I've never heard of it! I will check it out. Have you seen it used successfully?

Pure chance. A mutual friend knew about my project and invited me to the first meetup, which happened a couple months ago. We were hoping this second one would allow us to do deeper critques than the first, which was paced more quickly, but

I actually was just at a small meetup for people in the SF Bay Area who are building memex's. The Zettelkasten was a common theme in several of the projects people were working on. Here are my notes from the event for anyone interested

Tangent: Did you make up the term "character piece"? I've not heard that before but I don't have a name for these kind of articles that include stories of specific people.

The database has been taken down: > The database was originally found by security researcher Sanyam Jain, who said that he was able to locate phone numbers associated with several celebrities. It's not clear who owned the database n

Is protocol if you find these things a security researcher not to share the link? I read about these leaks a lot and am always interested in viewing them but never can find them. I assume the links are shared with people carefully because

If I remember correctly, it has to be something that the person was actually capable of, otherwise the person just dies.

I built a copy of Minesweeper using AngularJS for fun that may be instructive. Demo: http://ceasarbautista.com/minesweeper/ Source: https://github.com/Ceasar/minesweeper

Really interesting! Does submitting a claim here prevent you from suing Equifax in small claims court? It seems possible that a $5000 may be worth my time.

Interesting post! I appreciate this being shared. Would Triplebyte mind sharing the data? I'd love if the numbers could speak for themselves, rather than having to rely on an interpretation of the numbers.

The draw is that you can get barista-quality espresso drinks for cheaper. Labor is the biggest expense of coffee shops.

The heavily moderated ones are generally better. /r/askscience and /r/askhistorians are the highest quality subs I know of. They delete any comments that don't cite sources.

Thank you for that answer! Would you mind briefly expanding on "Because it's so clear that Tether is simply used as a way to circumvent AML/KYC"? Not being contrarian, I just don't understand how this part works.

I never really understand this claim, but also don't have a deep expertise in AML/KYC. How does Tether help here?

Very good point, integrating that into my notes now :) I know that burden too well.

I've been writing a personal encyclopedia for the last five or six years or so. I have some 1500+ articles multiple of which are 50+ pages. I think it's been really valuable. I think I get a few things out of it: 1. Perfect recall

Teenagers/college students use it to show off they are hanging out with each other without looking like they're trying. That probably increased its adoption by young people.

No, same vein. I think I would waste much less time if I had no access to Internet at home, mostly because when I'm bored or tired, instead of turning to Netflix/Youtube/Reddit/etc I'd have to find something else to

Did you actually stop paying for internet? It's something I've been thinking about. Were any parts surprising difficult?

This is a great explanation. Is this problem useful for anything? I've seen multiple variations of these prisoner problems now, and I can never remember any being useful in other contexts.

Is that the right way to value Bitcoin? What explains the difference in price between Bitcoin and other coins?

Did you ever feel like gluten was affecting you? Or was this a random change you made that happened to have a noticeable effect?

Ignoring the content for a moment, I really liked how the background color changes with the mood of the content. I don't think I've seen that before, but it's refreshing from the wall of black text on white backgrounds which

Does that mean all programs written in anything but C are "art" and not "engineering"?

And if the goal is to compute the position of the stars mechanically, with no electricity? By your definition, it suddenly becomes engineering again.

Interesting, I interviewed with one of the cofounders and felt like it was one of the best interviews I had. Lengthy, moderately difficult, but fair. I passed, but remember feeling that way even immediately after the interview.

Arguably, because Uber is in the spotlight as a result of breaking the taxi worker strike at JFK. Don't think Musk is getting a pass per se, as much as he hasn't attracted attention to himself.

The articles I have read have made it sound like a Catch-22. They cannot profit while they have to pay drivers, but self-driving cars will enable competition from both software companies and automakers, especially if an automaker reduces th
