Can somebody explain how to parse the page linked here? This seems like deeplinking Intl the middle of a conversation. Side note: it feels like Twitter specifically has done immeasurable damage to the discourse. Why does the communication

How can you see that this has little to do with the blockchain? This is like a basic application of that technology. Yes of course the government could implement the same thing, but many people already have.

Private keys and addresses are not the same thing. In the current model, if you get my social security number, checking account number, or credit card number, you have it. I have to trust you not to use it for something bad. At least in BT

I know it’s sortof a dirty word, but this to me is one of the things that a blockchain solves. You cannot steal an address on the blockchain. I mean my god, imagine if somebody rewrote bitcoin, except there were no private keys, and the pub

I think you're missing the point I'm making. Sure that team has a lot of experience running one of the biggest shows of all time, but they're toxic to lots of people who watch TV right now. It was a bad PR move, and it makes

I’m more bearish on Netflix’s long term sustainability lately. How many big show cancellations have recently resulted in massive blowback from huge swaths of fans? As much as those might seem like petty complaining from overly enthusiastic

I think this is it more than anything. People wanted to make the web complicated because it made them feel cooler developing it. Some SPAs are cool. Easyeda.com is pretty cool. But also: storing information about a page in the URL is pret

Wow this is one of the most elegant and interesting things I've read in a while. This is absolutely genius. Amazing!

Realistically because a “free” fossil fuel is going to harm efforts to build wind/solar farms. Long term it seems that carbon-resource extraction should be expensive and hard. At least harder than solar/wind.

Hey that’s actually a great idea.

What about if you defraud somebody by pretending to be the IRS?

Maybe there should be a third category then.

Which I think is a mistake. The tax code should be accommodating; it should not be adversarial. Many people do not treat bitcoin like gold, they treat it like a paypal account.

To highlight how nuts this could be: I travel to India every year, and I always carry with me a few hundred USD worth of rupees (the local currency). It would be insane for me to try and track the value of the rupees (in USD) for every time

Isn't it fraud already a federal crime?

"Pocket operator" is just the size of the device they're making. There are lots of them from samplers (like you're seeing) to little synthesizers: https://teenage.engineering/products/po#features R

Haha, “changing electronic music” is a BIT of a stretch here, NYT. These are definitely fun toys, but if anything these are just entry points into analog synthesis. Eurorack modules, and the massive DIY community around them are changing m

These are standard in all the new constructions I see in Arizona.

It is actually almost physically painful how much I want this thing. "Software dev" for me takes on quite a few roles from debugging hardware/IoT devices in the field, to programming lighting shows or interactive art install

That is absurd. I’ve lived in Arizona for almost 15 years and I don’t think I know of a single person who has ever been threatened with a gun.

This is not true as far as I can tell. HFT does not appear to be part of spacex’s strategy at all.

So youre running an entire Linux environment to turn a relay/solenoid on and off? Now imagine you’re a kid who had the idea to water your garden with a computer. On an arduino, you’d write about 20 lines of code. On a PI...I mean, how

The shield bot is a learning tool. I don’t think a reasonable interpretation of what I’m saying is anything other than that. An atmega and C++ are absolutely NOT toys however. And in fact, arduinos are so cheap at this point that I have p

And what do you do with a plain pi that you couldn't do with an instance of Idle running on a desktop PC?

by blhack 7y ago
Because kids get them, don't do anything useful or fun with them, and conclude that engineering is not for them. They also eat up often-tight discretionary budgets for educational tools.

The raspberry pi occupies a really sad place for me. I know so, so many people who were very well intentioned, and bought a raspberry pi for one of their friends or family members. They've heard of "making", and the good as

The drinks at Alamo aren’t distracting like at a dinner theater. And that isn’t the allure anyway. The people who run Alamo have concentrated so hard on customer experience that it’s almost embarrassing to the other theaters. 1) Nobody tak

Retailers are chasing amazon on variety, and delivery, but I actually think the next evolution is curation. The loyalty my wife and I have to Costco (which, btw also has an incredibly cheap deliver option which is NOT a subscription) is pre
