is a slow trek to a suicide for many. They are dying slowly - and do not make any mistake about that. It's fatal.

Overall, there are many drugs addicts and homeless people in the world. It only bothers us when it obstructs our vision, very disgusting sentences like I cant even visit the beach anymore. I think that's fine, there are many beaches and many other places. You can visit the beach somewhere else, these people are dying.

Millionaire Rogan found the sight of homeless people unbearable so he had to leave the state (could be the taxes, but he's also filthy rich. I don't want to say he's just rotten, that's mean. I'll say a few other things instead).

Your society creates an inordinate amount of homeless people, that's first. Worry about the view later. You are lucky that you even get to see poverty up close, most just move the living fuck away from it.

Wait.

Edit:

I bring Rogan up because if you go through his entire catalog, you will see he has hours and hours of content that just bullies homeless people. He has done that to a few other groups, literal hours if you stack them side by side in a compilation. So there was already a lot of damage done in terms of mindshare by this media-arm.
If they could have a job they wouldn't be homeless.

The benefit of OKLCH is that it normalizes the colors to our perception. So a saturation % change in OKLCH is more of what we'd expect than in HSL. This is good for design systems that want to have a visually expected output after running it through a color function.

See the part on https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/oklch-in-css-why-quit-rg... and notice the cut out in the right column. Now pretend to stretch those cutouts to fit the edges of the chart, you'll have a color gradient that is more uniform across the board versus the left where you have darker areas.
Nope. We want renewables to be a solution but they're all predicated on various flavors of non-renewable unobtanium and do literally nothing to address (among other things) global agriculture's absolute dependence upon petrochemical inputs or global logistics as a concept. The actual solution would be aggressive managed degrowth in conjunction with renewables and ag-based sequestration projects. The irony here is degrowth is absolutely guaranteed at this point, the only question is does it happen in a managed and planned fashion or does society collapse. All current evidence suggests the latter.
Your premise seems to be that homelessness is caused by mental illness. I think homelessness is very often caused by not being able to afford homes. Chicago has a lot less low-income housing now than it did when I got here. There's some basic arithmetic you can do.

To the extent that your premise is true (and I believe that, for many individuals, it is) that also speaks to our city pulling up the ladder on people. I was living in Logan Square when Rahm shut the mental health clinics down. There was one on Milwaukee. People protested for months. People on the streets obviously being in a very bad place and not getting help became a lot more noticeable after.

>That's just hand waving. The vast majority of people with capital will only ever be willing...

Yes, if the only option you can imagine for building a business is to go the traditional investor/VC route, then this is probably true.

Kind of odd, though. You actually introduced the idea of "regular investors" being some sort of requirement, when the whole point is to re-imagine how we build businesses.

But, I suppose all new ideas—especially disruptive ones—appear as hand waving, given that most people are unable to imagine beyond the status quo.
You also didn't have "sampler music". People did creative things with samplers but people didn't seek out music based on the sampler.

As mentioned, current AI music is listening to recordings of Muzak like what they use to play in elevators and at Dennys.

As per the article mentions of resolving AAAA IPv6 records, a feature was just merged into Linux's systemd-resolved last week.

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/34165

So you can do.

RefuseRecordTypes=AAAA

So there, your DNS won't ever query for IPv6 AAAA records.

(in fact you can refuse any DNS questions like MX, SRV, TXT as well with:

RefuseRecordTypes=MX SRV TXT)

Note - I started adding that feature because some applications were "misbehaving" and querying AAAA records when IPv6 stack was disabled.

It's an added charge cycle on the battery. A guy in San Diego does full EIS and more for EV cells. His data shows multiple shorter recharge cycles wear the battery down faster, no matter what range you try restricting the recharging to. Same data shows that the batteries are better when conditioned harder on their first charge, gaining much better cycle performance and count, at a minimal sacrifice of capacity.

And this exact same thing coincides DIRECTLY with my lithium-powered portable lighting, so I'm pretty up-to-date on very top-level research, because I hire this same person.

His name is Luke. You'll see him all over the globe doing lithium EV research and testing.
This is an exaggeration - a bad faith interpretation based on the most extreme opinions (unless you are defining "many" relatively - i.e. if 10 out of 100 people in a room are openly racist, that's "many" by colloquial usage, because being openly racist is so dramatic, not because 10% is an intrinsically big number).

> Merriam-Webster has it as "chiefly British spelling" of jail

It's odd that it doesn't mention it as archaic, because it's provably Just Not Used in the real world [0], but it's also an American dictionary, so all bets are off

> https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?q=gaol

If you click on the entry your search results give, it takes you to the entry for jail (eg: jail is the canonical noun it's using). Jail and gaol have slightly different routes into English, with gaol being via Northern French. Sez the OED:

> "remains as a written form in the archaic spelling gaol (chiefly due to statutory and official tradition); but this is obsolete in the spoken language, where the surviving word is jail, repr. Old Parisian French and Middle English jaiole, jaile. Hence though both forms gaol, jail, are still written, only the latter is spoken. In U.S. jail is the official spelling."

Finally, though, "jail" as a noun is pretty infrequent compared to "prison", which are the same thing in the UK (unlike the US), but the latter is much more common. The verb form on the other hand is almost always "jail", so when you are "jailed", you're sent to a prison.
