I don't agree or disagree with the parent comment, but what do you mean by manipulation here?

Yes, it needs to be legal to be wrong, and it needs to be legal to lie when not under oath.

This appears to have big stakes for free speech in general, not just climate science. We need people to be allowed to disagree - yes, even in the face of data.

I don't think it's naive at all. Not everybody will agree on what a mistake is, and not everybody will agree that it's important to avoid mistakes. Parenting, like all human relationships, is a messy one-size-doesn't-f

I am not the author. Vaxry has made the most-github-starred Wayland compositor over the past two years and has issued an open invitation to help develop it.

Closing some positions doesn't imply that one should stop hiring for those that remain open and unfilled. What sinister motive are you implying?

You mean I get scoped every few years and it’s not even a thing??!

10+ a day? If that's legit, it explains entirely what's become of reporting quality. Do you have any links that go into more detail on how the day of a journalist has changed?

Perhaps, but a really cool thing to know, and you're much less likely to hurt yourself. I enjoyed the read :)

Hoon is occupying that top-left quandrant as well, as long as you you don't mistake your surprise for horror - https://developers.urbit.org/guides/core/hoon-school . Surprisingly powerful.

Sort of related, I was browsing the github of the author of the Hyprland wayland compositor to see what else he's built. Smiled at https://github.com/vaxerski/Holy6800 - I love this kind of useless but cool proje

It's exactly the same age as Bitcoin. What's a government Bitcoin node?

I think you're probably making a joke about how DOGE is funny, and it is, but if you're not, I'm curious what your reasoning is.

What is a good way to discover great communities on Matrix?

This is a very interesting observation, thank you. I find degrowth arguments that call on governmental power to limit demand worrying. Application of force there is artificial and goes against what people naturally do. It's particula

Right, these concerns are predicated on apps built natively on FedNow gaining market share to rival Venmo enough that these transactions are no longer opaque. If everybody uses it the same way they use ACH, there's no difference to th

GNU is somewhere between a non-profit software outfit and a cult in a way that is greater than either. I don't agree with all of the positions that GNU takes in specific, but in aggregate I think the movement has been a huge force for

In the "pyramid" style graphic the author uses, dignity being above safety implies that dignity is less essential than safety, not more.

As an example, if you're say, Venmo, your ACH batches won't contain information about the individual p2p money movements of your customers.

by EgregiousCube 3y ago
ACH is slow and coarse, FedNow is capable of being realtime and fine-grained. Two institutions might have one giant ACH per day between them that includes a ton of smaller transactions that are all invisible to the ACH system itself.

by EgregiousCube 3y ago
As mentioned by a few folks elsewhere in these comments, if FedNow is wildly successful and takes a meaningful portion of payments, it centralizes information about lots of peoples' financial activity in one place, across banks and acr

I don't intend to reduce Europe's summer to Greek wildfires, in fact quite the opposite, I want to point out that they are a bad example because their causes are still being investigated. Rhodes's firefighters also suspect ar

The Greek wildfires may be a poor example here, as arson is suspected: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/corfu-wildfi... . It's too early to ascribe a cause.

This is a high value comment - it's got a hook that I sort of mostly get, but follows that up with jargon laden things I don't understand well, and your references gave me a half hour of rabbit-hole learning. I appreciate the cas

Sort of a meta-comment about infosec.exchange, so I expect a few downvotes, but while this was a funny dad joke it took more scanning and reading than it was worth. Mastodon UI's are very dated despite being new. I miss interdepartme

I think it has a lot to do with the birth rate. Here's a study from the prior century on the topic - there are a lot of correlated "people doing well" metrics, but when they controlled for fertility only it had the strongest
